Sanctuary: A Witch's Tale (2024)
Watchable? Maybe but...
It is ok. Actually barely ok. There are moments where the behavior of people and most events don't make any sense and you will laugh out loud and maybe shout at the screen.
It is not a police procedural drama, it's more like a lightweight soap opera with a semi-good witch who everyone blames, for a murder of a not-good-at-all guy who everyone adores, and a stupid, oh so stupid police department.
The actors try to act according to this preposterous script. I am all for magic, spells and drama but this is not it. It is borderline a satire. If you go in expecting Broadchurch you will be disappointed.
It is the kind of series you can have in the background while you are doing something else or when nothing, and I mean NOTHING else is on. I watched the whole thing while working on a home project because I was curious on how stupid they would choose to do the finale.
Keep your expectations very low and you will be alright.
Wild Mountain Thyme (2020)
Barely a two rating
This movie could have been great. Instead of stupid cliches and depictions of Irish people as if they are caricatures of themselves, they could have created something worthwhile. The scenery is gorgeous. Emily Blunt is a good actress, Jamie is a good actor, both beautiful people, Christopher Waken is one of the greats. And that's where the good things stop. The script is childish, the costumes laughable, the humor nonexistent. Emily is dressed as a 70-year-old spinster living in 1973 rural Ireland where phones were scarce, and the only shop was the post office. For a minute, I thought the movie was set in 1973, but no, it is current, a no Covid 2020. John Ham's New York savvy character rents a Rolls Royce to impress his 2 relatives at the farm in the middle of nowhere. Well, it was at a picnic with the neighbors. He gifts his cousin a fancy classic Burberry trench coat to wear in the fields. Jamie, poor Jamie, did not know what it was when he opened the box. Anyway, you get the picture. The movie also has no rhythm, no pulse; it is lukewarm all way through. Do yourself a favor and trust the bad reviews. They are all correct. Don't watch this garbage.
What/If (2019)
Watch it on fast forward for Renee scenes
The only reason to watch this show is Renee Zellweger. She is a true star, looks great, and gives a performance that you have never seen before from her. The rest is absolutely forgettable, empty actors saying their unremarkable lines to unravel a plot that is ridiculous and stupid. I watched three episodes and decided to use the fast forward button to protect my sanity and just enjoy Renee's scenes for her amazing wardrobe and star presence. I suggest you do the same.
