Lady Ballers (2023)
10/10
Great and Timely Movie with a Great Message
3 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Hilarious movie in appropriate taste for the topic. In fact, it's perfect for the subject and absolutely brilliant! Outrageously funny, also heartwarming at times. The actors, all of whom are unknown for their acting abilities, at least by me, really pull it off well.

And so many cameos by people famous for something else make it more fun, including Senator Ted Cruz, Riley Gaines, an award winning swimmer and activist for protecting women's sports, and Dr. Jordan Peterson, renowned psychologist and author.

Be sure to watch to the end as there is a short bit after the credits are run. Well worth waiting for it!

If you want to have a good laugh at some of the ridiculous things that are happening today and frustrating us on a daily basis, this is the movie for you. Don't miss it!

What the Heck Happened?
20 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I love this series. But this episode, if it had been the first episode I had watched, I would never have watched it again. The levels of incompetence and ignorance by people that are supposedly trained in negotiations and foreign/alien affairs is beyond belief.

The first thing Weir should have done was to explain the idiocy of citrus fruits suddenly becoming toxic. The idiocy that is Dr. McKay. At his best/worst. He didn't learn anything from the last episode, despite the appearance that he did. He just resorted back to his old, obnoxious, insufferable self. Not likely, after what he experienced. But, we can't expect disconnected writers to understand that. This is why shows get canceled prematurely; they hire anyone and everyone to write a script with limited knowledge of what went before.

OK. So we've established that Hollywood, including the Canadian Hollywood, is completely cheap and ignorant about viewers.

Nonetheless, without including too many spoilers, whoever wrote this drivel clearly has no clue what went before nor how to handle unusual situations except by pitting team members against each other. I'm so disappointed. But, at least it explains why the show only lasted 5 seasons. This is exactly what disappoints viewers and fans, writer ignorance.

Super!

Surprisingly great show. Better than most of the foreign films and series I've watched. However, the distracting thing about foreign shows is the fact that the audio is always different from the closed captions. That and the fact that it really went overboard on the sex and drugs themes warrant me giving it only a 9.

Still, it was refreshingly funny and innovative. The male chants as accompanying audio was a nice touch and really helped set the mood. The acting was spot on, each actor did a fine job of representing their character. I'm really looking forward to another season although it's been awhile since this one aired. I hope Netflix is planning on continuing it because they really left us hanging on a variety of plot points. It would be a shame if they don't do at least one more season.

The Ministry of Time (2015–2020)

Better than I expected!
13 March 2018
I'm really enjoying this Spanish SciFi series! It takes the past and rolls it into the present and back and forth in an entirely entertaining manner! I've grown to love each of the characters, one more than the other, depending on the episode. It's also a good way to help me brush up on my Spanish. I'm currently watching it with English subtitles but plan to switch to Spanish and rewatch the entire 3 seasons. I hope it continues well into the next few years so I can learn more about Spanish history, practice my Spanish, and continue to enjoy this remarkable sci-fi show!
