Anomalia (2016)
Interesting Story
This is not what I normally expect from French series. It's filmed in Switzerland, but the town is on the French border. It is a unique story. The main character is completely unlikable initially. She's rude and harsh and takes a minute to get used to, but she softens up as the season progresses. The supernatural element is not overboard, but is a big part of it. It builds up. The scenery is incredibly beautiful. It's good way to spend a rainy weekend.
Dorian Gray (2009)
This is a shamefully bad movie
There is nothing to like about this movie. Ben Barnes was not a good choice for this role. But then again this version of Dorian Gray was ridiculous, This was poorly acted, poorly written, poorly directed. The sad thing is this movie took itself seriously,
Hagazussa (2017)
Slow and very dull
There is almost no dialogue. The majority of the movie has no characters interacting with each other. I fast forwarded through all the long stretches of nothing and got about a half hour out of the movie. I missed nothing. It was a waste of a half hour.
Bridgerton (2020)
Lovely Fluff Show, Amusing and Fun
All the people complaining about the unrealistic casting, and historical inaccuracies failed to understand that this is a fictional story, a fictional place, and is not supposed to be historically accurate. It's not based on any real people. It was exactly as it was supposed to be. It was a show with beautiful costumes, part period piece, part fairy tale, an insight about how women were treated, and what was expected of them. It also showed some going their own way. I thought it was a lovely show. It was fun, and didn't take itself too seriously.
If you want Jane Austin and a historical accuracy, there are plenty of those around. Bridgerton never claimed to be that, so it's not fair to compare them.
The Spanish Princess (2019)
Inaccurate and awful accents
The inaccuracies of this series is bad enough, without adding Charlotte Hope's horrible fake accent. What were they thinking? I cannot stand listening to her. They could have chosen a Spanish actress, or at least one that could do a semi believable Spanish accent. It adds insult to injury. I love period dramas, and am very disappointed they butchered this one.
