Tremors: Shrieker Island (2020)
Better than expected
I love 1-4 and the series, thought 5 was okay and hated 6, so my expectations were pretty low. Thankfully, it was a fun time. Which is all I could ask for.
It was never going to match the charm of the original 4 films, Stampede Entertainment built this universe and the lack of their involvement has been sorely missed.
But, it was wonderful to see Michael Gross return for 3 more outings, when one would have been expected from most actors. Gross has carried this franchise, so it's worth supporting for his efforts alone.
Being that...
SPOILER ALERT
This is Gross's final outing, I'm happy it was handled with enough care to make it have the impact of decent farewell to a beloved character.
If this is the end of the main Tremors films, it's been a hell of a ride.
Thank you Michael Gross for all your efforts and dedication.
Long live Burt Gummer.
Now... For god's sake someone pick up the Kevin Bacon series.
Boardwalk Empire: Eldorado (2014)
"I... am not seeking..... forgiveness."
What a terrific finale to a terrific series. Boardwalk Empire has always been one of those rare shows to contain all the elements of what makes a superb television series; the excellent acting, the terrific storytelling, the emotionally captivating characters, stunning cinematography, the list honestly goes on, and the series thankfully sustained that mark of quality until this great finale.
The way everything came full circle was brilliantly handled, and the resolutions with each character was presented in a very satisfying way, especially with Nucky Thompson.
I could not recommend this series more. Please do not listen to those who have complained that this final season was a disappointment, if anything, that could be not farther from the truth. If you're new to the series, you will not be disappointed. One of television's finest dramas has concluded, but it was presented in the most satisfying was imaginable.
You won't be disappointed.
