Se, jie (2007)
Time frame error?
I had sort of a hard time getting into this movie at first, because of a technical goof in the opening scenes. I understand that it is silly reason for me to be judgmental of such fine film, just because of the goof.
I spotted a 1949 and a 1950 Buick in one of the opening scenes. I thought this showed a lack of authenticity on the part of the movie makers. The movie's time frame was supposed to have taken place during the time of World War II. The war ended in 1945. If that "wrong year auto" error was allowed, I just can't help but wonder what other mistakes were kept in the film.
Please understand that it did NOT ruin or in any way take away from my viewing enjoyment, but it just made me wonder why the mistake was allowed.
Thanks
Prime Suspect: The Lost Child (1995)
Prime Suspect painted itself into a corner. Just an opinion.
I, and my wife, have become 100% addicted to "Prime Suspect". We rent them, 3 at a time, from NetFlix.
This is the best police series I have seen.
But --- The "Lost Child" episode my have been the end of my addiction. Maybe it's because the creator and writer of the series, Lynda La Plante, was not part of the "Lost Child" episode. I don't know.
Now I seem to have lost interest - because in this episode, Detective Superintendent Jane Tennison is doing the exactly same thing as she did in all of the previous episodes, i.e. Running the show. For example, I don't recall any of the other Superintendents (Tennison's immediate boss)in any previous episodes, being so involved in the hour-to-hour, day-to-day, ordering the other D.C.'s about and such about, in nearly every scene.
I loved the series because it was so real. It is not so real (to me) anymore. In real life law enforcement, when a person is promoted to a higher position they do not go to work every day and do the job they have before they got promoted. I was in law enforcement and the Criminal Justice system for over 20 years and never saw this happen.
My wife still is fanatically loyal to the series, but I am going to try and sneak in different Netflix movies every now and then. lol.
Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie (2003)
How many producers does it take to make a bad comedy movie?
Let me get this straight.
It took 5 producers to create this lame comedy movie? Tell the truth now, you have seen funnier flicks than this haven't you? And I'll bet many of those comedy movies were made 5 years ago or more.
I just saw "Dodgeball" and laughed and laughed. It was well written, well directed and *gasp*) only had 2 producers one of whom I have my doubts about. (Stuart Cornfeld)
No one will remember this stinkeroo (Blue Collar et al) after 2 years.
(thankfully)
Five thumbs down.
