Quantum Leap (2022)
It's hard to transition when you are a fan of the original, but ....
I loved the original, so my expectations were high. It's hard to take the original from the 1980s and revamp it for 2022, but I think they've done a good job. I like Addison and Ben, and I think I'll warm to them even more after a few more episodes. If you're a fan of the original, just give this one a chance. They choose a good actor to play Ben: he has a very compassionate and kindly expression just as Sam did. I actually never took to Sam's hologram much as he was too smutty for me, so I'm enjoying the deeper relationship between Ben and Addison. That's a nice touch. Ok, I've reached 600 characters.....signing off. 👍
The Terminal List (2022)
So much better than a Marvel movie!
A series for our time. Things I most like about it:
Non-woke
An actually decent storyline.
Reveals the truth that, even at the highest levels of government, men (and women) are tempted to corruption, and, sadly, many fall into that temptation.
My favourite line:
"It was authorised under EUA. It wasn't technically illegal."
Like I said, a series for our time.
I would have given it a ten, but I hate all the swearing.
Serebryanye konki (2020)
The Story is Tired, but the Direction, Filming and Choreography is Fabulous.
I very much enjoyed this movie for its artistic content. The plot is pretty typical, but it was worth watching just for the expertise of direction, filming and choreography, and that is why I gave it such a high rating.
Anne (2017)
Started off beautifully......but then......
I loved the 1985 miniseries Anne of Green Gables with Megan Follows, so I was really looking forward to this one. It started off beautifully and ended up woke (like a lot of titles lately). I got the whole spectrum: from feminism to LGBT. I stopped watching at S01E06. It's just all too political and forced. Not for me, I'm afraid.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Guardians and Gladiators (2020)
Can't stomach the wokeness anymore...
I couldn't even make it halfway through this first episode of the new season. I've finally given up watching L&O. Politics is ruining every good cop show on TV not that I ever thought this one was at the top, but I am gutted that Blue Bloods and Chicago PD are being ruined by politics. I just hope everyone shows their distain through the ratings.
Chicago P.D.: Protect and Serve (2021)
I used to really enjoy this series....until it got political.
If it continues down this race-baiting road, I probably won't continue to watch this series. The way they tried to equate the police shooting on this episode with what is happening across America today is ludicrous. It's a shame the Hollywood culture is going down this track: political and social wokeness. They will continue to divide and conquer us according to our melanin levels, and the end result will be that nobody wins. Sad.
Blue Bloods: Another Look (2019)
The most refreshingly unwoke television episode ever
Great to see BB not following the current sickingly anti-man rhetoric currently so popular on TV today. There's already a review on the episodes here, so I'm simply writing this review to show my support for the balance and unwokeness which is portrayed in this excellent series. Wish there were more series like this one.
It is positive towards the family, supportive of both men and women, shows ethics and morals which, sadly, seem to be from a bygone era.....at least in our current TV and movie viewing experiences. I hope this series continues for many years yet. We need more series like this to counterbalance the very one-sided, annoying rubbish that is out there. An example of series that I used to enjoy but don't so much now that they feel they need to join the woke-club are Madam Secretary and SVU Law & Order.
Resolve (2017)
A wonderful example of faith and courage under trial.
What a fabulous movie. What an incredible man. What a beautiful faith in Christ our Lord. And what a tragic loss for his family.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (2012)
Surprised me, even though I've seen all the others.
Even though I didn't enjoy the books much (although I love the actual idea and storyline), I am a huge fan of the Twilight movies; I knew this movie was going to entertain me, and it didn't disappoint. Having read the book yonks ago, I had forgotten the ending. This final movie of the saga did a great job at wrapping up the storyline. Apart from one obvious scene (you'll know it when you see it), they did a great job with all the CGI effects. As usual, the scenery was stunning, and there were some great fight scenes, laugh-out-loud humorous moments and one scene even evoked a passionate applause from a three-quarters-full theatre (middle of the morning at school time, so there weren't many students or people with jobs there). There was the predictable (and nauseating) titter from the younger ones when Jacob goes shirtless. There wasn't a great deal of romance compared to the previous movie, which was nice, but the action scenes were plentiful and wonderfully choreographed.
For some reason, the Twilight movies really entertain me, even at 45! I enjoy the ethics portrayed by the Cullen family and there is a strong message in these movies for me personally that is not only charming, but so lacking in many movies today.
So, excellent movie, for me, and, if you're not one of those who decided they were going to hate the movies even before they came out, you won't be wasting your money if you choose to go see it. The only bad thing about it is that this is the last in the Saga :(
