NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service: Love Lost (2022)
The end of NCIS must be due
The end of NCIS must be coming to an end very soon.
The writers must be writing these in their sleep nowadays as they just have no passion, no originality or even thought in it.
It's acting by numbers for the staff now.
This episode would have been a good one but it ended up just being the usual comedy one.
The secretary of the Navy is accused of murder would have made a good episode.. unfortunately, this wasn't.
The NCIS agents just do what they want now. Go into rooms without warrants, able to access phones without even having the password, Doesn't data protection exist ?
It's too easy.
No one has a lawyer, people admit to crimes when they don't even need to.
They even have an illegal gambling joint.. how very 1980's.. and it's operating in plain sight.. I mean.. they even added security cameras after the event that helped to prove that the guilty person was guilty.
A perfect place for money laundering but apparently the police are not bothered by it,
The secretary of the Navy had an husband that was in debt to a Russian mafia member.. and it's not even a security risk.
The guilty person even managed to get a top secret nerve toxin that only a few people in America has access to... from the dark web...massively in debt but still enough money to buy something so dangerous...of t'internet.
All to get some inheritance money that would tax months to get, and it's not even coming to him.. what he going to do.. kill his wife for her inheritance.
A lot of work and effort for $50k.
There is no tension. No passion..everything is perfect.. it is just too easy.
Arrival (2016)
Bill and ted... you have a lot to be blamed for !!
I really loved this film for the most part.... was a bit slow but it did keep my interest for most of it and no one did or said anything stupid so that's always a positive. However, it was a film that didn't know how to end itself so it came up with the biggest cop out ending. It was just another interstellar. Or should I say bill and ted... how do we get out of the cell... I know, when we get out we will leave the keys under the bed and then we can ourselves out. I know it's a science fiction theory but I really hate it in a film and for 2 years running we have films that events in the future effect the past. None of the film made sense with that ending. To be honest, I doubt that the aliens even exist... I think that they are a human projection as no one actually touched them, the 'spaceship' didn't exist as no one tested the materials and maybe inter stellar travel doesn't work and the future humans created this event to get the people in the past to work together. There was no communication between the ships as they already know what would happen as it has already happened so there was no need to communicate. I just hated the ending and it's a film that I wouldn't watch again as there just isn't enough in the film for me to go back to... no hidden depth at all.
Interstellar (2014)
Over-hyped Nonsense
For a 5 star reviewed film that seems to be becoming one of the best rated films of all time, 9.1 at the latest count I couldn't believe just how mind numbing boring this film is. From the cast that seems to have zero chemistry between them or instances of over acting that plague the film over its 2.45 hours length. For a classic film you would love to watch it again, for this, I couldn't imagine watching it again at all. It had no depth and on repeat viewings I just think all the flaws of the film will be shown up more clearly. For a twist that is the silliest since 'The Sixth Sense' to questionable science throughout the film. Not a great film at all, It's just OK, but never a classic. Mixing Silent Running with the star trek episode 'Parallax' shows the un-originality of modern film-making.
Scully (1984)
Classic TV
I watched this when it first came out on Channel 4 and being young it was the first "surreal" programme that i had seen. It is funny but in a real life sort of way and it does depict the realities on living on Merseyside in the 80's very accurately. It was hard a hard time but people still had a laugh, made friends and generally didn't let society get them down. It features cameo's by various players from the mighty Liverpool team on the mid-80's. After seeing the acting performances from Souness and Dalglish its no wonder that they stuck to football. Its a really good little series, it wouldn't have won many Oscar's but it's not a bad programme at all. And recently it has come out on DVD for around £10 so its a "must buy" as far as i am concerned.
Dawn of the Dead (2004)
Awful... the dead should stay dead.!!!
I go to the cinema with my friends to watch a modern CGI'd version of a classic film and what do i get to see.... one of the worse films that its been my misfortune to watch for many a year. What happened to the budget. It must only have cost a couple of million of quid to film and completed in about a week. It started of with promise but as soon as they got to the mall the story had nowhere to go. So it went back to the old faithful and have stupid people doing stupid things just to move the plotline along. These films have always been awful at showing the dead and this is no better. A city of millions and all you see are a couple of thousand of extras walking around, waiting for their meal break, i thought CGI was going to show the untold millions walking the earth. You get more people at a grateful dead concert..!!!! You had the gunshop owner who doesn't actually kill many people, the new father who doesn't see that he cannot stay with his wife & daughter, the woman who risks everyone's life for a dog they had only found the other day. And the sheriff who's wound moves from his left arm to his right a third of the way into the film. Why couldn't they film it at the Fort they mentioned.. that sounded a lot better ..!!! Overall... a film to miss or to see when you are part of the living dead masses...
