I'm 71 years old and grew up during the days of epic film-making: Ben Hur, Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, to name a few of the greats. Maybe this isn't LOA, but dang, it is gooooooooood! I sas the 84 film when it first came out: loved the story but hated the movie. Terribly campy, not epic at all. Then here comes the modern version. Loved part 1 but was really impressed by part 2. Chalamet is amazing as Paul. Butler is a devilish and scary Feyd--he gave my wife the creeps--he was that good in the role. The final battle scene using the worms--great touch. Zendaya was really the only weak element of the three major stars. She tends to pout too much; and I didn't like her stopping and posing for the camera when she was fighting in the last battle. But these are minor hiccups. It's a great movie and now can't wait for Dune Messiah!

I like Call the Midwife. It's had its ups and downs and was wondering after last season if it wasn't time to stop calling the midwife. BUT this season has been better than many and tonight's episode--had me in tears especially with Fred's situation. He and Violet had me really misty-eyed. Am glad it turned out the way it did; otherwise, I would have lost it. Everyone played their parts perfectly. Loved, loved Violet's two campaign speeches. I wish all campaign speeches were as true and motivational as hers. Only one complaint: there are too many characters and stories in the episodes. Keep focusing in Trixie.

I really liked the movie. The emphasis on AI is so timely...and scary. They couldn't have picked a more pertinent story line for today.

The acting was great. Am glad that Hayley Atwell is in a good movie other than the Avengers. She's one of my favorite actresses. Underutilized.

They killed off one of the characters; definitely saw it coming, but hated it when it happened. I always liked that character. I hope none of the other primary characters is killed off. PS: Ethan seemed to get over the loss just a little bit too quickly.

As for the action itself. I loved the action scene at the beginning with the Russian sub. Really wild. The chase in the streets of Rome cool but a little too long.

What the heck? First snd third Thors were great. 2nd one was just ok, but also cringeworthy at times. This one was just awful. N Portman simply had zero emotional impact upon the movie. A terrible death scene. She needed to take lessons on dying from Debra Winger. That lady knows how to die. The kids going into battle? SMH. Gotta give it to the screaming goats though. They were hysterical. Some od the cameos were good: Melissa McCarthy and Matt Damon...that was funny. The wokeism in these movies are simply sad. No wonder thr MCU brand is tanking like a Bud Lite. I hope MCU gets back on track....and soon!!!!

I'm a grown man, but I still got tears because of Jemma's situation. I mean I got tears watching it the THIRD time. Elizabeth Henstridge's performance was heart breaking as was Iain's. Their relationship has become the main reason I watch the show. I miss this show and Once Upon A Time.

I also loved Coulson's reaction to Jemma after Ward saved her. Classic. Cracked me up.

Also loved Ward letting Jemma know he knew she was mocking him behind his back. LOL! Loved Jemma's response: no, it's more nasal than he was making it.

Sad that Ward ended up being Hydra in the end. Thr cast itself was disappointed he turned to be Hydra as well.

To me thi sseason was vintage Silent Witness. I didn't know who was good or bad until the end. Was the main cop good or bad? I couldn't tell till the end. I felt the same with Sam Ryan. Great ending which I definitely didn't see coming. I am Glad Simone"s gone though. It was a pretty insufferable character. It was like the producers had to have a woke character. Thats getting really old. I love Jack and Nikki though.

Also I liked the whole plot about data privacy. It is a major problem in today's society. It was handled well.

Really didn't like previous season. No intensity to the murders. Just murder by Numbers. But this season redeemed Silent Witness. I am glad because it's my favorite crime show along with Vera.

Remember seeing it when it was first released. The homecoming scene left everyone in tears, men and College students incredible cinematic experience. I justice Cicely didn't win best actress that year. But Liza was great in Cabaret.

Terrible Captain America suit for the Falcon. Looked really stupid. The white head covering looked stupid. Very lame speech. I cringed through all of it. I did like parts of the series but evry now and then, it really dragged. "Oh, we need some tender moments" which didn't work. Just stretched it out unnecessarily. Let Bucky have his own series. Or just get off the politically correct pablum you're giving everyone. If this continues, I'm done with F&WS.

Loved, loved the standoff between Sandra and Jack at the end. Jack along with Brian is truly my favorite character in the show. Sandra had this one coming for a long time. Her self-righteous attitude deserved the dressing down Jack gave her. Again, loved this episode.
