NCIS: Sydney (2023– )
1/10
Definitely not the audience for the original NCIS TV Series!
20 November 2023
I am a big fan of the original NCIS that has run for 20 seasons. I was hoping for a hard hitting NCIS new series but this is not it! The 1st episode is very, very bad! Watched the 1st episode and had to shake my head as I was watching the 1st episode. It was that bad! The regular NCIS: Sydney characters are absolutely not believable as law enforcement personnel. This NCIS: Sydney is even more poorly written then NCIS: Hawaii. The dialog is ridiculous, laughable and silly. Where did they find theses screenwriters for this series? Very little to like about the characters here. Mostly all talk and not a lot of action only the aftermath of the action. I will watch the 2nd episode hoping a better episode since the 1st episode is a total disaster!

Update: Review on 2nd episode: Total trash! Lots of contrived plot and over acting presentation. Many technical gun tactics/gun play problems to. There is zero likable in the characters. The mixing of Sydney national police personnel and NCIS just not clicking for this viewer at all!

Just watched episode 3, and it the way NCIS Sydney is presented! To many sharp cuts with titles to explain their drone destination zooming. Also, the dialog is horribly scripted. Makes the actors look hollow and out of normal interaction. Actors are way out of shape too! You can tell by their running style and speed, and cannot not jump over a 2 foot wooded fence.

Expend4bles (2023)
9/10
It all action with a big mystery and more then any movie this year!
21 October 2023
It you like Expendables series, this is the best of the bunch. I do not know why the reviews are so low but I love this movie! Expendable 4 has Meg Fox as one of the Expendables members. She has not lost it! Beautiful and now black hair, looks very dangerous and hot! The Expendable 4 throws a two giant loopers at the beginning of the movie. You have to wonder what is going on and keeps you in the seat of your pant with continuous action, violence and suspense. There a new members add to the expendable team in Expendables 4. Adventures starts on the giant warbird and ends with a flying machine at the end of the movie.

I was force to watch the 1st episode of #MeeToo, Now What - The Reckoning!
27 August 2023
Okay, so women get sexually harassed in society. I get it. But based on the women appearing on this episode, I would never ask anyone of them our on a date, just saying. It sort unbelievable that anyone of them are even a 6. It you make a documentary, make it believable, with hot babes appearing in the documentary. The people shown are overweight, ugly, some over 50s and have an attitude.

It is most a complain session. That men are bad. Talks about sexual discrimination happening to woman from feminist authors, liberal news media woman and those who experience that. Tells how men forms of sexual oppression on women. They do not men to make advances on them. To use sexual factor as basics for advancement. They have feminist men as agreeing to the MeeToo movement. Dating is briefly discussed and they concluded that the woman has to be "very cautious".

Heart of Stone (I) (2023)
6/10
Female Roger Moore's 007 and high tech gage espionage!
27 August 2023
Gal Godat looks and acts like a female James Bond without the cute lines and expressions. She plays an MI6 agent but also work for an even more deep cover secret government organization. The movie has an action filled introduction like a Bond movie with pure action blue screen. It is completely unbelievable unless she is also Wonder Woman. The organization has central control center that can oversee Gal movements and guide her what to do next. Much of the plot scenes makes no sense. It seems that their is a counter secret organization that is equal to Gal organization too. And a female villain equal to Gal's. Double agent is in the MI6 too. It is a mixed up high tech spy action drama that is over the top ridiculous that you end up watching it while laughing at the plots wackiness. If you watch 007 movies, it's a copy of a scene by scene like Bond's Q, M figureheads and typical villains. Scenes have dramatic dialogue in them but it makes for even more ridiculousness.

This episode is missing on Prime U.S. and other U.S. Streaming Channels!
11 August 2023
I had trouble locating this episode 4 in the U. S. but found it on foreign Channel's VOD using my VIP.

I thought it was one of the best Mannix episodes. I will not do any spoiler for good episodes? The title of the episode is: The many Deaths Of Saint Christopher. It about:

"A group of businessmen approach Intertect claiming they want to offer a former colleague money for a new formula but Mannix is suspicious and works to find their true intentions."

From Rotten Tomatoes"

" Mannix woos a missing scientist's daughter, hoping to find him. Show More. Genres: Crime, Drama. Network: CBS. Air Date: Oct 7, 1967."

Stars: Linda Marsh, John Marley, David Hurst & the singer Neil Diamond!

Watch a couple of Season 1 and this Season 2 The Broken Circle
21 July 2023
Season One was more adventurous and action filled. This episode is more of a dialogue driven and is extremely boring. It reminds me of a daytime soap opera episode. Almost all the time is spend talking with associates, Klingons, aliens. Lots of bad acting in this episode too. Script is just plain bad. It reminds my of SNL parody segment. I watch this episode and laugh at it almost every 10 minutes. The wokeness has increase to that of Star Trek: Discovery episode. It is so sad to see this happen in Strange New World while Season 3 - Star Trek Picard gone back to traditional legacy type storyline, acting. If you like Discovery, you like this episode. Has zero action in it other then a ridiculous long drawn out fight scene. Doctor is now champion MMA pro? If you like talking and walking the entire episode, talking about about everything! It certainly is a strange new world that just has plenty of talking and no adventure, action in it! Characters are not legacy. It seems that the writers do not know anything about Star Trek legacy, change the characterized of each role. Strange New World is the same as Star Trek: Discovery in style and acting.

Joe Pickett (2021–2023)
1/10
Kind of an awkward show!
27 June 2023
I was exploring Paramount + new line and came upon Joe Pickett. Looked great 1st until confront the hunter and discover he is a major head case. Joe Pickett is a Game Warden and armed with an old 357 magnum chrome 6" revolver. Today, they should be armed at least a .45 pistol. He has a dog as his assistant and a best friend. He is married with 2 daughters and his wife is pregnant. Joe Pickett has mental problems too! Joe Pickett is on the low intelligence side, guess that is why he only a Game Warden.

The 1st episode comes across a little strange. It is about the rural country life. The interactions between the folks are very awkward, maybe the screenwriters never lived in rural country and/or tried to hard to add more spicy life to the plot. Way to much drama! Characters are bizarre. I did not find it appealing and will not be watching further episodes. Could not connect with the storyline or the protagonist. Was expecting a Longmire, a Justified or a Banshee but turned into something of an unwatchable show based on the 1st episode. Protagonist has no charisma either.

NCIS: Guilty Pleasure (2010)
Season 7, Episode 19
10/10
Dina Meyer is a former D.C. Madam!
23 March 2023
Dina Meyer plays Holly Snow a former Madam from an earlier NCIS episode.

Dina is dresses in elegant, luxurious wealthy wears and if you like middle age socialite hottie, you will love Holly in this episode. Nice episode script with dialogue that is very interesting in terms of human, business relationships. And the foundation of a friendship between a lady and a man is visually shown along with that of a man to man relationship. LOL!

You get to see Gibbs in action as well as Meyer.

If you like a suspenseful dramatic fun NCIS episode and am a fan of Dina's eye candy, this is a must see episode!

Professionals (2020–2022)
7/10
Interesting! Sort of Hart To Hart mixed with The A Team TV Series!
12 February 2023
Just watch 1st episode and so far I like it! It sort of clumsy multibillionaire business couple hiring a group of independent group of military mercenaries with special skills. It like a personal private CIA agency operation that is being run so far by the multibillionaire business couple. They go on a mission to find stuff and hunt for information. Use high tech gear for their investigation. Money to open doors. It an adventure, espionage, action, detective drama, comedy.

I chuckle at all the interaction between the team. I am in love the blonde lady mercenary. Will continue to watch this series because it is different.

The Good Fight (2017–2022)
1/10
Exploring the 6 season, 1st episode of The Good Fight!
4 December 2022
I was shock at the one sided politics that just bashes openly former President Trump in 2022! 50% of the voters voted for Trump and he is running again. The Good Fight is quite goofy maybe similar to Boston Legal but does not have the polish and acting of the former. What is the purpose of aliening half the potential viewership? Paramount Plus needs to look again at their screenwriters to be less political and focus at a more middle of the road writing since they are not a new show. The 1st episode was weird and cut in and out of scenes, characters, subject focus to bring in a messed up presentation.

Law & Order: LA (2010–2011)
9/10
I thought Law & Order: Los Angeles was pretty good!
10 November 2022
I just finished the 1st episode and it is fresh and intriguing! All new actors that I never seen before! It is Hollywood based not the gloomy NYC atmosphere. I like the Hollywood & LA plot too. It straight, no side subplot in the episode. All the law enforcement are dressed up proper and the guests are in design t-shirts, nice rides and lots of fashion dress. The court room is in light color wood like birch, oak and modern lighting, big windows.

In some way this is better then Law & Order, the original! It more understated like real detectives are. I look forward to the future season one episodes!

East New York (2022–2023)
2/10
The new Hill Street Blues in the making! Not!
4 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I like the characters but the location should be East Side New York City for me. Stories of the super rich is more to my liking. Not eastern section of the borough of Brooklyn. It more real especially in the upper ranks of the police department, where political influence is obeyed by those in high places! I only watched the 1st episode and a commander(Deputy Inspector)wanting to serve in the poor sections of the city is ridiculous in the 2022 era of NYC. There are way to many cop shows and movies showing the poor neighborhoods of Chicago, NYC already. The ranks above captain is a political influence/controlled by all the elected officials of the city, where the mayor is the head. The upper ranks in the police department are board line politicians to in many cases.

Update: After watching episodes 1-3, I lower my ratings from 8 to 6 because the writing makes the Deputy Inspector to righteous and the Deputy Mayor seems to be all over the place in terms of who he really represents - Public Housing Representative. I not that interest as earlier episode 1. Episode 2 & 3 was to far from reality for me!

Episode 2 was unrealistic. No new promoted to Deputy Inspector would tell a newspaper reporter dirty laundry to get the Police Commissioner in political trouble.

Episode 3 was not research correctly on Glock pistols. The modification parts does not look like that. It is very small part, not such a big part. The extended magazine was taped!

Episode 4 was just totally terrible! From Deputy Inspector mom holding the sign and wanting her to get married so she can have grand children to her taking control of hostage rescue negotiations! She is now portray as an outlier who is self righteous and pompous! I have lower my rating still again to 3!

I watched Episodes 5 & 6 now, it has deteriorate even more to be a woke tv series! LOL! Lower my rating now to 2 stars!

I heard CBS has cancel this show after season 1. If it was more realistic of what is happening in New York City, I think it would have gotten a second season, instead of a fairy tale type woke police political drama.

Vanderpump Rules (2013– )
5/10
I was expecting Tom Cruise to be one of the employees!
19 August 2022
No Tom Cruise here! I am guessing he made it big in Hollywood and does not need the money earned as a bartender or server at Sur! LOL! This reality show I think is casted and scripted. It all about killing time and watching restaurant workers interact with one another and their customers.

This show completely changed from season 1!
14 July 2022
Kind of puzzling why ABC decided to changed almost the entire cast for season 2. It like a completely new show and it for the bad too! Who thought this was good never understood the show!

Fortress (2021)
6/10
Not as bad as the critics say! Must be an action Bruce Willis fan to appreciate this movie!
26 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Big mistake in direction is the numerous times Kate could obtain guns but they pass on it and choose to be unarmed when being chased by heavy armed pursuers. Also, mistake is the villains are dress in all black in a green forest. Communication works for the villain side but not the good guys side! The U. S. military, CIA nor law enforcement has no rescue efforts, plans either. They are all alone in the U. S. with a brigadier general in charge! I guess the general is shunned from everyone? The security guards are carrying barebone AKs and handguns while the villians are armed M4 carbines, high tech sniper rifles that are spec out.

Star Trek: Brave New World is bizarre!
14 May 2022
I was hoping for a Star Trek with this new series would go back to the original Star Trek theme and storyline. No dice! This new series continues on the bizarre like Star Trek of that of Discovery and Picard. Captain Christopher Pike hairdo is bizarre with a 2" high top and side are trimmed. Storyline is crazy too! I will not spoil it. Most of the crew are woman! The cinematography is very good so is the 4K screen resolution. The dialogue is very mechanical and there is no feeling in the characters. Overall, it a very bad Star Trek series, equal to that of Discovery bad.

Rogue (2013–2017)
10/10
If you like the 1970s "Day Of The Condor" type movie storyline, you like Season 4 of The Rogue!
9 May 2022
It is a big 10 episode suspense thriller having inside corrupt law officers of SFPD, FBI, CIA as operative for a management consultant organization that are involve in major big crime activities. All the above organizations are hunting Ethan Kelly and Detective Clea Annou among others as one storyline. A second storyline is continuation of a rogue Chicago police detective Patrick Finnegan tracking down a female criminal Mia Rochland that killed his partner to San Francisco. Acting and writing is excellent!

Student Seduction (2003 TV Movie)
10/10
Elizabeth Berkley was very hot in it!
24 April 2022
I am a guy and watch the original Save By The Bell TV series. I thought even back them that Berkley was the hottest babe! Then she starred in Showgirls! A few years afterward, I got the extended version of Showgirls. She was just melting in it! Just recently, I found this movie and with the Showgirls movie in my memory, this made it very erotic!

Great action, cinematography but a downer Bond movie!
10 October 2021
It is a continuation of the past 2-3 previous Daniel Craig Bond movies, which I was sort of hoping for something new! The story turns to Madeline in this movie and I was quite disappointing at rehashing the old storyline again. The movie's ending totally upset me and will not go back to see this movie again like I did in all previous Bond movies. If you are a Bond fan, do not go to view this movie!

FBI International is a ridiculous show!
6 October 2021
I am watch my 1st show and the FBI agents are not armed but still are pursuing the armed criminals! Also, they have zero authority in the EU. They must depend on local law enforcement to made arrests, hall people in for interrogation, etc.... I been laughing during the telecast! Totally!

I really like this modern day Cageny and Lacey Cop drama!
10 August 2021
It is to bad that the liberal progressive SJWs tank this cop series! If you like Bad Boys and Cagney Lace, you will love this comedy-action drama. Features Jessica Alba as a detective!

Not what I expected but it was interesting.
9 August 2021
It sort of a flashback storyline. Natasha at the end took of for the skies. Scarlet Johansson was in tremendous shape and you could by her outfits that she had 5-6% body fat!

War of the Worlds (2019– )
1/10
Season 2 continues to getting worse by the episode then Season 1!
9 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Epix's War Of The World TV Series. Season 2 is turning to be worse then that of Season one. It is basically two street gangs having a fighting in their neighborhoods in France with U. S. close quarter SWAT assault weapons(Colt M4 Commando) mostly and a couple of scope out .308 sniper rifles. The aliens are using the same weapons as the survivalists. Both sides are in normal casual street clothing. Only difference between alien and humans is a quarter size tattoo black ink "target" sign on the hand. The Boston Scientific dogs are still very mechanical, slow and smallish. LOL! It is so bad in every way that you what to know if it has a chance to be better in the next episode! Season 2 continues with the dating, relationships theme as a subplot to the survival theme that is in Season One. Dialogue is 80% of the scenes with a lot of what if's, doubts, leaders question why they are the leaders, what we do nows, search for family members type based dialogue continues from Season One. ;) Action type battles are maybe 5-7% of the time in each episode in Season 2, it is increasing tremendously from that of Season One where only 1 out 4 episodes had any action in it at all.

Was surprise by how much I like this movie!
3 June 2021
First time seeing Sophie Nelisse, she was terrific as the star of this movie! Based on the 1978 book! It is heart touching movie that suppose to be a comedy but I find it more close to that of a drama. I give it 5 stars! Takes you back when you were a 12 year old.

Without Remorse (II) (2021)
1/10
Tom Clancy's With Remorse does not follow his book's storyline of that title.
5 May 2021
I was waiting patiently for this Amazon movie to be release since I love the book. The only thing that was in both was the title and John Kelly. The book was during the Vietnam War in the 1970s and this movie, present day. It has a woman Seal commanding the Seal Team. Vietnam era helicopter, the UH-1 "Iroquois" helicopter painted in gloss black was in one rescue operation. I think they went dirt cheap on this helicopter rental. Anyways, it is a completely different story. More of a B revenge movie with action. Not a Tom Clancy story. Story did not seem believable to me either.
