I didn't get to watch Hunter when it first aired because it went up against Dallas, which was my favorite show at the time. But later, I saw a few episodes in seasons 5 and 6 and really enjoyed it. Fred Dryer as the lead character of Sergeant/Lt. Rick Hunter was very believable as the hardnosed, rule bending cop who always got his man, mostly by a one or two shot gun blast. His gun sounded like a cannon every week. Now that streaming services are plentiful, I saw all seasons from the very beginning and I enjoyed it! It was exciting to see the car chases, blowups, action, etc. I didn't like the character of Sergeant Dee Dee McCall portrayed by Stepfanie Kramer at first because she was so unrealistic. Her small frame, globs of makeup, wearing flashy clothed. running after bad guys in high heels and always carrying a purse that obviously looked like there was nothing in it, was just too far fetched. But as the show changed, I loved them together. The chemistry, banter, jokes and sexual tension between them was great!

Later on as the seasons continued, it lost something. The stories were good, but predictable. They got away from the things that made this show great...more drama, less action. I always thought it was a Dirty Harry tipoff, but the show held its own. Unfortunately, I lost interest in it as a cop show and only looked forward to the scenes with the leading co-stars! Loved it when they finally showed them kiss in the episode Unfinished Business in season 6!

All in all, the show is good for entertainment purposes even now. I watch it often, except season 7. I didn't bother to watch..It was dismal without Hunter's sidekick, McCall. Fred Dryer and Stepfanie Kramer were great together as my favorite cop team on tv!

This was a much better installment of Blade than the 2nd. I didn't care for that one because it was too gory and bloody.

I liked Blade Trinity because it had great special effects and martial art scenes. It had lots of action that kept the moving going. I would have liked to see more of Whistler but the addition of his daughter was very creative. She too had lots of martial art skills that was a bonus to this film. The script was a little lame but everything else about it is definitely well worth seeing.

There may be another installment with the way it ended. I hope it is. I would love to see it too. Wesley Snipes made Blade Trinity for what it is, a good movie.

It's hard to top an original which this sequel fails to do also. This film had nothing to do with the original Pitch Black which could've been better, but was good. It's about a one man army going up against thousands of war lords. YEAH RIGHT!!! Frankly, it would've been more interesting to see them stay on that same planet trying to outwit the creatures than to care about this futuristic, computerized yarn! The fighting scenes were good but the ending was lame and weak. The acting was mediocre and they tried too hard to pump up Vin Diesel. The script should've been better for a movie that was predictable from beginning to end. Too bad this was a multi-million $$$ project and then turn out to be a flop at the box office. A waste of time.

Ray, in my opinion, is one of the best biographical films ever made. It was inspirational, educational and uplifting. Even though it didn't give full details about his childhood, mother or father, the film was well made and it moved along quite well. You don't realize that it's more than two hours because you're so captivated by each scene that you don't want to miss any of it. Some scenes were sad but it still was invigorating. Jamie Foxx is spectacular in his portrayal of Ray Charles as well as the supporting actor by CJ Sanders as the young Ray Robinson. Jamie is becoming an outstanding dramatic actor who has many talents. He definitely deserves an Oscar or at least a nomination for this role.

I didn't realize how much Ray went through as a talented, young Black musician back in the 60's when racism was in full effect. That still didn't stop him from keeping his promise to his mother. He most certainly became a success amidst fighting his own demons with his drug addiction and womanizing. But his mother still would've been proud. She needed to be strong during those difficult years since his father was not there. Her strength and confidence was reflected in Ray so much so that he was able to make it on his own and not become too dependent on anyone or be 'just a cripple'. More mention of her at the end, or during his stay at the blind school, and especially when he did become well known would've added more depth to this film. Leaving vital information out such as this left you hanging and a little disappointed.

All in all it's a must see and truly enjoyable to watch!
