Game of Thrones (2011)
Thank goodness we aren't all the same! (Make for dull world!)
I love how these very few reviewers?, snobs? contrarians?, all these folks want to impress, I guess, all the rest of us poor idiot, no taste, suckers, who happen to judge this might be the best T.V. Gig since Sopranos or The Wire maybe. How can all the millions be just so bloody misguided? Maybe those other guys are just having a bad year or 4. But, it's a wonder I can even feed myself, I just watched "The Door" for the third full time getting ready for #8. I can't believe I keep going back to S.1, E.1 and get hooked in again to look for some more clues. Ah well, I have fun explaining them to my 4-legged son. At least he stays entertained with me. (Or maybe he's got me fooled, too!) Shoot, with S.8 we gotta go back to the once a week torture. I'll try to stay busy. You guys that think my brain must be mush for likin' this stuff, don't worry too much about me. Been thinking of checking in on Walter and that puss Pinkman again.
P.S.- GoT truly is the best HBO, Showtime, etc series ever. (Even Curb Your Enthusiasm!)
Red Rose of Normandy (2011)
Fashion review, we'll start easy
Love the nurses' outfits! So authentic. I can understand and make exceptions for low budget movies but at least make them look earlier than 2005. Course, it's fun just trying to figure out just what kind of movie this is working on as it's doing so. ( Gestapo man at least returned her unsmoked but after using it to light his black market cigarette.) His interrogation skill could be taught at their Gestapo academy. Not a good film, my friends. Also, the range of the lead actor is miles wide. But, I like him!

The Keeping Room (2014)
A grade A number One movie!
There are movies for me that I've pretty much got to watch them by myself and really get into them. This is one of them. It held my interest and though there wasn't much dialog it said what it had to say. Very well done.
Sixteen (1972)
Not even redemption as a good "bad"movie.
Poor Mercedes McCambridge. She must have been starving to make this movie. I see some reviewers have "trashy"appearing to be one of a criticism that makes a movie bad for them. Trash is not necessarily bad. Terrible writing, acting, and directing make a movie bad. All three are here. I was watching as I was doing other stuff so I'm sure if I had sat down to watch a movie I would have left it. (Watched on Prime.) if ever a movie deserved a 1, this is it. If my momma was in it I would give the same rating.
Schitt$ Creek (2015)
This is just on Se.1, ep.1. If I'd have known it was Levy and O'Hara I would have looked at it sooner.
So far they are all doing their acting jobs perfectly. "Selfish, duplicitous wh-*re". (Talking about her daughter!) got a feeling this is my next binge watch.
Banished (2015)
They hooked me, set me up...
The writing got so lazy, untenable in ep. 6. The characters just did so many stupid, unreal behaviors, I guess to move things along. Freeman's actions. It was just pathetic. (I'm holding off posting this to hope upon hope to it's some kind of scheme.) it's the last Friday of my vacation and I was hoping for something good to watch. Elizabeth could have just told him the truth. Just watched the ending! If it is not true these are some of the worst script writers EVER!
Banshee (2013)
Do y'all not see the flaws?
So, I liked this from Ep.1. I was looking for something after Season 3 of Strike Back. And, I'm only in Ep.9, season 1. I'm still watching because it's got lots of hooks and it keeps me interested. (The sex IS good.) But for everyone calling this a 10, perfect show. Doesn't the gaps in logic and some of the so stupid decisions and actions the characters occasionally make BOTHER YOU!?! I know it's designed to keep us hooked but they seem to just get lazy in the writing. Hood just acts like he's got no brain at all sometimes. Ana/Carrie, too. I guess I just need to practice my acceptance and we'll see how it goes.
