The Beast Must Die (2021)
Acting 8/ Frances zero sympathy
I agree with Absolute Travesty's review and several others who felt like I do. Sick of WOKE. Such a great cast. So sad. I've had enough of rave reviews on Cush Jumbo. Last few series she's been in have not impressed me. I'm sorry to all you fans but I didn't feel any sympathy for her. It's devastating to lose a child. The traits she portrayed I think were really low. Sneaky, dishonest, stalking, pre meditation. Come on. If you'd lost a child you sure wouldn't have the energy. The acting by everyone is quite good so I have to give this good marks because it wouldn't be fair just because I didn't like Cush. Lol.
The Stalker's Apprentice (1998)
Pretty Poor
I've watched a lot of British series and movies. This
movie is really dull, without any likable characters. Peter Davison is Not funny as he continues to emulate the Last Detective character. He also comes across as stupid. The whole script is terrible.
Louisiane (1984)
Sorry Margo
Just a long boring story. I can't even credit the actors. Script was bad. Of course this is just my opinion. If you need to fall asleep.... it works
X Company (2015)
Outstanding! Bravo Canada
Absolutely fantastic series. I'll keep it brief. This is thrilling, we'll written, well acted. I love Canadian tv and this one soars to the top. You won't be disappointed. Read all the top marks and disregard the low ones. People are imbeciles to rate a program comparing it to historical facts. It's close enough to give one a feel of what it must've been like. Each and every character is superb It's so good. 10/10! Proud to be Canadian!
In the Shadow of the Moon (2019)
Entertaining !
I think this was pretty good! The actors were great and this had a good story and paced well throughout. Not a bad crime drama. Not great but better than expected. Yeah it's a bit cliched but the effort is there. I rated it high to get the score up. It's a good 6
The Murders (2019)
Sadly Disappointing
I was so looking forward to this new Canadian series!! Sadly I have to agree this is dull and boring. Police crime and Canada are like ... well what can one say ... they just go together. What has happened to shows like Cold Case and Rookie Blue and Da Vinci's 2 series that all ran multiple seasons? So sorry Murder you just don't measure up with plot or actors. The location, Vancouver is the only stand out with this show!
Unforgotten: Episode #3.1 (2018)
Unforgotten... Never!!
Great to have the series continue. Does not disappoint. Ticks all the boxes. Brilliant acting. 2 thumbs up
De 12 van Oldenheim (2017)
Too many forks in the road
I thought I was going to like this going into the second episode but I've come to the conclusion this is not making much sense. There's far too many disappearances, the investigation team is one detective and one cop. When offered more officers he turns it down. He's done nothing to build any suspense or intrigue. There's hardly any investigating going on. There's so many sub plots that I suspect are supposed to add suspicion but are not connected at all! There's not enough suspects and the story line now looks like it's going to be aliens that are to blame. The crop design, and the returned girl with the sign branded on her. Could be a mad scientist experimenting with drugs but we haven't seen him yet, only the drug dealer. I'm disappointed that I don't have any feelings for any of the characters. The mother of the girl who disappears is like a stone. She goes jogging the next day and goes to be with her lover! I could criticize this a lot more but I won't waste more time on this. I've only finished eps 6 and I feel like skipping the rest and just watching the last one. Guess that would imply this series is just not that gripping, or thought out very well. Too bad.
The Enemy Within: Pilot (2019)
Pretty Good Start !
The cast is strong. I love Jennifer Carpenter since her Dexter days. For tv this looks like a promising series. It's comparable to Blacklist with a female Hannibal. There are a couple of faults ... no way would they leave a tray of dental tools with a dangerous convict. It's a predictable plot but I think it's worth watching. As it is with new series it takes a few episodes to get a proper feel for the characters. As far as tv goes this one is well acted with seasoned actors and is captivating. I'd wait for a couple more episodes to air and then binge. Thumbs up for the enemy!
Caught (2018)
Wrong, Wrong, Wrong
What a disgrace!! Time period is wrong, music is wrong, clothing is well, wrong. The only reason I'm giving it a score of 2 is 1 for the cast and 1 because it's Canadian. Both of which are a total embarrassment. The story line isn't worth mentioning. So disappointing.
Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)
Bohemian Rhapsody is The Champion!
Absolutely fantastic!! The critics are so wrong. Remi Malek's performance is perfection. Read all the people's reviews who gave this movie a 10. It's a phenomenal journey of Freddie; his musical genius, his emotion is raw. Bow to Queen and their musical influence to my life, my children's and now my grandchildren. This movie is a classic. Best I've seen in years.
Tulip Fever (2017)
Splendid
A wonderful Sunday afternoon movie. A beautiful period love story. The acting is very good, enjoyable and the characters are delightful. No need to pick it apart historically. It's intention is for entertaining, not a lesson
Read all the lovely comments from the high ratings or just read my short opinion. 9/10 No spoilers.
Perfect romance movie to comfy up on the sofa with a cup of cocoa on a snowy day. Enjoy!
Unsane (2018)
Inane garbage
Soooo poor on every level. Totally unbelievable, terrible characters. If you like psychological thrillers this is deplorable. There's nothing to spoil for you. An insult to intelligence and to the mentally ill.
FBI (2018)
Hopeful
I love Missy and miss Rookie Blue so I'm crossing my fingers this will be a hit. A few more actors with some personality I love Jeremy Sisco. Let's see how it develops
The Sinner: Part IV (2018)
Ho Hum
This season is by far less interesting. I agree, the kid is icky Finding this season hard to grab me. Carrie Coon .. same character as she was in The Leftovers. This season has far less suspense, emotion and grit
