Presumed Innocent (2024)
very unlikeable characters
First off...I know its a dark drama but when the scenes are so dark you can barely tell what's going on then I think it's a bit overdone.
Second...the main character is so unlikeable and controlling that he just keeps digging his own grave with not just everyone around him but also with the jury. His ego alone is enough to want to convict him.
Third.... I think the wife and kids are pretty good actors and portraying a conflicted family that wants to love and support their husband/father even when he makes it hard for them.
I watched the original film years ago when it came out (and read the book) so i do wonder if there will be some twist at the end of this version to keep it "fresh and new".
Just Add Magic (2015)
Great show
I have 3 boys ages 9, 11, 13. A lot of the shows they like I'm not quite as impressed with. We stumbled upon this show a couple weeks ago and we have watched episodes as time and homework allow. As boys I wasn't sure they would like it but they wanted to give it a shot and we are all so glad for it. Even as boys they were immediately drawn into the storyline. They didn't care that the main characters were girls. The characters were interesting and kept my boys guessing and hypothesizing about intentions. The young girl actors were surprisingly good. So much better than what we find on Disney or Nick nowadays. I really hope to see them in more projects...and in more seasons of "Just Add Magic". The value of friendship and family is strong in each episode. And each episode had a moral or lesson but they didn't hit you over the head with it. They were situations that my kids could generally relate to.
We were disappointed when we watched the season finale. Not because of the show, but because it was the finale. We really hope the show comes back for another season! We need more magic!
