Where the Bears Are (2012)
Better than you would think
Friends advised me to watch the series, the murder mystery theme sort of peaked my interest. On a rainy weekend I binged watched it. The first episode is good but the series gets better and better with lots of laughs, but the great part of this series is the great chemistry of friendship and bonds that shines threw the camp and humor. This is worth the watch with more episodes hopefully to be made. There's a bit of everything , it's a fun series nothing heavy but light and entertaining They should continue with more episodes and adventures for these friends. Viewers love thse cast of great characters.
The Pope's Exorcist (2023)
Fantastic story
Based on the events of Father Gabrielle Amorth, the story was very well done. Russell Crowe, one of the finest actors is incredible in the role. If your looking for Hollywood horror gore this isn't the movie. This carries more suspense then horror gore but more focused on the story and great acting. The lines , script were given great detail and delivery. Nothing campy about this movie but well worth it. Now hopefully there were be sequels as fans of the movie would most likely want to know more about Father Amorth and the challenges he faced. As for the set designed, was perfect they put a lot of effort into this movie and it paid off.
Promising Young Woman (2020)
Good until the end
This was a interesting story. The cast was amazing, incredibly talented that really gets the viewers interested in the main character and those she come across , through the whole story of her plots and cool calm approach, she becomes the viewers hero. Everything flips towards the end of the movie and it wraps up rather final but just not what expected one of those after all that but poetic justice in the end. The ending could have been written better, all good until the trip. Worth watching definitely moves quickly it's a fast pace movie great lines. . Alfred Molina has a great scene and it's touching.
Three Pines (2022)
Very well done, not over done
One those great shows like Midsomer Murders.you can't stop watching, addictive for the binge watcher. The cast is greatly talented and the characters are just perfectly written. This is a great show and beautiful filmed and just keeps the viewers interested. The opening pilot was pulls you in, snow winter settings are always perfect settings for murder mysteries. This show has many talented actors that bring the characters to life in a sleepy town. I truly love this show it's about time Native Indian are recognized and respected. I hope the show will continue as long as Midsomer Murders has,. Good ideas bring good shows to life.
Fantasy Island (2021)
Great concept,death by studio politics
This has a great reboot. Roselyn Sanchez was absolutely brilliant and perfect for the series to continue, it was such a great tribute to the original. However studio political correctness nonsense killed this show, demographics female gnez and millianials,. Most of the story lines were female leads or all female story lines, cast was more focused toward woman, there was a lack of balance but the stories were very Hallmark vibe. It had a great opportunity but blame the studios for trying to to push every political stereotype it strangled the shows success. Every episode was focused on bland story lines. Roselyn Sanchez saved the show as the lead absolutely kept a sinking ship alive. It needed more suspense or and balance of characters. Some long time actors appeared as guest but not enough to really let the show take off. Studio was doing everything to be political accepted by viewers it just sank it.
The Legacy (1978)
The Legacy.a 70's a classic movie and star casting
The Legacy was based on a popular book back in 1978, it is a thriller horror movie with a celebrity cast of Sam Elliot, Katherine Ross and Roger Daltrey lead singer for the Who. Since this is film isn't pulling high special effects, 1978, its a good horror film, I am sure if it was remade today and followed the book it would be be right up there with the Ghost Story and The Shining . Basically, it's a pack made and its time to pay up, only one will succeed to carry on the legacy but who, watch the movie and see, Again, do not expect high special effects, This is a classic movie that falls in with Burnt Offerings with Karen Black, The Hearse, Ghost Story and the Changeling with George C Scott
Sam Elliott and Kathrine Ross are perfect together, chemistry and it is this film that they actually met and married shortly after
It is a good horror movie to add to your 70's horror movie collection
Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol (1962)
A true classic
In the 60's and 70's there were a burst of holiday specials, Rankin Bass, Warner Bros, Mr. Magoo stands the test of time as one of the beloved Christmas cartoons
the Christmas Carol is by far a staple to watch every season no matter what the age group, it is that nostalgic cartoons watched during the holidays with Toy's R Us commercials and Mc Donald's Christmas gift certificates in between
The music is catchy and the story in its simpler form sweet making this one of the holidays favorites.
A Christmas Carol (2019)
Dreadful, Insulting to the Charles Dickens
After seeing the promos for this adaptation of a Christmas Carol, I sat back and watched it, as it aired during family time, I recorded it and changed the channel. Not for smaller tots. A Christmas Carol does not need profanity nor brief nudity, It is by far the worse adaptation. Scrooged, Ebbie and A Diva's Christmas Carol are 200% better than this poor adaptation. The cast is talented, but the writers are clueless, neither the writers or the director read the original story written by Charles Dickens. Chopped the story and sensationalized on darker which if you want a dark version that is proper, watch A Christmas Carol with George C Scott. This adaption is a waste and insult to the classic
The Christmas Chronicles (2018)
Finally a Christmas movie to become a classic
There are a handful of Christmas movies that stand the test of time. Classics from Miracle on 34. To Rudolph. Charlie Brown Christmas. The Grinch The Santa Clause. Just to name a few that have become American favorites. This modern take of Santa Claus with brother and sister saving Christmas will become a Christmas favorite for everyone . Kurt Russell makes the perfect Santa Claus.
Virgin River (2019)
One of those shows that pulls you in
One of those shows that pulls you into all the characters. The scenery is breath taking with every episode. The great and talented cast pulls into the characters with out giving to much of the story lines away. It's binge worthy so ready for the next season
Tales of the City (2019)
Great reboot to the original
I wasn't sure how a reboot picking up where the story ended years ago but it starts off with a 90tj birthday and gets better. It is a grear balance of original cast sort of the big chill and the new generarions mixing and combining the stories. The show is addictive. As the viewera care for the characters. A great watch wherw anytjing can happen on Barbry Lane
Father Brown (2013)
Delightful campy clever relaxer
The cast of talented actors make this lighthearted show binge worthy, not to miss an episode the delightful characters are campy with clever witty lines. This is not a edge of your seat or high drama with special effects. IF your looking for a show to just rest upon, sink into with ease after a long day. Just a good light hearted show, while the story plots are not heavy, it is the lives of the main characters the viewer enjoys more and more.
This is a great show to escape the drama of a long work day, the dread of the daily news and noise of traffic Father Brown is one of the special shows with beloved characters and the trouble the come upon. Pure comfort food show for the heart and soul that will leave you with a warm smile after every episode
Crimson Peak (2015)
A Ghost Story not a Gore Story
If you expect Crimson Peak to be a gore fest or some ghetto trailer guts movie of Rob Zombie. Crimson Peak is not gore it is not slasher or guts exploding on the screen. It is a period piece dating into the 1800's a ghost story that is bound to be a classic. If you enjoyed the movie Peter Straub's Ghost Story and other ghost story movies such as The Lady in White you will enjoy this movie. It is a thriller with suspense. Since this is a period piece the main character typical of how women carried themselves in that era yes its a bit predictable towards the end but it is no surprise in any thriller as it wraps up. the special effects are creative and the story line captures the viewers interest as everything unravels. The sets in Crimson peak are beautiful with detail, along with beautiful costumes threw out the movie. If you like a classic ghost story that is a thriller then its worth seeing for during the Halloween season.
