American Gods (2017)
Pure Excellence!
While this is an early statement I say. Metaphorical Beauty! This show really digs into the gritty side of American Culture that people ignore but is slowly catching up with us. Expressed in Cinematic expression that weaves old into new and done with Excellence.
The Characters are rich with expression and subtle natures which really brings out the mystery of the cast and hides everything while hiding nothing. This show has huge potential for exposing reality of who and what we are while entertaining.
The Blacklist: Redemption (2017)
Im Keen on the Black list Redemption
So far I enjoy the characters they are building. I find that today stories need to unfold and people always jump on the hate wagon to early to allow the story to be told. This series has action, suspense and interesting characters, the uncovering of Tom's story is very good.
I feel the key is how they weave it into the Blacklist to give this world a sense of cohesion with the BL universe. It will be nice to see Liz and Red join the fray. I am enjoying it thus far 3 episodes in and look forward to seeing what is next. I find good stories are not in if the story has similarities to other stories but the nuances of how the story is told and the feelings we get toward the characters who are setting the pace.
I have always thought Tom was a bad ass and loved Famke she is top notch and nice on the eyes. Again the key is in how they cross over the two shows and I sure hope people give this show a chance to develop as i feel every spin off needs time to stretch its legs. Until later I think this is a great watch.
Man Down (2015)
The Reality of What we are fighting for.
This movie should earn, Shia an academy award in my mind. Forget the political agenda people want to read into this movie, but this movie captures the pain of loss, war,love, betrayal, family and self. It reaches something so deep the plight every soldier faces and the war that rages on in each of us. The shock and awe of our mistakes and the moments in life that change everything like a sudden turn on the road of life we travel. Shia carries the role so well you can feel his pain, I have not encountered such a tear jerker for the human plight since Seven Pounds.
The story even reaches out past the life of a soldier to the war that we face in our daily lives the trials and tribulations and the sentiments that keep us going even when we are at our lowest. The truth that in life and death the people we love are all that really matter. That the people who are supposed to be our keepers keep bringing the very pain we wish to escape.
The biggest betrayal is by the people who send so many to die and be killed for no good what so ever but to fill an agenda that this movie exposes so well. Many will miss the true empathetic depth this movie truly brings Bravo to everyone involved.
