I am astonished at how awful this movie was..waste of everyone involved in it...other than interesting shots of tennis being played...it's really astonishingly awful. We also get LOTS of shots Zendaya watching tennis matches--looking quite concerned.... How could such a good director direct such an awful mess...The characters, Art and Patrick, are supposed to be bisexual..but other than one kiss--they are both fighting for the affection of Tashi--who is pretty..but incredibly vapid. Don't waste 2 hours of your life watching this mess...watching paint dry would be more worthwhile than watching this mess....

Elvis
(2022)
LONG and boring
29 July 2022
I thought it was awful.... Tom Hanks was spectacularly miscast & horrible. Really long and boring.... It was a psychidelic bio-pic...because I've never enjoyed Elvis' music...I might not be the right person to judge the film...but I thought it was really bad.
100 días con la Tata

heart-felt story of love
6 July 2022
No bombs..no lasers...no zombies..no vampires..just a true story of love between Miguel Angel and his 95 year-old great aunt...for whom he cares during the pandemic lockdown...sweet, loving and truly inspiring....it illuminates the hard work of those caring for the elderly.
The Counterfeiters
(2010 TV Movie)
not quite true to novel
13 June 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Adequate adaptation..but they left out the entire story line about the boys (Georges and his friends) passing around counterfeit coins..and nearly getting caught. Also--the casting struck me as quite odd..I see the characters of Olivier, Bernard, and Lady Griffifth should have been a few years older...Olivier and Bernard look to be barely 14 years old..and the story seems weirdly pervy...the actors should have been closer to 15-16-17 in order to appear less prone to pedophiles (like Edouard and the Count). The story of Boris' suicide also was quite truncated..and made little sense.

pleasant..but not great

Why re-make something that was so great?? It felt long...VERY long...didn't have the strength nor the energy of the original...Bernardo & Anita were good...Riff is a good dancer...but not much of an actor. Why re-do it if you're not going to improve on the original???

Best tv series I have EVER seen!!
29 May 2020
Almost too good to be true...I was crushed as the series ended. I've watched the entire series several times...and find new ideas to admire each time I see it. Probably the best series I have ever seen...the writing, the acting, the philosophy lessons--I recommend this series--truly the BEST of the BEST!!

Fantastic sequel to the greatest series of all time!
26 March 2020
Absolutely loved it...maybe not as much as the original series...but quite good. Focuses on Pol Rubio as he starts his university studies in philosophy. Most action involves the colleagues that Pol meets at the "Uni" (Mineva, Rai, Biel, Oti, Amy, Etienne...) and some of the story involves Bruno Bergeron. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
