Moonlight (2007–2008)

Sorry to see this show go.

[10/10 · 20 May 2008]

This show had an odd premise, but was quite a bit of fun to watch. The plots were a little thin, but the love triangle running through the show made it interesting. The triangle is Mick, Beth and the problem of Mick's being a vampire.

I predict that you will see a lot more of Alex O'Louglin. This is the most interesting man to hit any screen in a long time. The camera loves him.

He has just the right amount of sex appeal and sympathetic demeanor.

I am really sorry to see the show go. I think it should be given another chance. It is more fun to watch than a lot of shows that are clones of each other namely the numerous Laws and Orders and CSIs.

The Pawnbroker (1964)

This move has been under rated for years.

This movie should be included in those lists of the 100 best movies ever made. It belongs right along with Schindler's List in its portrayal of the Holocaust. Rod Steiger makes you feel the pain of his loss and the guilt of being a survivor.

The time is the 60's and not only is the movie a stark portrayal of the Holocaust, it also is a stark portrayal of the ghettos of the US 1960s. Rod Steiger is not a likable character until you learn of his history. He has felt so much pain in his life that he has lost his ability to feel, and you see him badly treating his fellow human beings. Rod Steiger has so immersed himself in the character, that he loses his own identity in this film.
