Guitar Man (2020)
A superb documentary on a great guitarist
After reading some of the reviews here, I cam to the conclusion that the critics here probably didn't even watch the entire show before lashing out, denigrating positive reviewers as "fanboys".
A documentary should illustrate the life's work of the artist in question, should make you care about the person involved, and give you a distinct flavor of the artist. This has it all in spades.
Joe played with all the greatest blues and rock and rollers, and he was recognized and spotlighted early on because of his age and his talent. He was pretty raw as a beginner, but what new beginner isn't? I
Bonamassa is humble throughout the documentary, except for the moment he is on stage, then puts forth his talent professionally, without prejudice, but without mercy. He is deferential when playing with the master Clapton, and his attitude throughout the show is respectful towards the root of the blues, towards the greats who played before him.
Comparing Joe to any other guitarist is pointless, he has earned his spurs, is still playing and improving, and isn't wasting his talent. He stands among the best that are out there, or who have passed on.
The Mandalorian: Chapter 23: The Spies (2023)
Disappointing, like the entire season 3
I awaited season3 after the superb first two seasons, anticipating good fun and excitement, rare in TV anymore. What I found was a wave of disappointing writing, pacing, and character development.
I cast no aspersions on anyone else's review of season 3, if you enjoy it, carry on doing so, but to me this season has been so predictable, so boring, so easy to make fun of ( bathing in the waters? Seriously? That is just screaming to be made fun of).
The latest episode was perhaps the most predictable, with the inevitable traps, the repeated betrayals, honestly this show has lost its originality, and is riding on the success of the first two seasons.
I doubt I will finish the series. Disney, uggghh.
