Mixology (2013)
Fun, interesting, lively, surprising human interaction
I am amazed at the extreme negative views expressed here about this excellent series.
So I'm adding my enthusiasm to help redress the balance.
I think the situation is a great scenario to enable short snippets of many different people interacting over a longer story arc. Each pairing and potential relationship carries it's own twisting plot and so keeps every scene interesting as part of a multi-plot development.
All the people are fun and interesting and I'd prefer meeting any of them in a bar to most of the cardboard cut-outs inhabiting prime-time comedy shows.
Unlike some others I like the English guy (as he at least has some manners) and I like the girl with the squeaky voice as she struggles with a sudden change of perception of the world and her life. Bruce is probably the least likable person - but he has built such an elaborate, fascinating set of rules and beliefs to prop himself up that it is wonderful to watch them break against reality. The 'this is a woman' speech he gave in episode 3 to Jessica's friend with all the back-handed compliments to Jessica was a (minor) television moment - and shows that the series has some good writers backing it up.
I find myself looking forward each week to seeing what will happen next.
I hope this series lasts and some other duds - e.g 'The Crazy Ones', 'Trophy Wife' - get more life and depth to their characters or just fade into the pastel background of their sets.
Iron Man 2 (2010)
all noise and no substance
This movie is nothing but drivel and loud bangs.
No plot, no characters, no development, no story. Nothing that makes a movie.
This is just embarrassing to watch for the sheer lack of any sign of imagination or story-telling.
A three year old kid playing with his transformer toys would provide more entertainment that this insult to the intelligence of any anthropomorphic animal.
Suitable only for imaginatively deceased.
