Am I getting twisted?
6 January 2019
Now I'm starting to crush on Erik and he's suppose to be one of the bad brothers, but he has more heart and dignity than Aethelflaed's extra creepy awful husband. I can't wait to see him go down and I hope she gets to do it. Seems the kings's and the monks except Beocca who I have a major crush on are all so awful I anticipate their demise. Guess I'm really into this series and I'm a 67 year old grandma.

War Horse (2011)
1/10
Not what I hoped for
6 May 2012
Warning: Spoilers
The ending had to be the cheesy thing since Gone With the Wind.. And they managed to kill every one I liked.. the black horse and the kids from the German army..and they missed what happened to people.. What happened to the grandfather's granddaughter and how did the horse get healed when they were going to shoot it?? and the kid is blind and then not??? Not to mention I couldn't understand half of the dialogue What a surprise it didn't get an Academy Award. Parents took children to see this?? Rent the Natural or Field of Dreams. I went flippy when the British charged in with just swords.. hello the Germans had guns amazing we won the war..anyway. I really wanted to see this and it was a HUGE let down....Watch at your own risk with tissues or avoid it. I suggest the latter

Chase (2010–2011)
1/10
Duller than watching paint dry
21 September 2010
Big waste of time. No heart, soul, or any entertainment value I could find. Kelli Giddish was so plastic they should replace her with a Barbie Doll. With a new leading lady it might have a shot but I deleted it from my TIVO during the first commercial. I suppose my biggest disappointment was I found the criminal making his guest appearance the most interesting character. I could not have cared less about the rest of the cast. The lead character Annie Frost left me cold. She runs, she jumps, she stares, but when she's called upon to speak it made me cringe. Her interaction with children was just painful to watch. I would expect this in a B or C rated movie but there are so many great characters on TV these days that I love or love to hate or at least like that I'm surprised they gave her the lead to a show that seemed to have some potential. Ms. Giddish might be fine in another format, maybe a Doctor that has few lines but I felt she brought this one to a stop on a dime halt.

The Unquiet (2008 TV Movie)
5/10
Not as bad as the low score implies
29 January 2008
I didn't think this little spooky film was that bad. Pretty silly I admit for 2008 and definitely had that low budget look and feel. The scrip sort of wondered off track inserting a couple on the verge of divorce finding each other and the ending was rather trite. It reminded me of some of the horror movies I watched in black and white as a kid. I thought the acting was plausible in the leading roles. Julia Anderson was quite funny as the drama queen physic. Considering the lines she had to deliver I thought she did a very likable campy job of it. It's not something I'd recommend but with the writers strike and the level of nightly television with all the reality shows I found it rather entertaining in a light hearted very predictable sort of old fashion ghost story way.

The Favorite (1989)
2/10
Great story, poor acting and script
29 January 2008
Fascinating story but except for F.Murray Abraham this movie had some of the worst acting I have ever seen. I have seen children in school plays put on more believable performances than Amber O'Shea and James Michael Gregary. With the lacking script and C movie performance (I thought at first it might be a porno film) it took me 3 days to watch. I was so intrigued with the story line I wanted to see the ending but again because of the scrip and acting I could only watch it in small doses. I'm hoping someone will take this wonderful tale and make a real "movie" about it. Probably watchable if you have allot of paperwork or crafts or something to take your mind off the performers and their flat delivery of poor lines.
