24 (2001)
Creative, yes; intelligent, no; unbelievable, absolutely...
I just finished watching the first season on DVD and while the production and acting are first rate, the storyline is total fantasy, and by fantasy I mean unbelievable.
I could list numerous examples but this would constitute a spoiler for anyone who has not seen it.
Probably the most interesting part of the first season is the changing relationship between Senator Palmer and his wife...now THAT is believable.
Everyone says "24" is as addictive as crack...I could take it or leave it.
This Is My Father (1998)
I enjoyed it!
James Caan is always good to watch. Plus there were many faces you don't see in Hollywood, which is a big plus for me.
I particularly find foreign films refreshing, and while this may have had Canadian production, the Irish backdrop provides a glimpse into a less complicated time with far more interesting people.
There is a revealing and delightful conversation between the young nephew and two local Irish girls.
The modern story did not detract from the movie, in fact I found it interesting also.
Aidan Quinn has put on some weight and does a fabulous job here...I was not a big fan before. Apparently his family produced this film.
It is definitely worth a watch for the locale and a believable love story.
The only down side was the fate of one of the characters.
