Great protagonists. Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin form a stunning team. I loved the wit, even the irreverence (the right amount) and the humor never ceases, even in the most dramatic moments. An homage to this life which is too short for pettiness and where kindness always prevail.

Halfway through season one and I'm utterly bored, feels like watching a Hallmark movie. I'm going to look for something else.

What a show, the best since Ricky Gervais' After Life. It's so refreshing, heartwarming, flawless, and the cast, lead by Jason Sudeikis, is of absolute brilliance. Can't get enough of it!

Jessica Rothe is excellent and steals the show. The plot is engaging. Not too terrifying, yet at time you find yourself nibbling at the cushion, and peeking over your shoulders. Only shortcoming for me was the killer reveal, which I won't reveal of course.

Happy Death Day!

Never liked Katherine Heigl, and still don't like her much, but this Tully character fits her like a glove. The drama in this show is an understatement, yet it works, as for the time jump it can be confusing in the beginning. I enjoyed the dialogues, kudos to the writers, mostly women I believe. Hopefully, Netflix will not leave us hanging!

I have to laugh sometimes at their clumsiness, like oh no, don't do that, don't go there, don't say anything, dummy! I hope it doesn't reflect the real Australian Navy! Apart from that, Sea Patrol is a highly entertaining show, casting is spot on, and the acting superb.

Funny, witty, romantic, dramatic, this movie is going in my fave list.

Ron Howard, Glenn Close, Amy Adams, you see these names on a poster and expect a breathtaking movie. Yet it is lacking. Too many clichés. The emotions seem forced on the actors, same for the dialogues. As they say, you can make a poor movie out of a great script, but you cannot make a great movie out of a poor script.

I watched this movie when I found out William Fichtner was in it, my oh my. I enjoyed every minutes of it. Yes it is trash, a bit gore, not my usual cup of tea, but it gave me a nice break from the trash shown on TV. All in all, not a bad movie.

There are quite a few hiccups, but if you can overlook that, the show is very enjoyable. Idris Elba carries this series all the way through and doesn't disappoint. Kudos to the rest of the crew!

If I want to see wicked idiotic and psychotic people, I turn on a certain news channel. I forced myself through the whole first season, hoping to find the character(s) I could root for, hoping to release a little sympathy, hoping for a cathartic moment. No emotion transpired, not even Viola Davis tears moved me. I just kept rolling my eyes. How disappointing. Nothing about the plot is credible. Every character is dumber that the other. It reminded me of a pupeteer show I saw years ago, where the puppets hit each other on the head for half hour. It's not even funny how trashy and pathetic this show is. I'm done. I certainly won't waste my time watching the remaining 75 episodes!

I have mixed feelings about this movie. On one hand I feel for those parents who lost their child to a college shooting, on the other hand, the emotions they deliver on the screen seem childish and egoistic. Then, after The Reveal, the whole plot dissolves into nothingness. The acting is good, but I'm not sure Crudup, whom I respect immensely, is really fit for the part. We don't get enough of Felicity Huffman. Anton Yelchin is perfect. Selena Gomez? Meh... All in all, in mho, a fairly good start for neo-director William H. Macy, who is yet to deliver his best work.

It's election time in Bolivia. The usual. Dirty laundry exposed, dirty tricks, dirty lies. The duo de Almeida/Bullock is an improbable one, yet explosive. You watch the wick burn, and as it reaches the dynamite stick.... A reverse Taming of the Shrew, or so she thinks, until she finds out he had her since the beginning. IMHO, some scenes could have been trimmed.

I was going to watch the first episode, you know, just to see. Ended up binge watching the whole season. Thank you Mr. Gervais.

Get the pop corn, kick off your shoes, you're in for a treat!

Historically this movie is worth watching. It could have been enhanced by cutting a few scenes shorter. Sometimes it drags on. Costner and Harrelson fit their role beautifuly. Maybe they lack energy but hey, they're supposed to be two retired Rangers! A shame we don't get to see more of Kathy Bates. Exceptional the scene of the return of B&C after they have been riddled with bullets. To what length people will go to get a piece of memorabilia! And wait for the end credits, please.

...so much is said in this film. A polished diamond in the desert. It's heartwarming, delicate, unexpected, funny. The Band is coming to town...oops, the wrong town, much the disappointment of its members! But when Dina takes matters into her own hands, the setback turns into an opportunity to experiment a simple and human relationship. Bravo to Eran Kolirin!
