The Next Three Days (2010)
Do not believe the overwhelmingly good reviews
Phoned in script and main performance. Save yourself the hype and try one of Haggis or Crowe's array of fine other films. This though? Save yourself 2 hours. Don't believe the average reviews, as this should be among IMDB's lowest ranked movies.
Fighting with My Family (2019)
If you have a dream, talent & conviction then watch this
It's the perfectly depected hero story. Simple, but drenched with truth and humour. If you need to give yourself a kick, then watch this film instead.
A great, entertaining story laden with harsh, necessary, but ultimately uplifting truths. Above all mind set, conviction and daring are what are needed to be aqquired before anyone can rise. So aqquired them, and rise, like Paige did.
Bravo, Mr Merchant. Bravo!
Meet Joe Black (1998)
Ever wish you could watch a film like no other?
This is one is it. Enchanting, mysterious, somewhat enlightening at times. Amusing, intriguing and genuinely like no other film I have ever seen, and I own well over 500 blurays and dvds. Give it a go, you won't regret it. Like American Beauty it makes you look closer, much closer, but apart from that solitary similarity - this is a film apart.
Teachers (2001)
Season one the perfect season, then tails off wildly
Season one: 10/10 genuinely the perfect show executed perfectly.
Season 2: 8/10 Still very strong overall. But, the fact is once there is a protagonist you can't just alter the dynamic so radically. Sure in season 1 it had strong ensemble elements, but things needed to keep on that path. Simon then Susan as the second lead should've stayed the primary focus. A genuine wasted opportunity as Simon Casey, what a character. You can really see the making of Andrew Lincoln in this role. And it's a real shame that (I suspect, anyway) that the producers gave up on his character. Once the focus stops being on Simon (as he leaves at the end of season 2) the quality begins nose diving, rapidly.
Season 3. Average. Simon's brief return causes the show to soar once more, albeit very briefly. But his reappearance only underlines that two of the other leads (Jenny and Susan) just disappeared at the end of season 2 without any explanation, or without *any* of the other characters seeming to notice or even mention it. Season 3 is just average over all.
Season 4: Jumping the shark is all that needs to be said. Still enough charming characters that you've long liked, but a real mess.
