Very interesting and enjoyable
17 March 2024
This series is very interesting and enjoyable.

Good acting, good cinematography, interesting story about immigration problems world over and different attitudes about inclusion and not.

Twisted family relationships, always interesting to see in any culture.

Characters with depth, actors playing them very well.

Plot incidents a little weird and possibly not entirely logical or believable but that is not important!

This is fiction, more or less, intended as a short escape from the stress of real life.

In that function it does very well.

Hopefully, it will continue doing just that for many series to come.

Frozen (I) (2010)

A movie about stupid spoiled brats who are contenders for the Darwin Award
14 September 2023
This is a movie about stupid spoiled brats who are all contenders for the Darwin Award.

Half way through watching the movie, when I wished all the characters would be dead and end my misery of watching them, I decided to read as many of the one star reviews as I could.

Many of the reviews were Very entertaining, much more entertaining and interesting than the movie itself.

I don't think I will watch the second half. It is probably even worse than the first half.

I decided to watch this movie based and the six point something rating it had here.

That was a complete lie and sad since sometimes those rating are accurate and can guide one to either watch a decent movie or not.

Terrible waste of time and energy.

Was it simply actors needing work and therefore willing to participate in this trash? One does wonder.

Not even half way through it one was rooting for the death of all the characters to end the misery for the audience of watching this movie.

Screen Two: Persuasion (1995)

Truly the only version of Persuasion worth watching!
13 September 2023
This is truly the only version of Persuasion worth watching.

I have watched and re-watched it many times since it first came out.

It never fails to take up my full attention even though by this point I know at least some of the dialogue by heart.

There is always something new to notice in this version, some small detail that was not noticed before.

That is the sign of really good piece of art: something new to notice in each new time experiencing it.

I have also read and reread all the Austen books many times.

I consider Persuasion to be the best Austen novel and this version, 1995 with these actors, is definitely the best film version!

I have seen every version and the newest is a travesty and should be avoided.

Again, this is the only version of Persuasion worth watching.

Truly the worst movie of the franchise!
31 August 2023
This was truly the worst movie of the entire franchise.

The first movie had charm and wit and was entertaining on many levels. It was also well acted and heart felt.

The second and third was were mostly just physically there and not of hardly any worth at all. But if one really liked the first movie of the franchise when it came out and after viewing it many times since then, there was a certain impetus to view the remaining movies in the franchise.

Unfortunately it was a downhill slope with number two and number three getting worse and worse.

I am not sure that I can even finish watching number four, it is simply terrible!

Watch it at your own risk, but if you liked the first one and continued to like it many years later as many of us do, the following ones are just barely worth watching and the last is definitely NOT worth anything unless you are a completist and and need to watch all of the franchise. But be warned.

A truly terrible show. Do not waste your time with this one if you have any taste at all.
27 May 2023
This is a truly terrible show. Hardly funny at all. Really just pathetic. Just one step away from bathroom humor.

I really expected better of Australian comedy. Their drama shows tend to be very good and very worth watching.

This is NOT.

If I could give it a rating lower than 1 I would.

The main character is beyond sad and pathetic. No Woman should be portrayed in that manner in this day and age. It is simply NOT funny and very disrespectful.

It is possible to have humor about a Woman's life that is respectful.

This show does not even come close.

A true waste of time as an experience watching. And sad since so many Australian drama show are Very Good indeed.

Do not waste your time with this one if you have any taste at all.

Once again proving that there are no bad dogs, only bad owners
26 May 2023
This entire series proves that once again there are no bad dogs, only bad owners.

Were the owners chosen for their innate stupidity?

One wonders.

If what you want out of watching this series is to know for certain that humans are definitely the inferior species, then this is surely the series for you to be watching.

And if you need proof that many human parents are incapable of raising their own children to respect humans or any other species, then once again this series gives you all the proof you might ever need.

If what you want out of this series is to know something about many different breeds of dogs, then this is the series is also for you.

Another show that should be about the animals and is Not!
14 March 2023
This is yet another show that should be about the pet animals in it and is Not!

Yes, humans are animals too but so boring, stupid and predictable that this just one more show that does Not honor the other animals it is supposed to be about.

It just depends on stupid, tired formula "humor" that has been repeated endlessly.

This being a Canadian show there was some hope for it being on a somewhat higher level of caring about the animals and showing more about them while also having some possibly delicate and subtle humor about both the humans who care for them and the animals themselves.

This show is just the same endlessly repeated content, the usual dumb humor that supposes that all of the audience is also too dumb to notice.

So very tired of shows that have potential to be something good and special and are Not!

There is nothing wrong with the kid and his Cat except having stupid parents.
25 February 2023
There is nothing wrong with the kid and his Cat except having stupid parents.

If they would just leave him alone to be who he is, he would have been just fine.

Animals are important in the lives of children. They teach unconditional love and respect among other things.

Stupid parents tend to teach very little. Mostly they teach bad things if they teach anything at all.

The burden of having stupid parents lasts a lifetime and requires much work on the part of the child to turn it around. Why it is necessary to say in 600 words what can be said in less is an indication of someone having stupid parents and/or bosses that make such a requirement necessary. Original point more or less proven.
