Acapulco (2021– )

Didn't last one episode.

[1/10 · 10 October 2021]

Just bad. From the initial dialogue with the kid's overacting to the Chad cliche.

Just not good.

Star Trek: Lower Decks (2020–2024)

Can't believe I found a cartoon character irritating!!!

[3/10 · 24 January 2021]

I love cartoons and a big Star Trek fan. But oh my days! The screeching of the Mariner character is beyond irritating. After a few episodes I just quit! Funny premise though.

7 Days in Entebbe (2018)

The movke is alright. The dance scene is idiotic and breaks the sequence of events.

[5/10 · 15 September 2020]

Not a bad movie. But the interpretive dance completely ruins what should be the most relevant part of the film.

Away (2020)

That was not what I expected... (Try "For all Mankind" on AppleTv+)

[3/10 · 5 September 2020]

Bad script. Predictable. And slow.... So slow! Cliche after cliche makes the worst prepared NASA mission a snooze fest.

The 3 stars are for the actors who make this series just bearable. But definitely not a series I would recommend...

The Good Fight (2017–2022)

How were they able to destroy a series with so much potential?

[5/10 · 2 May 2020]

In the wake of The Good Wife, this series position to be another good legal drama. Especially with Christine Baranski as the classy Dianne Lockhart. However, the writers and producers progressively transformed this series into a semi-clownish drama, with cartoonish cutoffs and an overly political approach.

When you binge watch a series, it becomes easier to notice the changes in style and how the series progressively decays in quality and interest.

Its actually quite sad.

Salvation (2017–2018)

When you actually pray for the asteroid to hit Earth!

[1/10 · 13 October 2018]

Salvation is so bad that if there was an award for the worst series, it would still lose... The idea is not bad. But the way its done is cheesy, it's badly written and the acting it's just.... sad. How the heck did they find investors for this?

Extinction (2018)

From a slow start to I want more.

[6/10 · 5 August 2018]

To be honest I fell asleep during the first half an hour. On my second attempt I was able to pass that slow slow part to reach the twist in the plot. That made things much more interesting, which suddenly made me start rooting for the bad guys. At the end I wanted more, things got interesting and most likely we will see more of it in the future. It would be cool to see this from the other side "of the barricade".

Just as a note. Yes! The children made me pray for a stray bullet... Annoying characters. The children actors are not to blame but the characters... OMG! come on invaders, pull the trigger already!

The Mission (1986)

Life Changing

[24 June 2013]

This movie changed my life. One day I would like to thank Jeremy Irons!

After seeing his portrayal of Father Gabriel, I decided that I wanted to be like him. I wanted to have his faith, to be capable of loving like he did in the movie.

This film made me become a missionary. I went on to work, as missionary, in Italy, Mexico, Guatemala, Morocco, Malawi, and my home country Portugal.

I don't want to tell the things I did, but I just want to recognize, that a good film can change a life and change so many others.

Great Film. Thank you Jeremy Irons, I still want to be as Father Gabriel, after all this years.
