Scales: Mermaids Are Real (2017)
Unforgivable
Terrible script, bad directing, things happening without explanation. I can forgive all these as just being a low budget family type of movie.
But. My girls and I did NOT see Siren's actions to the secondary antagonist at the end coming. That is far worse than just unethical, it is outright criminal. That is unforgivable and gives this the 1 rating.
The Flash: Fast Enough (2015)
Compelling and emotional marvel
Oh, how I wish I could give this episode a 15 out of 10! This was to my mind one of the most compelling finale's to a series that I have ever seen. I have been truly and increasingly astonished by the remarkable writing of the script of The Flash.
My wife and I were on the edge of our seats throughout the episode, but also throughout the series and especially in the latter half.
The one thing I would like to commend the writers on, is their ability to draw the viewer into the story emotionally. Credit has to go to Grant Gustin as well, because the writers can write in such a way all they want, but if the character's portrayal of their ideas doesn't cut it, all that effort would be for no cause whatsoever.
I was most definitely drawn into the series emotionally. I really felt every emotion with Barry / Grant.
This last episode had a fair deal of heart break and I will admit that I shed more than one tear throughout the episode. I was in utter anguish with Barry.
Emotion, however, is certainly not the only aspect that one would want as a viewer. The viewer wants to be drawn into the story as well.
THAT I WAS!!!! There were moments during the series in which I was absolutely flabbergasted for a moment (To think of one, Reverse Flash revealing his NOT DR Wells face outside of Barry's home when he realized he got stuck a few episodes ago, another one is an unexpected, but very important (how can I put it) "very loud sound" in this last episode). I was kept guessing throughout.
Supporting actors: Who didn't love Cisco Ramon???? He was just super amazing and his whole character was so awesomely written! His facial expressions and his portrayal of this super passionate scientist were just awesome. I loved everyone, but admittedly I hated Iris at times. Eddie Thawne. What can I say? WHAT CAN I SAY??? AND THAT CLIFFHANGER!!! Overall I would give the first season a 9.5 out of 10. I LOVED IT!!!! I LOVED IT!!!! I LOVED IT!!!! The last time both my wife and I got so enthralled in a series, was when we were watching the series MISSING, with Ashley Judd. Unfortunately that one got canceled after only one season with 10 episodes, and that on an awesome cliffhanger.
As a last thought, I have a question, though. Once the cliffhanger gets resolved: THEN WHAT, WRITERS????? How on earth are you going to manage to pull off the same suspense, emotion and fun in a second season????? How can this not become just an average superhero series going forwards?? I think the writers might have outdone themselves in Season 1, but if they can manage to recreate all these elements two seasons in a row, I might just start calling it one of the best series ever. I look forward to Northern Hemisphere Fall for Season 2.
Good luck and

for writing such an awesome season!!!!!!!!!! :)
Liar Liar (1997)
My favourite comedy of all time - very mild spoiler included
At this point in my life, I am not quite sure just how many times I have seen this particular movie. It is unbelievable that the movie is already 14 years old.
I would not describe myself as the greatest fan of Jim Carrey, but in my view, he managed to get a fantastic balance between the obvious slapstick crazy comedy and pathos. I really care for the characters despite laughing a lot.
I thought the director did a good job in allowing Jim some free reign and to use his talent as a vehicle.
I thought Maura Tierney did a good job as well and Jennifer Tilly was very funny.
The ironic thing is, I have not been able to prevent a little tear running down my cheek every time I see the scene at the end where he makes his promise to little Max.
MILD SPOILER
He did lie, though. When Gretha asks him whether it is fair that her friend had to pay the robber who got hurt by a knife in her house, because of lawyers like Fletcher, he said no (to her initial surprise), adding that he would have gotten him TEN. (LOL) When she turns around angrily saying GOOD BYE MISTER REEDE, he blubbers, but then says, "I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION!" That is an outright lie.
I love love love this movie and will probably watch it another 50 times in future!
