Luther (2010)
Excellent if you stop after series 3.
Luther is very entertaining and the most important thing is the real chemistry between Luther and Alice. Only a few shows can create a secondary character so appealing that makes her presence compulsory to keep the show alive. That is why I recommend stop watching the show after series 3. Even the ending is so right that you can really believe is the perfect way to end the show.
The problem is that if you continue watching the show is all the way down. Series 4 lacks Alice and you can notice is not good. And when Alice is back in series 5 you could.believe everything was gonna be all right but you feel since episode 1 that is not working either. I am not talking about the shocking finale..the whole 5th series is a downbeat.
In many tv shows if you say, "avoid these seasons" there is always a lack of something because there are too many storylines open. But there are a few exception like this one (Picket fences is the other I can remember stopping after season 3 too, what a coincidence!) where you can say: Stop after series 3 and you will believe you have watched a wonderful show with a very good ending!
Series 1 to 3 I give a 9/10
Complete series I give a 7 because of the last 2 horrible series.
A Chorus Line (1985)
A very GOOD musical during the dark years of musicals
If you read most of the reviews here you can notice how negative they arfe, and even those that are nicer always have a slightly negative comment.
I know that most of the time comparison is not good and when you are talking about one of the greatest shows ever created, the screen version gets the worst part.
To be fair and if we forget about the original show the movies is very good.
The music, the dancing and the cast are totally believable. I know they cut some songs, others were modified (not for worst - Dance for me it 's brilliant) and others send a completely different message to viewers (What I did for Love).
We know that has happened before when a musical goes from stage to screen. but what we have to bear in mind is....is the final product a good movie? Yes, it is.
The only downbeat I notice in the movie is that I notice a few edits strange...for example when you can hear some lines from HELLO TWELVE and suddenly one of the boys starts singing a different song. it looks very abrupt in that moment.
To sum up A CHORUS LINE is a very good movie made in a decade when musical was not only dead but buried six feet under. So I was really impressed to see that in that decade this movie and Little shop of horrors were made and time just shows everybody that both movies deserved a better audience and better reviews.
Prevenge (2016)
extremely boring!!!
When I read reviews complaining about too much sex, profanity, racism, sexual explotation or any other reason (like a pregnant woman being a killer) I think how stupid people are. WHen you watch a movie you must forget your religion or sexual prejudices and JUST enjoy the movie.
I usually don´t have any kind of problem watching a movie. It must be something too obvious (and most of the time political propaganda to complain about it).
In this case I couldn´t finish the movie. The pace was so slow and the story so boring. It is so dificult to get the right pace in a movie. SOme of them can be really slow but you don´t care, the director knows how to make it work. IN this case, she doesn´t.
If you want to watch a good horror movie with a pregnat woman I recommend INSIDE (L'interiour). OK, it is gore but at least I had a good time and really gave me the creeps
