There she is, back again, in her dishevelled avatar!! Very surprising that people in power don't know how to wield a brush or comb.....

This is not the Perry Mason I grew up reading. The scriptwriters have taken Gardner out of it, leaving mostly just the characters' names. They might as well have packaged it as a new and original story, what with woke characterisation and other changes. Not to mention the fact that the series drags on and on interminably.

Law and Order Seasons 21 to 24 have been great, so much so that it's really unfortunate that we don't have an opportunity to see the earlier seasons. The only character in the series who is a real misfit in the DA's office is ADA Samantha Maroun who is too emotional/sentimental/impulsive, and her temperament is better suited to being a defence lawyer, or better still a social worker.

Very entertaining, packed with humour. Loved the Doberman doggies. I haven't been able to watch the whole Tom Selleck version on TV. But the small videos I've watched seen rather dated, now that I've seen the latest version. Most of all, the fact that Higgy is a lovely lady now.

It is a highly entertaining show. Serious and funny at the same time. I haven't enjoyed a drama series so much in such a long time. Highly to be regretted that they cancelled it.

A highly watchable movie; a one-time watch, of course, and no more. A fairly time-tested tale of personal revenge corruption, dirty party politics, and the usual drug/armament mafia/syndicates.

Kaathal -- the Core was a 2023 movie. It was an excellent movie. But I thought that there was a certain resemblance in storyline to the Bernardine Evaristo novel Mr Loverman which was published in 2013 (about a closeted family man who wants to end his marriage and live with his best friend with whom he's been having an affair for 50 years). A TV series, based on this novel, with the same title was aired, in 2024. Were the makers of Kaathal aware of/influenced by Evaristo's novel?

In Season 5, Episode 3, Prodigal Son, Jubal Valentine's son Tyler is closely involved with his classmate, the 17 year old murderer Zach O'Connor, aids and abets the perp, obstructs the investigation despite his father pleading with him, goes to meet the people, gets taken as hostage, endangers his father's life and the FBI team coolly ignores Tyler's role in the whole situation. Whereas any other person in such circumstances would have been charged as an accessory after the fact. Nepotism at its worst.

After Malaikottai Vaaliban, which I couldn't watch beyond 20 minutes, Barroz is his next worst movie. Some of the co-actors can't act to save their lives; dialogue delivery by most of them is excruciating; the animation scenes were hopelessly mediocre; some of the sets are quite cheap-looking, especially da Gama's ship. Above all, why bring up a chapter in history yesterday has foul memories for Indians on the west coast.

Except for the utterly boring and long-drawnout last fight scene on the aircraft, the movie was tolerably good.
