Shelley Young

Season 1 was watchable because of the comedic chemistry between Melissa McCarthy and Bobby Cannavale. The other characters were not interesting. Season 2 has no interesting characters, despite having some talented actors. I didn’t want to watch annoying characters taking drugs and acting even more annoying. This remake was a mistake.

Only Murders is fabulously funny, with major stars serving up razor sharp repartee. Martin Short, Steve Martin and Selena Gomez are the sizzling center of this series, which has a varying cast of actors with decades of experience behind them.

Serial movies seem to degrade in my opinion. Bridget Jones Diary is an example. Each serial film got worse. A Simple Favor was good entertainment, with a beautiful house and great fashion on Blake Lively. Another Simple Favor is lacking class, humor, and Lively’s fashion is something a drag queen would wear. These two stars have good chemistry but should avoid another simple movie rerun.

Eva Longoria is charming in this series. Since I don’t speak Spanish and have to read subtitles, watching this show was rather tiring. I was also turned off by the transexual daughter who was now a “lesbian.” Why not stay male if you like girls? This kind of stuff is so crazy making that I didn’t finish the series.

Excellent acting from Donald Sutherland and Hugh Grant. This series is interesting but sometimes seems contrived. For some reason Nicole Kidman wore a long wavy red wig that made her look like the gorgon. The waxy botoxed face seemed weird rather than youthful looking.

Jon Hamm is an excellent actor and deserves a better series. I don’t care for the plot line where a man has everything taken away from him by treacherous people and then becomes a thief. I do use the fast forward to get through the boring parts. As other reviewers have mentioned, episode 3 is a letdown. Still, I will continue to watch this because I am a fan of Mr. Hamm.

I am usually disappointed when I watch a movie from the ‘90s. This has a good cast, but is a space/horror film featuring lots of exploding people and eyeless ghouls. There is also lots of foul language. Spare yourself this experience.

I loved this series. It’s funny and has astute cultural commentaries. This is particularly about the super rich, and the way they go through life and how it affects the rest of humanity. The acting is great, and the series is filmed at luxury resorts. I am looking forward to season 3.

Vague and frankly annoying. The movie didn’t explain the “why” of so many scenes. It felt like a set up for hysterical behavior. I wish I’d avoided this movie.

There is a lot of violence in this series, but we know that was the reality of the times. In the aftermath of the Civil War, European immigrants make their way by wagon train to Oregon, where they can homestead free land. They imagine Oregon is paradise, away from the wars and oppressive aristocracy in their homeland. There have been many films about the hardships immigrants faced, but this story is unique in that its heroine is a young woman who leaves the restrictions of society in Tennessee and becomes free in this journey. She wears pants, herds cattle, falls in love and learns the Comanche language. The acting is excellent, and the cinematography is beautiful. Between 15,000 and 65,000 immigrants died along the Oregon Trail. This is a reminder of our nation’s development, before we were staring at our cellphones while sipping Starbucks coffee.
