This horror-sci-fi flick was brilliant, is brilliant and 38 years later is still brilliant!!

This is the film Tim Burton will be best remembered for. A Christmas classic. Bravo!

Best, most compelling series since The West Wing, only with a bigger budget!

What do you get when you develop a sci-fi series that features the Maestro Ridley Scott and his son who both direct 4 episodes- Rapturous production values and provocative characters and really interesting themes? You get one of the more compelling series around!

A wonderful production with a brilliant cast set in the period of the early 1800’s and featuring an incredible depiction of the Battle at Waterloo makes this a very engaging series indeed. I thought the casting a trifle off for the lead female protagonist as any production that doesn’t cast Claudia Jessie in the lead role is simply undervaluing the enchanting presence she has in film.

Rock ‘n roll archaeology spanning time, space and music revealing joy, heartbreak, car wrecks and Bobby Dylan, you can’t go wrong with this film.

The 1st episode was fantastic! Bateman gave a great performance. Unfortunately, every episode thereafter lost about 25% of Interest and so I’m down to 0% Interest. I am committed to watching this series to its conclusion because I guess I’m a glutton for punishment and like a car crash, I want to know to know how many bodies are left by the side of the road.

From scene 1, this slowly gripping period piece based in eastern Canada circa 1820’s compels binge viewing of the highest order. Less than half way through the series I wish I could slow down my viewing pace…but I just can’t!

This Danish film is yet again another embarrassment to the nation who created an entire city to house an entire industry that almost single handedly invented and then perfected what became known as the motion picture industry. And that’s because between the knuckleheads who now run this industry, and the reduced demand among a populace that reads at the 6th grade level upon graduating high school, judges films by their body count and ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound, we have ceded the moral high ground, let alone the inspirational high ground of a script that challenges what we thought we knew or sadly, what we even want to know. The Bombardment, a 2023 film about a little-known WW2 catastrophe of epic proportions, perhaps because it took place in a foreign city under Nazi occupation which itself was a disaster of unprecedented proportions, we learn about a RAF plot to fly a dangerous mission over water and then into the heart of a city to wipe-out a huge corporate building which houses the dreaded German SS. That’s all I want to reveal because I don’t want to give away too much here, only that the direction is flawless, the cast of all-foreign actors (kids and adults)is brilliant, the cinematography is outstanding and the script forces us to think (yeah!) and as hard as looked, I could not find any superhero flying to capture a falling meteorite, although Superman Returns was indeed a great movie!
