Van der Valk (2020)
Amsterdam where?
I lived there for 10 years. I have never see it so clean, free of fietsen, or obviously 100% English accents. Great exteriors shots, but definitely Twight Zoneish. Amsterdam teleported????
Rock Legends (2013)
Never miss an episode
A series still running after 12 years says it all. It reminded me of the music critic Lester Bangs as "Rolling Stone" foretold the beginnings of music journalism. This documentary series uses a stable of credentialed music critics and fills the void of print media on the retrospective subject matter. The thirty minute runtimes are just enough to
for for digital attention spans. A viewer walks away wiser and music is the air of shared human experiences. 10 Star Rating.
Before You Know It (2019)
Gravity and this film both Suck
Horrible characters that were like nails on a chalkboard. After watching thousands of films, I could not get to the end. I had to shut it off, as there were no redeeming qualities.
The Widow (2019)
Cruising Through the Usual
A widow thinking her husband is still alive? Seen that, watched that, only what seems a billion times. Now stick in a proverty-riddled, violent setting and make it harder to watch. Throw in some plot twists...oh, there aren't any, and razor wit dialogue, oops that's missing, and I can't make it to episode 2. I just don't care what happens to her or her husband. Losing the audience is the failure of the the writers. The graphic artists for the title design were worthy of honorable mention.
Camping (2018)
I Was Worried About My Sanity. Whew.
"Camping" was so bad, that I had to double-check the reviews. I was just coming off watching "The Spy Who Dumped Me", and entertainment can distort one's perception: Is it just me?
Jennifer Gardner seems like a reasonable person, but I don't know her. How can a sane person read this script and take the job? This goes for any body in the cast, not just Jen.
My point is that projects that should be in the circular file, are being green-lighted. Shall I donate the money to feeding the homeless or waste a bunch of money on a project that makes no sense?
Send them packing.
