Kairos (2020)

Well I am hooked.

[10/10 · 2 November 2020]

I've watched the first 3 episodes and I am totally addicted. If it continues on this good it has the makings of being one of the best K-Dramas I've seen.

Good cast, well acted and an interesting storyline.

Update: Just watched episode 6 and am still addicted, twists and turns galore.

Roadkill (2020)

Why such low ratings?

[10/10 · 27 October 2020]

Sure this has everything we're used to in a BBC series. (Conservatives are bad, gay people make up about 40% of the population, etc.) But past the usual, this was a very entertaining series. Well worth watching.

Blood & Water (2020– )

Overhyped

[2/10 · 20 May 2020]

Flimsy story and mediocre acting. Couldn't finish second episode.

The Great (2020–2023)

Really?

[1/10 · 15 May 2020]

I cannot believe they actually spent money to make this drivel.

Tirdy Works (2020– )

Just when I thought American TV could stoop no lower.

[1/10 · 13 May 2020]

It did.

I watched about 10 minutes and left with the question: "How did they sell this to any sponsor?"

The Chronicle Mysteries: The Chronicle Mysteries: Recovered (2019) Season 1, Episode 1

Typical Hallmark Mystery

[7/10 · 25 February 2019]

This is a typical Hallmark production. Like easy listening music, staring out the window watching it snow, graham crackers and milk. Brown paper packages tied up with string - these are a few of my favorite things. . .

Nothing "edgy", no profound social relevance, not a political message in sight. No mutilated bodies, no characters bonking each other for no apparent reason and no unnecessary strings of profanity (Oh, did I already say it's not "edgy" ?).

It's a "lay on the sofa and watch on Saturday when there's nothing better to do" kind of movie.

It is what it is and I enjoyed it as such.

Lost Gold (2017– )

Should be called "Still Lost Gold"

[1/10 · 12 February 2019]

It's not the despair. I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand.

The Trump Prophecy (2018)

2 Timothy 4:3

[1/10 · 6 December 2018]

"For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."

Time Jumpers (2018)

Solid B- student film

[2/10 · 6 December 2018]

For a low budget student film, it's not half bad. OK, maybe a little more than half bad. If would be best to waste an hour and 15 minutes of your life on something else.

Papillon (I) (2017)

Read the book

[4/10 · 15 September 2018]

Read the book and you will realize that this move - and the 1973 one - both pale in comparison. You remember books. Those are the things that contain interesting stories that movie producers seek to destroy.

Star Trek: Discovery (2017–2024)

Star Trek for the 21th Century

[10/10 · 25 September 2017]

The only people who seem not to like this new Star Trek are people who feel they have to compare it to previous incarnations. Sure there's no Shatner or Nimoy, no Bones or Sulu or Scotty but there also are no 50 year old cheesy special effects, no thin plot lines and no ill fitting costumes. While I do like the old Star Trek, I doubt if I - or anyone else - would like a remake of the original series with different actors.

I very much enjoyed this for what it is - an pretty darn good Sci-fi show. Who cares if the technology does not fit the Star Trek "timeline"? Or if the Klingons look different? If that bothers you, just go watch the original 79 Star Trek episodes over and over again.

People, get over it! It's time to go where no man has gone before and stop living in the past.

The Case for Christ (2017)

It's better than I thought it would be

[8/10 · 20 August 2017]

Reading the reviews here before watching, I was pretty sure I would not like this movie. Well I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Most of the negative reviews are based not on the quality of the movie but based on the fact that those reviewers do not believe in God.

I myself doubt that God exists but to pan a movie simply for that reason makes no more sense than giving Star Wars one star because you do not believe in wookiees.
