The New Pope (2020)
Fantastic
Great show, great cinematography acting, script, direction, and very, very funny. Touches of Fellini and Bunuel together with fantastic camera shots reminiscent of some of the paintings in the papal palaces.
This Is Wonderland (2004)
Best Canadian TV Show?
Great show. Great cast and writing. Maybe the best Canadian TV series I have ever seen. My wife and I were devoted viewers, and many of our friends who were professional couples loved the show too, and none of us live in Toronto where the show was set. What was extremely odd and annoying about the way CBC presented it was that it didn't seem to stick to a set time for the show but seemed to vary it, sometimes from week to week. So if the show were dropped from its regular time for a special---invariably some awards we had no interest in seeing---the episode wouldn't just be postponed to the next week at the same time, but might be on a couple of days later and the only way you could find out when is if you just happened to see an ad for the rescheduled time and were glued to CBC TV all the time. Who thinks of these things at CBC?
The Monuments Men (2014)
Boring and stupid
One of the worst movies I've seen since Ishtar. The ability of the cast is not in doubt, but the screenplay is stupid and the actors lack intelligent direction.
The Indian Detective (2017)
Thoroughly enjoyable
My wife and I enjoyed this show tremendously. One of the better Canadian TV shows I've seen over the last 30 years and less overblown and righteous than standard Hollywood TV. I didn't know who Russell Peters was but my wife is a big fan and I understand why now. The rest of the case was also very good. I hope there are more shows.
