IMDb Originals: In Memoriam 2023 (2023) Season 6, Episode 71

Many Actors from Soaps missing

[5/10 · 29 December 2023]

I hate that actors are put in a box by calling them daytime actors. They're actors and deserve to be remembered.

Michael Levin Ben Masters Charles Kimrough Lisa Loring Cody Longo Elizabeth Hubbard Jacklyn Zeman Brett Hadley Billy Miller Tyler Christopher Kamar de los Reyes

There's more but these are the ones that have worked outside daytime and have nominations for their craft.

I don't think I even saw Norman Lear.

There were people who worked as crew members that have also past away this year and I don't believe any of them were in this.

It's been a hard year in Entertainment, losing a lot of greats at a young age and a lot to cancer.

Destruction Los Angeles (2017)

Good disaster movie

[8/10 · 5 August 2022]

I really liked this movie. I'm not related to anyone that worked on it. I love Cynthia Watros and Roger Howarth. I think some people were digging at the acting just because they probably didn't know the actors. I'm from a generation that doesn't need special effects and A list actors to enjoy a disaster movie, cause the whole point of storytelling through motion picture is to tell a story with imagery that reflects life. The thing I like about disaster movies are the human element. The strangers that unite because we're all human. This movie had a story about humanity's will and big heart when it comes to survival.

Chicago P.D.: New Guard (2022) Season 9, Episode 18

Awesome throw back

[10/10 · 21 April 2022]

I really liked this episode. It had some subtle throw backs to the beginning. Halstead is training a hot shot out of the academy like Al did for Ruzek. They give Torres a family restaurant that has to pay protection money like Molly's did when Jay entered the Chicago One family. Of coarse there's the brass with the question, is he dirty? Lots of story, lots of interest and great acting all around.

Fear Street: Part One - 1994 (2021)

Total let down

[4/10 · 3 July 2021]

I was waiting for this to come out and was not worth the wait. I don't know about America in the 90s except for what was on TV but in Canada and TV people didn't talk like that - not even in horror movies.

I never read the books but I'm pretty sure that wasn't R. L. Stine. I get sexuality in horror movies but it usually comes before or after the murders not in the midst of being hunted down by a demonic zombie. And what's with all the talking? Evil has arrived but please tell me how you feel? That's some real bull from 2000s not the 90s.

Manifest: Pilot (2018) Season 1, Episode 1

Great Show, don't ever watch

[8/10 · 24 June 2021]

This show had great sci-fi adventure potential. Ppl complain about the acting but I thought the actors did a great job. Season 2 takes a weird turn. Michaela is supposed to be the lead character yet the focus shifts to Ben. The love story isn't fleshed out, seems rushed.

The suspense is terrific but like most shows on Network TV it got cancelled leaving viewers with no answers.

Throughout the show you're constantly asking questions and it keeps you guessing but you never get any answers. Season 3 ends with a big mystery that deserves a 4th season but no one is doing it 😢so don't even bother starting the show.
