Craith (2018)
Another Ed Talfan Show, he did Hinterland!
Another Ed Talfan Show, he did Hinterland with Ed Thomas. Not even 10 minutes into episode 1, I've already seen 3 smaller part actors from Hinterland. The main star of this had a small part as a hotel/bar owner. Where Tom from Hinterland stayed after his house was burnt to the ground. I certainly wont stop watching Scandi police dramas but will be on the look out for more Welsh ones for sure :) I Loved, Loved, Loved Hinterland and was sad it ended!
Unbreakable (2000)
Short & Sweet Review
My review of this movie will be short but sweet. Though many things about this movie are different? It runs along a similar theme of Peter Weirs, Fearless ( 1993 ) starring Jeff Bridges. Bridges is one of a few who survive a horrible plane crash. And he starts to think he is indestructible. I don't want to give too much of that movie away either. In case you've never seen it before. But it is one of my favorite films of all time ( I love many of Peter Weirs films ) And of Jeff Bridges as well. And I love the style of M Night Shyamalan's films as well. There was no character like the one Samuel L Jackson plays, in Fearless .
Touching Evil (2004)
No Season 2 for a reason
There was no 2nd season of this American version of this show. Because they only made that many episodes of the original UK series. Series in most other countries don't go on and on for years ( a few do but ) Nor do they have 20+ episodes per season like American shows either. They simply cant afford it. Like in Sweden, another place I love watching TV shows from? Sometimes you only get 6 or 8 episodes a season. Then have to wait another YEAR for them to film a season 2 ( or 3 ) Sweden only as 9 Million people ( NJ has 9 million people ) and most of the shows their are paid thru GOV grants or what ever they might call it. They don't have giant sized production companies like we do here in America. But like many others have said about this American version of this UK show? It was different then the original, which is why I liked it almost as much as the original version. The American version of the Swedish/Danish version of the Killing was another show I liked both versions of. BUT the American version of The Bridge was TERRIBLE compared to the original. The actress who played the lead in the original series was head and shoulders above the one in the American version. I couldn't even watch the American one after the first episode. It was just that poor IMO!
Longtime Companion (1989)
I still cry
I still cry, every time I watch this movie. How cant you? Both for the subject matter, the lost loved ones and of course. The fact that to this day, gays are still hated & feared.
The Men Who Built America: Frontiersmen (2018)
Just like it's predecessor.
Just like it's predecessor.. Meaning they only talk about the good parts of these men and what they did. And completely leave out the even worse parts they also did. There are men just like them today, ( like our current president ) making themselves a fortune, and leaving millions and millions behind and suffering. And leading the country to YET Another Economy Crash as they do it. Part 1 was the 4 men who OWNED America. Today there are 8 men who own it. Back then, millions of hard working Americans suffered immensely. Today, it's an instant replay! America never learns from History, only constantly repeats it.
The Miracle of the Cards (2001)
In case no one bothered to read
In case no one bothered to read, the film was shot in Canada. Not the USA. So even still, of course you're going to see a lot of things USA in it, since I would guess Viacom is an American company. Things get shot in Canada, because it is a lot less expensive then shooting in the USA. Many popular movies and TV shows were done there.
