All Is Lost (2013)
3/10
I want my time back....
6 March 2014
How could Redford make this film? Talk about falling from grace. The only reason I gave this film 3/10 instead of 1/10 was for the production value/photography. Otherwise, it was the longest 107 minutes of my life...maybe even worse than "Titanic"...I would need to think about it. Redford plays a severely incompetent sailor---no one in their right mind would go out on open seas that unprepared. It was truly shocking. I have gone out in a dingy more prepared than he did in his sailing yacht. It's not like Redford needed the money from this film--what a fall from grace to star in "The Natural" and then this film...I hope he will go back to Sundance and stop acting if this is the best he can do.

The Bletchley Circle (2012–2014)
10/10
Excellent show

Great period drama....quite extraordinary how these women went from code breakers in WWII saving thousands of lives to the hum-drum of home life after the war. I can only imagine how difficult the transition must have been. Anna Maxwell Martin, who plays Susan, does such a great job. I had no idea how fantastic she was--very believable and her passion is deeply portrayed here. This show is enigmatic---quite refreshing. Great actors and very interesting..I couldn't stop watching--I found this by accident and was truly impressed with the production quality. If you like this...watch "Call the Midwives"--another great British show.
