Finalmente che il mondo conoscerai la bellissima musica di un mito! I am so happy that the world outside of Italy/mainland Europe will know the fantastic music and,unmistakable and,wonderful voice of Gianna Nannini! Having lived in Italia for 20 years I was blessed with hearing her voice BUT on moving to the U. K. sadly NOBODY had ever heard of her and,still to this day it sadly remains the same! I have to keep up with the Italian music scene to still hear her wonderful opere d'arte and,hopefully with this docu series the wonderful Gianna will be heard and,appreciated. Especially in the U. K.!!!

The birth of solidale media demons.
3 February 2024
Little did we know that when this episode aired and,when not a lot of us were into technology,no home computers,that this was a premonition of what we have nowadays on Social Media! A lot of reviews think that the episode was ridiculous and cheesy,probably by those who spend most of their time glued to Facebook,online dating and the rest,thinking it's the be all and end all of modern life! I loved the fact that Xander had the intelligence to be worried about not knowing who was in the chat room with Willow,could be anyone,thus sending warning signs to Buffy. If only more thought similar today!
The Out-Laws
(2023)
Can't get much worse than this! Just like clowns,the most unfunny "funny" things in existence.
17 July 2023
The synopsis looked really good and I was in the mood for a comedy. It left me so angry and,disappointed with myself that I sat through the whole movie! Just HAD to know how it would end. Nina Dobrev absolutely does not suit this type of potty mouthed,tattooed trashy character,but the bills do need paying I suppose. And what's with Brosnan's grating Northern Irish accent? Couldn't he have used his own Meath accent? At least he was the only decent one in the movie. Ive never cared for Ellen Barkin,from the start of her career and,was not swayed after seeing her ham acting and,cardboard movements. Adam Devine! Who? Exactly!! I have never seen or heard of him before this and I certainly hope that's the last time. How much overacting can you get into one scene? His stupid face pulling was just so painful to sit through! And,just when things couldn't get any worse. The car chase through the cemetery was just too much and,so disrespectful. What's wrong when they're dodging and swerving though streets,or upending market stalls? Too boring? Oh,of course,it's all about "being outside the box" nowadays,the "shock" factor! It was,in the end,a total and,utter slapstick disaster movie which doesn't even merit an IMDb listing.
Debbie Downer
17 May 2023
When Carlos said "I don't want to be a Debbie Downer....." I thought this phrase did not exist back in the 1970s! And it did not!!! It was first used on SNL in 2004,so why do the creators not do their homework before using terms that weren't around back then? All through the first 7 episodes of this series it's been full of ridiculously modern day dialogue and,wokisms and,utterly annoying politically correct tripe. Are they in fear of offending snowflakes if they truly portray how life was when this series was meant to be? I really love the soundtrack but now I'm waiting for songs post 1975......
Too woke for the timeline!!
10 May 2023
This season started off great with the 1950s vibe going on,I love the fashion,)even if it's a bit too exaggerated & mature for highschool kids),the music and,the dialogue. Then the modern day wokeness started to bleed through. Just be true to the era,you won't be hung drawn & quartered if you don't include certain aspects of TODAY that obviously weren't out in the open back then. In fact,it's just in the last decade or so that they fully blown in movies but moreso on our TV screens. What's the point of going back to a time in history when it's just crawling with modern day stuff? I lost interest.
Castiel looks so young!!
5 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
What a nice surprise to see Misha Collins. This is my 4th time rewatching Charmed and,how did I never recognise Misha Collins before,as I am a huge Supernatural fan I was kicking myself for not seeing it before! Although admittedly he was a youthful 25 year old with blonde hair. But this time around I could see a very young Castiel,from his gestures to his vocal & facial expressions,really showing how he'd be in his unforgettable and,future role as Castiel. Brilliant line for me was when he asked Phoebe if she was an Angel. Little did HE know...It's a shame he wasn't cast as Pheebs future boyfriend.
The Gundown
(2011)
Like the old style westerns I remember and loved.
13 December 2022
Ignore the negative reviews!! Give it a try!! I loved this movie,attracted by the fact that one of my favourite actors,Andrew Walker feature,albeit far from his feel-good Christmas movies. He showed his grint and,ability to make any of his movies worthy of watching. This brought me back to watching TV series like Bonanza or The High Chaparral,even though the colourful language was not at all necessary. Indie movies are often dismissed by many,who are always expecting modern Westerns to live up to the glitz and,glamour of Hollywood. This is what makes this one stand out from many. Thumbs up for me!!!

Jingle Belle
(2018 TV Movie)
I love this actress!
11 January 2022
What a heartwarming movie about coming home for Christmas. Having lived abroad for so many years I always find coming home at Christmas was always the best time to spend with my family & friends. I have only watched two movies ("Dear Secret Santa" being the first)with Tatyana Ali and,she is has been added to my favourite actresses list. I find her so endearing in her roles,so natural,pretty and,such a joy to watch.
A Belle for Christmas
(2014)
3 Stars exclusively for the puppy!
10 January 2022
Shocking film! Stilted acting & amateur script. Especially the way the kids talked,I mean come on,giving them scripts that were more suitable for teenagers or even adults! Embarrassed for Dean Cain & Haylie Duff that they ended up in this movie. They deserve better. Kristy Swanson was atrocious as Buffy and,it seems she had not improved since!! The best acting was from the cute puppy!
The Christmas Gift
(2015 TV Movie)
Loved it!
21 December 2021
Seeing "Dawnee" all grown up was wonderful to see! Ok,so I'm a crazy fan of Buffy and,this is the first time I've see Miss Trachtenberg since loving her character in BTVS! Great movie and I will never ever understand the grumpy heartless comments left by some reviewers!! Are their lives THAT perfect that even the simplest of heartfelt messages are overlooked?
Christmas List
(2016 TV Movie)
I dreaming of a fake Christmas!
19 December 2021
Hallmark yet again hits the fakery overload! Here's what Christmas on a Botox overdose looks like! Urggh. Lead actress & her mother seemed to be competing on who could have the most Botox whilst they still looked false & haggard! Awful,stilted acting and yet again Hallmark always makes two timing seem twee,sweet and,strangely acceptable! Not a fan!!!
Christmas for a Dollar
(2013)
Where did we lose the true meaning of Christmas?
19 December 2021
NOTE! This movie on Amazon Prime is entitled "A Christmas Wish". Such a heartwarming movie which help us reflect that Christmas is a time for kindness towards our family and friends and,not about HOW much money we feel obliged to spend on gifts to impress each other. Even in times of austerity,it's so important for us to remember gifts come from the heart and soul and,not from our pockets. Reviews from those who blasted this movie should look within themselves and,really think "Am I truly happy with my lot?"Riches are within us and,not in our bank accounts! This one is on my list of all time favourite Christmas movies!!! Plus,it was great seeing Leo from "Charmed". It was like watching him in an alternative Whitelighter role.
Long awaited and unexpected update!
17 December 2021
I absolutely loved the first movie and I was pleasantly surprised to see that there was a sequel! I really wanted an update on how the Bernet Vineyard was doing. I was not disappointed! Great family viewing. I would love to see this great and enjoyable movie made into a TV Series! Here's hoping,fingers crossed.
More songs than a bona fide musical!!!
19 November 2021
I am completely done with this series! It has turned into an embarrassment. The characters seem more immature now than they did in their teen years! And what is with ALL THE MUSICAL episodes! Is it trying to carry the Glee torch? That one fizzled out long ago and,should never be repeated! I fast forwarded my way through this episode as I can NEVER EVER follow a storyline when it is "sung"! Nope,Riverdale for me is dead & buried! Ciao,Addio.
Hmm... A bit of Buffy going on here!
26 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Talking about guardians "...every generation a girl is born". Then switch to the high school where a Buffy lookalike is telling her friend "call me"! Ring any bells? I don't mind at all by this similarity because I absolutely love Buffy so it brings back great memories of the Scooby Gang into Charmed which is,for me,on par with Buffy. Well done! Thumbs up from me!!!
Midnight Mass
(2021)
This is not a reflection of Roman Catholicism!
2 October 2021
In my 57 years as an Irish Roman Catholic I have NEVER heard or seen quotes from Genesis at Mass and,we do NOT take wine at Communion! EVER! This is more related to the Protestant and Anglican Church service and,probably other "Christian" beliefs. Is this how American Catholics behave? If so,then they have it all wrong. Not at all or even remotely similar to how I was brought up! Ok,the Mass was more or less the same,but we don't go around quoting the Bible,or the Old Testament,which had no part in Catholicism,as it was before Our Lord was born. Load of rubbish and,a bad representation of my religion!
Emily Deschanel!!!
6 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
As always,another great episode,BUT what a refreshing surprise to see Emily Deschanel make an all too brief appearance. How I miss "Bones" and hearing her wonderful voice and,of course,great acting. For a moment there,I thought I was watching a crossover episode of "Bones/The Rookie" (wishful thinking) and,was expecting David Boreanaz to appear any moment! Unfortunately not so! All in all,an enjoyable moment.
Now we're sucking diesel!
12 April 2021
The Line of Duty that I love is truly back with this episode! This is what we were waiting for! Slow start,but in all fairness,an intriguing buildup to this edge of the seat episode! It's going in all directions as to who the bent copper is,which makes it so addictive to watch. Welcome back AC-12!
Family Blood
(2018)
A horror to watch!
10 April 2021
Shocking film,too much ASMR heaving breathing,close ups and just horribly boring. Was this meant to represent suspense? Big fail! Netflix really scrape below the bottom of barrel for some of its films. This is one that shouldn't have ever been found.
Viva Buffy & gang!!!!
13 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
After years of not watching Buffy & the Scooby gang I fell in love with Spike all over again.Strange though,hearing his natural American accent,he suits the English accent he had in BTVS much better.
What a fantastic surprise to see him & Cordelia in this episode.Felt like a teenager all over again! Brilliant seeing Charisma(Cordelia) too.
Deadly Class
(2018–2019)
Music 10 / '80's image big fat ZERO
24 June 2020
Full stars even though I've just started watching. That's for the the music,being an Indie '80's child this is perfect for me.And hallelujah for the lack of zombies attached to their technology & (un)social media. Not much success with the authentic '80's look.Especially the girls.Don't the production team study the era they want to portray? We '80's survivors ARE still around you know,so don't think we're fooled that easy.
