Fahrenheit 451 (2018)
I Wish That IMDb Had A Negative Stars Rating
This made for HBO disaster is an insult to both the novel and the original film.
Frequency (2016)
This Is A Gross Insult To The 2000 Film!
When I read the description of this "Frequency" I knew it was going to be a rip-off of the film; a film I've seen so many times that I have it committed to memory. But why couldn't they still go back 30 years from 2016 to the 1986 New York Mets? It's still a Sullivan family from Queens, and anyone who knows about NY fans, they wouldn't care about the Yankees vs Braves in 1996. Mets fans don't switch allegiances and root for the team from The Bronx. It also makes it boring that the daughter and father are both NYPD. That's a slap in the face to FDNY, especially since some of them who were in Frequency 2000 died on 9/11/2001. Frank Sullivan, instead of being a brave fireman who dies in the line of duty, is an NYPD cop who was killed in the line of duty as a suspected dirty cop. There's still a ham radio as the means of communication with a feeble explanation as to how it works; and I swear they took longer in the film for Frank Sullivan to believe that he was talking to his child than they did in a show that is supposed to survive as a series. There's still a Nightingale killer who kills nurses. Raimy ( the lame equivalent of Jim Caviezels' character) does have a black boss who's as flat as Andre Braugher is great in comparison. I vaguely recall that, in this pathetic show, in the interest of making it "different", that Frank and Julia weren't together when he died. There's still a Gordo in a NY Mets shirt. I wonder what stock he's going to be advised to invest in instead of Yahoo? I won't know because I won't be watching any more of this garbage! I wish that I could give it some minus stars.
In Plain Sight (2008)
Give it a chance...It keeps getting better!
Please don't be like the networks that cancel a show after a couple of episodes. I feel that In Plain Sight keeps getting better. Give it a chance! I'm no great fan of Psych or Burn Notice but I keep watching. Some episodes I like...Some episodes I don't like. And for all of you Monk fans out there...Did you pay attention to who wrote the theme song for In Plain Sight? Jeff Beal! Credit watchers unite! In fact I came to IMDb to find out who played Horst (David Foley) in one episode of In Plain Sight. It took until that episode for the show to hook me and it was the 4th episode, I think. I'm a big time fan of Monk and not all Monk episodes are great. In Plain Sight has potential so please don't write it off too soon.
The Mind of Mr. Soames (1970)
I Thought The Movie Was Excellent
I haven't seen it in awhile and can't find the Charles Eric Maine novel it was based on. It's been out-of-print forever. Another novel by Mr. Maine is available..."Alph"...But I do remember how the movie ends and I don't think every film needs to end on a final note. Let your imagination create an ending for Mr. Soames. Does Dr. Bergen (Robert Vaughn) continue with him, in which case he might thrive after the negative note the film ends on or does Dr. Maitland continue screwing him up using him as a human guinea pig? Does he lapse back into a coma or some other vegetative state or commit suicide? To leave a final ending up to ones imagination is part of what makes the sad but incomplete ending of the film wonderful. If I could read the book I could compare but... Thanks to a private seller in the UK via Amazon I'm finally reading the book. Thus far it was a good idea to create Dr. Bergen instead of the Japanese Dr. Takaito who perform the surgery that wakes up Mr. Soames.
