Rosewood (2015)
Bland, trite and a huge waste of time.
Well that is 45 minutes of my life I wish I had back. I don't believe the writers missed one cop show cliché. The story line was shallow and predictable. This show came off as a marriage between a seventies disco documentary and a twenty first century forensic science field trip. Morris Chestnut played the stereotypical lead role well, unfortunately there was no way to develop the character that did not come off as banal and trite. Jaina Lee Ortiz was totally unbelievable as the "tough cop with a chip on her shoulder" kicking bad guy butts all over the place. The "lively banter" between the characters was sophomoric at best. Fox has some great shows in their line-up this season, unfortunately Rosewood is not one.
The Lone Ranger (2013)
Very entertaining and a lot of fun.
I like movies for their entertainment value, and this movie does not disappoint. Armie Hammer is the perfect straight man to Johnny Depp. Depp shows a great sense of comedic timing and the laugh lines are pure gold. This action packed film has wonderful cinematography, and the special effects are outstanding. The storyline is predictable, but it is the Lone Ranger after all. I liked the story telling angle and the young boy who was not quite sold on the truthfulness of the "Noble Savage's" tale. I cannot understand how film critics make their money, when they miss so badly in their assessment of what the average viewer wants. Don't listen to the critics, this is a wonderful movie and you will be elated that you watched it.
