Temptation Under the Sun (2022)
Lightweight
I thought that this movie had a weak plot. Also, the actors and actresses were not very good. In fact, the acting was terrible. Usually, I like most of the Lifetime movies,but this one get thumbs down for me.
A League of Their Own (2022)
Modern Day Version
This could have been a real good series, some good actors. However, there was way too much in your face diversity preaching. I still enjoyed the series!
The 355 (2022)
Modern Day!
This is essentially a modern day version of Charlie's Angels! It is a real diverse group: a German, An American, A South American, Black American, and an Oriental. Very forgettable! Mindless entertainment!
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
Old faces, but weak plot!
I saw the film last week and was disappointed. It had the feel of a "B" dinosaur movie! A lot of disconnected violence between dinosaurs. Nothing new here in this movie. I hope this is not the demise of the series!
NCIS: Hawai'i (2021)
Mediocre Series!
This series does not appear to have it's footing yet. Not enough of that beautiful Hawaiian scenery is in the episodes and the music score is not very good. This could be a really good series, if they put a little more money and time into it. Hopefully the second season will be much improved!
Magnum P.I. (2018)
A Reboot!
This is a really good series! There is great chemistry between Jay and Perdita. Also, there is a feeling of friendship between the actors in the series. The series is well written and I look forward to the next season!
Walker (2021)
Conflicting Series
I started out liking the new Walker show. However, it has evolved into a "Woke" soap opera. Some of the content is really laughable at times. It appears that there may be a new writer for Season 2 or there is pressure to change the series in that direction. I believe I will go back to watching Walker, Texas Ranger with Chuck Norris! It neds more grit and not so much soap! Disappointed watcher!
Grimm (2011)
Good Entertainment!
Well written, great acting and I am sorry to see it go. Even the special effects are interesting. It is not a real talky show, which is good and the action and dialogue are well balanced. Most of the time the dialogue is sensible and fits in the overall story. It was a show that kept my interest the entire hour.
Tales of Wells Fargo (1957)
Good Western Series
As a child, I watched this series and enjoyed it very much. It had all of the aspects of the old "B" westerns, but the acting and writing was so much better. Dale Robertson made a number of "B" movies in his time and I believe that this series was the best of the group. Up until a few years ago, it was hard to find any of the episodes in this series. So, I am glad that it is now being shown on cable TV and the quality is really better than when I watched them many years ago.
Taken (2017)
A Real Disappointment!
Because of the title, I started watching this series, but so far it has not lived up to it's name. I really want to like this show and will give it another couple of episodes and hope that it gets better. So far the acting is only fair and the series appears to be not well written. Clive Standen is a better actor than this series, but a good actor can only do so much with a poorly written and produced show. Hopeful!
The Blacklist: Redemption (2017)
Blacklist: Redemption
I assume that the name "Blacklist" in this series was taken from the successful series with the same name. The pilot for this new series was encouraging, however the subsequent episodes have been flat and the actors appear to be just sleep walking through each episode. The plot of each episode is hard to follow at times. A real disappointment so far.
