The Messenger (2023)
just loved it
I found the description intriguing. Reminded me to Ruby and the fountain. I liked that and indeed it is similar but for grown ups.
I found the acting very good, the characters are all likable and believable. Never seen them before in other movies or series but they all act great.
I do not understand some of the other reviews.
I am 60 and probably it depends how old you are and what your experiences in live are if you enjoy this or not.
I really can not say anything bad about this series. I watched every episode with joy. I only wonder how Ed the main character earns his money. But then again i can say that for all TV shows.
I hope there will be a second season.
Night Sky (2022)
Unexpected good scifi
I was lucky to find this series. The actors and acting is great. The story too. It has some drama which makes it more human and believable.
It starts a bit slow, i guess some viewers might have quit after episode 2. But this that kept watching can appreciate it. You always can tell the difference between an A-movie and a B-one, and this is A for sure.
I hope there will be a season 2 and possible more. I think this is an original show/story and i feel there is plenty to tell.
It reminds a bit to shows as Lost and Dark.
Maybe this is not for the younger audience. But it is one of the best shows i watched since years.
The Green Knight (2021)
bored to death
5 stars for the acting and visual effects.
The movie is very slow. That is not a real bad thing since it creates a kind of atmosphere. The only reason i watch till the end is to see how it would end.
Maybe i expected more and that is the reason for the disappointment.
I would love to see what kind of movies users that rate this high like.
I dont want to repeat what other wrote. But i advise to pick any other movie.
A Nero Wolfe Mystery (2001)
Good detective but good be better with different actors
This is a great detective series. The stories are good, the acting is solid.
But there is one big problem : the actors are all the same. So one episode they are a murdered, the next episode a victim. A mustache can not disguise this. Maybe when you watch an episode once a month it does not matter. But when you watch each day it is very annoying.
FBI (2018)
another victem of wooke
I like criminal intent of the same director. FBI is almost as good.
The first 2 seasons were good. But the last season 3 is annoying.
Just like in other series of 2021, all of a sudden all the native Americans are victims. I understand that there is racism but too make every episode about that spoils the series.
The acting is very good. The stories are ok too with some exceptions.
I guess a real FBI agent will laugh when he watch this.
Tenet (2020)
loved it from the start till the end
It is not as brilliant as memento.
But it is brilliant when you give it some thoughts.
The only problem is that in the cinema it goes fast so you need to get the blueray to watch it again and you can pause it.
Some series like Dark and movies like Tenet are just for at home when you can pause and rewind.
But action need to be seen on the big screen. So be prepared to be confused when you can only watch it once.
The movie itself is brilliant and something else. if you are into that.
The story about a bad villain(always from Russia?) itself is simple. But the back and forth time and object travel is great.
The Midnight Sky (2020)
a waste of 2 hours and the environment
The action is solid. The pictures are too.
But the story is very weak. There are many similar movies. Most of them way better.
It brings nothing new. Since this seems some kind of 'safe the world' movie it would have been better that this movie was not made since it would have saved a lot of earths resources.
Dark (2017)
Best TV series of all times
Dark is the absolute top. While you can compare it to series like Twin Peaks, X-files or stranger things, there is in fact nothing it can compare to.
The story, the acting, the cast when young and old, it is all superb.
Normal TV series usually start great for 1 or 2 episodes and then go into easy mode till the last episode where something happens for the next season.
So not Dark : each episode you want to watch fully. And in fact you want to re-watch. It is like a page turner : you want to read and turn the next page each time till the end.
With normal TV i usually use my mobile while watching boring pieces. Some TV i even wonder why i watch it. But not this : it keeps your attention from the begin till the end.
I was afraid that season 2 would be a deception. But i watched 5 episodes now and it is as good or better? than season 1. And i learned there will be a season 3. Yes, that made my day and i am confident that it will be as good as season 1 and 2.
A lot of effort has been done to make the characters look good in the varies stages of their live. Never seen it that good before.
When i am ready with season 2, i will re-watch season 1. And that is something i never done before.
When i was a billionaire i would order 10 seasons of Dark :-)
I watched the German spoken version. I prefer that over the English synced version.
I do not want to give spoilers but when you like SF, time travel and a rock solid story and acting, this is the one to watch !
Before Your Time (2017)
Great movie made by volunteers
I wasn't expecting to see a great movie since it was made by volunteers.
I was totally wrong. I saw a great movie. The acting was very good. The camera and sound work too. Maybe it is because i do not understand the concept but this was just like other professional movies.
So all who worked at this movie : great job done!
