The Grey (2011)
Boring. Disappointed in Liam.
I usually watch any movie with Liam Neeson but this was his worst. Slow boring, stupid plot line and the end was just absurd. Not worth it for sure.
Lucy in the Sky (2019)
Natalie Portman proves that talent is not a requirement for getting cast in Hollywood
Not sure why anyone would bother to make this movie. Two hours of my life I will not get back. No rapport with any of the characters, hodgepodge story and just a complete mess of a plot. How Portman gets jobs is beyond me. Can't Jon Hamm find something better to do?
Prisoners (2013)
It Takes A Lot of Work.
It takes a lot of work to assemble an excellent cast and produce a bloated nonsensical movie. At least 45 minutes too long considering you can figure out the end after thirty. Tag line for this film should have been "World's stupidest father meets worlds slowest detective." Moves at a snails pace with manufactured twists and not a single character resembles a real human being. Perhaps it would have worked better if the casting of the families had been reversed. It seemed like the director was trying so hard to turn Hugh Hackman into Liam Nelson in Taken. Very little real suspense. I am a big fan of all the principal actors in this drama but was severely disappointed.
Stargate: Atlantis: Ghost in the Machine (2008)
One of my favorite episodes.
This is one of my favorite episodes. SGA has always explored what it really means to be human. And I love how each of the regular characters has their own idea. Dr. Weir has always carried a heavy burden and throughout her years in charge has had to make difficult decisions. She eloquently and gracefully makes one more.
So many times in other TV Series we see characters change and often become completely different characters over time often to the detriment of the series. On the other hand I have always loved how the writers of this series has consistently and pervasively maintained the personalities of their characters. Rodney is always Rodney, Elizabeth is always Elizabeth, John is always John, etc. So it was refreshing to see how Elizabeth suddenly acting different under the circumstances, finally proves that she really is Dr. Elizabeth Weir.
