The Poison Rose (2019)
They phoned this one in with a can at the end of a string
This movie is a supposed noir shot in the bright sun of SoCal and "supposedly" Galveston. I have had dreams with better plot lines than this movie, calling it a dog is disrespectful to our canine companions. One hopes they paid the voice coach only at scale, there has never been such a mishmash of attempts at a Texas drawl in one production in the history of American cinema. This trite piece of undercooked tripe fails on every level, they only positive thing to come out of it is we can hope three over the hill class A stars got one big final payday from this production. The bad guys are some of the worst shots in Texas and should have their NRA cards suspended. Too bad NETFLIX doesn't have a "delete" option.
The Midnight Sky (2020)
Like a Texas river, a mile wide and an inch deep
SPOILER ALERT! Nothing happens in the first two hours and then they run the credits.
Murder in the First (2014)
Sigh, continuity
This appears to be a miniseries format, some complain of the slow start but I like that they are building a case to a conclusion. Glad Bachco is not following the old format of 3 parts plus finale, IE: wrong guy, maybe right guy, make case, and get 'em. Has potential, character development will be the key to success.
Sigh, good start but continuity issue with The Jet. Outside is Next Jen 737 BBJ, cockpit shot is Boing 727, round dial engine instruments instead of glass cockpit, glimpse of Flight Engineer seat sideways, and red emergency breaking handle left of engine instruments. At least there wasn't a shot of a B-52 landing gear like was common in the '60's.
Looking forward to see how they resolve the cliff hanger, the APPLSCN (Jobs clone) is just too obvious.
