Chef (2014)
10/10
Great writing and very likable characters
13 September 2014
I was very surprised how much I liked this story more and more as it progressed. Great writing. The funny lines sneak up on you. You can identify with the frustrations of someone not allowed to do his job. Every character is likable. The story progresses at just the right pace creating many joyous moments along the way. Yes, even the few actual food sequences are well done (sic) and make you a bit hungry. characters. Jon Favreau, Robert Downy, Jr., Dustin Hoffman, John Leguizamo, Bobby Cannavale,Scarlett Johansson,Sofía Vergara and Oliver Platt make a fantastic cast. Each of them make their characters real and endearing. Young Emjay Anthony shows us his extraordinary talent as Favreau's son. I recommend this movie to everyone who likes a feel good story with great characters.

Hong Kong (1960–1961)
10/10
I Agree!

I have memories of this show being one of the best series. Outstanding look and feel. I watched faithfully every episode. The music and casting was fantastic. I was amazed that it did not last longer. Assumed that it was too expensive to produce. Very surprised to find out that the fantastic scenes of Hong Kong streets were filmed on back lots. This series made me a Rod Taylor fan for life. I still watch "The Time Machine" every time it is on TV. Hong Kong was great and I wish I could find the series on DVD. Just finished watching Gathering of Eagles and had to come to IMDb for more information on Rod Taylor. I still wonder why we don't see more of him in movies and on TV.
