The Escort (2015)
Touching.
I'll keep this short; 'The Escort' has covered most of a touching movie. Bouncing between the edges of morality, love, humour and drama you'll find a chemical reaction between two well played characters both struggling with their shadow sides of life.
Both Fonseca and Doneger performing par excellence and in contrast to the sufficient (sometimes close to over-)acting by Campbell and other co-stars.
The story itself is a contemporary version of existing grandeurs like 'Pretty Woman' and 'Indecent proposal'. If there is anything negative to mention it is the lacking depth and meagre storyline.
Not a rough diamond but certainly a polished ruby, well worth viewing.
The Last Man on Earth (2015)
Excellent mirror of the mind packed with a variety emotions
Haven't we all taken our fantasy to the title of this show once or twice? And this is what the makes this show a new gem. The flat humor, good acting performance and a storyline taken directly from your own fantasy is for sure a potential winner. Having driven along all the mainland states seeking for people, Phil Miller (Will Forte) returns home in Tucson, starting a new life in an empty world or so it seems.
Excellent acting by Kristen Schaal, portraying Carol Pilbasian, the nagging woman you would not want around, even if you where the be last man on earth..some might say.
The biggest mistake one could make is to start arguing the reality of the decor. Sit back relax and enjoy this feast of recognition and imagination. The variety of sophisticated gallows humor and gullible plain jokes are succeeding in rapid pace.
