Law & Order: UK (2009)
Rehash of an episode from the original Law & Order
I was so excited to watch this new version of "Law & Order" as I am a fan of all spin-offs of the original. It has a great cast and lots of potential. Imagine my disappointment as I was watching it to realize that it is taken almost word for word from the original show.
This show was titled "Care" but it is actually from Season 2, Episode 18 of the original "Law & Order" titled "Cradle to Grave"! I have heard people complain the the shows are always "ripped from the headlines" and I don't understand their complaint. But this episode was "ripped off another episode"! This is inexcusable and hugely disappointing. I sat there telling my husband what was going to happen next and there was not one surprise! Boo to the creators and writers of "Law & Order: UK" for not having anything to offer but a rehash of the original show!
Mrs. Mike (1949)
The movie is a huge disappointment compared to the book!
First of all, Sgt. Mike Flannagan was a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman who was over 6' tall and when I saw the movie, with Dick Powell playing the role....well, he just didn't fill the boots! As has been said before by others, the movie glosses over the hardships Kathy Flannagan went through and the true pioneer spirit of a woman who grew up in Boston and was not prepared for the rigors of living in the Canadian wilderness. I would not give this movie more than a 2. Lois Z. a.k.a Rusty T. clown.
