Vera (2011)
Superb writing and acting
Please don't stop. It is one of the few shows left with real type characters, lives and jobs. No botoxed, sex filled, vulgarity, make up and clothes out of a fashion magazine type over acting. No over the top, revenge, take the law into their own hands police detectives who unrealistically shoot up the screen at the end of the story.
Vera's cast are just real type people trying to get by and do their job while people withhold things and make it harder. No need to add a bunch of nonsense. The cast of characters play nicely off each other without having to try to be a star, per se.
The writing is good because unlike other shows, going un-named, there aren't massive holes in the story or unbelievable behavior by multiple police or unexplained endings that are ridiculous. Just good story telling.
Father Stu (2022)
Truly realistic with griping performances.
"Top critics" at Rotten Tomatoes got it way wrong again. Hint: If audiences give it 90+ and you give it 40, which seems to be a trend with your top critics, maybe they arent able to be objective and fall waaaaay short of what the people like. Maybe they are just uncomfortable about the content. Critics fell flat like those that refused to produce it.
This movie is a griping reality of life's hard knocks, people's misconceptions about God and the church's twisted idea of 'worthy'. Trust me, I know. What an exceptional story of our fight to be someone, to matter to others and our recognition of what truly matters.
This movie brings in the raw unflinching humanness and shows us, truly, where people and life demand something from us, God uses us where we are. The rating should be a LOT higher
Good job Stuart, for listening to His call and not letting obstacles get in the way of what He can do. And good job, Mark, for the same. This is His message.
By the way, the acting was superb, the story realistic and the whole thing was so very well done that you get lost in the emotions of it all. This could be any one of us.
The Chosen (2017)
Excellent! Can't wait until season 2
Very well done! Biblically accurate and gives a great idea of what they might have lived like in those years. Adds a real life perspective. Love it! Can't wait until Season 2!
