The Stand: The End (2020) Season 1, Episode 1

Completely disjointed

[1/10 · 19 December 2020]

This first episode was completely disjointed. The last scene with a man his wife and child escaping from a military base where the virus started was how this started. How backwards is that? There was way to much stuff that happens prior to when the good survivors reach Boulder that has been just skipped over. This first episode jumps between past present and future to much without any hints before doing it making this hard to follow. I'm not impressed at all and right now I'm trying to decide whether I want to watch future episodes or not. So far not a single actor in this version is as good as the actors that played the characters in the original version. I was being generous giving this only 1 star.

Texas (1994 TV Movie)

Texas the movie

[10/10 · 18 April 2017]

The Movie whether it follows the book James Michener's book nor not was excellent. I've watched this several times and enjoyed it every time. As far as wlfgdn's review where he implied that several historians agree that slavery was the central issue for the independence from Mexico is horse pucky at best. The fight to become a Republic of Texas was solely based on the fact that the people who once lived under the Constitution of the U.S and moved to Texas wanted the same freedoms that the government of Mexico refused to give. It was the resentment of the Mexican rule not slavery as the central and main reason for the eventual Republic of Texas.

Centurion (2010)

This is in response to Arthur Dent's review.

What you said about the budget and filming schedule may be true and you may have worked on this film, but of the many names listed above from driver to carpenter to gaffer to second director to whatever or whoever I don't see your name listed anywhere. That leads me to think that maybe you possibly where an extra and being an extra (I was one in a movie back in the 60's) they aren't privy to what the budgets actually are. Again I don't find any fault with your review and it is I think pretty accurate, it's just that you lay claim to working on that movie and I don't see your name listed above anywhere. Now if you used a different name here I would think that you would use the name you used for this movie so that everyone could see that you did indeed work on the movie.
