The Rookie (2018)
The season finale very weak!!!!
I am constantly let things go on this version of a police drama. Some of the things on this police show is quite a stretch for police work. However letting a FBI trainee be involved in a tracking down terrorist then her an her trainer (the show producer)express their sexual preferences is a bit much. Of course she being a black woman she has to be a single mother with a father who drives a Cadillac.
Luce (2019)
It was slow
I felt no emotion and had no reaction to any part of this movie. A little disturb that the black woman's nude body was on full display while the asian and white womans bodies were discreetly shown.
Harlem (2021)
Insecure is better
I'm not sure why I gave this 4 stars. Maybe because I've only seen 2 episodes. So far I don't like any of the characters. The show is trying too hard to be funny. Every other line doesn't have to be a joke or funny or slick. What make Insecure work-they have comedians with the correct delivery and lines not actresses trying to be funny. They all seem to be caricatures and not real people. I'll watch a few more episodes and hope the show gets better. I am about to watch episode three with Whoopie maybe this will get better.
Bosch (2014)
Someone mailed it in
The writing was one iota better than a Tyler Perry script. It may be why the acting was so cold. I think everyone was going thru the motions. I wasn't at all sad the ending was near. The only good line was in the second episode with J Edgar.
Sistas (2019)
I want desperately for TP to be highly successful.
But I avoid his shows for his terrible writing. I only watched this show because I watched 4 episodes of the L word and I needed to see normal size black women and not wafer thin white women. But true to form the writing sucks; the stories are contrived. TP has great ideas , he needs to hire writers to pull off his ideas.
The Conspirators (1944)
Hedy is pretty but..
I just watched The Mask of Dimitri which was straight intrigue. This movie forced a love story down my throat. Maybe if I had watched this first I wouldn't feel this way. Perhaps if this had more Peter Lorre and less love I would have enjoyed this more.
The Flight Attendant (2020)
Not what I expected
This story should have been wrapped up in episode 5. the story was too convoluted. the acting had its good moments and bad.
Mrs. Miniver (1942)
Not sure why.
Not sure why this was awarded best picture. It was not funny,nor dramatic or the least bit interesting. However, I could not take my eyes off of Greer Garson. Loved the scene where she was showing of the hat to her husband.
Keepin' the Faith: My Baby's Gettin' Married! (2009)
Single worst movie of the genre I ever saw
Of all of the independent movies about black love, this is by far the worst I have seen. First of all the DVD jacket doesn't give an accurate description of the movie. The dialog (like most of these movies) is weak at best. There are scenes that appear that have no part of the movie, bad editing I guess. But worst of all there are characters in the movie that just doesn't belong. The foster kid role was supposed to be comic relief but in a semi-comedy movie that's 80 minutes long that isn't necessary. I understand that the directors and actors of these movies are at the beginning points of their career but please put a little more thought into the production.
