The Last Days (1998)
Required Viewing
This film needs to be required viewing for every high school student. It is so difficult for me to believe that some Americans believe the Holocaust was a hoax. A extraordinary film.
The Tinder Swindler (2022)
Leap of Faith
It takes an enormous leap of faith to believe that a grown woman could live in such a fantasy world. Thanks to the internet dating apps her case is not unique.
Succession (2018)
Good premise, mediocre execution
I watched the first eight episodes, but I finally became bored with the mediocre script writing. There are words other than f that get the point across, and with much more ingenuity. Like sarcasm, "adult" language is more more effective if used judiciously.
The Good Fight (2017)
Huge Disappointment
It is sad to see a series deteriorate so much from the auspicious start of "The Good Wife". Watch one of these earlier episodes and then watch the Series 2 finale (episode 13). For starters, a photo of the President is blown up in the opening credits. Then his name is mentioned disparagingly at least a dozen times, whether it is relevant to the story line or not. Character development has turned into caricatures. When Lucca is giving birth, is it really amusing to hear five women screaming out every vulgarity imaginable --- over and over and over ? When Diane and Kurt learn their apartment is bugged, they starting typing out messages to each other on the same keyboard while standing right next to each other. Here's an idea, walk out the door and then talk to each other. I could go on and on, but I will spare you the misery. If only The Good Fight would do the same.
