Lost (2004)
Initially Promising Series that Completely Plummeted
A TV series that started with real promise & potential, plummeted — losing a good deal of steam and momentum, and ultimately was rendered completely pointless from leaving so many "loose ends" and not providing any real answers nor resolution.
As stated above, LOST started really well its first couple seasons.
However, before long, some characters became the object of plenty — or way too much focus and development. While others suddenly became overlooked and forgotten about: Mr. Eko; Anna Lucilla; Michael and his son Walt; and Bernard the dentist and his wife — making only the most token of appearances — if acknowledged at all.
And frankly, I became quite sick of all the show's focus and development being on John Locke, Jack Sheppard, Kate Austin, Sawyer, Sayid, and Hurley Reyes — and to a lesser extent Desmond Hume, Claire, and Benjamin Linus.
Also, there are some real nagging questions that just haven't been answered nor addressed at all: why did "The Others" kidnap Walt? Why did Richard Alpert and Ben Linus and the rest of The Others commit mass murder upon the Dharma Initiative members? And even though for some time pregnant women couldn't successfully give birth to living healthy babies (Claire being the lone exception in ages), why did the others want to kidnap pregnant women?
Also, after Ben Linus and Locke left Jacob's cabin (this being the first time Locke "met" Jacob), why did Ben shoot Locke and leave him for dead in a mass grave? Then sometime later, Walt appeared (after leaving the island with his father Michael no less) — having obviously grown and matured — into helping Locke out and surviving — there was never any explanation whatsoever for that.
And again, why did Ben murder Locke when they were off the island? Again, this program may have begun well, but it went off on too many tangents — which soon became loose ends — which couldn't possibly be possibly tied up.
Because of these facts, this show was ultimately rendered pointless and a complete waste — and robbery for some — if not many — of us viewers.

Triangle (2009)
Disappointing and Overly Redundant
Disappointing and Overly Redundant
I watched this movie last night, and it mite be O.K.: I found the acting decent enough -- and from a technical standpoint this movie may have been well-made -- worse movies have come out.
However, in rapid fashion it became blatantly (even sickeningly) redundant and when it ended (it ran a good bit too long for me) it left no resolution whatsoever -- nor any explanation whatsoever of what caused the supposedly bizarre events in the first place.
Long story short: it seemed to me this movie was a glorified, drawn-out "Twilight Zone" episode.
Rocky V (1990)
Much better than I expected.
While this movie may not rank among the all-time greats, it is, in my estimation, a pretty fair, decently made movie (I found it much more believable and down to earth than Rocky IV). I can honestly say that I enjoyed this movie (Tommy Morrison, who portrayed Tommy Gunn, acted pretty well and effectively in his role); and that Sylvester Stallone incorporates excellent continuity into a movie-sequel series.
Southern Comfort (1981)
entertaining movie
In my estimation, this is a well-made movie with a very solid (and under-appreciated and overlooked) cast; it is also very well directed, with crisp action from start to finish. I highly recommend this movie for its intended viewing audience (mature adults).
