The Loch (2017)
No, it's not trying to be Broadchurch
If I could, I would give it a 7.5, just not quite an 8. I only felt compelled to give a review because I saw negative reviews by a lot of stuffed shirts. I think it has a compelling way of telling the story from the female cop's perspective. Does that make it "feminist" or "politically correct"? Of course not. Get over yourself, whoever said that! Just another misogynist pig trying to shuck it off as politically correct.
The way it ties in the different murders is as realistic as many American cop shows I've seen. I like how there is some irreverent humor from the younger characters.
I'm not the typical reviewer but felt I needed to add some of these other reviewers are stuffed shirts.
Galavant (2015)
Good Concept, Decent Acting, Poor Writing/Composition
1. I love musicals but these tunes aren't the least bit catchy or memorable. 2. The writing is lacking. It relies to much on Ketchy lines and overly long poorly written songs tying them together in a mismatched Frankenstein fashion (and without the comic genius of Young Frankenstein). 3. The miserable attempts at comedy fail. Too little character development that makes you want to keep watching. As another reviewer put it, you are actually uncomfortable watching the characters. It's like they channeled the worst, most distasteful side of Monty Python but not the cleverness that makes the gaffs tolerable.
I actually suffered through 2 shows plus 10 minutes of the 3rd until I was convinced there were no redeeming qualities worth wasting any more of my time.
I was looking forward to a comedy with nice musical interludes. This is not it, unfortunately.
Rush (2014)
Great Plot Line , Characters, Acting- Beats Royal Pains
I'm sad they canceled it. Good characters, plot line, and acting in my opinion. It seems to have enough love, sex, and intrigue to please everybody. I can't understand what's not to like. There's the tension with his father and stepmother. Then there's his love interest as well as his protégé/assistant for strong female characters. There's also his best friend, the ER doctor, who sometimes acts as his moral compass. Finally, his patients are the rich & famous who have a reason for not wanting mainstream medical care. It all combines for a fascinating storyline in my opinion. Definitely better than Royal Pains. Lastly, the website has a real problem recognizing when ten lines has been entered and a complete, descriptive review has been entered.
Jinn (2014)
B Movie
I love this Genre and the premise/description sounded right up my alley. But the direction, film quality and acting are nothing more than a terrible B-movie.
It was disjointed, without a coherent storyline and a total waste of time!
And BTW, I DID like Prometheus AND Twilight! One reviewer said she was giving it a 10 to balance the Twilight lovers but GIVE ME A BREAK!
The Dialogue is terrible, the editing and screen quality was sub-par and I couldn't even watch it all the way through it was so bad! And again, I LIKE this sci-fi/fantasy/horror genre of movies. It was just poorly made, pure and simple. I feel like I like a LOT of movies that get bad ratings and I will watch 10 minutes of something with a storyline I like even if it has a bad rating to make up my own mind.
In this case the ratings were spot on...even for me. You can waste your time if you want, but you've had fair warning!
Mr. Miracle (2014)
Good Movie, bad portrayal of Mr. Miracle
Rob Morrow's direction in playing the character of Mr. Miracle was very annoying, distracting and almost Aspberger's-like in this otherwise wonderful screenplay of Debbie Macomber.
While the storyline was delightful, the directing of Rob Morrow's portrayal of Mr. Miracle was abysmal. His facial expressions and twitches made him seem mentally challenged rather than a Christmas angel "newbie" as portrayed in the book.
While MRS. MIRACLE is very clever, MR. MIRACLE falls short as a result of the lead character's performance. I don't believe it is a reflection on Rob Morrow's talent but the direction he received.
Would love to see a part two next year with another director.
