The Rookie (2018)
Used to be 10/10
I love Nathan Fillion, and this show did not disappoint. Until the Bailey character was introduced. Dewan is awful, the character is unprofessional and incompetent. And the relationship between Nolan and Bailey comes off as forced and fake. It's almost unwatchable now.
Aside from Dewan, the cast is great. Grey is my favourite, a well rounded character. Bradford, Lopez and even Harper, are all fun to watch. The introduction of Aaron was a great boost. Nolan's rookie, Celina, doesn't add much to the show.
Hopefully they can get the show back on track in season 6, bring it back to what it was in the first 3 seasons. Fingers crossed.
Plague City: SARS in Toronto (2005)
Can't say enough to describe how bad....
I'm not one to expect too much out of Canadian TV, but this was the worst of the worst. Never mind being factually inaccurate in almost every way (medically and how things actually went) the acting was horrendous! If you're going to do a docu-drama then you have to use the real hospital names. Toronto Memorial?? And if you're going to be having actors portraying doctors and nurses doing medical procedures maybe they should have gotten some technical feedback so they didn't look like a total joke. The script was sappy and cheesy. Anyone that worked in the medical field during SARS, especially in the emergency area, got a good laugh out of the movie. If you want to watch a cheesy medical (sort of) badly done 'horror' flick - then watch it. Otherwise it's just plain offensive.
Paparazzi (2004)
Worst Movie In Years
I was actually looking forward to seeing this movie. Then I watched it and quite frankly I want my $4.99 rental cost back. In theory it could (and should) have been good. But the acting was just sad, the writing was beyond terrible and the plot wore thin very, very quickly. I guess it was just a jab back at the press by Mel Gibson and his production company - but there is NO DIGNITY in producing a lemon like that. I hope one day that they make a good movie on the paparazzi premise. There's huge potential for it to be good. Maybe next time they'll splurge some money in the writing department first though. So if you rent it you've been warned it's brutal.
CSI: NY (2004)
Awesome!not a photocopy
I absolutely LOVE the original CSI. I really can't watch CSI Miami - just a bit too much. So when they announced there was a third one coming out I was skeptical. But they've out done themselves! Although the original is still my favorite, this one steps away from the CSI format a bit. There's more of a glimpse into the characters and great story lines. There isn't the condescending tone that Miami has. Gary Sinise is, of course, brilliant as usual. If they keep it up this one will stick around. Combine this one and the original and I could watch all week! No one can beat Grissom, but Taylor is certainly going to give him a run for his money. Now a combined episode would be phenomenal!
Hidden Hills (2002)
LOVE IT!
This HAS to be the best new show on TV in ages. Of course that probably means it will be cancelled. The comedy is sharp, the actor's timing is spectacular, and the story lines are great.
They hold no punches when talking about family things, sex and just getting through life as a married couple with kids.
Great, great show.
Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)
it's lost it's mojo
Don't get me wrong. I love Mike Myers, Austin, Dr. Evil (especially) and the whole gang. This 3rd movie just didn't seem to have the same vim and vigor the other two did. Very very funny but just not with the same energy. That opening sequence was a total surprise and hilarious. Austin/Mike just didn't seem to be having a fun time making the movie.
Dr. Evil was as cute as ever though - purrrrrrrr.
