The Originals (2013–2018)

The Originals

[3 October 2013]

About The Pilots, I think some of these reviews from people are per-judging this show way to prematurely. Julie Plec has already stated that the first episode would recap from a different point of view the events from the backdoor Pilot from TVD episode 20 and to introduce Characters. While some portions were boring I can understand this as this needed to be done so that first Time viewers who did not see the backdoor pilot can be properly introduce to the show and for those who do not watch TVD. You people are judging this to early on and you have to give the stories a little time to take shape. While some of the main cast are not new to their characters others are that have not been on TVD, so they will need a little time to develop their characters. The others from TVD are on New ground to carry their own storyline separate from TVD so in time they will get accustom to their new environments. The Baby storyline I think can be really good, its been done on The Underworld Movies and it can make an interesting story, lets not knock it yet and see where it goes. This Pilot was good in my opinion, you all have to give it time, be patient and don't condemn it just yet. I give this Pilot 4 thumbs up!

The Iceman (2012)

The True Story of Richard Kuklinski played by Michael Shannon,

[5/10 · 14 August 2013]

Overall the movie was not bad, but it was not great either, Shannon played the role well but I think the casting of the main role could have been better, Shannon looked nothing like Kuklinski, Shannon was to skinny as Kuklinski was a very big guy, also Shannon did not capture Richards characteristics as far as I am concerned based on what I have seen in the HBO interviews. There were parts of the movie that was just boring, and there were some kills that just did not happen they Richard said in his interviews. There was another Iceman project underway with actor Mickey Rourke as Richard, he would have been a much better choice and I hope they make the movie with Mickey I really want to see that one.
