Troopers (2011)
Found on Amazon
I was searching Amazon Prime for my next series to watch and saw this. It seemed like a spoof of Star Wars. I was expecting half hour episodes, but instead it was 20 little 1-5 minute spoofs. Not on the level of Hardware wars, but pretty darn good.
Jack Ryan (2018)
Rebuttal to those trashing Jack Ryan
SPOILERS>>>
If I was easily discouraged I would have skipped watching this due to all the people saying it is pro terrorism, anti-American and smut. I'm not a fan of Colin Kaepernick. I don't think he had a good idea. Just to give you perspective on who I am when you read my review.
I'm quite glad I watched it. I don't have much issue with Greer converting to Islam for a woman. People do that all the time.
As for Ryan one time in the series he agrees that America might be guilty of doing some bad things. Those are not worth making a federal case over. I didn't see one thing pro terrorist. The terrorists wife leaves him over his actions.
As for claims of smut in the eight episodes I saw one butt, and two breasts. They were kind of gratuitous and I think it's better if you don't have your young children watching this, but you probably shouldn't have anyway.
The good to great things. John Krasinski was made for the part of Jack Ryan and it is well acted by the other main characters. The action scenes are amazing and fun. I don't want to say anymore spoilers. IMO unless you are very easily offended give this series a try. You will enjoy it and be glad you did.
Beauty and the Beast (2017)
Even better than the original. Complainers are off base.
About the only thing about this version that was not as good as the old one is Beauty and the Beast in the closing credits. It was so excellent to see actual humans rather than animation performing the parts. Emma Watson was surprisingly strong acting and singing the part of Belle. The beast played by Dan Stevens was more humorous but less comical and more believable than the animated one. All the performances were quite good. Sure Emma Thompson was not quite as wonderful as Angela Lansbury, but was still very good. Luke Evans played an excellently despicable Gaston. I liked all the directorial choices and every change made from the original was an improvement. Masterful job Disney in updating this classic.
Frequency (2016)
Best Time Travel show by Far
I don't normally write reviews, but I wanted to share my feelings regarding this show. I love science fiction and i want to like sci fi shows. Timeless and DC Legends are both IMO cheesy. I can still enjoy them, but my enjoyment is limited. Frequency is brilliantly cast and written. My eyes are riveted to the screen wondering what will happen next. If the writers can keep doing an excellent job I have no doubt that the actors will bring their ideas to life. Congratulations CW on airing something of genius. As usual any new Sci Fi show I like I hear rumors that it won't survive for a second season. Hopefully my review will encourage some to watch and others to continue. This show has potential for a great run.
