When I heard there was a remake happening, I wasn't to keen on the idea. But then I found out it was going to be from the perspective of a Black family and that piqued my interest. I like this version! Sure, the original was amazing! We wanted Kevin and Winnie to be together forever! But you can't compare the two because they are each their own perspective. And why not have a different perspective? They're definitely not going to be the same.

Spoiler alert My favorite episode is #19, Love & War. The older brother Bruce is back from the Vietnam war, and at one point, he takes Dean to go see a dead comrade's parents. Later Bruce and Dean are talking, and he shows a picture of his friend and his little sister, Gwendolyn. Turns out to be Winnie. I like this reference.

Since it was on STARZ, I thought what the heck since I didn't have to pay for it at the theaters and waste my time. It took me about three days to watch. The first day, I watched it to see if I would be interested in finishing it. I was a little intrigued. I liked how the Townsend Agency has gone global since if I recall, when they were in Hawaii for the last season, I think they only had offices in Los Angels, Honolulu, and Milan? A few days later I watched it some more and was...meh...and I rarely use that word. Another few days later and I just finished it....well, I started watching it and it has some clever points like the mind, body and soul guy, the different offices, the other "angels" that help along the way.

However, read a few mainstream reviews, and rewatched it because I think I fell asleep through part of it. The story could've been stronger and considering Banks wrote, directed and starred, more star power in the angels...she could've cast someone from Pitch Perfect. There had to be a stronger chemistry between the three angels. Who knows, maybe a second one could be better....stranger things have happened.

What I really liked, and what they could've really developed a story within a story, was when Kelly Garrett appeared, and whom I assume is running the agency. But just think if the story made stronger references to the angels who came before and had them more involved. This would've given it more mass appeal because the fans of yore would flock to go see it. Not enough character development for the audience to connect with, although I kinda liked Kristin Stewart's Sabina, who was always hungry.

Again, too bad the plot was weak because it could've been soooooo good!

This is one of those ABC movies of the week that I remember watching with my family, so it brings a sense of nostalgia when I watched it. Donna Mills is hot! She does a great job with the character! I like the police calls that she makes her son remember, what a great idea! The physical part is plausible because I've worked with some small women who are amazing akido athletes, and it makes you think twice.

William Devane's character is interesting! How he picks his victims is something that could be done, so that is a little disturbing. The 70s style of cars and clothes is cool to see. Interesting that both Mills and Devane would work together again in Knots Landing as lovers and enemies.

It's not Emmy or Oscar worthy, but worth watching on a rainy day!

I was just flipping through the stations and stumbled upon this movie. The title seemed interesting since it is a topic that applies to today's teens. There are a few moments where the actors actually care about their work. A better script and storyline would've made a difference. Luckily the young actors will still have a chance to continue.

It's a shame that Daryl Hannah has been reduced to this, and what happened to her face??? The end is purely laughable since you can clearly see she's not choking Emily. I only continued to watch it because I wanted to know who the person was that hacked into Cat's phone and computer. It was also sad to see who I believe was Tim Russ and Holly Robinson Peete (3/2/14 I was looking for something else and just realized Russ was listed and I mistook Rachel True for Peete) in supporting roles, but are not listed in the credits. I guess I wouldn't either if I was in this awful movie. Don't even bother watching if you see it. You'll waste two hours of your life!

I just watched the pilot. There are some strong points, but there should be some reference to her origin than just some ancient Greek artifacts in her office. I like the name of the company, Themyscira, but not the fact that the public knows who she is. I felt her costume had too much cleavage, I mean, Etta said it herself, "Wonder Woman is not vulgar." And if WW is suppose to be ageless, she would be a little more mature about things.

It was okay, but could've been better. David E. Kelly is mostly known for Boston Public and the dramedy Ally McBeal. This show needed someone who is familiar with the genre and WW. I didn't care for the visible jet, nor the lasso that really doesn't do much, I mean, why did she have to torture the guy for the info, couldn't the lasso make him tell the truth??? So yeah, there's problems and I can see why it didn't make it to the fall schedule. Maybe SyFy could pick it up and retool it.

I felt Elizabeth Hurley made a very hot villain! And the bullets/bracelets scene was pretty good. But I understand there may be a film in the works. Hopefully, they get it right. For now, just watch the full length animated movie. That one is pretty good!

This has to be one of the coolest movies ever made for t.v. The plot, the plot twists! I wish there was a sequel so we find out how Sophia and the rest of the "bella mafia" kills the others responsible. Does Moyra, "He's so old," marry Vito Giancamo? What happens to Rosa and Michael? Kinski was the perfect actress to be cast for this film. As was Redgrave. I especially like her during the cooking scene in the Corolla house, "There's more..." as they drug Luka.

The script is smart and the dialog well written. I kinda felt like there was some relation to real world cosmic thing, when Luka comes back to his "mi mama." Teresa needed to be given the chance to show how business savvy she was. Moyra was the comic relief. I especially like the end when Sophia, Teresa, and Graziella do a final toast with one of the mafia guys (I can't remember his name). It is so funny how sweet they are. Love this movie!!! I wish it would come out on DVD soon.
