Bull: But for the Grace (2018)
Very poor episode
A man pleads guilty to a minor crime only to be charged with manslaughter a week later. The only evidence presented by the prosecution is the guilty plea for assault. No medical evidence, no third party witnesses. The final straw for me was when they put the prosecutor on the stand for being ambitious. Terrible episode...
Pacific Rim (2013)
Another mindless action film
Too many plot holes. Too much talking. Too long. Difficult to see action sequences. Too many action movie clichés. I went to this movie with a bunch of friends and we all disliked it. While I have never walked out on a film I was very tempted to walk out of this one.
The worst part though was the flat interaction between most of the main characters. The two biggest offenders are Burn Gorman and Charlie Day who are inane as the squabbling experts. Even the introduction of Ron Perlman fails to ignite the screen as he phones in his part.
The only saving grace was Idris Elba, who plays the role of the Marshall with the same intensity as his TV character Luther.
Signs (2002)
Nice build up, but ending was silly
*** Spoilers ***
I looked forward to watching this film as I had enjoyed the directors previous two films. The film started off well but about halfway through it just got a bit silly to me. Here is a species that are able to travel to a distant world but are unable to get through a locked door! I also thought that if you are going to attack a planet you might choose one that is not 60% water when that is the substance that can kill you. My wife joked that they would not have gotten far in Ireland as it never stops raining here.
Pity about this movie. His other two were excellent.
