Monk: Mr. Monk and the Kid (2005)
Beautiful storyline, love conquers
This was a beautiful storyline, that shows Monk as a father figure to a 2 year old boy, named Tommy. For once, the show didn't focus on Monk's OCD, in fact I don't think he asked for a wipe once, and it showed that love could help him, not overcome, but certainly help with his OCD and other phobias. It is also probably why Trudy was such a big help to him, and he became helpless when she died.
I enjoyed this episode because it showed us a side to Monk that hasn't been shown before and it was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. One of my favourite episodes of the series and certainly memorable.
New Amsterdam: What the Heart Wants (2019)
Thankyou
Thankyou for making such a realistic episode in regards to stillbirth. It is such a common occurrence (1 in 6 babies are stillborn every day). I went through this 10 years ago with our first born son. It is such a taboo subject and I think New Amsterdam handled it really well.
The Resident: Total Eclipse of the Heart (2018)
Heart stopper
This episode had me on the edge of my seat, heart pounding, not sure if the bad guys were going to get away with it. The twists and the ending were brilliant.
WandaVision (2021)
Confusing for non Marvel fans
I liked this series but too often was I confused by what was happening on screen. I'm not a Marvel fan, but I watched it because everyone said it was a great show. It would have been better to maybe explain more through the show for non Marvel fans. I think I would have enjoyed it more if this was the case.
The acting was great and I liked the sitcom based ones. That made it more enjoyable.
The Passion of the Christ (2004)
Jesus suffered all for love
I have been brought up for most of my life in the church, but didn't really understand what Jesus suffered until I watched this movie about a year ago because in the Bible it doesn't really explain what happened, just that he was flogged and crucified. I have watched it just recently a second time, with perhaps more understanding of the whole story. This movie is a really powerful movie, which sticks to pretty much what the four gospels say. I also don't think it is anti-Semetic because what happens in this movie is in the Bible. The thing I don't like about this movie is the use of Satan. I don't think it was necessary for Satan to be depicted at all. Also, the fact that Mary Magdalene was depicted as the unknown prostitute was something I disagreed with, because she is mentioned in the Bible as the woman who Jesus rid of demons. Sometimes this movie is painful to watch, not just as a Christian but as a person in general. To see an innocent man suffer so much pain and suffering and not feel something, would be wrong. Yes, at times it can be violent, yes, at times it can be frightening, and if you don't like the sight of blood, then you really shouldn't watch the movie but it shows how an innocent man suffered for his people and did it all for love. The acting in this movie is absolutely brilliant, because they make you feel for the characters, feel the pain and the fear, even Pilate, who didn't want to kill an innocent man. Though Jesus did suffer under him, because if he hadn't been flogged, then he wouldn't have suffered as much. The actors in this movie have made the characters depicted real and for any one who needs their faith renewed, I highly recommend this movie.
