One on One (1977)
The Best Ever Basketball Movie
A beautiful movie made with such quality and moving screenplay that no other, in my opinion, has never been able to surpass it.... It is about persisting, it is about believing, it is about winning no matter what and being patient and disciplined to achieve the chosen goal and accomplishing against every obstacle that the lead character encounters. A very well chosen last name for the character who is unbreakable and indestructible as steel...The basketball scenes were beautifully and delightfully executed and the music chosen for the movie were perfect illustrating and effecting each scene's purpose directed to the audience. Robbie Benson and Annette O'toole were exceptionally outstanding. My favorite basketball movie.
Why Women Kill (2019)
Every Actor is Great
A "Desperate Everyone" show series; an incredible comedic situational series with exceptional talented actors that probably weren't all nominated because of the COVID Pandemic season...I strongly recommend it; very witty, with funny developing and unexpected surprising endings. It is very well done, with perfect background music and each episode incredibly written."It's a glorious thing you've done tonight..." Mary Elizabeth Hamilton, the creator is a gifted writer that brought to life different stories full of funny happenings with intertwined drama very well executed. A season three MUST be created and in place. I wish and hope it happens. We need immaculate entertaining shows like this specially in today's entertainment world where every show is full of unnecessary violence and bad taste sex scenes.
I am praying for a finalized end of the actors and writers strike so we can get more quality, great shows like this.
Poker Face (2023)
Brilliant and entertaining.
A very entertaining television series. Natasha Lyonne does it again! Every television series she
performs in is superb and shows her long acting skillful experience ( since a teenager workin together in a movie with Alan Rankin , the TV series Orange is the New Black and the other other one working with our family friend Charlie Barnett). The story in every episode is complicated but superbly written and very well performed. I love the fact that every episode is different and very well entwined with the main character's mission. The music is very well chosen and in the lyrics in tune with the plot of each episode. There are actors in each of the episodes that are very well know and new actors are super talented. There is drama and there is comedy very well performed and written. An Emmy nomination for sure.
Kaleidoscope (2023)
Entertaining Romantic Violence
A very well done television series show with great actors. Esposito and Paz Vega are extraordinary and the story's plot was exposed with each episode standing each on their own in such a remarkable way that everything comes together in the last episode. The relationships developed between characters are very well shown. There is romance, friendship, violence and the music was very well chosen for each scene. An ingeniously made movie. I predict Emmy nominations for the movie as well as most of the actors in it. I totally binged watching it, I just could not stop and continued to see it until the end. I totally recommend it.
Blonde (2022)
Better title is BOOBS not BLONDE
A probably Golden Globes nomination for Ana de Armas. There's fiction for sure since Google has true facts about of relationships of some of the characters...There's a lot of unnecessary scenes that shouldn't be there; there are other creative ways to expose the life of a celebrity without showing so much crudeness...Again, a great portrayal of Ms. De Armas, specially her diction and mannerisms of Marylin Monroe. The end of the movie should have been more elaborate with a better message to the audience. I would like to commend Adrian Brody for great work acting as Arthur Miller. I could be wrong but I expected more artistry from Bobbie Cannavale, his Joe Dimmagio was just ok...
Man Down (2015)
A Stepped Up for Shia
Great performance by Mr. LaBeouf. Whoever sees this movie will be moved and will realize the effects of war and mental disease in war veterans. A movie to be seen from beginning to end...I guess critics and film award nominators missed it....
Encanto (2021)
Excellent Story of True Enchantment
A wonderful story, screenplay and colorful film for adults as well as children. The music and lyrics by Lin Manuel Miranda completes and makes the story alive with musical color and true message intended. A masterpiece that in my book will be nominated for an animation and music Oscar.
Devs (2020)
Cause and effect...
A great story as a tv series which is very entertaining full of very good actors with two best of all: Nick and Allison. They are the pillars of the story with a great plot, and a few slow scenes that sometimes are confusing. Most of it is very original and interesting. It will take greater brilliance in the mind to write a better Season Two....
Mr. Corman: Hope You Feel Better (2021)
Stay Safe
Hope You Feel Good(Sep 17,2021):
Excellent writing in this episode and very well demonstrated the times we were and going thru.
Up to now that I've seen no one has come up with something so real like the happenings in this episode. JGL should get an Emmy for the writing and his acting...
This show is exceptional.
Mr. Mercedes (2017)
A different, twisted, entertaining show
Mr Mercedes is a super entertaining show, different, original and twisted.
All the actors are incredibly talented;
the regulars and most supporting cast.
Mr Gleason is a Master in his craft and Justine Lupe came up with a whimsical, expressive character that drives you crazy and delights you at the same time. I just cannot wait for Season 3!
I bought Season 1....yes!
The Brass Teapot (2012)
The Power to Choose
The acting is fabulous. The plot is incredible. A story with all aspects of human emotion. The message of all messages in the story of this movie. The power to choose, the will of man and the triumph of love for good to be done to others and to yourself. The music is also special and incredibly well placed and chosen. A must see.
Trauma Center (2019)
Traumatized Acting
Is it early dementia for Mr. Willis?
This is his worst one...a lefthanded punching trying to be funny cop!....
Ms Rambo Whelan did a pretty good job!
Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (2020)
Very entertaining
A select group of actors who did a wonderful job. A constant war between good and evil projected into the tv screen. One particular and special actress is the extraordinary Adriana Barraza whose strength and experience as an actress in mexican and american movies and tv series have given her the solid base to portray the incredibly character of Maria; she shows the ability and skill to play this and other types and levels of all different and kinds of characters. Lane & Zovato are also a dynamic duo who keep the audience interested all throughout the episodes series. A very entertaining work of art.
Unbelievable (2019)
The Dynamic Female True Detective
Weber & Collette did a fantastic job and the writers are to be commended;
the screenplay it was wonderfully written. This show is a must see and not to miss. There will be Emmy nominations for sure!
Rocketman (2019)
Elton Personified
Taron Egerton is Elton John in Rocketman. A remarkable and extraordinary musical theater style and dramatic role in film. His voice, mannerism and the use of his own singing voice applied to every Elton John and Bernie Taupin's songs rendition was fantastic and out of the box. A super entertaining film that makes you feel you're on Broadway watching a musical theatrical play.
Stan & Ollie (2018)
Entertaining and impressive
A beautiful movie that captures the art of Laurel & Hardy and the emotions of true comradery, friendship and the true life together of Stan & Ollie. I totally commend the work of Coogan & Reilly for interpreting and doing art exceptionally and extraordinary.
New Amsterdam: Croaklahoma (2019)
A great character
A very moving episode. Very well done.
Special mention of the character Carl Jimenez, a very caring and full of emotion patient advocate. This character and the actor, Frankie J. Alvarez should come back in other episodes; the developing of this character should be placed as a regular in the show.

Rockaway (2017)
A way to send a much needed message
Rockaway, a 2017 film with a strong message regarding domestic abuse and long lasting, endless friendships. Very well performed with exceptional scenes paired with great background music.
A film for everyone, delivering an important lesson for today's family.
Maniac (2018)
Brilliant screenplay performed by true talent
A different but entertaining tv series that forces you to binge when the plot is unique and most episodes are delightfully confusing. Jonah and Emma intertwined in harmony and develop very well their characters with each increasing episode.I see definitely nominations and a Emmy or Emmies in the upcoming future show.
