*Sorry if the tags on this post are wrong. Blogger being weird.
I've decided to stick with T.V. Shows today. Thought it would be something I could get through a little more quickly. For the most part, I plan to only watch the first one or two episodes.
Grantchester: This feels like a much more subdued Father Brown. I'm a little confused by the lead character. Is he a Catholic priest or... whatever it's called for the Church of England? Is he supposed to be with a woman? I feel like not, but it doesn't look like he cares if anyone notices. (Googled it; he's an Anglican vicar and can most defiantly get married.) Then why is the woman he's with marrying another man? In conclusion: this is a very subdued Father Brown, not sure if I like it 6/10.
This "What the Dickens?!" business needs to stop.
Hans Christian Anderson: Lead, a grown ass man, abandons a dying man in his house to go to a parade. F*ck no. 0/10
His Dark Materials: Saving this one for a later post.
Homecoming: I'm telling you right now. It's the government. It's always the government. 0/10
Jane Eyre (2006 series): Is this Jane Eyre or The Secret Garden? Nope- most def Jane Eyre. I think I've seen this version before. They really upped the violence in this one. No, seriously, this version of the aunt makes the evil stepmother in Cinderella look empathetic. A bit too heavy handed for me. 2/10
Little Dorrit: I've seen this before. Pretty typical Charles Dickens. Costumes are good though. 7/10
Little Women (PBS series): Makes the 2019 version look even more like sh*t. Would give more points, but I still hate Beth and she's still alive after the first episode. 9/10
Middlemarch: Ohhh I've tried to watch this before. NOOOO IT'S GEORGE ELLIOT! 0/10
Midsommer Murders and Murder, She Wrote: Technically next on my list, but I've seen them both before and I just love them! 10/10
Ordeal by Innocence: I have watch the first episode of this. Reminds me a little too much of the ABC Murders and not The Pale Horse. I know some of the siblings are adopted, but they grew up together. So why does one of the brothers sound like he lives at a cockney shipyard? (I'm American so I don't know if that's racist or not.) Also, it's a bit odd, but I've seen about everything that Matthew Goode has been in. And my god, I thought the aunt in Jane Eyre was over the top... Goode's character is completely off the charts. 5/10
Ren: Ren is fantastic! I first saw it as a Youtube mini series. I just wish there were more episodes. They had been working on one, but I'm not sure if the funding worked out. It's a great fantasy mini-mini series. And when I say mini, I mean mini. All of the episodes add up to about an hour long watch. Very Legend of the Seeker meets Outpost. 10/10
Sense and Sensibility (1981 series): WOW! This is bad. It sounded like one of the sisters is called "Ellen"... and she looks like she's the same age as their mom. Marianne looks like she's about 13. Also what's with all the early 2000s eyeliner. Looks like they are about to go to an Avril Lavigne concert. 2/10
Tales of Little Women: Why? Because I'm trash. 10/10
AND FINALLY MY LAST SHOW!
Vikings: ...Someone else in my family has been watching this and I don't want to mess up where they are at. I guess I'll have to watch this on Netflix.
ON TO THE MOVIES:
The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher: I just want to get through this series again. I can't remember which ones are the good ones. I know I liked the first one.
Never mind- they are all bad. They need a main actor who doesn't look like muscle for the mob, especially with that accent. 2/10 (because I like this historical murder).
Dune: I cAn'T; it's soooooo bad. 0/10
Haunting Sarah: I can't begin to tell you how skeptical I am of this one. We shall see.
I was right. 1/10 (because I think I could watch it drunk.)
Imaginary Friend: UMMMM I frickin love this movie! It's got Gretchen from Mean Girls, so an instant Lifetime Movie Classic. It actually has a pretty good twist to it too. 9/10
Jack the Ripper; London Slasher: If this is dumb, I'm going to just move on.
John Tucker Must Die: YASSS. I love this movie! I actually dated a John Tucker in high school... yeah I was the bitchy one that looks like Katherine Heigl. I'm a little disappointed by what happened to the guy who plays John Tucker. He's become the angry sort of Christian. Doesn't really matter; he'll go down in history for this movie. 10/10
