Wendy Malik's role is nothing more than an extended cameo. Just an awful movie. Two middle aged men, too much golf and a whole lot of whining.

Shame on the studio for using Wendy to sell this really bad movie.

I had never heard of this show until I ordered it from Swapadvd.

Very very pleasantly surprised. A truly wholesome concept. The acting was really well done. Is it dated a bit, but still very relevant. No matter what I say here, still would not do it justice.

Do not expect high definition or incredible effects. Some lines are a little cheesy but overall it has an underlying theme we could all take for a spin, manners, empathy, kindness, respect, honesty and compassion.

It is a binge watch for sure and possibly addicting..

Handsome Canadian RCMP banished to the Canadian embassy in Chicago with his deaf wolf that saved his life.

Meet Chicago detective investigating the death of the Mounties father...they are soon to become best friends even though their styles are polar opposite..... :-)

Life in NYC in the mid nineties. Love and life before tech overload yet many of the same problems we all still face. They gave the viewer a lighter version instead of the real gritty reality of life. Was this approach so the viewer walked away with hope that even though we are human and aren't going to get everything right, somehow it really can be ok, life that is? Maybe. Husband, wife, daughters, infidelity, indecision, drugs, forgiveness. I liked it.

Thought provoking plot. Interactive hologram of your deceased loved one. Everyone can see and hear them, not just the person who ordered the service. The client programs them by sharing memories and stories. Interesting concept. The movie itself was really like a soft blanket on a rainy Sunday. Neither slow nor fast or annoying. Not profound or simple. I won't watch again but I don't regret having watched it.

My Dear Secretary
My Dear Secretary (2004)
Actors: Kirk Douglas, Gertrude Astor, Florence Bates
Release Year: 2004

This movie was super cute and witty. Kurt Douglas is a playboy writer with a very eccentric and funny neighbor/friend. Kurt's newest Secretary takes the job because she wants to meet influential people in publishing and become a writer herself....little does she know ...

It moves at a nice pace, entertaining and full of innuendo. :)

Penny Dreadful: Season 1 (2014)

This was very dark, literally and figuratively. Incredibly interesting take on the idea of penny dreadful stories. Very well told but very graphic and indeed very gory. Terrific acting and not terribly predictable. I would not watch twice but not unhappy that I watched it once.

The series was excellent but this movie was not. It is just as if everyone forgot how to act. The film quality made it feel like a movie and not the veronica series we all liked so much. The way Veronica came across seemed contrived....I was disappointed.

I found this movie had some really good chuckles. It is not Jim Carey's usual over the top, non-stop goofy characters. It was somewhat believable, and the story line was a cool concept. I can say 100% I really enjoyed him in this film. For me, this is a movie I would re-watch every now and then.
