Knightfall (2017)
Fun to watch if you make it past the first episode
The first episode is not the best. Too many characters, nothing explained, King Arthur's grail? But by the end of Episode 3, I was hooked. The plot moves quickly with action, intrigue, a mystery to solve, medieval France (set a bit earlier than Braveheart), so pretty fun and entertaining. This show is not deep and the "twists" are easy to see coming. But the actors really sell it and the sets are great. And I like that all the main characters have lots of "gray", not all good, not all bad. I'm a sucker for historical shows so looking forward to finishing the season!
My Life in Ruins (2009)
I want to go to Greece now!
A charmer! I thoroughly enjoyed this movie which was everything I expected and wanted it to be and is one of the better romantic comedies I have seen in the last few years. Stunning scenes of Greece, quirky likable characters (especially Richard Dreyfuss as Irv), the gorgeous Alexis Georgoulis, and the stunning Nia Vardalos who had great chemistry together. This film has many laugh out loud funny moments and many truly endearing ones. A total treat. I wanted to book a trip to Greece right away! We had to wait awhile for Nia Vardalas' follow-up to "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" but it was worth the wait. The audience I watched with clapped at the end and you will too.
