24: Legacy (2016)
Lacking, in writing, plot ,characters , innovation
Seems to be impossible to give a Spoiler Alert for this show as you seen it all before. Legacy is similar to original, same feel in a sense, but this seems like 24 the soap opera edition and poorly written soap with clichéd black character types. Lead as yet don't stand out. Had expected more innovation than poor imitation. It would be nice to see characters which went against the stereo-typical,here you know in advance, what they will say , how they will say it and you even know exactly how they will walk with attitude. Besides the writing being poor, it is mostly a rehash from the past easily anticipated. If this series is to survive the writers have to come up with clever dialogue to give the characters some depth,creative not rehashed diatribe we have seen so many times before.
Silence (2016)
A Torturous Journey
I cannot find anything to recommend this movie . A movie of repetitious torture and death brought about by two Portuguese priests bringing the Lord to the 17 th century Japanese . Big surprise despite tons of prayers and suffering tortures and death for God, He saves no one , but the intrepid priest ( Andrew Garfield )seems to think the next bunch he endows with Christianity will some how be saved from these indignities. Took twenty years for Scorsese to bring this to the screen , wow. Casablanca completed in 8-9 weeks great from start to finish with meaningful and beneficial sacrifice by the characters. Really I felt more tortured than the victims in this movie , it required real sacrifice for me to see it through to the end.
