Director: Francis Ford Copolla His 10th Movie My 13th movie watched from the directorThis is a movie full of young actors who basically ALL went on to become big-name actors. It's pretty entertaining to see them all so young, but that was sort of a distraction from the West Side Story meets Gone With the Wind movie. It is too melodramatic for my taste. It's also a strange choice for Coppola. It's a pretty erratic director. Considered one of the greats, but has more mediocre or bad movies than good ones. To be nicer, I would say if I had seen this as a kid I bet I would have really liked it and by this point it would still be a movie I like because of the nostalgia factor. And finally, I'm not saying it's bad, it's a solid six.Added to Lists: Top Ten Films - Francis Ford Coppola Impressive Casts Before They Were Big __________ Locations: Tulsa, OK, USA

Season 2
I still liked this Spanish prison drama, still paced really well and full of interesting characters; but it falls into the trap of forcing the characters to fall into scenarios that keep them where the show started and is starting to feel dragged out, certainly no "Prison Escape" dragging out ridiculous, but worried it could get there... ---------- Main Locations: Cruz del Sur Prison (Fictional) outside of Madrid, Spain

Director: Paul Schrader His 2nd Movie My 8th movie watched from the directorThis movie came out exactly thirty years before "Taken" and shares so many similarities. They are both very entertaining, but this one is far less violent. The ending was also quite a different tone... I don't want to spoil what happens. As with Neeson, this happens to be one of George C. Scott's best roles as it really showcases his range and asks him to go outside his previous reputation.Added to Lists: Top Ten Films - Paul Schrader Top Ten Performances - George C.

Season 3 (Final Season)
I respect them ending this one when they wanted to, but damn I wish this one went for one more season. The writing is incredible and Gervais really brings his acting A game. Likely his best performance. The supporting cast really comes together in this and the story wraps so nicely. I really effected me and had me weeping at the end. That rarely happens to me for any show, especially a comedy.

Director: Adil El Arbi & Bilall Fallah Their 4th Movie My 1st movie watched from the directorsIf I had watched this pre 'slap' maybe I could have tolerated it more, but Smith's image continues to taint anything he is. I used to love his movies. Anyway, Lawrence is still likable and the supporting cast is all right. The action is fine and the setting continues to be a highlight. The writing is the worst part, much like the second one, and I will actually say I think Bay would have definitely done a better job with this movie. They tried to make it emotional but I just never got to that place with this one.Added to Lists: The Third Movie of the Trilogy: Ranked __________ Locations: Miami, FL, USA

Season 4 (Final Season)
This final season wasn't given a proper finale. It's a really strong show and the final season had plenty of strong moments, but it was clearly rushed and obviously need a few more episodes to have a worthy final season. I don't read up about shows, but it seems like this one was popular so I'm not sure why the bloated Amazon couldn't spare a few more to give its audience what it wants. Anyway, the story is good but not as complex as previous seasons. The characters seemed like they were being built up for more seasons. Okay, I'm back to it not being enough. Not enough seasons, too. I liked Michael Pena being a feature in this season, but I couldn't quite buy him as such a badass. Also, I missed the humorous banter between the characters, not as much in this season.

Director: Chad Stahelski His 3rd Movie My 3rd movie watched from the directorA slight improvement from the second one. The stunts, gunplay, and production design remain strong and the highlights. The supporting cast was a little stronger in this one, too. I really like then how the world expanded without feeling too outlandish.Added to Lists: The Third Movie of the Trilogy: Ranked __________ Locations: Manhattan, NYC, NY, USA; Western Sahara; Casablanca, Morocco
