I am NOT a critic. I'm merely an observer. (Books, movies, plays, musicals etc.)

Just my two cents worth:   DENZEL WASHINGTON is one of my favourite actors, but I had a hard time accepting him as Mr. McCall ONLY BECAUSE I was an avid viewer of the Equalizer TV series from 1985 to 1989.  In the series The Equalizer is played by EDWARD WOODWARD.  He places an ad in the newspaper  and simply calls himself "The Equalizer".  What is the ad about?  If people are in trouble and they need help, people should call him.  Of course, the gore is close to none in the TV series, but the 2014 and 2018 movies show a lot of blood and torture.  The 2014 movie is like a prequel before those ads.  Instead of the the newspaper, it becomes an online ad.    Dad preferred the 2018 movie over the 2014.  Both are blockbuster hits. RICHARD WENK wrote the screenplays for both movies and ANTOINE FUQUA directed both films. Since both movies have the blessing of MICHAEL SLOAN and RICHARD LINDHEIM, the creator of the series, then I guess it's perfectly alright for Mr. W

THE MOVIE Cast overview, first billed only: Julie Benz as Amanda/Mandy Michael Shank s as Master Sergeant James Mullins/Jim Kirsten Robek ... Victoria Toby Levins ... Craig Source Julie Benz and Michael Shanks This movie is very close to my heart. As a military brat I've seen a lot of my friends and neighbours lose a loved one or two because of war, ambushes, and other reasons, but I couldn't picture myself as never being a military brat.  It was hard during Martial Law because the other people seemed to not understand the sense of duty our fathers had for our country because most of the people thought that all of the military personnel, which included the Philippine Constabulary that time, were all cronies. Still, we were very proud of our fathers(and mothers). JULIE BENZ plays Amanda, a widow of a military officer who died while deployed overseas.  She is a very caring person, but she's afraid to take a chance again with Jim(MICHAEL SH

Source Written(Original Story by Carmi Raymundo.  She also wrote the screenplay with the great director and Gillian Ebreo) and Directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina Greenbelt 1 After watching this beautiful movie dad, who was the one who invited us to watch this, FYI, said, "It's a beautiful movie.  There were dragging parts and it's too long, but all in all it's a very beautiful movie." I can't say I disagree with him.  True, there were parts where I dozed off, but I believe that this is one of the best movies KATHRYN BERNARDO and DANIEL PADILLA ever starred in.  There are still glimpses of their young selves, because they are indeed still very young, but it is quite obvious that they have honed their craft.  They play a couple, George and Primo, who fall in love in college, but on their fifth year of being together, they fall apart, literally and figuratively.  Primo flies to Italy to be with his family, but after being silent for two whole

THE MOVIE Deep in our hearts when we make wrong decisions we wish those things didn't happen.  This movie is one of those which attempt to make us understand that our present would be changed if things in the past were changed or to be changed.  It's a chain reaction. I like this movie simply because NIKKI DELOACH and ANDREW WALKER are in it.  The supporting characters did their jobs well, and even if the granter of wishes was a tad annoying, I like her too.  It's a formulaic movie, but it's enjoyable, so I liked it. THE MOVIE When two type-A single parents battle it out for control of the Christmas holiday at their kid’s middle school, they get more than they bargained for when they learn a little something about the true meaning of Christmas, while opening themselves up for the possibility of a new romance.
