Equalizer, Equalizer 2 and Equalizer the TV series

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 ser...

“What are you going to do? Everything, is my guess. It will be a little messy, but embrace the mess.

Today, I noticed the bit players' other lines that I never noticed, rather, heard before.  I heard them before, I'm sure, but maybe in one ear and out the other. I even appreciated Becky(Rosie O'Donnel), Annie's best friend more. Sigh. I am just feeling a bit morose today and somehow this movie is helping to lighten up my mood. “Abo...

While You Were Sleeping (1995)

Sigh. I guess I'm just so cheesy. I'm such a sucker for this movie because I think I've seen this more than fifty times and I still get giddy and excited.  Being in love with love makes me feel like I'm high above the clouds.  Bill Pullman during his prime surely melted a lady's heart.  The story of Jack and Lucy is truly unforgettable.  Jack's family is also one of the best there is.  I can watch this over and over and over and over and over again.  It's not a thinkers' movie, OK? It's a movie that makes you light inside.  Reviews?
