La Linea - The Line, a review by Silence_of_Lambs

Summary:
While the old boss (Andy Garcia) is terminally ill, the new kingpin (Esai Morales) of a Tijuana drug cartel is trying to open a new supply chain from the Taliban. The CIA gets to know this and sends an assassin for elimination.

My Thoughts:
The movie is as confusing as the summary promises.
For about the first half of the movie I was wondering where it wanted to take me, the other half I wasn't interested anymore.
It seems to be a crude mix-up of pseudo-intellectual post-traumatic-stress-recovery, thriller, action, whatever ...
The shoot-out sequences at least have a nice choreography but they don't fit in, the characters are thrown into the story without any background (except for the character of Ray Liotta), the script gives them implausible activities. The whole plot has holes as wide as Minnesota.

Avoid this

My Rating: (out of possible 5)

My PILOT Marathon, a review by Rich

Roseanne - Season One

Life and Stuff
Roseanne and Dan clash over how to divide the household responsibilities. Roseanne deals with her daughter, Darlene, barking in class.



In 1988, it exploded on to TV full of unprecedented honesty, attitude and flat-out hilarity. In this ground-breaking first season, meet the working-class Conners of Landford, Illinois.

A show that you can pick up at any point or watch wherever in any season, it was great to revisit the first ever episode, and note the humour, the good vibe of the show, and all the characters that did not change a great deal right through the 9 season run. Seeing the kids at such a young age was a good reminder of how long this successful show ran for.
This 1st episode did not feel like a pilot, the elements that made this show a success were evident from the first joke Roseanne made.
Good show, who's humour works well in UK as well as the States.
