Outmatched (2020)
Love it
This show has it all. Cast is superb, jokes top notch. Some jokes are actually so funny one can understand the show has rather bad ratings as viewers in USA are just too touchy-feely for this comedy gem.
Adult Life Skills (2016)
A lovely little gem
First of all I am not a native speaker.
Well. I must say I have fallen in love with this movie. It's one of those beautifully crafted little gems that have heart and depth and just make you smile and also cry a little bit. Sure, there are other (more ambitious) movies out there tackling the same theme - going through life, losing and finding and coping and surviving and not being alone - but I just love the simplicity and kind of raw honesty of this one.
Anyway, to sum it up - characters are quirky and lovable, dialogues smart and funny and I can only recommend this movie if you are in a mood for something slow yet uplifting.
The Pirate Fairy (2014)
Loved it
Not even sure why I ended up watching this movie but as I like animated movies I gave it a try. Yep, it's meant to be for kids but ... but I just loved it. It's one of those feel good movies. It's funny, witty and just cute ;) Characters are excellent (even those mean pirates), animation and music is top notch as well with kind of old-school feeling. And voice casting is just lovely :) I will probably even check out some other stories from the "fairy" universe. As I am from Czech Republic I do not know much about Peter Pan and Tinker Bell as those characters aren't so famous in my country. Anyway I am giving 10/10 and I recommend this movie to anyone who is 2+ or just in mood for little bit of childish fun ;)
Jack Reacher (2012)
Tom Cruise just is not Jack Reacher
First of all I am not a native speaker :) Being a big fan of book series I went to see this movie with some doubts about Tom Cruise being cast as the main character and I am sorry to say I was right. While Tom is a good actor he just is not Jack Reacher material. I kind of felt sorry for him. He made Jack look kind of sad, weak, somewhat lost etc. And he was just talking too much. I've imagined Jack as solitary no-nonsense man , strong and self assured and I just did not see those qualities in Cruise. It kind of ruined this movie for me. They should have cast Ray Stevenson instead ( http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0829032/ ) That would be Jack Reacher I could buy ;)
Nim's Island (2008)
Lovely family movie ;)
I really liked this one.
Of course you have to watch it through eyes of 12 years old kid but if you manage that - then you realize what wonderful and magical movie it is.
Personally I would skip the Buccaneer part and focused more on characters and their reunion but on other hand there was a message hidden - how people spoil everything and turn a paradise into a product.
To sum it up - Abigail (Nim) is cute and lovable kid, Jodie (Alex) beautiful and funny at the same time and Gerard (Jack) is just great as usual. I actually expected him to kick the shark screaming "This is Sparta" ;))) (Not really I just love 300 as well).
Anyway 8 of 10 from me.
