EarDelightBase Waste of Money.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
gilbert333 There is a lot wrong with this but there's also a lot right... I'm a big Edward Burns fan and I like what he did with this but you cannot compete with the other television shows now days without cliffhangers. The story was good, acting (from most) was good but there just wasn't enough to keep the viewer wanting more. Which would be th reason why it was renewed for a second season. It also copped a lot of criticism for its authenticity, though I had no problem with it I thought the set, clothes and cars seemed all pretty legit. This show isn't for everyone but if a 1960 tough, corrupt cop show appeals to you give this one a try.
kintoriwin This series is one I did not miss each week. Fine cast headed up by Edward Burns and Michael Rapaport. Supporting roles filled by excellent actors who fit their characters to a T. Multiple story lines that all worked. Excellent writing, so the dialogue is crisp and true. The show looks at the problems of policing vice, the "soft" crimes of human appetite and weakness that trouble every society. In 1960s New York, the approach was, keep it controlled and everybody does well, including vice cops. But then human appetite and weakness cause it all to begin to slip out of control, and we see the drama of cops and criminals trying right the balance so their comfortable but always dangerous worlds do not implode...in the process destroying their families and those they love.The final episode was the weakest of the ten, so I expect Burns didn't feel the need for a crash-bang ending to the fascinating first season. He'll pick up the story next year. If there is a next year, which I sincerely hope there is. Nothing on TV in the gritty, crime category is as compelling as "Public Morals.""Justified" ended last year, "Public Morals" fills the bill.
joyce_lawrence I was ten yrs old in 1962, 12 in 64, 14 in 66 - get the picture. I see so many in discrepancy in the background colors, the hair-dos, the cars, and especially the music. We were not wearing mini skirts in 1962! They arrived in 1965 along with Go-go boots! But, of course, I was on the west coast in California. There's a character with long hair! This did not happen until 1966 on the West Coast, let alone the East coast. Some music is 50s Sammy Davis, which is great, but some is 68 R&R. By the way, houses were not painted in turquoise! If anything, it would have been avocado, pimento and brown. But all walls were ivory unless a tenement. Sorry, but you need a real life 60's elder to give you some advice. Ed Burns, relinquish some control.
hotelmontsec so far so good. it starts off slowly, finding its legs, a bit too self conscious of getting it right, the era, the cars, the clothes - did a NY cop ever drive around in a VW beetle?! - but by ep 2 it is motoring along nicely. maybe a bit too close of a homage to the tom hanks paul newman gangster flick of a few years back but hey, its imitation is also sincere flattery. & any series that uses the great ronnie drew version of the parting glass has to be pretty sound. but oh edwards burns, the mis spelled whiskEy on the paddy's bottle.....ouch. enough to make my father, a loyal devotee, turn over 10 times................. looking forward to the next 6 episodes
