Movie and TV Reviews - April 2023

Short reviews of TV shows and movies we watched in April. 

Movies

  • Jurassic World: Dominion. The latest (and hopefully) last of the sequels to Jurassic Park. It started out well be went downhill pretty quickly. (Amazon Prime)
  • Cocaine Bear: One of those movies that are so bad it's almost good. Almost. At least it doesn't take itself seriously. (Amazon Prime)
  • Operation Fortune: Ruse De Guerre. A couple of weeks after watching this and I can't remember anything significant about it. I think I enjoyed it at the time. (Amazon Prime)

TV Shows

  • The Doctor Blake Mysteries (season 1): This Australian drama about a doctor who also serves as the police surgeon (basically a coroner) was very popular and I can understand why. The plots are fairly standard but the acting is top rate. (BritBox)
  • The Power: Young women develop the ability to produce electric shocks with their bodies and the world changes almost overnight. I've not read the book the series is based on, but the series is quite good. (Prime)
  • Perry Mason (season 2): The second season of this remake is quite a bit better than the first. The plotting is still somewhat implausible, but the recreation of 1930s Los Angeles is the best I've seen since Chinatown. (HBO)
