First things first. I don't know if we have anyone as awesome as Tom Cruise in Hollywood. He is badass. He delivered. He's a superstar. Did somebody say he's 60!?!

Top Gun Maverick is supersonic. You can't get bored watching it, you'll have your mouth gaping open one minute and will be crying real tears the next. This movie is everything I remember movies were in my childhood/adolescence: the actors were heroes, the action felt real, the effects were not CGI overload, and music was just right. Top Gun Maverick delivers in every aspect, actors are awesome all of them filled in their parts so well, the excitement is there, magnificent stunning flight sequences, flawless directing, fun, camaraderie, jokes, breathtaking visuals. I absolutely loved this movie, it's up there with the best of the best in action genre. I'm not sure they can ever top it with another Top Gun but I think they shouldn't even try. Just leave it as intended an homage to the directing of the past, where action and fun were more important than compromising with political correctness police. This movie is raw, as in didn't feel like they tried to social engineer the audience, you get what you see. It's entertainment at its best. I won't get into details, reveal what the movie is about all I will say is - just watch it. 10/10 absolutely.

I have just one comment. Why is a movie founded on a lie such a huge success and even nominated for an Oscar? Alan Turing was not the first guy to crack the code. He and others at Bletchley Park were merely the smart folks who used Polish groundbreaking cryptography methods to tackle Enigma. Turing is portrayed here as a hero and the success as solely his, all according to the sneaky writers of The Imitation Game. Did they forget to carry out a proper research or was their mission to undermine Polish part a deliberate thing? Brits often forget about their 2WW allies, ascribing all the war effort success to themselves. But hey, even 'bletchleyparkorg', the official website, says "The Poles broke Enigma in 1932"...In 1939 with the invasion on Poland imminent the Poles reached out to Britons for help and thus Bletchley Park became the centre where cryptographers were unscrambling the code. See "The Imitation Game' - Success Has Many Fathers..." a review by Witold Sobkôw

Get your facts straight people.

This show does not disappoint. It is so well done that you might forget you're watching a TV drama not real life events. The characters are believable, powerfully drawn, but the undeniable star of the show is Maxine Peake - her performance just superb! As Martha Costello she is everything that you'd imagine a superior barrister to be. Can't get enough of her credible acting to be honest. The rest of the cast deserves a praise too because it is thanks to them that this BBC drama is so uniquely authentic. Filmed in London (I think), it depicts daily life at Shoe Lane chambers and the work of British barristers, clerks and solicitors. I am professionally interested in law and find it hard to point out any flaws in how "Silk" presents the legal crowd in London. I do see a difference between an American show of this kind and a British one. The former tends to be focused on achievements, career and quirks of personality and the latter...hmmm...basically on the job, meaning you get a believable picture of the life at the chambers. If you're into this sort of thing just see for yourself, you won't be disappointed.
