  • Accent on Accents

    Aside from the glacially slow pace of this yawner, Cadet E. A. Poe's accent is decidedly southern yet Poe was born in the north, in Massachusetts, and to the best of my knowledge did not spend any significant time in the south, so I am puzzled as to why it was decided that Mr. Poe would sport a bad Georgia/ South Carolina accent.

    And the esteemed actor Toby Jones, whom I loved in the Detectorists, affected an accent that can best be described as "somewhat American". Maybe he was told by the director to "just try something American but with a slight Brit accent". It's confusing, almost dismissive. Makes me feel better about Dick Van Dyke's accent in Mary Poppins.

    Moreover, the stilted manner of speech throughout the movie reminded me of those letters written home by Confederate soldiers; quite a few were uneducated yet capable of composing letters worthy of an A in any high school drama class.

    But my compliments to the actor previously known as Dernsley in the Harry Potter movies. Capturing the elusive bad Georgian/ South Carolinian accent is no small feat. The language tutor was only available for an hour?

    Finally, I have to remind the costume department that West Point cadets were issued winter capes amd were not expected to endure the harsh West Point winters in summer weight uniforms.

  • The Valet

    Okay, I will admit I fully expected to hate this movie. Honestly, I had just watched "The Gentlemen" and needed something less intense and found this one. I have a little something for Betsy Brandt (sp) from Life in Pieces and figured I like what's his name from New Girl so... This show is so sweet, so well written and acted that there was a prequel or sequel I'd be the first in line to see it. Sure, there are some subtitles and even though I speak Spanish, I was grateful for them because the rapid fire exchanges between the four valets are hilarious. The gentleman whom portrayed Mr. Flores was excellent; so well played, so believably sincere that I genuinely wept.

    Watch it for yourself.

  • WTH Happened?

    If I were Tom Middleditch, I'd sue Chuck Lorre and the network for taking a lame premise like kidney failure and handing the show over to a brash, out Broadway actor and making it even worse, if that was even possible. Cancel this loser.
