Rake (2010)
Good Fun
Rake is a pretty good show, I would describe it as good fun. It's not a hugely dramatic show or an example of the greatest acting or writing ever but it is a really fun show to watch and some of the episodes are just great.
The actor is a pretty talented guy. I think he is from Australia (or maybe from New Zealand) and some of the dark comedy in the show is great, he has good timing and does a great job of portraying the role of the titular "rake".
He is a lawyer who takes hopeless criminal cases for weird and over the top villains.
Spun Out (2014)
Tried To Like It
I tried really hard to like this movie and I really did want to be able to say that I liked it and that it is finally a good Canadian comedy series that is well made but I just can't do that because I would just be telling a lie.
This show is such a huge mess it is ridiculous, and an unfunny mess to boot. I don't even know where to begin about it since everything is so wrong.
The cast is the main thing, so many completely unfunny people telling jokes very poorly. The only recognizable one is Dave Foley (of Kids in the Hall fame) and he looks like he's probably embarrassed to be seen in this (and he should be). I hope he fires his agent and finds a new one that will get him in A Bug's Life 2.
Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
Good Not Great
Star Trek is a good movie but not a great one. I am not a big fan of Star Trek to be honest and even thought the TV shows were boring, except Enterprise which I thought was pretty good. Most Star Trek fans hate Enterprise though so that should tell you if you're a fan of the original and next generation series you and I probably won't agree anyway. I thought the 2009 Star Trek film was pretty good and this was at least as good. Great action and adventure. After Capt. Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise find an unstoppable one man weapon of universal destruction from within their own star fleet, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture him before it's too late. Even non fans like me will have an OK time at this movie, worth a watch.
