This show is disappointing. I really wanted to like NCIS: Tony and Ziva but I cannot. Why? For one, I am midway though episode three, and It is impossible to follow with the switching back between 2020 and 2025. Next, this is an ensemble show, when it really should have focused on Tony and Ziva: It basically has the same problem as the NCIS "Mothership" post Mark Harmon ( Gibbs), no standout character (which Gibbs was).

I do not hate the show, and I will keep watching maybe they can stop with the flashbacks, and I will like it better, but until then. I have to say it is a disappointment and give it 4/10 stars.

Our Man In Marrakesh aka Bang Bang Your Dead is a very disappointing movie. Why? It had beautiful women like Senta Berger ( Kyra Stanovy) and Margaret Lee ( Samia Voss) and an effective villain is Casmir ( Herbert Lom). The problems. 1: The producers added the comedy element to it: If it would have been a serious spy movie it would have been better. 2: Tony Randall as the lead. Randall is an actor that is best in small doses like The Odd Couple or The Art of Love. Anyway. 4/10 stars ( mostly for the ladies)

I was unsure about The Royal Family Of Broadway. Don't care for the Director George Cukor, not into stage type films, never saw Ina Claire before, but like John Barrymore in movies, since I read it was a satire of the Barrymore's I tried it.. My opinion: Flat out boring, and could not sit through the entire movie: I can understand why Ethel Barrymore hated this picture. As for the main star Ina Claire, she does absolutely nothing for me. Not pretty, overly sophisticated and has no energy. But to be fair, there is only one actress that could have made me like this movie; Irene Dunne ( not even personal favorites like Myrna Loy or Fay Wray). Why? She can be sophisticated and funny at the same time which was needed. 2/10 stars.
