The Americans Show Review


The Americans is a fantastic spy drama show that ran from 2013 to 2018.

Alright, I finished binge watching this show a little while ago, and I have to say, The Americans, is fantastic!
The Americans follow Philip (Matthew Rhys) and Elizabeth (Keri Russell) Jennings as they act as spies for the KGB in the 80's. They have been in the US for many years and have kids, and a regular business. Their operations are going well, but a little speed bump comes in, in the form of an FBI agent named Stan (Noah Emmerich) moving in right across from them. Can they befriend this FBI agent, and keep up their activities as KGB operatives? Watch and find out!
Okay so first off I want to state that this show is amazing! It has great tension, drama, acting, and cinematography. I was a little hesitant to watch at first, but I'm sure as hell glad that I did! The Americans grabs you and pulls you in for the ride of this show and it never lets go, from minute one. I was so impressed with even the Pilot of the series, to the very end of the show.
Matthew Rhys and Keri Russell are amazing and I really have to give applause to these two actors for their brilliant performances in The Americans.
The actual spying parts in this show really get you going, and from what Iv'e heard, it's somewhat realistic. Well they dramatize things of course, but they ground it enough in reality, that it makes you think that it could actually happen.
I truly love this show and I'm sad to see the end, it was great, and I will miss the characters, but I'm glad that I got the chance to see the show in the first place.
If you like spy movies, good dramas, great characters, and strong performances, then The Americans is a must watch show and you're crazy if you don't see it!


final score: 4.8/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi...

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review

Dora and the Lost City of Gold Movie Review This Was My Dad's Idea Well... I went and saw Dora and the Lost City of Gold today with my dad, and... the film was a lot funnier than it has any right to be. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is a live action adaptation of the Dora tv show on Nickelodeon. Dora, now a teenager, is sent to the City to live with her cousin, Diego, while her parents go exploring for a lost City. When her parents go missing, Dora and her new friends go and search for her parents. I can't believe I'm going to say this, but the movie wasn't half bad. There is a ton of tongue and cheek humor. There is some cringe to the Dora and the Lost City of Gold too, but remember, this is a movie made for kids. As a kids film, it does a fine job. The acting was fine, and for a kids film, everyone did alright. Isabela Moner, who played Dora, did a good job portraying the character from what I remember about the show when I was very young. What surprised...

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review

Penny Dreadful City Of Angels Season 1 Episode 1 Review  Had To Think About This One A Bit If you haven't noticed, I'm a fan of Penny Dreadful . I did address my early thoughts on the new series a little while ago , and now that it's out, I thought I would give my thoughts on the first episode. For the description I'm going to quote IMDB , " Los Angeles, 1938. LAPD detective Tiago Vega and his partner, Lewis Michener, investigate a murder. While at City Hall, Tiago's activist brother Raul Vega battles with the fiery Councilman Charlton Townsend over the construction of California's first freeway. Meanwhile, Peter Craft, the head of the German-American Bun, meets Elsa, the mysterious mother of one of his patients. Sensing danger, Tiago's mother Maria pleads with Santa Muerte to protect her family as the rising tensions in the city threaten to explode." From what I've seen from other reviewers has been very mixed. And here's my two...
