As I am moving out, and the Internet connection is not going to be as good as it should be, I will not watch much films, and only have time to watch my tv series and comment on them each week.

Hilary and Jackie

I cannot imagine how hard it must be to be compared to a sister, all the pressure and competition. When Jackie said she wants to sleep with Hilary’s husband, just because they share everything, that was just devastating. Hilary finally allows her sister to do so. What a beautiful and extremely painful movie. She is sleeping with her sister’s husband and she is mad at her for sleeping with her own husband.

I’ve given you everything you’ve asked for. For everything you’ve asked for I said yes.

The truth is you’re not special.

She can’t possibly be Jewish, she’s blonde.

If you think that being an ordinary person is any easier than being an extraordinary one, you’re wrong.

7/10

The Hours

There was so much beautiful pain in this film.

It would be wonderful to say you regretted it. It would be easy. But what does it mean? What does it mean to regret when you have no choice? It’s what you can bear. There it is no one’s going to forgive me. It was death. I chose life.

There are times when you don’t belong and you think you’re going to kill yourself.

I remember one morning getting up at dawn, there was such a sense of possibility. You know, that feeling? And I remember thinking to myself: So, this is the beginning of happiness. This is where it starts. And of course there will always be more. It never occurred to me it wasn’t the beginning. It was happiness. It was the moment. Right then.

But I still have to face the hours.

Always giving the parties to kill the silence.

Would you be angry If I died? I think I’m only staying alive to satisfy you.

I’m saying that even crazy people like to be asked.

It is possible to die, if it is a choice between enrichment and death, I chose death.

You cannot find peace by avoiding life.

9/10

Carnage

Best film of the year and Jodie Foster, ladies and gentlemen, and that performance, enough said.

Why can’t things be easier? You know? Why does everything have to be so exhausting.

At least our kid isn’t a little wimpy ass faggot.

The truth is that nobody here cares.

I’m glad our son kicked the shit out of your son!

You’d known her 15 minutes and you already knew she was fake?

I saw your friend Jane Fonda on TV the other day. Made me wanna run out and buy a Ku Klux Klan poster.

I don’t have a sense of humour and I don’t want one!

She doesn’t care any more than you do.
Mmm, that’s true.

Don’t you tell me about Africa. I know all about suffering in Africa.

How could you be so openly despicable?
Because I feel like it. I fell like being openly despicable!

Zachary is not a maniac!
Yes, he is.

Nobody told you to listen to my conversation.
Well nobody said you should have it under my nose.

I got no patience for this touchy feely bullshit.

I am a short-tempered son of a bitch.
We all are.

She keeps calling me a doctor.

It could be the cobbler. That much I know.
It’s not the cobbler.
Do you think it was the cobbler?
Of course it was.

9.5/10

The Beaver

The scene when Meredith is trapped between her son being hit and her husband depression. She has been very understanding, it is obvious she snapped. What I cannot believe is why did not she call the doctor earlier? The writing is exceptionally good. Oh how people underestimate depression. How his mind is his biggest enemy. The cutting  the arm off was absolutely unexpected and so real and good at the same time. How we see his son is following his fathers steps.

Probably sleeping, that’s all he does.

Nobody wants to feel pain anymore.

8/10

Little Man Tate

The kid is a little autistic, if you ask me and the character of Jane is super annoying, she just purposely wants to take the kid away from his mother and she is basically acticng all ‘I’m your Mommy.’ and Henry Junior Connic character was first super sweet and then turned out to be a jerk. Other than that, amazing film.

Can I have a coke?
Absolutely not.
Kid pukes.
Now can I have a coke?
In a fridge.

7/10

Foxes

7/10

The Iron Lady

Meryl’s performance is astonishing. The film itself is a little chaotic, the flashbacks appear to often. I think it should be more like I admire how t starts with first, what is now part and then we go to the past, I do believe the story would be more moving if after all her success we were hit with the present. Switching the voices and learning how to sound like Margaret require a lot of practice, and not everyone would be able o do that. What I cannot understand about Meryl’s choices of roles, is how lately she goes from dramatic ones to comedies. I always feel like she’s wasting her incredible talent in comedies. Films like, Devil Wears Prada, Mamma Mia, Julia and Julie, It’s Complicated and now Springs. After Carnage, my second favourite film this year and a well deserved Oscar.

9/10

Erin Brockovich

The love part was a little too much, other than that a very inspirational story and a good film. I’m a fast learner. Show me in a lab once and I’ve got it down.

For the first time in my life, I got people respecting me. Please, don’t ask me to give it up.

Oh, you fucking piece of CRAP with no signal!

Ed, have a fucking cup of coffee.

I don’t need pity, I need a paycheck. And I’ve looked. But when you’ve spent the past six years raising babies its real hard to find somebody who pays worth a damn, are ya getting every word of this down honey or am I talking too fast?

Are you going to be something else that I have to survive? Because… to tell you the truth… I’m not up to it.

NOT PERSONAL! That is my WORK, my SWEAT, and MY TIME AWAY FROM MY KIDS! IF THAT IS NOT PERSONAL, I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS!

Annabelle Daniels: 714-454-9346. 10 years old, 11 in May. Lived on the plume since birth. Wanted to be a synchronized swimmer so she spent every minute she could in the PG&E pool. She had a tumor in her brain stem detected last November, an operation on Thanksgiving, shrunk it with radiation after that. Her parents are Ted & Rita. Ted’s got Crohn’s disease, Rita has chronic headaches, and nausea, and underwent a hysterectomy last fall. Ted grew up in Hinkley. His brother Robbie, and his wife May and their five children: Robbie Jr, Martha, Ed, Rose & Peter *also* lived on the plume. Their number is 454-9554. You want their diseases?

Well, um, seeing as how I have no brains or legal expertise, and Ed here was losing all faith in the system, am I right? I just went out there and performed sexual favors. Six hundred and thirty-four blow jobs in five days… I’m really quite tired.

Like I was saying, I thought that the number you proposed was inappropriate, so I increased it.

7/10

North Country

I was nicely surprised with this one. I was shocked how they made it seem like the guy raped her, and at the end we find out she was raped by a teacher. The son pissed me off through the entire film, ungrateful son calling his mother a whore, that was just really hard to look at.

8.5/10

Frozen River

A baby in that bag, I did not see that one coming. The thing is, the film still does not have enough suspense, but still is very good. The kid burned the house down. The ending was a twist, she gave the kids away, that was just surprising. The film would be better if the kid died.

Count it.

8/10

Winter’s Bone

It was fine, until the torture porn started, aka finding her father’s body, that’s when the film got excellent.

What are we ever gonna do with you, baby girl?
Kill me I guess.
That idea’s been said already. Got any others?
Help me. Nobody’s said that idea yet, have they?

8/10

In the Bedroom

Did you do it?

7/10

Plain Truth

Boring with a nice twist at the end.

5/10

Breathless

The opening, Deter like, which is always good, though this one may be a little too Deter like. As a huge horror fan I enjoyed it just a little too much, the humour is good and the film is simply prefect, until the third act, when it all falls apart, when the private detective comes and ruins the story entirely. The film would be so much better if it just ended like they cleaned everything up and escaped, or got caught and shot the police man and then escaped. I really enjoyed Kelli’s character, more than Lorna. Tiny was just excellent, and when she started cutting Dale up, that was just breathtaking. The self defence scene was great though. I liked the idea that Tiny would kill them all. Am going to buy it on DVD and replay the first two acts.

I didn’t think there was that much money in the whole state of Texas.

Oh my God, Lorna, Oh my God.

Holy Jesus, Dale’s dead.

We’ve got a hell of a situation on our hands, Lorna.

Now, that’s a bit better.
Better? That bag does not change the fact that there’s a dead man underneath it.

We’re in Texas, there are no accidents, there’s alive and there’s dead.

I didn’t kill nobody.

What happened?
Bugs.
Bugs? No kiddin.
Never knew bugs could do that.
Earth to earth, dust to dust, all that.

With the turkey knife?

I ain’t cutting no man into pieces.

You what?

Hell of a good time we havin, ah?

I guess I always kinda liked cutting stuff up.

Does blood make me look fat?

Instead there’s poor old Dale… While you gals are having the time of your lives.

Figured it was self defence.

Abso-lutely.

Even a good woman has got a breaking point.

How do you think you’re gonna get out of this one?

8/10

The Grey

The plane crash was intriguing, it was very smart of him to fasten all three seatbelts. You’re gonna die, that’s what happening, sounded a lot like ‘You’re are about to be kidnapped.’ This is Fuck City, population 5 and dwindling. There are many beautiful scenes, the last scene when he’s looking at all the photos in the wallets, really moving. The way I see it, he died, I do not believe the ending means he won over the wolf and is resting, he’s dying along with the wolf, that is what happened. I do not like the idea of purgatory some people are giving, this is not lost people. He did not commit suicide, they all suffered and were killed by wolves. The lucky ones, died in plane crush. The title does not mean purgatory, it means hanging between life and the inevitable death, because they all are going to die. In the beautiful mountains, in the cold, eaten by wolves.

Once more into the fray. Into the last good fight I’ll ever know. Live and die on this day. Live and die on this day.

Do something. Do something. You phony prick fraudulent mother fucker. Do something! Come on! Prove it! Fuck faith! Earn it! Show me something real! I need it now. Not later. Now! Show me and I’ll believe in you until the day I die. I swear. I’m calling on you. I’m calling on you! Fuck it. I’ll do it myself.

We’re going to get a large branch and sharpen the end of it, and we’re going to shove it up this thing’s ass. Then we’re going to eat it.

Who do you love? Let them take you.

Don’t move. Stare right back at them.

Fate didn’t give a fuck. Dead is dead.

There’s not a second that goes by when I’m not thinking of you in some way. I want to see your face. Feel your hands in mine. Feel you against me. But I know that will never be. You left me, and I can’t get you back… I move like I imagine the damned do, cursed. I feel like it’s only a matter of time… I don’t know why I’m writing this, I don’t know what can come of it. I know I can’t get you back. I don’t know why this has happened to us. I feel like it’s me. Bad luck. Poison. I’ve stopped doing this world any real good.

I got a book. It’s called “We’re all fucked”. It’s a best seller.

A job at the end of the world. A salaried killer for a big petroleum company. I don’t know why I did half the things I’ve done, but I know this is where I belong, surrounded by my own. Ex-cons, fugitives, drifters, ass-holes. Men unfit for mankind.

It’s good. It’s good that it hurts.
It’s good?
It’s good, yeah.
Oh well then I’m fuckin’ fabulous.

I just had the clearest thought. I’m done. I’m done.

Is that it? You’re just gonna sit there? Is that what you want?
Yeah.
After what we survived?
That’s exactly why. What I got waiting for me back there? I’m gonna sit on a drill all day. Get drunk all night. That’s my life. Turn around and look at that. I feel like that’s all for me. How do I beat that. When will it ever be better? I can’t explain it.

Chase follows the lives of US Marshals and is one of the shows that deserved more than just a one season. Why? Well, how about a bunch of breathtaking chases? The writing is compelling too, the action is extremely high and Kelli Giddish did all her stunts by herself (and she’s not licensed).

Chase 1.01

The chase.
Didn’t your mother tell you not to play with guns.
My mother died when I was 8, so no.
Nice job, Boots.

What the hell Jimmy, I would have made that.
No you wouldn’t.
Okay maybe not, but I would made it further than he did.
I probably would have twisted my ankle.

W’re missing a hell of a game.
I’m missing the game to clear a misdeminer? I hope he stole a flatscreen.

Annie and Jimmy win!
Daisy asks for her last picture.
Luke, I know this letter will come to you as a shock, but it’s the only way that I can explain and do what I need to do without you trying to stop me. For years I’ve been living with something that I thought I had control of, but now I see that it controlled me. It’s why I filled my life with distractions. I thought If I could keep it away, then maybe it wasn’t there. Maybe It didn’t even happen. But it did. And instead of dealing with it, I was running away. But I’m done running. I am done thinking that was my fault.
I tried to get him another way.
I know you did.
Your letter.
I had to say goodbye, cause I’m going away for a long time.
Oh God, Daisy.
37 girls. He won’t be hurting anybody anymore.
Annie realizing Daisy was abused.
No he won’t.
What the hell is going on?
Jimmy there is no fcing this.
Why didn’t you come to us? Oh, Marco,
Because there is nothing that you could have done.
But Daisy, we’re family to you. We could have been there for you. I could have been there for you.
And you are.
It’s okay. I’m free now.
That picture is beautiful.

What a beautiful dream.
How long was I out?
About 15 minutes.
I’m sleeping like crap, got an hour last night.
You were talking to yourself. Was I?
Yeah, you said Jimmy and Ben.

Weren’t you wearing the same clothes yesterday?
Stories.
I heard you haven’t been sleeping much.
There is nothing wring with a good old sex dream from time to time.
First of all, it’s none of your business, second of all they’re not sex dreams. You kissed me so.
Oh yeah, how was I? Good?
I think the wedding’s off.
You didn’t have to kill Ben, you can just marry me.
Jimmy is a free man, what are you gonna do now?
Are you a policeman or are you a robin’ man?
Family, you can’t chose it, can’t escape it.
Guy shot Marco.

You know why, something bad is about to happen.

Oh, come on, Kelli was 9 in ’89 not 13 or whatever.
She’s going undercover in a miniskirt.
What are you looking at?
She found her father’s boat.
Local Girl Annie Frost at Air Force Academy
What are you talking about, sunshine, you’re already a star.
That’s William Frost, Annie’s father.
All the stuff that we’ve gone through together, you can tell me anything. Good or bad.
No more secrets.
I don’t want this to be my goodbye to him.
Ah! What a beautiful place!
Don’t ever let fear hold you back from something you want.
She came to this place!
Just close your eyes and make the leap.
Look at you, US Marshal.
You still have the boots I gave you.
There wasn’t a day that wasn’t an adventure, remember?
You used me to pull off your stupid cons.
What are you talking about we were a team.
Until we weren’t.
I wanted something better. You never did have a plan, did you? It was just pull off a job, blow through the money, and move out, right? Town after town.
They got kicked of the road.
She uncuffed him!
We had good times, huh? It’s what makes the rest of it worth it.
Annie, what we got is better. Believe me.
How much longer do we have to keep running?
Running? We’re not running.
Yeah, we are. And never to anything.
Ouch, that was painful.
Keep running you mean, Dad? Just like old times.
I did not see this one coming, when I was watching it for the first time.
I eneded up in a hospital and by the time I got out they already had you living with aunt Claudine.
Why didn’t you come get me?
I did, sunshine, first thing. When I got there you were playing in the front yard, you were playing soccer with all these girls, just like you wanted. And I just, I decided to let you be.
I would have given hell for them.
I know you would have, that’s why I drove away.
You’re okay?
Glad to see you.
I was worried about you.
Get out of here, before they come back for you. You’re gonna keep looking over your shoulder, but it’s not gonna be me that’s chasing you.
Any chance you’re coming with me?
No.
It has something to do with that young man I just met, doesn’t it?
I don’t know about that just yet. Goodbye dad.
But Where am I gonna go? Hey what would you say, you’d pick out for me, just for old time sake?
Your boat is safe, I didn’t tell anybody about that.
I have to move there anyway.
Maybe you’ll come stay with me there sometime.
Maybe.
Hey, guys, thank you.
Any time.
You got it.
Where’s your dad?
Got away.
They kiss walk away, and end of the series, damn.

I may have actually been writing this post for almost two months. I have been busy with all the uni, work, apartment stuff, but it is ready now.

Past Life

I will start with what I really liked about the show, which was the fact that the main character had no social life outside her job. How she came home to her mother and lived like and average person. Goes to job and comes back home, that’s it, no boyfriend, just what life of an averagely successful person looks like. I watched this show in one day and I was digging it and I still think it should not be cancelled that quickly. The show should be made more like a horror, the value of it would be higher. I am not a fan of paranormal, magical and mystical shows, but this one was not that bad, it should be given the whole season. There are many worse series. I still do not understand how Ghost Whisperer made it to the whole 5 seasons or the shows like Charmed, Buffy and Supernatural have so many viewers, sorry. The show has a lot of points that I would definitely change, starting with better writing, and bringing some life to the dull main male character. The procedures are not well prepared and it just feels like everything is happening too much and too fast. The cases are more or less interesting and the team is not the strongest.

Past Life 1.01

This is worse than some dream, you actually feel what’s going on, don’t you? Your heart races, your palm sweat. No matter how hard you try you can’t make it go away. Must be terrifying.
Calm down.
That’s it? We’re supposed to figure out who killed this kid based on that?
I never said this was gonna be easy.
Start recording, it’s the red button.
Oh, thank you, I’m not an idiot.
Okay, the so the guy ran into a girls room, so he must have been a girl, that is ridiculous.
It’s 5 dollars for a cup of coffee, I should have it how I like it. Exactly what I say.
I don’t want  to be a girl anymore. Ha, okay.
A boy was a girl in his past life. He was kidnapped with his sister, who turned out to be still alive.
Why do you come here, is there a reason?
Yeah, my life sucks.
Do you not see the irony here with Mister non believer, knocking on the wood, playing with little pretend angels.
So I’m superstitious, big deal.
It’s just a coincidence, Kate.
Okay, whatever you say.
Kid checking if he can swim.
I know about the guilt. I know what it’s like to wake up everyday and just want to black out the pain. The truth is If I could see my wife again, I would do it, maybe that’s why I am here, with this crazy woman standing next to me. Maybe that’s why I haven’t walked away from this all. I guess hope is all we have left.
The girl is alive.
Don’t give the parents false hope.
Kate, everything that has happened today, I don’t know, it’s like you spend your whole life playing this game ad suddenly someone changes the rules.
She doesn’t know he kidnapped her, she thinks he’s her father.
I knew you didn’t take this job for the money.
Just so you know, I still think you’re crazy.

Past Life 1.02

A girl comes to Kate so she could help her sister.
If my PhD degree came out of cereal box then I’ve lost a lot of time at school.
You can feel the vision coming on, but you don’t know what causes them. They started as a flashes, but they’re gotten worse, more intense, more detailed. They’re scary, that’s not the worst part. The worst part is the pain. They make you feel. Not being able to control them.
Why do I keep dying?
You’re not a mad person, you’re just sick. Let me help you.
Or we can break in.
How do you deal with her?
I drink.
She’s coming onto a guy to get information.
Everything says she was a killer in her past life.
The girl is stoned.
It became about you when you started coming to work half drunk.
So I have a drink sometimes, I’m a social person.
Sitting alone at the bar isn’t social.
The guy is about to be executed, but let’s go to a sauna.
What a view, she’s falling off the cliff.
They got her on a tape.
I cried when they stopped the execution.
3.5/10

Past Life 1.03

Two people have the same regressions from two lifetimes.
They were both criminals.
They’re all over each other.
Girl broke the pattern, guy couldn’t.
Kate, I’m here.
Yeah, make yourself at home.
Tequila, I feel the lecture coming on.
Which one do you want? The one where every doctor at some point loses a patient in their carrier or the one where you’re very good at your job?
I go with number two.
You have to accept the fact, that even the great Kate cannot fix everything.
She’s getting more action then two of us combined.
It’s a sad situation, my friend.
And the truth is I actually cried at the end.
2/10

Past Life 1.04

Stigmata. A girl bleeds from hands at a spelling bee competition.
Her head starts bleeding too.
Kate’s mom messing with Kate’s things.
She was a boy who committed suicide.
Finally a little scarier episode.
Kate’s scenes with her mother.
Oh, hun, we’re from Texas.
You are not bad. This is your life. That was his.
Kate comforting the kid.
A test.
The new student is killing for teacher too.
I think he’s depressed, that’s why he cuts himself.
If you pull the trigger, there’s no turning back.
I know what he made you do, but this time you can say no.
When Kate threw the keys.
Oh, sweetie, you’re the one taking care of me?
There, you loved them frozen when you were a kid.
6/10

Past Life 1.05

They uncovered the body and a guy is kidnapped.
Kate gets into a car with a guy.
I’ve driven faster to the drug store for tampons.
They dug out the body.
That might be you.
The fiancée is so weak.
Their lunch talk.

Other shows I watched this summer

24 Friday Aug 2012

Posted by Joanne in Ellen Pompeo, Kate Walsh, Kelli Giddish, Mariska Hargitay, tv series

≈ Leave a comment

Right after I finished watching Chase and Past life in the first week of August, I watched a few episodes of different shows.

  1. L&O: Criminal Intent 7.5 – Kelli Giddish’s episode
    Though I have seen only a few episodes of the series, it is not my favourite part of the Law and Order franchise. The episode was just bad.
    3/10
  2. Without A Trace: 7.5 – Kelli Giddish’s episode
    Though most of the team decided to abandon Kelli’s character case, who just happened to be a lesbian and find the little girl, the episode was amazing.
    7/10
  3. L&O – 6.16 – Ellen Pompeo’s episode
    Clearly not as e excellent as Ellen’s later episode, the case is not bad and to my big surprise Ellen has brown hair, is super cute and looks way younger than 26.
    6/10
  4. L&O – 16.2 – SVU’s episode
    Mariska guest stars and Ice T also appears in one scene.
    Why did he die trying to call me?
    She gives out thousands cards per year, oh if she gave me one, I would call her everyday.
    The case was very good and should be SVU case, as there were the characters that we have previously seen on SVU, so should just air on SVU.
    6.5/10
  5. L&O – 8.3 – Kate Walsh’s episode
    Kate in her natural blonde hair color and everyone appreciating how beautiful she is.
    She’s what I dream about.
    You want the truth? I stopped listening, I was picturing how she’d look in leather.
    This is the woman people tend to remember.
    Yeah she is a head turner.
    I’ve been trained to control my emotions.
    You never lose control?
    Losing control is not an option, you lose control you die.
    6/10
  6. The Good Wife – Kelli Giddish’s episodes
    2.22
    There are so many people who can see us right now, but I swear I will scream at the top of my lungs if you don’t get out of my office now.
    Mamie is killing it.
    And the judge is enjoying it.
    2.23
    Miss me? Now you gotta kiss me.
    3.01
    Kelli’s character is stalking Kalinda. I really loved her character and wish she stayed.
  7. ER – All Mariska Hargitay’s episodes
    4.2

    William H Macy, Maria Bello and Chad Lowe are also in this episode along with Mariska.
    I have already seen this scene, but my, she’s a genius.
    They didn’t even like me there. PERFECTION.
    A kid is bulimic, wish they showed us the actual conversation.
    And yes, she got the job.
    4.3
    Julianna’s character is all what the heck is she doing here?
    That was a nice boom.
    I hope they’re clean?? Come on, don’t say these things.
    The bulimia patient is back.
    Oh where’s your gun Liv?
    So Liv before SVU was afraid of walking home alone?
    4.5
    Who peed in your cornflakes?
    Did you just offer him a backrub?
    Clooney knows this stuff.
    You’re spending too much time together.
    So before SVU Liv gave backrubs and she was good at it.
    4.6
    Okay, that was not at all akward.
    4.8
    Drunk laugh.
    4.10
    You have a son?
    That was good.
    4.11
    Mariska and Maria play tomagochi at the ER. Oh the 90s, I remember you so well.
    What an ass going through her pregnancy pills.
    They want to play tomagochi again, but it died.
    Maria’s hitting the table with it, amazing.
    4.12
    Maria’s eating from the floor, she’s incredible.
    Mariska’s character is having a breakdown, nice.
    He is not good enough for you, sweetie.
    4.14
    Of course they lost her bags.
    Jessica Tuck guest stars.
    He doesn’t love her, how can you not love her?
    4.16
    I deserve better. Yes you do.
    I adored Mariska’s character, she was just awkward and super cute.
  8. Nurse Jackie 1.1
    She signed the consent form herself, nice one Jackie.
    Did he just grab her boob?
    Maybe a little ox.
    Puke away from the ear.
    What do you doctors have against healing people for Christ sake?
    I’m off the clock.
    So am I.
    I’m sorry I puked. It won’t happen again.
    It will.
    I like to have a clear head. Yeah, good one, Jackie.
    She actually took his picture.
    Fuck you, and she flashed his ear.
    Be careful.
    Fuck you.
    The show is absolutely perfect, and I hope one day I will have time to watch it.
    9/10
  9. Homeland 1.1
    I liked it. I would love to see what does the fingers sequence mean, maybe I will watch it one day, like when I’m on my retirement.

SVU Season 13

07 Saturday Jul 2012

Posted by Joanne in Kelli Giddish, Mariska Hargitay, special victims unit, tv series

≈ Leave a comment

Season 13 picks up the storyline of the SVU team after the tragic shooting at the end of season twelve and by the end of the first episode we know we’re never seeing Elliot Stabler again. The beautiful 12 year partnership ends and we meet two new characters. Amanda, who I have fallen in love the first seen we meet her, when she asks some random guy at the precinct to stash her box somewhere, and Nick Amaro, a numb character, who I am still not sure a bout.

  1. 1
    I’m watching the first four episodes of the season for the third time now.
    Maid is raped, crawling out of the room ‘What’s going on, what happened to you?’
    Guy has the balls to call for his laptop.
    Amanda’s ‘Stash that for me somewhere, hun, thank you.‘
    Acting of the maid.
    ‘I spit it out.‘
    The description of rape.
    ‘He put it in my mouth, he hold my head so hard, until he finished.‘
    Liv’s ‘Where did you spit it out?‘
    Melinda’s ‘Get ready to get lucky.’
    He laughted and said ‘That’s the difference between like and love.’
    Finally, you brought my laptop.
    Ron Rifkin guest stars.
    Stephanie March guest stars.
    Cabot meets Rollins.
    ‘And yet we do have probable cause.’
    ‘How’d he do?’
    ‘Everyone is staring.’
    Rollins sucking up to Liv.
    It’s not a check up it’s a procedure.
    We’re professionals.
    They actually show us the procedure.
    A woman is measured by Cosmo.
    Weakness. Most man are turned on by weakness.
    Later I will be free and you’ll be out of your job.
    Oh, Alex.
    Okay, good, but if there’s any part of the story you’re leaving out…
    No, he raped me, and he’s going to get away with it, do what he wants to me, just like the soldiers.
    The missionary at the refuge camp, he told me, If I bring my sons to America, there is no violence, no fighting. Someone from Africa is the president of everything, everything.
    So what? So he’s the sacrificial lamb? You’re just gonna give him up?
    You know me better than that, he’s like a son to me.
    And he’ll tell them to Go to hell.
    Oh no Liv you didn’t just say that.
    So, what’s her story? She must have some hooks to be transferred here from Atlanta.
    She’s cool.
    Elliot is probably afraid to talk to you Liv.
    Ouch, she did this for money.
    You promised Ms Cabot that this wasn’t about money.
    Liv talking in Italian.
    Alex Cabot, please. Good work Rollins.
    What part about the South Sudan didn’t you hear.
    This, if it’s even legitimate.
    Oh, it’s legitimate.
    This is not a story. This is why I came here. But you will believe what you will believe.
    Olivia. I believe her.
    If we press the case we can’t win we just tell the next victim that she’s better off staying silent.
    If we let him walk we send the message to the rest of the world, that in New York the law doesn’t apply to the rich and the powerful. We are here to even those scales, not cut them run.
    Woman see power, they find it attractive.
    You mean they like it rough.
    The dance is different every time.
    Also part of the dance?
    Are you sure she didn’t get those injuries trying to fight you off.
    It’s in a woman’s eyes, no matter what the word say.
    Even if a word is no? Even if she’s fighting you, scratching you, even if she’s calling for help less than 5 minutes after you fled your room after you you raped her. Did you see that in her eyes?
    You had time to fly him in, but you didn’t have time to inform us?
    She told me one soldier had raped her, I told her no, one dozen soldiers, this is better.
    Olivia, do you think she’s telling the truth about the rape?
    Yes, something bad happened to her in that room.
    That’s all I need to hear.
    Liv.
    Nice working with you.
    Elliot put his papers in, there was nothing I could do.
    You wanna talk? You wanna take a day?
    I’m fine.
    Liv, I’m sorry.
    You okay?
    Yeah.
    No, I’ll go, give me five and we’ll roll.
    The writing was just very good this episode.
    10/10
  2. 2
    We’re hiring another detective?
    We’re short on staff. You have a problem with that?
    It’s hard enough showing one rookie the ropes, now we have two, I mean, what is it, a daycare centre?
    I used to be the earliest bird.
    Good, so maybe you could help the new guys out a little, okay?
    Description of assault.
    He’s still couching, he’s still not doing whatever he didn’t do to you. You understand that?
    My son is gay and he has to deal with that garbage on the streets everyday. Bravest man I know.
    Olivia, I’m really sorry about Elliot.
    Steve said that you got it worse than you did, when did coach stopped raping you.
    How come you get so upset every time I bring it up?
    I’m trying to resurrect your case and you don’t like my tactics.
    He’s going to be doing bed checks and everything.
    What we all have to remember is shame is not ours is his.
    6/10
  3. 3
    His Spanish is slightly better than yours and the girl lives with her Puertorican grandmother.
    He’s your new partner?
    Oh, no, I’m just showing him the ropes.
    Liv talking to the girl.
    Well, somebody got you pregnant.
    God impregnated her.
    Why do I always get priests.
    13 year olds today, we try to keep them innocent. We lose them to the Kardashians and Lady Gaga.
    This gets better and better for us, not for you.
    She is lying. He doesn’t own a car.
    Someone sent her flowers.
    Look, there’s no florist-client privilege, okay?
    Kyle Macchalahan guest stars, for the third time.
    I know she’ll never forget me.
    Make you feel like a man when you popped her?
    Threw some charity, okay?
    Little punk thinks he can’t be touched.
    Grandma forces her to have the abortion.
    I don’t want to go,
    Where?
    I wanna keep my baby.
    Oh my God.
    He said it was my fault that he couldn’t stop.
    He got her drunk, the lemonade was spiked. She was a virgin, she said it hurt, she was crying, she said no.
    There was no outcry afterwards, he sent her flowers.
    What the hell is that supposed to mean? Counsellor, what the hell’s that mean?
    You’re off. What I saw your anger pushed her disclosure.
    I’m off? You and your office have lost your nerve.
    Kid goes missing.
    I’ll call, I’m sergeant.
    We have his cell phone records, son.
    And what were you doing there?
    It’s not like he paid with the check, honey.
    I just wanted you to call me your son. I just wanted you to say you love, why couldn’t you? I’m your son too.
    Nice, Kyle.
    9/10
  4. 4
    Oh, life is not that bad, give me a smile. You look so much prettier when you smile.
    Look at me. Look at my face.
    You did everything right, you survived.
    Tell me you love me, Mommy.
    Rollins is right.
    These aren’t gonna catch anyone.
    Big Brother’s is most definitely watching, Amigo. I mean what’s next they take your DNA at birth, and put them in some government database.
    Because we are looking for a white man. Somebody please take over from me, I’m gonna chew some glass.
    You are the sergeant.
    Is he always like this?
    Hey, Rollins.
    Yeah.
    Nice job.
    Your rapist is still out there.
    You tell my boy I never raped anybody. You tell him that for me.
    Nick just helped the guy.
    Back when I got my shield, All we had to go on was blood type and fingerprints. We went with our gut. You know what, kid, I miss those days.
    He has an identical brother!
    She drugged him, then she burned him up in font of Bryan.
    I will talk to her, the blonde.
    So If he doesn’t talk to the blonde he walks?Captain, we need a statement.
    Can you lift up shirt? Lift up your shirt for me, baby. I wanna show you something.
    It is your party.
    I don’t I don’t know, he could he could’ve.T I Knight is amazing!
    She’s a drunk whore, who cares.
    It’s okay, anybody would be broken.
    No one ever really listened to you, have they? I wanna hear your whole story, not just these mistakes. Everything, I’ve got all night, and I’m not leaving you.
    Look at me, look at my face.

    ‘That’s my point, Ma.’
    Amanda and Fin going from home to home and screaming ‘Treat or Treak!’ in their child voices, perfection.
    Someone stole my baby, someone stole my son.
    Check everything scene.
    If I saw I would run, I don’t like babies.
    They put a baby in a cooler.
    The baby’s body.
    Elliot would shook the shit out of them.
    Baby under the table.
    Would you let your son go out looking like a pumpkin?
    The beautiful location where they buried the baby.
    With his blanket and a toy.
    Everybody knows in New York bad things happen all the time.
    Now what? We let them go. Just send them home.
    6/10
  6. 6
    The opening.
    I didn’t yell. I didn’t fight back.
    You said that he had a gun, it was rape.
    You’re alive. You did what you had to do.
    Actually the bottle would be better.
    I’ll remember for the next time.
    Ouch, Liv, you screwed up.
    That girl has just been robbed off all her power and all her humanity. And your best advise is pretend it never happened and walk away?
    You’re not alone. I will be here every step of the way.
    They don’t clean up when they’re done?
    This is a huge burden to bear in my experience.
    In your experience? Until you’ve been raped, you don’t get…
    Camera.
    That’s why I hate elevators, you know, no girl is gonna smile at some stranger who tries to get in her car.
    I was raped.
    Guy attacks Rollins, Fin and Amaro.
    Remember when you (…) were that age.
    Death by thousand paper cuts.
    Bad identification.
    Please don’t tell me he’s black.
    Munch is all I’m a sergeant, I rule.
    Oh, you’re in trouble.
    I don’t know his name.
    You were held at the gunpoint.
    Prosecution is handling it well.
    Don’t tell me it was worth it, that was so ugly.
    Healing begins when someone bears witness. I saw you. I believe you.
    I didn’t ask for company.
    You said that if a white girl cries rape in that neighbourhood, she must have wanted it.
    All I can think of is I’m so tired.
    This is what happens if you live for the job.
    I do okay on my own.
    You sure about that?
    The writing, proceeding and that case.

  7. Izabella Miko guest stars.
    No English, sorry.
    Now she speaks English.
    What about your father?
    That’s a long story.
    You got a name on her?
    Something Russian.
    I paid, I paid, I paid.
    I gave them everything I had and they still killed her.
    First spit out that lolipop.
    Amanda and Fin blackmailed them, and the feds come in anyway.
    Ain’t life a bitch?
    Guy deleted the files.
    Fin blackmails him again.
    Remember captain, no matter how temping it may be you cannot get intimate with the suspect.
    Knock it out, killer.
    You’ll do fine, you look good.
    I worry more about my stuff.
    How the whole precinct finds out about captain’s past.
    Please, you have to help me, whoever you are.
    Prostitutes, no family, illegal, no one to miss them.
    No mothers to forgive them.
    Nice one, Rollins.
    Officer down, officer down.
    Who got hit?
    I want this bitch gone, now.
    She played you all.
    Liv, about that stuff I said on a wire.
    What stuff?
    Okay.
    5.5/10
  8. Is that our guy?
    Whoever that is, it’s not right.
    Guy is running around the park naked.
    Rollins is always jogging.
    Who the hell you talking to?
    The guy is not nuts, he’s having a bad trip.
    I grew up around both, my sister had it rough, so.
    We all come from something.
    Girl is being raped and Amanda and Fin do not believe him.
    Keep your clothes on.
    Gia, you’re just like every other survivor who has to tell her story over and over to get justice. That’s just the way it works. But you’re gonna get justice.
    When is Gia’s birthday? scene.
    Finding the photos scene.
    Gia, we believe you, I believe you.
    He will never touch you again, you cannot promise me that.
    In the real world, he’s save and I’m not.
    Liv tells about her assault. Amanda and Liv talk.
    Bad things have happened to me, I’ve been stabbed, I’ve been assaulted. My gun didn’t save me.
    You told Gia that you were assulted…
    Yeah.
    Something happened to me on the job. Part of the reason I had to leave.
    Somebody you work with?
    Something not worth pursuing, you know.

Welcome to ReviewThisFilm

This website started in 2010 as weekly reviews of movies and tv episodes, and a diary of the 700 new films I watched every year. Today it’s a place for me to write a few words on films and tv shows that leave some sort of impact on me. I no longer write in depth reviews, mostly thanks to bad habits gained by spending many hours a day on Letterboxd.

If you have a film you would like me to watch and review,  please leave a comment.

Enjoy!

About the Author

All I do is watch movies, the good, the bad and the ugly. Sometimes I make my own.

Check out my latest film (120K+ views on Youtube):

www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP3Iz23hD7M

I’ve seen over 6000 films and 220 TV shows. I have a degree in Film Production, and wrote my dissertation on Italian neorealism. I mostly gravitate towards social issues films, anything Ken Loach, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Roberto Rossellini, Vittorio De Sica or Jafar Panahi, etc.

I rate films within genre. I watch a lot of films on Mubi, Filmbox Arthouse. My favourite directors are Yasujiro Ozu, Ken Loach, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Zhang Yimou, Roberto Rossellini, Ingmar Bergman, Brian De Palma, Vittorio De Sica and Andrzej Wajda. My favourite actresses have always been Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. I’m nostalgic and reminisce a lot. I’m at the cinema 10 times a month. And I’m a Polish-British millennial.

I will watch anything:

psychological | arthouse | foreign | independent | drama | horror | lgbt | strong female characters | female centred films | dysfunctional families | sexual assault | troubled childhood | mental health issues

About me

I am the dark and twisty Meredith Grey, the mad Dexter Morgan, hoping to grow up to be a little more like the wise, but fun Nora Walker. I am an aspiring filmmaker. My favorite actresses are Jodie Foster, Sally Field and Julianne Moore. Favorite genre – psychological drama. I watch anything with a sexual or mental abuse plot. I used to be a horror freak. I am obsessed with Grey’s Anatomy, SVU and many more. My other interests include making oil and pencil portraits and wildlife conservation. I cannot say no to beautiful landscapes, travel, Aussie accent, TV/film quotes and avocados. I have recently moved back from Australia to the UK. I’ve been running this blog for the last 9 years. Here I comment on films and episodes I watch. Enjoy! – Joanne

favourite film and tv quotes

‘When I lived in Porpoise Spit, I used to sit in my room for hours and listen to ABBA songs. But since I’ve met you and moved to Sydney, I haven’t listened to one Abba song. That’s because my life is as good as an Abba song. It’s as good as Dancing Queen.’ (Muriel’s Wedding)

‘I used to think about
your life in New York. I tried to imagine your room. I kept track of the time difference, so I  knew when you were awake and when you were asleep.’ (Disobedience)

‘Nothing’s clean, Howard. But we do our best, right?’ (The Aviator)

‘No, I’m not quitting. I don’t quit things.’
‘No, actually you do. Your mother quit your father. Your father quit you. You quit your boyfriend and if I read your hospital chart correctly you quit your life momentarily on a couple of occasions. You quit. It’s what you know how to do.’ (Greys)

‘Where the hell was I that year?’
‘Your were watching television’. (Everybody Loves Raymond)

‘It’s impossible to worry about anything else when there’s blood coming out of you.’
(Short Term 12)

‘I wanted it to happen. And when we were girls… Even then, it was the same. It’s always been this way! I have always wanted it.’ (Disobedience)

‘Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes you play games in your head. You make up someone, someone good.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a moment when our lives change forever. The moment we admit our weaknesses, the moment we rise to a challenge, the moment we accept a sacrifice, or let a loved one go. And sometimes the change in our lives is an answer to our prayers.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Yesterday I went to the movies all day by myself. One after the other. I’ve never done that before. I had a really happy day.’ (Doing Time for Patsy Cline)

‘I just need something to happen. I need a sign that things are going to change. I need a reason to go on. I need some hope. And in the absence of hope, I need to stay in bed a feel like I might die today.’ (Greys)

‘She saved me my whole life. Without her, I’m nothing.’ (The Favourite)

‘Don’t wonder why people go crazy. Wonder why they don’t. In face of what we can lose in a day, in an instant, wonder what the hell it is that make us hold it together.’  (Greys)

‘Bree sobbed quietly in the restroom for five miutes, but her husband never knew, because when Bree finally emerged, she was perfect.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘I am not food, you cannot just eat and eat.’ (The Favourite)

‘I don’t love him.’
‘Of course you do.’
‘No!’
‘Don’t take me for a fool Olive,  I’m many things but I’m not a fool.’
‘I know that, you’re brilliant.’
‘Don’t you see, it’s over. Whatever this is, was, it’s over.’
‘I love You.’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

‘At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing, is reason enough to celebrate.’ (Greys)

‘Many years ago, a neighbour and a good friend of ours took her life, and that left us all heartbroken and perplexed. But somehow, when I was alone in that hotel room, I forget about all the pain that she caused. In those awful moments, I thought maybe she had the answer.‘ (Desperate Housewives)

‘What happened last year when you fell in the water?’
‘I almost drowned. Do you think I did that for kicks?’
‘You put your hand in a body cavity that contained unexploded ammunition.’
‘I was trying to save a patient!’
‘Why is it that every other person in that room had the sense to hit the deck? You know people run away from this line between life and death. You seem to stand on it and wait for a strong wind to sway you one way or the other. You’re careless with your life. You’re not slitting your wrists but you’re careless. Probably because your mother told you you were a waste of space on this planet. The problem is you believed her. And if you don’t want out one of these days you’re going to die because of it.’  (Greys)

‘This is the street where I used to live and these were the people with whom I shared my life. I met them the day they moved in. And I saw what they brought with them. Beautiful dreams for the future. And quiet hopes for a better life. Not just for themselves, but for their children, too. If I could, would I tell them what lies ahead? Would I warn them of the sorrow and betrayal that lie in store? No. From where I stand now, I see enough of the road to understand how it must be traveled. The trick is to keep moving forward, to let go of the fear and the regret that slow us down and keep us from enjoying a journey that will be over too soon. Yes, there will be unexpected bends in the road, shocking surprises we didn’t see coming, but that’s really the point. Don’t you think?’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Was your life not working when you let that slip out from under you?’
‘When are you going to stop suggesting that I’m suicidal?’

‘Why?’
‘Because I’m not suicidal, and if it says that I am, then it’s wrong.’ (Greys)

‘There is nothing wrong with me.’
‘Then show me your arm.’ (Degrassi)

‘Look, my whole life, I have been the freak. The girl who nobody picked for dodgeball. The girl who didn’t have a mom. The girl who dressed funny because it was her dad buying her clothes. And then, tonight I looked at these people, and I thought maybe there’s a future where I don’t have to be a freak. Maybe I can be who I am and that’s okay.’ (Everything Sucks)

‘Dr, I have been this way since…since I can remember. There is no cure.’ (American Horror Story)

‘He was so crazy about me, I couldn’t breathe. So we tried drinking our way back into love, but it never made sense in the morning. So I ran. And every time I came back, he was here. And he was still crazy about me.’ (My Blueberry Nights)

‘Bree van de Kamp had always wanted to live her life with elegance and grace. That is also how she wanted to die. Her plan was to pour herself a glass of her favorite chardonnay, put on her most stylish nightgown and leave behind a note on embossed stationery.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘All we have is this moment. The future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid being alive today. So be… here…. now.’ (Six Feet Under)

‘On the train coming here, we were in the same cart, I saw you, you were reading and you feel asleep. I didn’t dare to look at you, you were so beautiful, it was scary. Afterwards,  I couldn’t stop thinking about you. It made me smile. Then I thought of all the men who would get to hold you, who’d make you laugh. How lucky they were.’ (Enemy at the Gates)

‘It was a good day. Maybe even a great day. Even when it was hard, I was the me in my head. There was a moment when I thought I cant do this, I cant do this alone. I close my eyes and imagine myself doing it, and I did, I blocked out the fear, and I did it.’ (Greys)

‘There comes a time when we must expose our weaknesses. When our secrets can no longer remain private, when our solitude can no longer be denied, when our pain can no longer be ignored, but sometimes we feel so alone that a weakness we thought we’d overcome suddenly becomes too strong to fight.’ (Desperate Housewives)

‘Why did you get married, Esti? Why didn’t you just leave? So everything was all right when I left?’

‘If I had to sleep with a man, why not with our best friend?’
‘Oh, Esti…’
‘It hasn’t been a complete disaster.’
‘And that’s enough?! Do you have to have sex every Friday?’
‘It’s expected.’
‘It’s medieval. What happened to you?’
‘Nothing. You happened to me. And then I started teaching and that became important. I give them ambition.’
‘To do what? Push out seven babies and be a good wife?’
‘Don’t. Don’t. I help them to value themselves.’
‘Okay, but what about you?’
‘That is me. And you? Are you happy?’
‘Yes, I am.’
‘Have you been with other women?’
‘No. Not really. And you?’
‘No.’
‘But, Esti… Do you still
only fancy women?’ (Disobedience)

‘Go.’

‘She let me live at Nora’s house. She let me believe that I was a part of their family. I fell in love with that family. What am I supposed to do, just sit there, pretend I’m related to them? I was happy. For the first time in my life I was happy.’ (Brothers and Sisters)

‘You will be left all alone with your bitterness and your rage and your knowledge that you loved her and she loved you and you threw it away for them.’
‘Do you love her?’
‘Yes.’
‘And Have you always?’
‘Yes.’
‘So then ask her.’
‘Olive, will you forgive me?’ (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women)

‘No razors, no scissors, no fucking freedom.’
(Short Term 12)
