Here's what I saw this week
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 - I have loved this franchise and the first 5 movies were all 7's and 8's for me. However this episode was a big disappointment. Dull and draggy, lacking in action and magic. No doubt I will still watch the final installment at some point but this was excessively mopey and an actual thumbs down. 4.6 out of 10.
The Hi-Lo Country (1998) - This is a Stephen Frears film and I generally like him so when I noticed it on TV, I figured I would finally check it out. I found it to be the exception to the Stephen Frears rule. i.e. - thumbs down. Very, very contrived. It just didn't work for me. 4.1 out of 10.
The Borgias (Season 1) - This wrapped up this week. It's hard to evaluate in a way. It was kind of fun in a splashy and trashy way. I kept watching and, though I won't be proud of it, I will probably watch Season 2 if there is one. But so much of the action didn't make sense and I would be thinking, no way that really happened. That's just contrived TV nonsense. But I am not an actual historical scholar on the subject so I don't know for sure. I give it a 5.1 out of 10.
Bob's Burgers (Season 1) - This also wrapped up this week. I am predisposed to liking animated shows and I kept trying this. I probably watched 6 or 7 episodes of the first season. But I kept being disappointed. It tried very hard but it is just not that funny nor interesting. 4.7 out of 10.
