Lost in Space (2018)
It's a good, solid sci-fi family adventure series
Just finished watching all 10 episodes of the first season. I am enjoying this series. It's really well done. Less sci-fi, more adventure and family drama. But it's well written and well acted. Personally, I think Parker Posey is perfect as Dr. Smith. Right now, they are not taking advantage of her full camp potential but they clearly do not want to go in a campy direction with this. But depending on how long the series lasts, maybe it can loosen up to make room for that. In the meantime, it's a good, escapist adventure series. Well worth watching.
The Frog Prince (1986)
Seriously?
Who the hell is writing all the positive reviews of this thing? It's astoundingly awful. Cheap, obviously re-used sets. Bad sound design, horrible dialogue, crap costumes. Bad color all around. Slow-paced directing and the worst, most unimaginative dialogue ever. The whole thing just feels lazy. Like some third rate children's theater that gets a grant to produce a movie. But not a big grant. Aileen Quinn isn't much but is at least somewhat watchable. And Helen Hunt, while she can't do much with the script she's been given, at least maintains her acting dignity. She's the best thing about this, really. There are SO many better family viewing options out there. Don't bother with this.
