Susan's Race Against Time: Thomas' Unexpected Crush Turns Sidekick
27 July 2024
Former investigative journalist Susan finds herself entangled in a perilous mystery when those around her start dying. Marem Hassler delivers a gripping performance, portraying Susan's desperate race against time to clear her name and protect her daughter.

Karl E. Landler shines as Thomas, a shy and clumsy university teacher with a long-standing crush on Susan. His character's evolution from a timid academic to a courageous ally in Susan's investigation is both compelling and endearing. Landler's comedic timing adds clever, light-hearted moments to the film.

The chemistry between Hassler and Landler drives the narrative, making their partnership both believable and engaging. The tension is palpable as Susan works to solve the case before the police pin the murders on her. With solid performances and a well-paced plot, this movie is a standout watch for Lifetime enthusiasts.

Twisted thriller all the way to the end.
25 July 2024
If you are into whodunit-type films, you will be pleased.

I initially wanted to watch it for the Lindo )) Karl E. Landler from "Natal em Paris." Even though he doesn't appear enough, his role is quite a departure from his usual romantic films. He is a versatile actor. Otto freaked me out.

The dynamic between the sisters (NuNu Thurman & Angeleah Speights) works well. Their performances range from good to very good, in my opinion.

It's a good and watchable little thriller. It's probably low budget, but you don't notice it all the time, and eventually, you get used to it.

Amor do Brazil.

Inception (2010)
8/10
a gripping experience
15 April 2024
Inception" is a mind-bending masterpiece that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Christopher Nolan's visionary storytelling and stunning visuals create a gripping experience. The complex plot, coupled with stellar performances from Leonardo DiCaprio and the ensemble cast, make it a must-watch. However, some might find its layers confusing, but for those who appreciate intricate narratives, it's pure cinematic brilliance

poignant storytelling and emotional depth
15 April 2024
The Shawshank Redemption" is a timeless classic that resonates with its powerful message of hope and resilience. Frank Darabont's direction, coupled with Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins' captivating performances, delivers a deeply moving tale of friendship and redemption. The film's poignant storytelling and emotional depth leave a lasting impact on the audience. While some may find its pacing slow, its profound themes and unforgettable characters earn it a solid rating.

weak writing - not characters driven.
24 February 2021
So many scenes does not hold together. The plot move forward only because the writer(s) / Producers want it. There are no obstacles for against characters need or vey little - what ever need to happen, happen scene after scene - characters do not oppose each other but served the purpose of the writer(s) only. So they are really inconsistent in their actions with a lot of contradictions.... Can't finish the show... It s a shame cause I really like the cast...

Christmas in Paris (2019 TV Movie)
8/10
A Nostalgic Yet Refreshing Take on Romance
29 November 2019
Love in Paris, invites viewers on a delightful journey that blends the charm of classic romance tropes with the allure of authentic French culture. While the film leans heavily on familiar clichés, it manages to infuse enough freshness to keep the audience engaged.

At the heart of the story is a wealthy French businessman, played by Karl E. Landler, who whisks an all-American girl, portrayed by the lovely Rebecca Dalton, away to Paris. The film explores themes of love, identity, and reconciliation, particularly through the subplot involving our hero's strained relationship with his biological father.

Karl E. Landler's performance as the enigmatic French hero is both a highlight and a point of contention. His genuine French accent adds a layer of authenticity that is often missing in such films, for the globally minded viewer, it's music to the ears. Landler brings a certain European charm that grows on you as the film progresses.

Rebecca Dalton shines as the spirited protagonist, embodying the quintessential romantic heroine with grace and charm. Her chemistry with Landler, though built on a foundation of well-worn clichés, is undeniably endearing. The dynamic between them, especially set against the backdrop of Paris (Lyon?) - even if much of it is filmed stateside - evokes a sense of old-fashioned romance that is both nostalgic and refreshing.

Daphne Zuniga as Dalton's boss, adds depth to the story, providing a balance of humor and warmth. The subplot involving Landler's reconciliation with his father is particularly touching and adds a layer of emotional complexity to the otherwise light-hearted narrative.

In the end, "Love in Paris" is a film that knows its audience and delivers exactly what it promises - a romantic escape filled with charm, nostalgia, and a touch of fantasy.
