From my favorite movies..
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
View MoreA film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
View MoreThis movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
View Morewhen you look at the crime stats..and then you watch this show,its obvious there is an anti white agenda...how many cold cases with black perpetrators...as opposed to the rampant black crime wave in reality...end of.....maybe fox can do a series on black crimes..like Channon Christian,Christopher Newsome murders..Eve Carson..Ann Pressly..Lauren Burke..Megan Boken..Emily Haddock...etc....this is part of the mainstream medias deliberate denial and hiding of these and other crimes..and shows such as this carry the deception on.just one point what does the big black guy actually do..would still love to be able to buy it on DVD...for the few episodes that are actually touching..
View MoreSo now the old slanders are dragged out, Viet Nam veterans as rapists, baby killers, and the murderers of mothers, grandmothers, and little girls. And of course, when a Viet vet fails to show enough patriotism, well another Viet vet murders him! Well folks, I am a Viet Nam War veteran and I never saw American soldiers commit a single atrocity, but I have seen the innumerable atrocities and war crimes committed by North Vietnamese soldiers and Viet Cong. And on this ridiculous show, Cold Case, I have seen political atrocities carried out on American TV against brave and heroic Viet Nam War veterans like myself and my fellow vets for no other reason than to pump a TV show and perpetuate the vicious libels and slanders that have plagued American Viet Nam War veterans by empty headed liberals who happen to have a public TV platform. This episode about the Viet Nam veterans sickened me, and should disgust any decent and moral American citizen.
View MoreWhilst seen by many as a poor copy of the superb Canadian television show, Cold Squad, Cold Case is actually a lot less than that.The team's remit appears to be to look at any unsolved murder cases - often dating back to the first half of the twentieth century - and piece together enough anecdotal evidence (as opposed to actual physical evidence, which is almost never unearthed) with which to flesh-out a story.The one bit of detective skill they demonstrate is the uncanny ability to locate surviving participants in the often-ancient series of events.We are then treated to a series of hazy recollections, hearsay and gossip - accompanied by a dramatised re-enactment of the alleged events - related fluently by the witness/suspect, with our central protagonist, Detective Rush (a less suitable candidate for the job of police officer one could not imagine), forever appearing on the verge of tears, as she listens to them ramble on.Naturally, several of these witnesses will have had some sort of tenuous motive to commit the crime, so each becomes a possible suspect for the intrepid Nancy Drew....er....Detective Rush.Now, remember that there is no actual evidence linking any of these possible suspects with the crime. None whatsoever. So, how is the case solved?The guilty party simply confesses!How wonderfully convenient.This leaves us with a couple of conclusions:a] The Philadelphia Police Department must have been staffed by utter incompetents, between the early twentieth century and the first few years of the present century.b] The present Philadelphia Police Department has a constant stream of people, often over eighty years of age, queueing-up at their door, desperate to confess to long-forgotten crimes.
View More'Cold Case' is indeed in itself a very cold case. It has not produced any remotely exciting episodes since the first season. More often than not the obvious killer is the killer. Every episode basically has the same tiresome plot: A person is killed. The detectives interview a person that leads them to another person, whom leads them to another person, and so on and so forth. Eventually, the detectives have gone through everyone the victim has ever known, and now they discover that one or more is lying. So they question the supposed the liar, who in turn puts the blame on someone else, and so on and so forth. In the end the killer is caught, and the same tiresome montage is played, with switching back and forth between the present and the past, the victim waves goodbye to someone, and this of course is all in slow-motion. And of course accompanied by an acoustic indie song.
