Haven (2010)
Days of our lives with a sci-fi overlay.
An interesting series that mysteriously lasted for 78 episodes.
We start out with the standard formula of a long-term story with short term problems that manifest and are resolved in one or two episodes.
Usually, it takes a few seasons before running out of ideas and reverting to things like The Lady Vanishes (1938), and The Lady Vanishes (1938). However, Haven could not make it past two seasons without applying these distractions. So, it is surprising that even though they may have changed their focus and put in one twist after another that they lasted the78 episodes.
It does not take long to realize that this is more of a soap opera with a sci-fi twist. And towards the end they have that gawd-awful back ground tinkling piano.
I do not know if they needed the money but there is a lot of product name recognition. The even drink something called "TAB."
This is also a vehicle for out of work actors. It is fun to say where did I see the actor before; even if you can not last all the seasons, there is a surprise actor on the last three episodes of season 5.
A big plus is that the story was well wrapped up in the end. They knew it was the end and did not leave you hanging. However, it did leave you with the feeling that it could have been a pilot for a series.
Rome (2005)
Soft porn soap opera posing as history
The series follows the lives and loves of individuals that lived in 52 B. C.
There is quite a lot of blood and sex to keep us from realizing it is a rehash of "Days of Our Lives." They even have Lucius Vorenus (Kevin McKidd) and Titus Pullo (Ray Stevenson) playing the Roman version of Felix Ungar and Oscar Madison, I am not saying you should not watch this, but it is hardly history and has no socially redeeming value.
One added plus is the inclusion of Atia of the Julii (Polly Walker) who was exceptional as Caroline Dester in "Enchanted April" (1992).
On the positive side, the costumes when worn and the sets are well designed. There are always enough cliffhangers, twists, and turns to surprise the most jaded soap lover. This is a great series to use for marathon viewing. You may even get a little real history thrown in if you know what to look for. Afterward, you can take a cold shower.
Evidently, from the feedback I am getting, I may have been overzealous if giving too many stars as I thought it could be watchable. Some people just downright do not like this type of tripe. Nevertheless, I stand by the rating.
The Riddle of the Sands (1979)
Surprisingly holds your attention.
The Riddle of the Sand (1979), is based on a Book with the same name written by Robert Erskine Childers DSC (25 June 1870 - 24 November 1922). The Riddle of the Sands was published eleven years before the start of the First World War. The film reflects that time and was not modernized in any way.
On of the fun parts of the movie is recognizing the actors. And good actors they were by not out shining the characters they played. However, it takes time to forget them from movies like "Logan's Run" or Death on the Nile."
Basic story is that two British yachtsmen, who are old friends, friends discover a suspicious German plot to invade England in a unique way. We get to go along as they uncover clues and may be dispatched in the process.
If you remember in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" how Indy get a book signed by Hitler. Then you will like the part were Carruthers (Michael York) gets help with his escape boat by Kaiser, Wilhelm II (Wolf Kahler.)
You will not be disappointed in the story, acting, scenery, or anything.
Heroes (2006)
Worth the binge.
Actually, this is no good for anything less than binging. Unlike many serries' which have the standard formula of each episode or two completing a start and finish problem with a tad of long-term problem for the next episode to the end, this presentation of "Heroes" 2006-2010 is one long narrative.
There is a fun side to this program as it does not take you long to notice that all the supposedly "foreign" people are in reality American actors.
Many of the actors come from other series some are:
Masi Oka (Max Bergman in Hawaii Five-0)
James Kyson (Sean Leung in Hawaii Five-0)
George Takei (Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu in Star Trek)
Nichelle Nichols (Lieutenant Nyota Uhura in Star Trek)
Zachary Quinto (Spock in Star Trek movies 2009, 2013, and 2016)
Sendhil Ramamurthy (Jai Wilcox in Covert Affairs)
Many others will surprise you.
Unlike the episodes the season year ends do take the time and energy to wrap up the story just in case that is the last season. The exception of courses the last season that was getting a little long in the tooth and quits while in full fun. Still watch to the end and you will not feel they left you with a cliff hanger of the feel that this has been a pilot all along.
The series is split into something called "Volumes" that do not match the episode numbers.
The series gets to be a tad Hallmark near the end and they start doing weird skit and too many time travel episodes towards the end; if you can call it an.
The Abigail Mysteries (2023)
A cheap Hallmark want-a-be
A bunch of over-the-top religious fanatics all in one spot. One fanatic is no longer with us; was it the proverbial heart attack or a nefarious dispatch. Psalm 88:18 New International Version 18 You have taken from me friend and neighbor- darkness is my closest friend.
The only person qualified to suspect foul play is Abby Broukes (Ansley Gordon) a mystery maker on Podcasts. She is determined with the help of an old friend policeman and possibly an angel, follows the bible scripture clues to find out.
We get every cliché in the good book. And toss in a failed pregnancy, a botched marriage and other items that have nothing to do with the mystery or its solution.
If you can make it through this film without barfing the surprise may be that since this is just one mystery this was probably a pilot for a series.
The Beekeeper (2024)
Phishing can be bad for your health.
This is a standard run of the mill revenge story. It does have a small twist with the invention of an organization called the bee keepers.
There is nothing exceptional. However, we watch this type of revenge for the fun of it. Naturally the good guy, Adam Clay (Jason Statham), can easily squelch a slew of FBI agents with out having to kill anyone. There are not enough rough and tough bad guys to take on the bee keeper directly. The bee keeper is also stealthy and can slowly and uniquely dispatch snotty people with automatics one at a time.
The over all plot is of course what you suspect. Some may call it Hollywood; I see it as standard and find it in other productions to be the same. So, it is not unique to Hollywood.
I was surprised to see Minnie Driver in a small part as Director Janet Harward. That was a good touch.
Does Agent Verona Parker (Emmy Raver-Lampman) learn the difference in the law and what is right? Or does Adam get dispatched in the end and save us from a Sequel?
The Doorman (2020)
An inappropriate PC title; it should have been the Doorperson.
The basic story is that a hotel is due for renovation. Everyone is evacuated. Old Mr. Hersch gets to stay as he has had a stroke and has no ware to go. Turns out someone is not who they seem to be. So, enter the bad guys (armed to the teeth) hunting for a missing object. They are in for a surprise in the form of a doorman!
Well by now you heard the this is supposed to be a Die Hard (1988) knockoff. However, the only thing in common is that it takes place in a hotel. Of course, there are the standard bad guys well played by Jean Reno, and the standard hostages. But Bruce Willis, even though skilled was not an ex-marine or anything like that.
This is really more of an Under Siege (1992) knockoff where someone popes up unexpected with extraordinary skills. Still hard to believe that scrawny 5' 6¼ inch (1.69 m) Ruby Rose who thinks she is The Lady Vanishes (1938).
Any way just because this is a basic formula and maybe not your favorite actors, it was executed quite well and will hold your attention.
The Satan Bug (1965)
This is not one of those big bug movies.
I was disappointed that there were no big bugs and Satan never showed.
Of course, I saw the trailer first so I knew that there were not going to be any big bugs like in Tarantula or Them!
This is based on the book "The Satan Bug" , a first-person narrative thriller novel written by Scottish author Alistair MacLean. But remember the word is based; so, if you read the book, it will do you no good and you may be disappointed.
Basically, there is this quaint little laboratory in the middle of the desert called station three. They design all kinds of germs and antidotes. We know why they do this. Looks like someone has pilfered a few flasks containing botulism and their favorite virous called "The Satan Bug" hence the name of the movie.
I will not go through the story as it is fun for you to watch as the secrets unfold. Then watch again with what you learned the first time to see the clues placed before you.
The are to many exceptional actors of the time (1965) to name but some of them are George Maharis (Exodus -1960), Richard Basehart (Moby Dick -1956), Anne Francis (Forbidden Planet - 1956), and of all people a young Edward Asner (Muppets Haunted Mansion - 2021.)
A side bit of fun is looking at the old-time cars, phones with wires, clothing, and hairstyles. Watch and you will see other ancient stuff.
The bottom line is the this is a well-played out "will the world be saved?" movie.
Super Icyclone (2024)
Really stupid - You will love it.
Yep, another formula disaster movie. They do not even try to mask it with any plausibility. According to the climatologist, Jill, played by Brigitte Kingsley this just cannot happen. Hope your windows are closed and cats are inside.
We are lucky that they use all the standard cliches with straight faces. You may miss sharks but the tornados can spit out just as lethal ice spikes. Even more luck is that we do not have to wait half way through the movie to see icy action.
They follow the formula perfectly so we can guess what happens accurately. The fun is in seeing that they do it correctly not logically. We get lots of stay in the car scenes. (I know you are not supposed to stay in the car in a tornado movie.) One of the highlights of the movie is cell phones that no longer get service and other cell phones that stop working when the lights go out.
I cannot believe they gave up eating spaghetti for a romp in a hot tub! Which reminds me one day you need to watch "Eating Raoul" (1982).
At least this movie should put a little spike in your life. Some people may think this movie sucks. But that is what it is supposed to do.
Constantine (2005)
A long anti-smoking commercial
The story is simple; self-centered John Constantine: Hellblazer (Keanu Reeves) did a "no-no" in his youth ensuring him a place in the underworld and to compound, the problem he is to be short-lived due to a smoking habit.
In meantime, due to his accident, he can see angels and demons. Even though he is conceited and knows where he will be going, he still finds time to do some good for mankind and in the process sends a few demons back to where they came from.
Something has gone wrong with the balance. And with the aid of his young sidekick and a medium that is well done by (Rachel Weisz), he intends to get to the nature of the problem.
The character of Constantine comes from the DC comic world and has been modified a tad to fit a movie with a beginning middle and end.
I could not help but notice Tilda Swinton who played Gabriel. She made you feel that you were watching a first-class movie.
The only redeeming feature of the value of the movie is not the movie itself but the audio track that explains what they are trying to do in the making of the movie. You could just bypass the movie and listen to the voice-over audio instead and save yourself two hours.
I think I should have watched the two-disk version as even with the audio track they refer to many things that are not in the movie.
The Great Dictator (1940)
Look up Hanna
"The soul of man has been given wings"
This movie is hyped up causing some sort of frenzy; someone calls it a classic or likes the thought that someone is mocked, and the next person repeats it until everyone gives this less than mediocre film a positive spin when reviewing it.
This is Chaplin way past his prime still trying to be a Keystone Cop and using mundane slapstick humor years after the film industry became more sophisticated. From the first scene you ask, "This is a top-star movie?" and it goes downhill from there. The sets are cardboard, and the camera is pretty much still.
If you like films that mock the era a much better production was rendered by Jack Benny and Carole Lombard in To Be or Not to Be (1942).
The basic story is of a dictator and a barber "that is not all there" getting their Identities crossed. Chaplin gets to play both parts. The only redeeming value of the movie is the acting of Henry Daniell who played Garbitsch. Then again, he is a veteran actor and can be seen in over 60 films including The Woman in Green (1945) as Prof. Moriarty.
All the people are exaggerated stereotypes (maybe on purpose) and this distracts from the story like having a musical with songs not related to the movie.
If you can make it to the end of the film, you get a long tedious speech in the style of Ayn Rand however not quite as good. "The sun shines and the wind blows."
Ready or Not (2019)
"It's All in the Game" - recorded by Tommy Edwards.
Grace (Samara Weaving) marries into a fun family with a great tradition. Looks like wedding nights are game nights as they should be. Let us see, "How About a Nice Game of Chess?," or maybe hide and seek with a tad of a twist?
Yes, this is one of those polarizing movies that you either cannot stand or you immerse yourself in and kibitz.
I do not mind telling you that it has a lot of gratuitous blood and guts. It is sort of a slasher version of "Clue"; however not quite as complex.
Se get to be familiar with quite a few unique weapons. This May be helpful in the future in case you are in the game.
Will we survive the night? Do we want to survive the night?
Duck!
Should they make a sequel or two?
Oppenheimer (2023)
"Your reproductive system is more exposed them mine, presumably." Lilli Horning
I was pretty disappointed from the beginning. They spend more time on sparkling pictures of sub atomics then facts or story. Then it only gets worse from there. We get flashbacks in flashbacks in flashbacks. To help in the confusion sometime it is in black and white, and other times it is in full color without any relations as to why. Then there is that awful tinkling music that permeates but does not enhance the experience. The birthday suit scenes were fun to watch, but they were gratuitous. Can you say soap opera?
On the positive side it was fun to see all the different major actors and think, " Now where have I seen him/her before?" It looked like everyone wanted to get into the act. This was not a venue for out of work, over the hill actors. In the middle of the soap opera there were some real personalities and facts that gave the production some value.
The whole thing turns into a shallow conspiracy story. Or is it?
A side note is that it was interesting to see that Leslie Groves: Matt Damon wore the same shoulder patch that I did while I was in the Army Map Service.
No Country for Old Men (2007)
A cheap Fargo knockoff.
A pointless program with pointless scenes starting from nowhere and going nowhere. This could pass time, but it has no socially redeeming value. All there is, is violence for violence's sake and then maybe not for that. Dogs get shot and we have to drive in 80's vehicles.
The actors must have been hard up for a film to make. The same people are major actors and all I can think of is that someone must have had something on them; because you could not pay them enough to compromise their career.
It is the primitive pre-cell 80's. The unsuspecting good greedy victim was decided to be made a two true Vietnam (60's) person; this is supposed to make him cunning and may be dangerous. I spent two tours, and I am anything but cunning or dangerous. And I never saw a Remington 700BDL (designed for snipers.) Not saying they did not exist, but we did things the old fashion way with M14's (No bolts) accurate enough for Government work.
On the plus side is that the Texas country was beautiful, and Tommy Lee Jones can still make an interesting face.
Pandorum (2009)
Mundane standard space opera
Lt. Payton (Dennis Quaid) and Cpl. Bower (Ben Foster) wake-up from hyper-sleep to find that they have selective amnesia from the experience. It is a rude awakening to a seemingly dead space ship later to find that they may be hors d'oeuvres.
The film passes time and everyone tries very hard. However, there are only so many ways to do space kung-fu and many other mischievous things. Antje Traue adds a little energy to the story.
I am not saying that you will not like the movie. Many people want the formula and nothing too innovative. If you are looking for something exceptional or innovative, you have come to the wrong place. Watch the original "Planet of the Apes" for a better ending surprise and escape.
I have only seen the Blu-Ray disc, so I cannot compare it to the other presentations, a theatrical trailer, and much more. Be sure to take the time for the Audio Commentary with director Christian Alvart and producer Jeremy Bolt. This is one of the few movies that the DVD extras do not contribute to its enhancement.
The Call of the Wild (2020)
Do not expect the book or the older movies.
Gold was found in Alaska, the rush to obtain it required a strong constitution and many dogs to do the work that horses usually did in the states. The environment bread harsh attitudes. Also, in the testing of one's mettle, one finds one's true potential.
Buck (a dog that is half St Bernard and half Shepherd) goes through many lives, trials, and tribulations finally realizing his potential. On the way he learns many concepts from surprise to deceit, and cunning; he also learns loyalty, devotion, and love. As he is growing, he feels the call of the wild.
The title was preserved. The script somewhat follows the story and the people somewhat follow the tale. However, this is a unique movie in itself. There is more of today's political correctness and the violence was watered-down a tad.
In this presentation, we have a CGI dog which allows for many expressions that do not need elaboration. It is really good to see a Buck that realizes his potential and also sees the call of the wild throughout the movie. There are a lot of good actors that played John Thornton in other movies. But Harrison Ford takes the cake as a more rounded character and has to play opposite the CGI hound. We talk a lot about Harrison and forget the other actors; I was surprised to see Cara Gee as Francoise. If you watch the DVD do not forget to watch the extras.
Nice voice-over as Buck and John are led to their destiny. And we too feel the call of the wild.
Be sure to read The Call of the Wild by Jack London.
You will find the ending of the book close but more of a tear-jerker.
Cold Skin (2017)
What kind of creatures are we?
Standard politically correct movie. Good guy vs bad guy. Creatures substituted as the other guys. Lots of heavy slow music plays as the main character. You can correct this by turning off the sound and watching subtitles.
"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you" - Friedrich Nietzsche
The basic story takes place in 1914 the heir of the Austrian throne was, murdered and we all know what that implies.
"Friend" played by David Oakes wants to get away from it all and takes the post of weather observer on an isolated island only it is not isolated enough. He shares with the politically incorrect Gruner played by Ray Stevenson. Together they must find their way of dealing with the natives.
You probably know the story by heart. So, you watch for the details and nuances. Unfortunately, it is plodding, and you have to deal as I said previously with constant background noise... oops, music.
Chronicle (2012)
Great Blu-ray - the credits were exceptional
Many people watch superpower hero movies. Quite a few have read the comic books behind most of them. And of course, speculate as to what it would be like if you had the powers.
Put on a towel and jump off the roof. It is much more thrilling than this movie. I suppose it is a popular gimmick nowadays, but "Blair Witch" movies do not thrill me. If you enjoy this type of presentation, then definitely watch the movie "Apollo 18" it is just as hokey.
Three teens (Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell, and Michael B. Jordan) fall in a hole. It is too bad they did not stay there. Of course, if they had we would not have much of a movie I guess, such that it is. Then came the proverbial powers. It is not so bad watching them struggle with their newfound abilities, but having to watch it on a phony homemade movie genre is more than one can take. You can guess the outcome before it starts; so, you better enjoy these people throwing objects around and throwing more objects around and throwing more objects around until they run at objects that are around.
Hannibal (2001)
HANNIBAL where are the elephants?
Two elements are missing right off - Victor Mature and the elephants. Annibale (1960) aka Hannibal (1960) (USA)
As they say in the Alps, "It is all downhill from here." Now available.
Not being too enamored with the book, the movie could not disappoint me. A few characters were combined, and some plot nuances were glossed over; the ending varied from the book. However, the entire feeling was still there. I felt that they were using a lot of filters and once in a while showing extra scenery for the atmosphere. On the plus side, Julianne Moore fits the part of the tasty Clarice Starling. And you could not make the movie without Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter.
See Anthony Hopkins again in "84 Charring Cross Road", where he looks across the table and says, "Very nice, very tasty." The film "84 Charring Cross Road", was exceptionally good and so was the adaptation from the novel to film.
This film, Hannibal (2001), is not just about a man-eating people like many critics have written but it is more in-depth and complex about the relationship of a psychopathic physiologist and an F. B. I. Agent. The film is about Hannibal Lecter who is found to be living in Venice after he escaped the U. S and Mason Verger, his fourth victim, is trying to get justice done by himself by catching Hannibal and making him suffer himself. I will not continue because I am afraid that I might give too much away as the trailer did for this movie.
All I have to say is that if you have not seen this movie then you should definitely go see it and I would like to praise Ridley Scott for making an even better film than Gladiator. If you have a strong stomach, you just HAVE to see this movie. If you do not, do not watch it.
Rio Bravo (1959)
A real western with a little fun tossed in
This is John Wayne. You can spot the formula and most of his supporting actors for other John Wayne movies. O. K. You can also see that it is a Howard Hawks movie. It has that Howard Hawks feel.
Dean Martin plays himself as Dude. And Ricky Nelson as Colorado Ryan fits in this movie. Do I hear a song coming on?
The story is of good guys are holding the Daddy in the jail. All his compadres want him out. It is up to the town characters to prevent this from happening. How this is done or not done in the movie.
There may be something going on between Sheriff John T. Chance (John Wayne) and Feathers (Angie Dickinson.)
The only thing this movie needed to be perfect is black and white hats.
No Offence (2015)
In need of a translator
The TV series 2015 - 2018 is designed to be a standard British witty police comedy-drama. It actually tries to follow the formula.
Unfortunately, it has a slew of drawbacks. First, they rattle too fast with a slur of British speech impediments that includes lesser-known idioms. Then if you can not make out what they are saying you can go through the program with subtitles. You will have to pause the action to read the titles and interpret them. Next, we have to think like them to extrapolate anything that is supposed to be humor. The actors that have been in hundreds of other programs are not recognizable and seem amateurish. Then there is no environments real ort imaginary as this ridiculous police station.
I could go on but as you have guessed I did not finish the series as I have no intention of wasting time that can be spent on good programs. Even "Dr. Who" is better designed.
World War Weird (2017)
Odd but not weird
This is an interesting series. A few items are too out there to be real. However, stopping every 15 minutes and looking up the stuff on the net you will find most of it is even conservative in nature.
Many of the subjects or weird stuff seems to have been left out of major motion pictures. I was familiar with the movies "The Man Who was Never There" and many of the other subjects.
My surprises were with such things as lime decease. When I was in the military while taking a test for promotion, I got one answer wrong. They asked wat is a vector and I said it was ether a math symbol pointing in a particular direction or it was a computer term pointing to the next sentence. Wrong the answer was it was a biological (usually an insect) that carries a decease. Hence lime disease is carried by ticks. Like West Nile virus is carried by mosquitoes.
Much of the information from the program is already well known. But now and then, here and there, is a stumper as bats and dogs carrying bombs.
Alien Species (1998)
Endless running from the Sleestak.
Release date is Germany January 23, 1998(video premiere)
Nightmare Worlds 50 DVD collection has the date at 1996.
This is one of the crumbiest movies you will come across. It is too cheap to be campy. Very low budget and it shows from the beginning. They Borrowed the Sleestak suits from "Land of the Lost" a 1974-1976 TV series. You can see the zippers.
Who are these actors? Surly not good ones that just need a little extra money. Name one that you have seen before. Maybe they are relatives of the producer or director.
A tad of blood, but mostly running, running, screaming and screaming.
The world is being attacked by aliens for nefarious purposes. The poor aliens never dreamed that we would shoot them down with an old-style anti-tank weapon that just happened to be available.
All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)
An in-depth look at war and people's attitudes.
The country is at war and Paul Bäumer (Lew Ayres) is in school. His instructor is proud that Paul is volunteering to protect his country. He and his classmates are off on an adventure. This adventure will challenge the way they look at life and, in the process, change our life outlook.
On the surface, this looks like a pacifist or anti-war movie. One may think this has something to do with an enemy's view of war. Also, there is a tendency to pick the film apart because it is not the book.
This story is more of a, don't get "overzealous" movie. At least do not let someone mesmerize you. It even happened in the contemporary film "Private Benjamin" (1980). She was promised the army with private condos. Again, we see the zealous ones in "Starship Troopers" (1997) where the movie shows the romantic side of the war.
As far as the rating of the movie, it is ridiculous to compare a movie that has to pass censors and only has 130 minutes with the book. Naturally, the book is going to be more thorough and descriptive. What we can compare it to is the original movie "Westfront 1918" (1930) directed by George Wilhelm Pabst (1885-1967), "All Quiet on the Western Front" (1979), and "All Quiet on The Western front (2022.) Check them all out including the audio reading of the book.
The points are made much clearer in "Westfront 1918" even though is shorter it is a 5-star movie. Especially when we return to the schoolroom to see the teacher inspiring the next generation of students to become soldiers. "All Quiet on the Western Front" (1930) however is easier to understand than "West Front". You can spend more time on the message and less on the translation from German. In either film, the actual downtime (between actions) drove me crazy as I remembered the time that we were not fighting or planning something in Vietnam was when I got antsy. The 1979 movie is a boring TV-type movie with "John Boy" Richard Thomas, playing the part of Paul Bäumer. The only good part is when he got shot.
The film was shot in black and white but is still pretty graphic. It deserves to be seen on a big screen. At one point they also sing "Watch on the Rein."
"Im Western Nichts Neues" By Remarque: "He fell in October 1918, on a day that was so quiet and still on the whole front, that the army report confined itself to the single sentence: 'All quiet on the Western Front.'"
You will want to read "Erich Maria Remarque's All Quiet on the Western Front (Bloom's Modern Critical Interpretations)"
Bedlam (1946)
The story suggested by The William Hogarth painting Bedlam plate 8 "The Rake's Progress
Once again Val Lewton takes what would have been a second-rate horror story and turns it into a sit on the edge of your seat psychological thriller. The basic question of the story is the same as the one in his movie "Ghost Ship;" that is, is man fundamentally good and helpful to others, or is he so self-centered that he will act even to his ultimate demise? An added element is that of not quite being granted all mental faculties.
The year is 1791 Lord Mortimer (Billy House) is just one of the upper classes (Wiggs) that gets his kicks from watching the loonies of Bedlam loon. His protégé (Anna Lee) is discussed at the treatment of the "guests" by the head apothecary, Master George Sims (Boris Karloff who can act). She attempts to correct this to the detriment of Lord Mortimer. So, Lord Mortimer and Sims invite her as a guest to Bedlam.
Will she ever get out or just go crazy. While there she applies a theory supplied by a Quaker (Richard Fraser), one of the Society of Friends if this works the tables may turn on Sims. What can Sims say in his defense?
