Review Search Engine

[edit]

Does a search engine exist for critic reviews of films, albums, video games etc., including text search? Theskinnytypist (talk) 04:58, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Have you tried Metacritic? --Jayron32 11:23, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I meant a search engine a la Google, but for reviews only (not pages on those works). Theskinnytypist (talk) 18:54, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Chicago Med recreating an episode of Dr. Kildare

[edit]

The first episode of Chi Med, called "Derailed" had one patient whose story seemed to be a "haircut" or repeat with slight changes, of an episode of the old TV series Dr. Kildare (TV series), A boy, Jamie Dilson, with a dread respiratory disease, cystic fibrosis, comes into the hospital. An old doctor has been his friend since age eight. The boy does not want heroic measures (intubation in the new show) and is ready to die, since he has (treatable) pneumonia. The young doctor wants to do the horrible invasive treatment (intubation in the new show) to avoid sudden death. The old doctor asks how much time it would gain. A month, perhaps. The moral dilemma is allowing a youth to decide to end medical intervention and just die. In the new series, a lung transplant becomes a miraculous cure and there is happiness all around. I do not recall how the original episode ended. So what old episode does this new episode echo? The irony is the young doctor saying "They might find a cure soon!" just as in the episode from 50 or so years ago. Edison (talk) 06:12, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Dr Kildare episode is "The Sound of a Faraway Hill" (Season 4, Episode 6, October 1964). Not been able to track down the ending yet, I'm afraid. Tevildo (talk) 07:11, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Maria Marten, or The Murder in the Red Barn

[edit]

Is the dialogue in the film Maria Marten, or The Murder in the Red Barn in English or in French? I ask in relation to this edit. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 23:14, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's a British film, so that sounds reasonable. If you're still uneasy, there's a link in the article to download it and check. Clarityfiend (talk) 00:45, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
And the IMDB shows it as in English. The change to French must just have been a bit of vandalism. --76.69.45.64 (talk) 04:41, 28 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
