Road House (2024)
Biggest pile of dog dodo!! (SPOILERS)
(SPOILERS ALERT) I was so excited to see this movie.. I really was. Although it has to be said that I'm not the biggest fan of Jake Gyllanhall. It was the thought of an updated version of the classic. Now I've seen it, when I say "version" I really do mean it in the loosest terms. Because if you go into this film expecting a homage to the original you are going to be bitterly disappointed. There's only one thing the same and that's his name, Dalton. Everything else is different. So now I'm reviewing it as a brand new film with no connection to the classic.
All I can say is that, if, like me, you love action movies, you won't like this. There's a few fight scenes but they aren't on long and I was left feeling deflated. I don't know what to say about Connor McGregor 🙃 he was a bit too comedic for me. I didn't want a comedy. Maybe a couple of sniggers but I wanted ACTION.
I won't be watching it again. I won't be buying it. I've told my friends to make up their own mind. But I think the best part was played by the Croc!
Please! Can someone actually make another one as homage to Patrick and the gorgeous Sam Elliot.
I want to see Dalton and Wade Garrett teaming up!!! I want to see people saying "I thought you'd be bigger!"
So very disappointed. 2 hours of my life I will never get back. Gutted. Totally.
The Winter King (2023)
I can't believe the hate!
I am so shocked that the reviews are so bad for this show. I opened up the app and searched for it, I was expecting to see over 8 as a score. The first episode wasn't the best, but after that it just gets better and better. I think the acting is good and the storyline is different to the one I know but it doesn't put me off.
I haven't read the books so I'm only going off the programme itself. Is it entertaining? YES. Does it leave you wanting more? YES. Do you look forward to the next episode? YES. Does it take your mind off the world at the moment? YES.
If you have an open mind and want to escape for a few hours.. then I'd say give this a go. I really liked it.
The Predator (2018)
The haters will always hate because they think is a remake!
Right, let's get this very clear. I am not a professional review writer. I'm just a 55 year old woman that loves a good action movie. Yes, Predator from the 80's was great but this is nothing like that at all. The only similar thing is the Predator.. But this has a lot more to the story. I have to say that this kept me engrossed right to the very end and I was sad it had ended. All of the characters are very likeable. Especially the main man and his kid. When you like the characters you care what happens to them and that keeps you interested.
I can only think the other reviewers haven't reviewed the film on its merit. I thought the storyline was well thought of and the action was really exciting!
If you are looking for a great action sci-fi film with no preconceptions of what it should and shouldn't be like then honestly give it a go.
I really liked it so much that I scored it 9 and I'd watch it again and again. Got it on DVD so I can..
Misanthrope (2023)
Honest review from someone that likes to be entertained
Honestly I wasn't expecting much. I'd never heard of the female lead but I did like Ben Mendolson. So I thought we'll I'll give it a go. From word go I was captivated. You know I love a film if I don't pick up my phone for over 2 hours!
I'm an action movie fan, so I love Crime programmes and cops etc. This was just fantastic. Loved both of the leads, they both played brilliant parts. I was actually left mouth open and shocked at some parts and there aren't many films I watch that can do that to me. Expect the unexpected. Give this film a go like I did. You won't be disappointed. If you like a film to transport you out if this humdrum world then this is the film for you!

Mr. Malcolm's List (2022)
Why all the hate?
I enjoyed this film. The cast were good and I liked the storyline. I don't understand all the hate. If a film is entertaining and takes you out of the real world for an hour and a half I see that as a win. It captivated me and kept me interested. That's all I want from a movie. I especially like period pieces. They are just easy to watch. I like to see the old costumes and hear how they talk. It's a really good adaptation in my mind.
I can't understand all the hate unless they are from fellas that don't like period dramas. If this isn't your genre then why bother watching it. I think most ladies would like it. It's a great escape from the real world which isn't a great place to be.
Don't believe the hate, I actually enjoyed this.
Luther: The Fallen Sun (2023)
Why the haters.. normal person normal review
Speaking as a fan of movies and tv, I can't see why everyone is hating this made for tv movie? I am not normally one to leave reviews unless I think a film or series has received reviews that I feel are unfair. I judge a movie by one thing.. Did it keep my attention and was I pleased I watched it? Yes to both. Not once did I think of turning it off. Yeah I imagine it does have some plot holes and someone said the acting was bad? I didn't notice. I thought it was edge of your seat stuff from start to finish. It was the quickest 2 hours of my life. I was surprised that it was that long. It really did put me on edge and a few times I shouted "bloody hell" at the tv.
Idris is Luther, I thought he played a great part and Andy Serkis is brilliant! Good story, good cast and very enjoyable.
Don't listen to the haters.. judge for yourself!
Mayor of Kingstown (2021)
One of the best shows in a very long time.
Wowser! I don't write reviews very often but after binge watching this I felt I had to! When I got to the last episode I didn't want it to end and that's a sign of how great it was! Being from the UK and never been to prison it was a subject I knew little about. I don't know if there is much truth to it and honestly I don't care. I only know that this show grabbed my attention from word go!
The actors played amazing parts. Jeremy Renner wow!! He's not just a pretty face! Iris, Robert, Pete, Bunny to name but a few. They all did an outstanding job. Obviously I am already a massive fan of Yellowstone so I knew this was from the same people. It had big shoes to fill and fill them it did. It was one of those shows that I didn't want to turn off. I had to go to see my family and I only had 1 and a half episodes left.. I made an excuse about having to get home for the dog.. I was desperate to see the rest and I knew I had to savour those last minutes.
Season 2 pretty please!!!! Pretty please!! Cos I can't wait!
Morbius (2022)
I don't get the hate?
Firstly, I'm not a serial reviewer. I only review something when I feel strongly about it. I absolutely loved this film! I love action, horror and tense movies and this was right down my alley. I honestly don't get why all the hate. I review a film for being entertaining and thoroughly watchable. I don't care if it's not like the books, previous movies, games or comics. I just review the film for what it is!
And this kept me on the edge of my seat. Matt Smith is simply WOW! He really plays a great part. Jared is amazing as usual but I think Matt stole the show.
If you have no pre-conceptions then give this movie a go. I really did enjoy it xx.
Uncharted (2022)
It's a great movie. Ignore the haters and just enjoy
I saw one review saying that he took 2 points off his review due to the other bad reviews regarding how it wasn't like the game. What???? Review the film for being a film, not take points off because some other reviewers didn't like it!!!
I thought the film (which is what I'm reviewing) great! Fun and action packed from start to finish. Loved Mark Wahlberg and definitely Tom Holland! It's a great story line and the casting just compliments that so much. Let me say.....I have never played the game on any format. I am reviewing the film as I found it with no connection to the game whatsoever.
I thought it was great, a proper treasure Hunter movie with great CGI and lots of great stunts and the action was a definite 10/10 for me. I took one point off because at times it was a little cheesy, but not enough to spoil the film for me.
Don't judge because of a silly game. Judge for the pure entertainment it provides. Time flew by for me because I was genuinely entertained. End of!
Girlfriends of Christmas Past (2016)
I love all the Christmas cheese but this is too cringeworthy for me
I really do love all the low budget Christmas films. I record them all from the Christmas channels on sky. You get lots of the films with the same actors. I don't even mind that because some of the actors are very likeable.
But this one just didn't do it for me. Everytime the ladies tried to sabotage something, it would go wrong and I'd be sat there totally cringing. Utterly awful.
It made me squirm from start to finish. Just gave me a really bad feeling rather than the other films that made me feel good inside. I was on tenterhooks all the was through and I don't think that was the idea. The three ladies trying to make this guy pay for cheating whilst they were all dating him at the same time must have been squirming when they filmed it. It just didn't give us the feeling we were looking for. We want that feel good Christmas movie. Not a film that makes you feel bad. This falls very short
Sorry, just not the big cheese I was hoping for!
Christmas Belle (2013)
The bloody music!!!
This film would have been a 7 or an 8 if I could have heard the actors speaking. It would have been a lovely Christmas film if it hadn't have been for the background music. It never stops. It's in the background from start to finish. I wouldn't have cared if it had been so much quieter. I tried to turn the volume up but then when the ads came on they would make us jump! The male lead had a very quiet tone of voice.
I actually liked the actors playing the parts it's just all about the blooming awful music.
I think there are more reviews saying this but I have to make my own mind up when I watch anything unless the reviews are REALLY bad. But if there is one good review I'll normally give it a go.
