The Gallows Pole (2023)
My perfect cup of tea
No idea why this gets so many bad reviews. The dialogue is playful and refreshing. As is the story.
No period drama with ultra rich playing bitchy games with each other but common people. Not stuffed in the background and basing their whole lives around serving those deemed "better then them" or just walking around going "my life is so bleak", but who show love and friendship towards each other. And they have fun.
Add the soundtrack and Michael Socha and you get, for me at least the perfect mix.
Also educational. I mean I looked up the practice of clipping coins and did a bit of digging on the internet.
Just great, really.
Deep Water (2022)
Three stars for the three stars
The house, the girl, the dog.
Just skips to scene's featuring one of these three and enjoy.
Beige Ben is being beige again, and no idea what the wife is getting out of this. In real life she would have returned to France the second the kid was born.
The Craft: Legacy (2020)
Why the earrings?
Unless I'm forgetting something from the original, I cannot for the life of me figure out why the main character, from the very first scene, has these very prominent earrings that don't quite fit her atheistic. I kept waiting for the "connection" with her birth mom. Talking of her birth mom, great to see Fairuza Balk at the end. She carried the original, and in all honesty they would have made a better movie if they'd taken it from there.
I mean rather than it being along the line sof the first one; ie "girl finds out she's a witch" it should have been "Fairuza Balk's character from the Craft is reunited with her daughter". THAT would be a better movie.
Cinderella (2021)
Sure, it's silly. It's a kids movie!
Ignore the horrible reviews. Just a bit of fun. Nice to see some famous English comedians going global :)
Clickbait (2021)
Poorly acted or poorly scripted
I'm sure if the script is so bad that the actors can't make it credible, or the acting is so bad it makes the script seem flat.
What I am sure of is that the characters are unlikable, the police that are portrayed are inept (ie they keep giving witnesses information), the youngest kid needs a therapist, and the writers don't know how social media or "the young people of today" work.
Currently on episode three and waiting for a story to emerge....
WHY AM I WATCHING THIS!
The Pack (2020)
Bad version of "Me and my dog."
In 2017 the BBC did a show in which 8 dogs and their owners took on challenges in the Lake District working as a team. It involved mutts, mud, hard work and sincere touching moments as the bond between dog and human was shown.
This is well trimmed designer pooches, trained before hand and obviously scripted with various re-shoots. Such a shame to create a glamorized version :(
The Book Tower (1979)
Can't remember it, but it was great!
Unfortunately I can't remember much about this show, expect that my older brother and me utterly utterly LOVED it. Just heard the theme (from Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Variations") and was suddenly awash with nostalgia!
