Silent Night (2023)
Silent night, holy sh**e
Well, you can't blame the script writers for the bad dialogue.
The director on the other hand, well that's another story.
Ok, so, sad, son gets killed, this is the main reason his dad gets all angry and goes after the gang responsible.
But to keep replaying tedious, pointless and downright annoying shots of him and his son over and over again, alright, we get it, enough already.
Then there is the build up, the looooooong build up to get to the action, it's just so boring.
It feels like they wanted a Wick type movie, guy drives a mustang etc, but it just got on my wick.
Avoid this, it's really not worth it, or just skip to the end to see some gang members getting shot.
Daisy Jones & The Six (2023)
It's only Rock n Roll, but I really liked it, no I really really liked it.
There aren't to many shows that I get hooked on from the first episode like I did with this.
The acting, the script, the characters & of course, the music, are really good.
The band and the stage performances of Daisy resemble that of Stevie Nicks, so the band's comparison to Fleetwood Mac is spot on.
Set like a documentary where the characters talk about certain moments from the past, the band's downfall is given to you at start, but how the rise and fall happens is played out through the 10 Episodes.
The ending is fantastic, it gives the opportunity for a follow up, which I would love to see happen, but if it doesn't then I will definitely be rewatching Daisy Jones & Six again and again.
Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Simply sensational
Well it's been a long time coming.
Not just the time between Top Gun and Maverick, but in the fact it was on hold until after the pandemic.
But it's been well worth the wait.
The entire movie wasn't just a trip down memory lane, it's an incredible, seat of your pants, non stop action movie.
This Is England '90 (2015)
This is England, this is brilliant
This review is for the entire This Is England series across the 80's and ending in 1990.
All the characters are brilliantly cast, the story and stories to each character is so well written.
I got into the show late on, and binged it.
I would love to have a "where are they now?" Episode, but at the same time I am happy to leave that to my imagination.
The Batman (2022)
Hats of to the Bats
Fantastic movie, maybe a bit to long, might have shaved 30 mins off, but it's still excellent stuff.
Riddler is an absolute nutter, so good.
Farrell as Penguin is brilliant, you would never have guessed it was him.
Kravitz combines cool, fragile, strong as cat woman.
Pattison plays Bruce Wayne/Batman brilliantly.
It's a must watch, action is great, plot it very good, really worth seeing.
The Wheel of Time (2021)
Fantasy smantasy
I confess to never reading the books, so coming into this series with no expectations.
Thankfully, because this is as soppy, boring and dry as anything I have ever seen.
The script/writing is so bad it's only beaten by the mind numbing acting.
However, the action happily makes up for it's shortcomings, whoops, sorry, the action is as rare as the entertainment.
Yawn x10.
No Time to Die (2021)
No time to die but make time to watch this
Wow, from the start to the finish, 2.5 hours doesn't drag. The writing is on the wall early on to what is going to happen at the end, but it's still entertaining. I loved the musical references to earlier Bond movies, very nicely done. Daniel Craig had relaunched Bond. Here is hoping the next re-boot is of the same, no change in character gender please.
Red Notice (2021)
Bed Notice
What a cast, Gal Gadot excepted as she is totally over hyped, what an opportunity, what a fail.
It's all stuff done before just done poorly, nothing original and really not much in the way of entertaining. I really enjoy The Rock and Ryan Reynolds, but the script and substance behind this is woeful.
Fear Street: 1994 (2021)
What's more frightening is there are 2 more to come!!
Well this had the feel of a Stranger Things type thing, but sadly it's totally lame.
The script is as bad as the acting, and the acting is hopeless.
Stay away from this dross.
A Quiet Place Part II (2020)
Thoroughly enjoyable
I really enjoyed the first movie and I'm always a little nervous with sequels, but this movie is a very fine watch.
The suspension, the amazing acting, strong cast makes this a must see.
Nobody (2021)
An absolute blast
I can honestly say this is an absolute cracker.
Great acting, great script, great fun.
It's a movie that doesn't take itself seriously, but has some seriously good action scenes.
Don't waste time, go see it.
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Blunder Woman
Oh no, please, how could you. Covid, a year without a movie experience and we had to sit through a dry arid script, poor acting & a stupid plot. Going into lockdown now just to rethink things.
Just Mercy (2019)
Just mercy, great watch
This is a wonderful movie. A well written and fantastically acted movie. Such an emotional movie, and one that clearly shows that colour shows guilt more than actual evidence
The Long Good Friday (1980)
The best of British
Every single British movie made says "The best ever long Good Friday ". And that says it all. 40 years later and it's still the best
1pm Daily Update (2020)
Awful script, awful acting.
Let's be honest, the only reason there is a season 2 is the poor production company have allowed a monumental mistake through complacency.
The actress who plays the prime minister is awful, she should take up another job, perhaps child minding.
The Dead Don't Die (2019)
The dead don't die, the review won't lie.
I get cult movies,I really do. But this is so awful.
It feels like it's trying to be like Fargo with its pace, but it's just so bad. Avoid this terrible film
Joker (2019)
It's not a Superhero movie, it is a super movie
Dark,moody,great acting, great script, great movie.
This is what separates Marvel from DC in their comic books, the dirt under your finger nails DC from the Clean cut Marvel.
Phoenix has to get an Oscar for his role.
A absolute watch
The Angry Birds Movie 2 (2019)
Bird Brained
Ok, so my review would be biased, I'm a dad taking her daughter to the movie, and I will be totally honest, I really wasn't excited about watching it, however my daughter was, so off we went to see it.
Halfway through my daughter wakes me up and says, Dad, I'm bored with this movie can I go home. Enough said if she even found it to be a waste of time.
Angel Has Fallen (2019)
Angel is boring
Look, I know the first 2 movies were never going to win awards, but they were entertaining. This in the other hand has no connection to the first 2 or is it any fun, it is so so poor.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Stark Naked
Well, I never thought I would be in a movie theatre where men and woman were crying in a superhero movie, but it happened.
Robert Downey gave his best performance to date imho.
Cheering, laughing, crying, and a good old fashioned round of applause at the end, says it all. A very good movie, I scored 8.5. I would definitely go and see it again, after I did I might give it a 9.
Fitting finale to a fantastic franchise
Billions (2016)
Billions and zilions
One of the best written, best acted programme out there. Game of thrones in a business world
Widows (2018)
Boring, boring, boring
Sheesh, what a slow, boring movie.
I remember the original TV series in the UK, it was very popular and hard hitting.
This movie though had the promise of being worth a watch, but the slow direction was just painful.
Avoid this movie
Polar (2019)
Bye Polar
Poor story
Poor script
Poor acting
Wick wannabe
Get past that and you might enjoy it
Jaws (1975)
Here come the head, every time I jump, every time!!
A true classic.
Great acting, bad hats, rubbery shark.
44 years later and I'm still asking for a bigger boat!!
Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)
Simply fantastic
What an amazing film, so well pieced together especially as there are no memoirs to consult, just what the other remaining band members say. Acting is first class.
Best movie I have seen this year
