Descent (2005)
Cheesy but fun
Never gonna win any awards but watchable and well made. Effects quite good. I've seen worse and turned off better. Decent cast.
Aerials (2016)
Strangely compelling
Ok so it is not your Hollywood blockbuster , but it's a quirky , annoying production that is actually watchable to the end. The writers may have missed a trick or two. The Rubix cube issue I thought was a hint of why the aliens had arrived , and also the annoying moaning wife being confined to a wheel chair , thought that may be significant at the denouement.
The main characters are irritating , a lot of reviewers blaming the guy Amor , though in the cast listing is named Omar. I find her whiny and probably deserves his back chat.
There were jumpy moments and if there is a sequel , which the ending does call for , I would watch it.
Just for clarity , I have watched other films and had to leave them , this kept my attention. It is unsatisfying but novel.
Dead Man Weds (2005)
Enjoyable Northern Romp with funny cast!
I thoroughly enjoyed the 6 part series , especially funny was Johnny Vegas. Also loved the music , Good New Week , a sixties protest song by Hedgehoppers Anonymous. Michael Brandon and his security man Red were also excellent and Keith Barron as the Mayor was also superb , Barron being one of my favourite actors. Richard Bremner as the mad priest was inspired. Last saw him in The Sin Eater. Some of the jokes you could see coming from a mile off but so what? It was very satisfying with at least one guffaw per episode. I hope they give it a chance and do a second series. Well written in my opinion by Vegas and Dave Spikey. Definitely worth watching.
