Probably or is the best film I've ever watched.
8 February 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This film is both heart wrenching and magical. I've never cried this much over a movie it's not for those looking for a happy go lucky movie. It's more for people maybe looking to reconnect to their emotions. This movie is profound and has so much depth that if you've ever felt grief. Unless you have no feelings,It will reach you on a personal level. Certainly did with me anyway I remember losing my nan at age 11 and seeing my dad cry for the first time. This film brought back my inner childhood. The film tells the story about a young boy, that's struggling with the fact his mom is dying of cancer. He's also getting bullied at school and hates the idea he will have to live with his nan when she is really ill. He's very angry and takes some of it out on his nan.Until he realises his nan is grieving too! because she's losing his mom/her daughter. It's very sad but I'd watch it again. Liam Neeson is powerful as the voice in his dreams. Acting of the boy is amazing that he just grabs you and rips your heart out. As usual a great performance from Sigourney Weaver as the Grandmother. I feel like crying and it's the next day. I found the film healing me,myself and my grief I have suffered. It makes you realise for some of us we've never really let go of our emotions. It makes you realise even though love is never enough it's still left behind in you and others the that person leaves behind. Great film,highly recommended.

Worst I've wa6
25 December 2020
Worst Hansel and Gretel film I've watched thought it might be a nice twist on the original. Very slow,uneventful worse film I've watched in a long while. Switched off after a short while couldn't hold my interest. Another bad film for 2020.AVOID!

Too slow uninteresting.
25 December 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is a below average film definitely not a 10+ as someone has put. It is a sci fi drama,but very slow and no build up of characters. I gave it a 4,which was probably because I've seen a lot worse. I'm a sci fan and was a big George Clooney fan until I saw The American. Since then hes been a bit hit and miss,this was a miss. Story was thin like the Ice in one part of the film. Like someone else said why was the earth uninhabitable? I presume it was nuclear war,as I'm guessing George Clooney had radiation sickness. Where had the ship come from and where was it going. A bit silly in places, like where he swims in icey water and survives. I didn't really care after an hour, It's one of them films you wait for something to happen and it all comes together. Call it that eureka moment, it never happens and your left with that void like in space. I would avoid if I'm being honest no suspense,predictable and boring. I'm not a film writer producer,director but I could have done better for the budget.You've been WARNED AVOID!

The Job Lot (2013–2015)
10/10
Why would you cancel a hit?
22 November 2020
Lets have this on Netflix season4 the best comedy since Only Fools And Horses. I actually didn't fancy it at first as i hate the job centre. The more i watched it the more i wanted. Itv2 will replace it with some reality tv tripe. We all need laughter in our lives. I suffer with depression i need more of this not the depressing crap they normally put on tv. Only watch old comedies now the new ones mostly suck apart from this one. Proper gutted.

Joker (I) (2019)
10/10
Joachin Phoenix is worth every penny
26 December 2019
I've watched most of Joachin Phoenix films, most have been wierd and underwhelming, Even though underneath it all he's obviously a very talented actor. I've always felt he's just picked not so great films to act in with not so great story lines or dialogue. Joachin Phoenix shines throughout this movie and truly shows what a very talented actor he is. I actually cant imagine anyone else to have played Joker,too even remotely as well as Joachin Phoenix.This film is triumphant and although I did go in expecting it to be a decent film, as it had pretty good reviews. I was gripped right from the beginning to the end with some edge of the seat scenes and it was a lot better than I was expecting to be honest. The storyline his character were good also, but it would not have worked so well with anyone else playing Joker. The very sad part of this film,like being let down by society is actually true as I've seen it first hand. I'm not talking about the USA, but the United Kingdom and it's getting worse as were sadly turning into an I'm alright jack society. Where mostly people just think about themselves which makes this film even more real to me. Anyway I'm rambling ,I actually agree that this film is a masterpiece and I'm not a fan usually of DC films. I think this film will be Joachin Phoenix's greatest success story as I cant see him topping this purely raw but superb movie. It would be nice now to see another Batman movie vs the Joker maybe Christian Bale as Batman and of course Joachin as Joker. I think that would be another film worth watching. Go watch it and enjoy an acting performance of a lifetime.

Wow and not for the right reasons
30 July 2019
This film has no realistic plot, maybe it's not supposed too, but to enjoy this movie you'll have to be completely brain dead.I can remember the old Godzilla movies,yes they looked plastic but at least you could see them in there entirety. There was always a buildup of characters in the films and the creature from the abyss, had an element of mysticism. In this film you can never see any creature clearly,there either obscured by smoke,fire,ice,clouds all water. I don't write many reviews but I felt I had too! so that people can avoid wasting there time watching this tripe. Far too much bad CGI and no story line,but I guess that's what films consist of now! I actually wrote this review whilst attempting to watch this awful movie. This film has put me off Godzilla movies for life.

Little Italy (2018)
9/10
Why the negative reviews it's great!
26 September 2018
It's cheesy,corny as hell and comedic just like the old romantic comedies.It's about time they went back to old school,who want's these so called dark comedies there depressing. Take a holiday from real life and watch this light hearted romantic comedy. I'm really surprised by all the negative reviews, maybe they like watching depressing movies. Or maybe I just like cheesy like my Pizza's. I really wasn't expecting this film to be so funny and entertaining it really brightened up my day. You can always tell why a comedy is funny by the short clips at the credits of the actors having fun making the film. If they have fun making it,it's always more fun to watch. Romantic comedy of the year for me. Loved it more please! Like another reviewer said eat pizza whilst watching it. Have fun!

Term Life (2016)
8/10
Really enjoyed this movie
12 May 2016
I'm really surprised about the mostly negative reviews about this movie.

I am a fan of Vince Vaughan but this was different from his usual comedy roles. There was some light hearted humour in this movie but certainly wouldn't categorize it as a comedy.

I found the film a little different entirely from most films and would probably categorize it as an action movie.

Anyway I thought Vince Vaughan played the part very well as a very methodical and clinical person who suddenly needs to protect his estranged daughter. I'm probably a little biased as I love Vince Vaughan's dry almost sarcastic sense of humour which still comes through in this part he plays.

The story was interesting and fresh with a few twists here and there. I kept my focus on the movie which is rare these days as I quite often drift off into oblivion especially the bad movies.

I thought the acting was good and Vince Vaughan kept his main character alive and interesting. I thought it proved that Vince can play other roles,so well done! Vince.

The ending was predictable but hell what film isn't there the best ones. So just enjoy the ride.

Romanticism dream movie
16 October 2015
Loved this movie it's not a comedy but it is light hearted. I'm a hopeless romantic so this film suited me! It may not be for everyone but you have to have an open mind when watching this film. Although some parts were pretty far fetched from experience love is far fetched. It's beautifully written and stirs up feelings from within you which is what a good film can do. The music matched the mood of the film. I thought the acting was great and the chemistry between the two lovers was very believable. The humor is very light hearted so if you go expecting to be laughing all the way through it you will be disappointed. If your going to watch a romantic film cuddled up with the wife or girlfriend you'll love it or at least your partner will! I actually fell in love with the actress myself as I watched this film,not just because she was beautiful but the innocence and sincerity she portrayed. Go watch it and enjoy!
