Ghosted (2023)
Lighthearted fun
This is a bit like The Lost City with Sandra Bullock or Knight & Day with Tom Cruise & Cameron Diaz. It's funny, lighthearted, and action packed. I watched with my son & we laughed along & enjoyed the story. Loved the surprise cameos, having the Falcon, the Winter Soldier & Cap all back together for a moment was thrilling for my boy, who loves them. I thought the chemistry of the two leads was great. I really don't understand some of the negativity, maybe people were expecting something more gritty. But, whatever others felt we both really enjoyed it. Anyway, i hope my review helped you decide if it's the movie you want to watch, enjoy!
Sanditon (2019)
Oh dear!
As a big Jane Austen fan its hard to watch this. Season one was ok/good with Theo James in. He was made to play that kind of character, but i didn't see chemistry between them, she's just so young next to him, it didn't work. But season 1, though not Jane Austen, in it's own right was ok. Season 2 was a complete shambles!! What on earth happened to the writers! Its was just awful. I struggled through to the end, hoping it would improve but it didn't & it looked like they had taken story lines from others so i knew exactly how each person's story would end. Really really poor quality. I feel sorry for the actors, clearly not their fault!
Anatomy of a Scandal (2022)
Poor
I don't like to write a negative review especially with such good actors, but this isn't good. Its over dramatic music & responses with so many close up shots! It is, in my opinion, a weak story, very weak. The moment a top barister thinks a man is guilty because a young lady she knows thinks "he looks like a rapst because he's too good looking" seriously!!! &, While reading the details of the case, she gasps & puts her hand over her mouth when finding out something!! Really?? Women don't all gasp or faint or puke when they are shocked. Its just so over damatic to compensate for a weak story. With such great actors, it was surprising.
The Terminal List (2022)
Brilliant
I heard that the critics didn't like this, so naturally I thought i might enjoy it! It's fast paced, not cheesy, intelligence & at times jaw dropping. It's been a long time since I have enjoyed a series this much. Chris Pratt is so versatile! Utterly brilliant acting. I completely believed his story. More please!!
ITV News (1999)
One sided
I have been so sick of the one sided brain washing of the media i moved to itv news hoping for a more neutral perspective. However the coverage of the johnny depp trail was shocking in how one sided it was. So shocking that i can't watch this news channel any more. Why can't they just be neutral!
Raising Dion (2019)
First series was excellent, second...not so much
It was so refreshing to finally find a show that me and my son could both was which was well written, and exciting, we both really enjoyed the first series. But I don't understand what happened with the second series, the characters keep making stupid mistakes, they are keeping secrets from each other, which wouldn't happen & only serves to allow the story to run in a certain direction, there is unbelievably silly plot lines and at one point the monster fighting the lady looked so bad, it was like it was from Buffy the vampire slayer (great in it's day, but bad makeup now) even my boy said it looked ridiculous (he's 8). I don't know what changed from the first to the second, but it feels like they threw money at the first series but didn't bother with the second. It's not awful, but I doubt we will watch a third series. Such a shame.
A Discovery of Witches (2018)
Simple wonderful
I love the actors they picked, the story was so wonderful & rich & the underlying point against prejudice & how we all need each other & we are all connected was really beautiful & a powerful message. Great story, wonderful actors, lavish sets. So glad i watched.
No Time to Die (2021)
Just brilliant!
I loved every moment from start to finish. The only film to get me into the cinema & my family made a day of it. We all thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it & feel the ending was perfect. Just brilliant!
Cinderella (2021)
Great kids movie
It always confuses me when you have adults reviewing a movie that is for kids. It's a fun, lighthearted film. My son, said it was the best Cinderella movie he'd seen.
It Happened One Valentine's (2017)
Cheesy, sweet, but not great!
This is a sweet Hallmark movie. Yes it's extremely cheesy but sometimes that's just what you need. As for the other review about her looking like his mother! Wow! We all have a right to our own point of view, mine is not this! She is a very pretty woman & there was some good chemistry between them but they didn't look a good match together. Saying that, I quite like a movie for not picking the obvious two, it's nice if the guy is shorter than the woman or the woman is a little older. He is a singer in real life so I should think that is his voice in the film. Look, in my opinion, if you want hallmark sickly sweet, escape from reality, then this is a sweet film, I enjoyed it. There are definitely worse hallmark films out there
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018)
This is why you shouldn't always listen to reviews
Every review i read was saying terrible things about thus film. I'm so glad i didnt listen. My son & i thoroughly loved it. It is beautiful & i thought it was told very well. A new favourite of ours
Forever (2014)
Brilliant
I have only ever written one review before but this series is so good I had to write another because when I started watching this I wrongly thought this was just another silly series poorly stealing from Sherlock & I could watch late at night to help me go off to sleep, but in case anyone watches one episode and makes a hasty judgement I thought I better write this & let you guys know that this just gets better and better. Not many programs are rated so highly on IMDb! I am absolutely gutted that the (silly) powers that be have cancelled making a second series because I have been totally hooked. I love the characters, the depth and the cleverness. It's had me crying, laughing and gasping all in one episode! Why oh why has this been cancelled! Those silly nincompoop big suits really made a mistake stopping this series :(
Jupiter Ascending (2015)
Loved it!
Firstly I have never written a review on here but after reading so many bad reviews I created an account just so I could defend this film! I really loved it! I love science fiction/Fantasy stories, pure escapism is what I am looking from in a film and this did exactly that. The story was brilliant and I loved the imagination it took to create the other world, the film didn't treat the audience like morons and explain everything excessively. It was exciting, imaginative and beautiful. I really don't know why so many people have put bad reviews on here. I would love it if they made more films from this story. I haven't seen a science fiction film as good as this in years!
