Inside Man (2022)
Enjoyable with some eye rolling
Ok, i have to admit that i did enjoy, for the most part, this limited series. A prisoner on death row in the USA and a woman trapped in a cellar under an English vicarage, cross paths in the most unexpected way. The way that the two characters cross paths is the most unconvincing way possible, however if you can overcome this point you will enjoy this series. The acting and production were great. I was an instant fan of Dolly Wells.
The series trys to tackle current day issues, which is the eye rolling part. These issues always come across as forced and weak. There was also a sense of "vicker/church bashing" which I could see coming from a mile away.
Overall a fun binge.
Runaway Train (1985)
Nonstop to instant low budget classic
I've seen this movie a few times in my years. I have to admit it gets better as you get older. It's either that or it's taken me a little while to pick up on a few subtleties. The first time I saw this movie must have been when it first came out as a kid. I guess you miss a lot of good stuff as a kid, like the classic line "you're an animal. No, worse I'm human, human". I really can't fault the film other than there seems to be a lot of "shouty" characters and the control room has many really "sweaty"people. But that's just clutching at straws. I think this movie has one of the best endings for a low budget movie. It says it all without really showing anything. Check it out.
Inventing Anna (2022)
Give me peace
Where do I begin. I forced myself to watch this to the end. I spent 9 hours eye rolling and shaking my head. Most of the acting and production was done well it's the storyline that let the whole thing down. Too long and annoying.
The Intruder (2019)
Try Hard
This movie could have been a lot better. Quaid stands out as the only shining star. Another attempt of going too woke for no reason. By mid way the movie just comes off as try hard.
The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian (2022)
Great Episode but........
Wow! What an episode but as chapter 4 set up the Boba story so well this chapter had me a little disappointed. I was really looking forward to the continuation of the Boba story. I kept waiting. Anyway, still a great episode for what it was!
The Toybox (2018)
I enjoyed this more than I should have.
Yes this movie has some flaws but it was also really well done in some parts. A haunted RV actually works well. Some non gory scenes were really creepy. Check out the curtains at around the 48.50 mark. Pretty chilling.
The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 4: The Gathering Storm (2022)
Another Great Episode
Chapter 4 is another exciting chapter of the Boba Fett story. This episode sets up the series for an excellent finish. Every chapter has managed to combine both old and new elements of the Star Wars universe and this chapter pulls it off once again.
Bring on chapter 5!!
Brazen (2022)
Terrible
What was I thinking trying to watch an Alyssa Milano movie (not that I have seen one before)? I kept hoping that it would get but, nope.
Netflix movies and normally ok. But I really struggled with this one.
The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 3: The Streets of Mos Espa (2022)
Book of Boba Fett continues to impress
Another great episode. I love the fact the they continue to expand on the original trilogy themes and also able to add newer concepts. It's what makes this series so great.
One thing that bothers me about this series, How did Boba Fett gain weight in the Sarlacc Pitt?
The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 2: The Tribes of Tatooine (2022)
Chapter 2 better than 1
Any OT Star Wars fan will absolutely love this episode. This is exactly what fans have been waiting for since the 1980s and we have only ever received anything close to this through books and comics. This delivers!
GLOW (2017)
Season 3 lost me.
I really enjoyed almost every episode of all three seasons, but it seemed that during season 3 the wheels came off. I noticed that the episodes become more political and thats where they lost me. I was looking forward to season 4 but sadly cancelled.
The Book of Boba Fett (2021)
Good start to this long awaited series
Good to see that the writers have incorporated the original trilogy, the expanded universe and more recent elements of the Star Wars universe into this story line. I'm still not sold on Fennec Shand as I would prefer to see Boba Fett work alone as intended originally. Also good to see the "woke" elements kept to a minimum as it is a Disney show after all.
The Boat (2018)
BRILLIANT
I could not stop watching. What a great little film. Well done!
