48 Christmas Wishes (2017)
Terrible film, terrible terrible terrible
Terrible script, terrible acting, terrible direction terrible plot (who goes to school on Christmas Eve?!); the elves' ears aren't even the same colour as their real ears in some cases! My wife and I watch a lot of Christmas movies and this is without doubt the worst one we've seen in a very long time.
Mindhorn (2016)
It's got so much to give!
Laughed out loud a few times watching Mindhorn! Julian Barratt is on top form, ably supported by a cracking cast. It's very British, it's very funny and it's well worth a watch. Ignore the naysayers and give it a try - you'll be very glad you did!
Lords of London (2014)
What a waste
A waste of money making it
A waste of time watching it
A waste of actors being in it
A waste of paper for the script
A waste of a beautiful location
In every way it's possible for a film to fail, this film manages it. The dialogue is terrible, the characters imbecilic, the story transparent, the pace turgid, the music intrusive, the slow zooms incessant, the ending disappointing and the cover picture deceiving.
If you're looking for an enjoyable British gangster movie, or a thought provoking drama, this isn't it. It's trying to be something it's not, punching waaay above its weight, and missing the mark every step of the way.
SLOW ZOOMS AND LINGERING SHOTS ARE NOT ART!!
Anybody who gives this film a rating above a 3 is either in need of seeing a lot more films or a plant. I'm only giving it a 1 because Ray's in it. If he'd been playing the main character it might have rated a 2 or 3, but as it stands, a 1 is all this film is worth.
Be nice to yourself and avoid.
