Boat Story (2023)
Absolutely brilliant
From start to finish, a roller coaster ride of blood, lies, drugs, and yes, quite a few laugh out loud moments........oh, and watch until the end of the credits, to finally meet our narrator.
Here we go, 600 hundred characters.... I guess thats why so many reviews give you the plot outline, and the name of the 2nd grips 3rd cousin?
Completely pointless, but here we are, whiling away the time until I get the thumbs up.
Nope, not yet, 177 more, so I'm told. Oh yes, Happy New Year everyone in 2024. No .ore guff about Global Boiling or the WEF ballix.
We let them get away with Covid, no more, I say!
Ahhh, minimum character limit reached, which is a pity, as I was just getting into this.
Ah well, until next time......
The Killer (2023)
Riveting
I'm really not getting all the bad reviews? I couldn't take my eyes off it! For anyone out there, thinking about a career as an assassin, this film's for you.......just don't miss! In fact I'm going to rewatch it tonight again. Michael Fassbender was pitch perfect in a thriller that starts at the end.....the hit.....and takes us all the way back to the beginning, step by grizzly step. And for those John Wick fans, moaning about The Killer....too thick to appreciate REAL art, I say, and I quote...I DON'T GIVE A FECK!! This is the film of the year......until Napoleon hits the screens, anyway....
Bodies (2023)
Lost
Tried to watch it last night. Stephen Graham, you just can't get any better, but oh what a mess this is!
Characters you have absolutely no empathy for.
Acting that, at times, was embarrassing!
Three episodes and I was gone.......dozed off.
I thought about trying it again, then realised life's just too short.
So I downloaded The Lady Killers.....the original......and enjoyed that instead.
A great script. Exceptional acting,, and just a pleasure to watch.....you know, entertainment the way it's meant to be.
In this day and age, I'm guessing that's too much to ask?
Abysmal dross, but certainly a cure for insomnia....
The Men Who Killed Kennedy (1988)
The truth America couldn't face...
The Men Who Killed Kennedy is a video documentary series by British television network ITV that depicts the assassination of U. S. President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Originally broadcast in 1988 in two parts (with a subsequent studio discussion), it was rebroadcast in 1991 re-edited to three parts with additional material, and a fourth episode added in 1995. The addition of three further episodes in 2003 caused great controversy, particularly in the final episode implicating Lyndon B. Johnson and the withdrawal of these additional episodes.
This is the documentary series that the USA networks and journalists, to their undying shame, refused to even look at.
President Kennedy, hit in the throat, and front right temple, by an assassin supposedly above and behind him.......
Dead for a Dollar (2022)
western with a dated view?
It's just that a review I just read said the film has a dated view of feminism and race......
well yeah, its a Western, set in the 1890s, FFS!
Anywhooo, I think its all been covered.
Mediocre acting, awful script, terrible directing, and awful editing.
Through in a budget of $100....most of which was handed back, and there we have it.
A bit harsh? Maybe, but as a lifelong Western fan, this is just an insult to that great movie tradition.
They're telling me now my review is too short, but having come this far, I'll type a few meaningless words as filler....which is pretty apt, as this film is mostly 95% filler.
Let's see if that's enough?
WooHoo.
Black Bird (2022)
A Ray Liotta sympathy rating?
I wanted this to be good.....it isn't!
I stuck it out for all of 40 minutes, but I'm going to take a stab at what happens....
Our wooden lead character gets the serial killer to reveal the whereabouts of a body....
Okay, I want out.
But no, Woody, there are other bodies....
Awful acting, awful script, just awful!
How some of you reviewers sleep at night, Ill never know!
The Boys (2019)
I absolutely love it.....you can'ts
Billy Butcher, what a character!
Just one slight peev.....in Season 2 they have an episode about a guy waking up in the morning, every morning, listening to right wing radio, TV, News.....then he goes and murders someone.
It works both ways though!
And in this day and age, far more often from the left!
Anywhooo, that's my Tuppence worth.
JFK (1991)
The Men Who Killed Kennedy
Every single doctor who examined JFK at Parklands hospital, said the back of his head was gone!
Every single one!
And yet the autopsy photographs show a tiny, neat, entrance wound.
It stinks!
The Offer (2022)
Absolutely fantastic
With so much woke dross to wade through recently, this is a very welcome breath of fresh air!
Acting, casting, pace, costumes, just perfectly done!
Just brilliant!
Gaslit (2022)
IF
"If they made a series like this on the Trump administration they'd call it fake news and half the Americans wouldn't believe it. Thoroughly enjoyable and the cast was first rate."
Yeah, S'funny how they never do a series about LBJ of JFK or the Clintons or Obama....
No, the'ye the goodies LOL.
