Champions (2023)

A lot of heart and good representation.

[7/10 · 11 March 2023]

This film is a very well done comedy which puts individuals with disabilities at its centre and in a very good light. As someone who coaches individuals with disabilities football I appreciated the movies messages about how independent these individuals really are, the hardships that they face and the courage that they possess.

The acting is very good. Harrleson puts ina solid pefromance and you can tell that he cares about the subject matter. Kaitlyn Olsen was also fantastic, great comedic timing and great chemistry with harrleson. The basketball team were all great, some funny moments from each ot the cast members, they fitted into their roles seemlessly.

This film is full of tropes and is very cheesy, however I believe there needs to be more movies like this made today.

Overall, good movie with good acting and a very heart warming message.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: The Eye (2022) Season 1, Episode 7

Snoarfest.

[6/10 · 7 October 2022]

What a missed opportunity. Last week's episode had its flaws but was overall brilliant. This week's episode is completely different and is incredibly slow with some awful dialogue. The harfoots need to just hurry up and be written off the show. They constantly contradict each other, saying how they stick by each other but in reality they leave their own behind if their not quick enough to die. There is no action what so ever in this episode. Boring scenes of people just walking. It has to be said that galadriel really is the worst leading character in recent memory. So unlikeable. Things happen in this show with no explanation. The three witches finally get some screen time and they really do come off as an off brand ring wraiths rip off. It's just such a pity that the penultimate episode is such a let down. It is the first time in recent memory that a huge TV show like this one uses its penultimate episode as a filler episode. I can't believe a billion dollars has been spent on this writing. The fact that I'm a huge LOTR fan is keeping me interest ed but this episode falls flat and kills all sense of excitement. Very dissapointing. I'm praying that next week makes up for this week.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Udûn (2022) Season 1, Episode 6

Here we go!

[9/10 · 30 September 2022]

I haven't minded the series up until now, but I have been yearning for a great fight scene/battle. In this episode we get that and more. I was honestly on the edge of my seat and when I checked the run time expecting the episode to finish there was still 25 minutes left of the episode. The story is still quite messy, with a few plot lines not making much sense and alot of things happen by chance. But Im willing to ignore these negatives with the fight scenses in this episode and some of the choreography. The music was brilliant this episode, it really captured the lord of the rings feelings that the series has missed. The ending was fantastic too, I honestly can't wait until the next episode. 9/10, I hope the next two episodes are as action packed as this one.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: Adar (2022) Season 1, Episode 3

Not as bad as you may hear

[7/10 · 9 September 2022]

This episode is a slow one but it is setting up different story lines. The harfoot storyline is quite boring, I hope it fizzles out abit as the show goes on. The new island of men introduced us absolutely stunning. Listen, I haven't read the books but I am a diehard lord of the rings movie fan. The show is quite slow but you can tell it's building up and I believe it will payoff. If you ignore the hate around this show you will find a decent show which is only going to get better. The special effects are absolutely fantastic. The orcs don't look half bad either. I know this isn't the world Tolkien envisaged, but it is an interesting one.

Bullet Train (2022)

Cheesey as hell

[5/10 · 3 August 2022]

Action was great. The comedy missed more than it landed. I thought the script killed Brad Pitt's character, seemed to me that he was a cheap rip off of the Dude from the big lewbowski. Also it dragged on way too long, should have wrapped up a half hour earlier. The two cockney characters were funny but ultimately the film fell flat.

Velvet Buzzsaw (2019)

What did I just watch? Terrible movie.

[3/10 · 1 February 2019]

Honestly Dan Gilroy what was that?? Terrible story full of unlikable characters. This is the worst film I have seen in 2019. It is supposed to be a horror/thriller with poor horror and no thrills. It's safe to say this film is no peice of art.

Reign of the Supermen (2019)

Far better than expected

[8/10 · 20 January 2019]

Not the best DC animated movie but it's entertaining that's for sure. Great action and good enough story line. However the use of the justice League was woeful and there wasn't much character depth. But at least for once Lois Lane is actually interesting!

Aquaman (2018)

Don't believe the hype. Seen it all before.

[6/10 · 9 December 2018]

The film looks very good but honestly it's not as good as everyone's making it out to be. The visuals are amazing, however jokes fall flat. It trys to be it's own superhero movie however it comes off alot like Black Panther which was much better and also thor Ragnarok for a certain scene. It is an improvement by DC although I found it quite boring.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)

Best Spiderman movie yet hands down!

[9/10 · 6 December 2018]

What a beautiful film for Spiderman. Animation was incredible. Character depth was fantastic. Such a great story which had me glued to the screen from first minute to last. One of the funniest movies I've seen in the whole of 2018. Sony have had some misses the past few years but this movie is certainly a hit!
