Beast (2022)
B Movie at best - and that's generous
Just came out from seeing this and regret the time I wasted being in there. Did consider leaving a couple of times.
Awful story, weak plot, poor CGI with obvious flaws in the movie throughout. What Lion can't smell blood when the person is straight above you?
I won't say more as that'll put me into spolier territory. Do yourself a favour and give this one a miss.
What on earth was Idris doing signing up for this? He must have needed the money or something?
Ricky Gervais: SuperNature (2022)
Wonderful - not woke - comedy at last
Thank you Ricky Gervais for providing some entertainment in a world full of miserable wokesters who want to control everything.
If you don't like this kind of comedy then don't watch it.
I hope Netflix do more of this as there is way too much woke dross out there.
7500 (2019)
Excellent movie - if you fly a lot you can feel the drama
I really don't understand some of the really negative reviews on here. Does someone have a grudge?
I thought the atmosphere created by the film was excellent and it didn't turn into a politically correct wokefest which I was expecting it too as most movies these days are PC.
The acting was decent as was the direction. Quite brutal in places but not over the top.
Like some others I watched it later at night and it added to the drama.
I'd have scored it higher if it wasn't for a few silly mistakes. Flight time from Berlin to Paris is 1hr 45min so the time in the air is probably 1hr 15 min max. There are a ton of airfields that could be landed at in an emergency. Also, there would be no special requests from the passengers to attend too as the most you'd get is a quick snack and one drink.
All the same. Really enjoyed it. Couldn't sleep easy after it either.
Salt Fat Acid Heat (2018)
Well filmed, informative and highly enjoyable
When I heard about this on Netflix I thought its bound to be a well made production and sure enough it is.
Its very well shot and produced. Samin is not your stereotypical flamboyant chef. If anything she is a bit old school which makes a change. Her use of salt is astonishing at times which is a welcome relief form the do gooders.
This lady loves her food and it shows.
I particularly enjoyed Episode 2 on Salt, mainly because it was based in Japan. Episode 1 was also excellent (fat) with Acid super interesting and primarily in Mexico. For me Episode 4 (Heat) was a bit dull and a 'filler'. Hence my overall rating of 8.
Please do more like this Netflix. In a post Bourdain world we need great food / travel shows of this quality.
Vikings: The Best Laid Plans (2020)
Very disappointing. A lazy effort.
Been a huge fan of this show for many years and after this episode my wife and I both went - WTF. It was poor direction and lazy story writing. It all seemed to be done is a rush.
Bjorn being 'killed' wasn't really that dramatic. Climbing the cliffs was ludicrous. I can imagine they sent out on sail with all that climbing gear. Not one scout on the cliff top to warn the village ? Garbage.
The floating pontoon to prevent the boats entering was cut after a couple of ropes where chopped and no one thought to dispatch the flaming arrows onto the attacking boats?
Worst direction and story writing on any episode I can remember.
Did the team from The Walking Dead manage this one or was it left to a bunch of kids as the normal team were on holiday? Sorry that was bit harsh on the kids.
A Confession (2019)
Dreadful camerawork - unwatchable
There's some good actors in this and it looked like it could be good but my wife and I could only tolerate about 10 minutes before turning it off. The camerawork was giving us both a bad head. Its not poor camera work, its clearly deliberate and also somewhat immature. For me, its someone trying to be clever and different. However, it didn't work. ITV shouldn't have released this or allowed this or allowed it to go ahead.
Fear the Walking Dead: Skidmark (2019)
Poor episode written by 7 year olds for 7 year olds
Well that's it for me. Enough is enough. Writing is garbage and the acting not far behind. When there are so many kids now added to the story then its clear who the target market is. Either that or the 'script' writers are so damned lazy that they've just dumbed it down so much that they don't care.
Shame. Used to be good a long time ago. I hope Kim Dickens got herself wrote out as she'd be ashamed to be connected with this.
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
Sensational
I can't write one of the eloquent reviews that I've seen regarding this movie, but I was thoroughly impressed.
One of the best movies I've seen in years - possibly ever! Okay maybe I'm getting carried away but I couldn't find a flaw in it.
Definitely one for the best cinema you can find. Great sound and visuals. Great acting performances and thoroughly entertaining.
Beforehand I was a bit wary due to the film length but now I hope to go back and see it with my wife.
Hell no, I WILL go back and see it again.
Cold Feet: Episode #6.8 (2016)
Wasted 1 hour of my life I will never get back
I sat down to watch this with my wife, I will admit a little reluctantly.
I honestly thought it was dreadful. Predictable, awful writing, direction and acting. I wish I'd sat in a bath of cold water and contemplated the universe instead. I can't believe the high rating this has on IMDb.
It's not even lala TV. Its dumbed down rubbish.
John Thomson should be ashamed of himself for getting involved. Helen Baxendale was probably delighted that Rachel was dead. As for the rest, they must need the cash. I made a promise to myself never to watch this garbage again.
Do yourself a favour and read a book instead.
The Moaning of Life: Art (2015)
Woeful and unfunny
I used to love watching Karl but no more.
I found series 1 to be okay but pushing the limits a bit, especially in the final episode.
So, I went into Series 2 open minded and I guess looking forward to it.
I now find Karl to be quite boring, pre-meditated and trying too hard for laughs. The final straw was the part with the dog crap and these idiots trying to pretend that it was 'art'. So unfunny and to give these people air time is beyond me.
So, I won't be watching any more of this junk. I'm surprised as he used to be great.
