Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)
like a feature length episode of Power Rangers
This film is a load of nonsense. The fight scenes aren't anything new you've seen them all before - save your time and energy and watch an episode of power rangers - its the same thing. The special effects aren't even all that.... pure green screen rubbish.
The Unforgivable (2021)
Really good film - will make you head to google to learn more.
A brilliant film this a gripping story with a few decent twists. I like a film that makes me head straight to google to learn more about the story and characters.
Sandra Bullock was immense in this film I want to give it more but something is just holding me back... perhaps its missing a certain "je ne sais pas quoi" you know what i mean.
But watch this and you won't be disappointed. Kinda highlights along the way why offenders in America constantly re-offend - if this film is anything to go by they don't stand much chance - perhaps some of them don't deserve it.
Nomadland (2020)
think the "littlest hobo" but instead of a dog, its with a human.
I've wanted to watch this for a while... after winning so many awards, it has to be a great movie right ?!?! - WRONG....
O.k you have to appreciate the great photography, the amazing scenery the brilliant acting by Frances McDormand - but it terms of it building a story... it doesn't !
There also a fascination with close ups of cactus's !
Really slow paced movie - i get the narrative... and its quite a sad story but "fern" seems happy enough with her transient life.. and its not like she's living in a 3rd world country struggling to eat and escaping war and disease ... she's travelling around america in a van - so what ! If she wants to settle down she can... but until tomorrow she will just keep heading on down the line... (as the theme for littles hobo went)
Red Notice (2021)
Is Ryan Reynolds the best comedic actor out there right now ?
I have to think he is... delivering he lines in a sarcastic way and tone that just makes the person who asked the question look stupid... and it makes me laugh. And is the ROCK or is he known as Dwayne Johnson, these days now a better actor then he was a wrestler.... I reckon so ! You want someone to jump onto a helicopter or off a waterfall into the lake beneath then dwaynes ya man...
this is a good netflixs film... there's probably going to be a sequel. Yeah it won't win anyone an oscar.. but its good fun... think Indiana Jones meets Oceans 11.
Black Widow (2021)
was surprised i enjoyed this
I not a big marvel comic book film fan - but i gave this a go. I know nothing of the characters back story, but i found that didn't really matter, because on its own this is a good film.
Good action, a decent story, and some good acting.
Worth the watch... i think Marvel fans will be happy and people who just want to watch an action pic will also enjoy it.
Hypnotic (2021)
No thrills or real suspense
This is your average netflix film. Decent watch, but once over it won't live long in your memory... it will be a repressed memory and you better hope that no one unlocks the memory of it via hypnosis !!
I think its going to be a film along the lines of danny boyles trance ... but it fell well short of that title.
In conclusion - this will fill a 2hr window when you have nothing else to watch or do... but its far from being a classic.
Free Guy (2021)
Think Truman Show - but more kick ass and with added laughs.
This is great film.. Ryan Renold's without even trying to is becoming on the best comedic actors around. This is kinda like the truman show but with explosions and people getting shot - really good film even if i got a bit lost in the techy geek chat.
Tomb Raider (2018)
Plot holes all over the place
This film tries to take itself seriously ... they would of been better going for some laughs instead. Just absurd plot, dubious acting and an average script. If you go your whole life not watching this movie - then you haven't missed out. Not one I will remember or watch again.... maybe if your a fan of the game or 12 years old you might like it.
Jungle Cruise (2021)
Adventure Fantasy that ticks the boxes
Another decent Disney Adventure Fantasy Movie... Rock = good, Jack Whitehall = Brilliant... and then Emily Blunt... I found her character rather annoying to be honest. Its taken bits from the all others that have gone before it, there's some of the pirate of the Caribbean films in there, some Raiders of the lost ark - it mashed them all together. What you get isn't a classic, but its a decent enough effort. Its cert 12 in the UK but i think younger kids will like it.. its not scary or dark it's Disney !
The Guilty (2021)
Good film... with a cast of er 3 people and a budget of £53
It really good concept for a film with 1 main actor playing the story out over a phone call... we worth staying with this film to the end... I wonder if I would have enjoyed it more if we could see the phone call unfolding from the view point of the caller ? - i dunno. A decent watch on the netflixs - well acted by Jake Gyllenhaal.
Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard (2021)
Stupidly good fun
Look it's not going to win any awards, and its not as good as the first film... but its still a good fun film. Its violence is like cartoon violence ... Ryan Reynolds manages to avoid 1000000 bullets and being thrown from a car about 6 times without breaking any bones... I rung a flannel out last night and put my back out...but Reynolds is dead pan funny... good fun saturday night movie.
I Am Mother (2019)
Interesting film - not enough closure
This film is a good solid film. But as it un ravels it leaves many questions unanswered. And I felt the ending was a little bit lazy and ultimately left you feeling a bit unfulfilled. Great acting and Hilary Swank doing a great "sarah connor" impression.
Cruella (2021)
Brilliant film, excellent sound track.
What an excellent film. Very surprised by how good this film actually is. Probably the best film I've seen this year. And what an amazing sound track. You have watch this film - its just great. Action, comedy, story line... in fact why have i only given this 8 ! - there changed it to a 9 !
The Suicide Squad (2021)
I just didn't get this movie.
I just don't understand this movie... John Cena is a good comedy actor actually. I find him funny in all the movies i've seen him in. The first 45 minutes of this movie were good and had a "deadpool" vibe... then it just went down hill. Sorry not for me... just boring really.
Chernobyl (2021)
What could have been ....
This could have been a great movie... it had all the ingredients. But like the power station it was made on the cheap... there were several parts in the movie where i was completely confused by what was supposed to be happening. The lead character changes his mind more often then i change my pants... he's leaving, he's not leaving, he's volunteering, he's not volunteering.. oh he is volunteering.
But it did make me realize the gravity of the Chernobyl disaster and how close the whole of Europe came to nuclear disaster.
Unit Eleven (2020)
Literally the worst film I've ever seen
Oh my days... this is terrible. Terrible acting terrible music terrible script terrible camera work terrible waste of money. I think I could made and produced a better film just using my mobile phone... I wanted give this zero but i werent allowed.
Believe Me: The Abduction of Lisa McVey (2018)
brilliant and gripping and wanted me to go and google for more info
This is a great film with some great performances. Really gripping and suspenseful telling of a true and harrowing story. It literally had me shouting at the screen in frustration. Nice touch including the real lisa mcvey at the end.. what a remarkable woman. If your searching for something to watch on the 'flixs... give this a go.
Made in Italy (2020)
Nice feel good movie
This is a nice feel good kinda movie. Liam Neeson superb as always. Neeson's son in the movie (micheal richardson) acting was weak and unconvincing, which is bizarre because he is actually Neeson's son in real life !
But this is lovely film really - and its kinda a shame that not people haven't seen it.
Whilst not in danger of winning any awards, it's still worth a watch.
Ripper Untold (2021)
Valiant effort on a budge of £3.50
You got to applaud the effort here... but at the end of day this isn't a good movie. Lots of close up shots of banisters and people walking up and down stairs. To make up for the poor script they fill voids with really unconvincing music... which doesn't build any suspense or tension. A decent shot of a bird with her wazzers out... so fair play on that one. It was actually a decent twist at the end... and like i said it's a decent effort on small budget.
Captain Phillips (2013)
Another Hanks masterclass
Look when it comes to playing ordinary guys with unordinary stores - then HANKS is the master. Special mentions to guys who play the Somali pirates... excellent performances. Great gripping film. Would recommend.
Let Him Go (2020)
Sooooo Slowwwwww.
This film was way tooooo slow... it seems to take an eternity to build up to final conclusion and the big showdown. And when it did it failed to deliver the big finish you were hoping for. Good acting and great scenery. Costner is a solid performer in every film.
Awake (2021)
What a mess ... a kernel of an idea...
Leaves a lot unexplained...and you feel cheated of answers at the end.
Its like some went i got an idea for a film...
Yeah I'm listening...
People all of a sudden can't sleep...
why ?
That's not important
Everyone goes mental...
Why... because they can't sleep.
Right
But some people can sleep..
but you just said...
look look.. I know but...anyway. They figure out how to make people sleep.
Great then what happens...
Well nothing...
The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)
Decent solid movie - but not sure horror fans will like it
This is a good decent solid movie. But its not super scary and i think fans of the horror genre will be left disappointed. Personally I found this movie still gripping and full of suspense and it has a strong story line... is this more of a thriller then a horror ?
