Can You Keep a Secret? (2019)
Disappointed
The book is lovely and funny and charming, The film starts well. It has most elements
that are in the book but just doesn't work for me.
It ended and I though blah 😒 it felt flat !
I think they needed to see her with her Grandpa as he was an important part of her life. It's an important aspect of why she gets the coupons in the magazine
Definitely wished they left it set In England.
Wanted to see flashbacks of the relationship between the two founders of Panda.
The film lacked depth it ended up being too fluffy and when the book made me cry this barely scraped the surface of his grief and why he was so closed .
They chose fluffy chic flic 😥
Paul (2011)
Clever alien film
I wasn't prepared for how much I like this film
It's so funny without being silly, the alien appearance is explained and believable. It's actually a film about friendship and trust I think.
If the Shoe Fits (1990)
Oh dear
Hurrah I thought Rob Lowe and Jennifer Grey in a movie together and it's a rainy Saturday. Dreadful! Over acting , musical score all over the place and totally unbelievable. So disappointed! What utter trash . Worst Cinderella adaptation ever.
Eternal Beauty (2019)
Very dark but realistic view of mental health
There was humour but definitely not a comedy in my view. Superb acting Sally Hawkins . Confused timeline and story but that added to the feeling of being in the main characters mind I thought. Often left feeling who normal in the family ? What is normal anyway ? There are some very self centred characters but isn't that true to life. Even her close family treat her so disgraceful. I watch d this over a few days as it's hard going . Very moving and will stay with me for a long time.
Beautiful sets and costumes too so evocative and disturbing!
A Teacher (2020)
Recommended watch !
I found this compelling and fascinating! If it had been a 30 year old male teacher and 17 year old female student I think certain reviewers would be so dismissive of he could consent! She was in a position of power and she abused it. She could see he fancied her and she enjoyed that. She liked the thrill of the desire and love she evoked in him!
I thought it was well acted and think the lead actors were well chosen .
Whatever the age of the student she should not have engaged in a sexual relationship with him! I feel incredibly sad that the whole thing ruined both their lives.
A Good Marriage (2014)
Underwhelmed!
Really not scary at all. Watched to the end but wished I had not wasted my time. Really feel blah about the whole film. I was expecting a twist at the end . That never happened and thats the only reason I watched the whole film. I'd hoped because it was based on a very realistic plot to be more frightened but it fell flat.
Bodyguard (2018)
Gripping , nail biting and shocking
We are absolutely living this. Watched episodes today. It is intriguing. Well acted by the 2 main characters and the ensemble! I'm fascinated to find out who is fooling who. I'm watching gripping a cushion and my hear is beating so fast during each episode. Looking forward to the next episode
Ordeal by Innocence (2018)
MAssacred a Agatha Christie
The murderer is changed and hence the whole plot falls apart. So many details were changed from the original book that it was unrecognisable . Disappointing and confusing viewing if you have read the book.
As a stand alone murder mystery this was entertaining but I was too confused by the number of differences between the book and tv drama it spoilt my viewing experience. Agatha must be turning in her grave
