Rogue Agent (2022)
Watch The Puppet Master series instead.
Ok movie. Poorly acted. Weak storyline.
I would say it's very, very loosley based on a true story and the main theme of the movie is an invention.
Watch it on a Sunday afternoon,hungover.
Lost: Ab Aeterno (2010)
The magical storytelling of Lost is at its best here
I came to the Lost party in 2020, long after the show had aired while we were in COVID lockdown and got to see it all through a massive binge!.
The effort the writers went to while fleshing out peoples favourite characters has been epic.
I'm rewatching the series and this is my favourite episode. The mystery of Richard Alpert is one that carried throughout the show.....this episode is a masterpiece. I won't spoil any of it, but do yourself a favour and watch this one again and again.
There were so many great episodes of Lost, the ones that stand above all others are this and 'The Constant' in season 4. Both brought tears to my eyes and I wished I could write like that!.
The Twilight Zone: An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge (1964)
Must watch episode
If you're going to watch one episode of the twilight zone watch this one....
Incredible episode.
Now it's just about filling 150 characters....do you come here often?
Inventing Anna (2022)
Meh
This had the potential to be a great web series,a 2020's Catch Me If You Can or Talented Mr Ripley.
Nah....
What's that old saying?
'Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.'
Unfortunately this story is about as engaging as being in a long queue.
I liked Garner in The Americans and Ozark, but Chlumsky is terrible!. Visualise a cheesy, novice actor in The Mask instead of Jim Carrey.
Avoid!!!
Them (2021)
This is not a horror, or a thriller.
I start watching 'Them' because I enjoy horrors, and good ones are hard to find. The series was listed as a horror and a thriller.
To be honest it made my skin crawl for all the wrong reasons, and was similiar to a rambling drunk person keeping you at a table for hours when all you want to do is go home, but can't escape.
Some of what happened made me sick to my stomach to be honest. Episode 5 crossed a line I have rarely seen before.
Yes, I watched it all and appreciate it will appeal to people. Not for me.
I would give the series 3 stars from episodes 1-9 and 5 for episode 10. It manages to tie up the mess.
Joker (2019)
Incredible performance from Phoenix
This movie blew me away and I feel guilty for not watching it until now.
Dark
Emotive
Funny
Evocative
I loved it... Phoenix was incredible as the Joker, even better than Ledger in The Dark Knight.. I loved him, felt sorry for him, supported him and laughed at him.
Do yourself a favour and enjoy these two hours!!. Every actor played their part in a superb movie.
Fear the Walking Dead: Date of Death (2016)
Mediocrity continues.
I start watching this show after watching TWD and the big differences between the shows
are there are a) too many unlikeable characters in this series and b) the storylines are terrible.
This episode continues the misery, I'm waiting for Morgan to come into it.
The Serpent (2021)
Underwhelming,boring series.
A couple of friends recommended this as a must see and I am completely bewildered.
Maybe I have watched too many quality crime dramas and documentaries on serial killers to appreciate The Serpent.
This is probably the worst drama BBC has ever made.
I was bored, and couldn't warm to any of characters until the end of episode 3. If I add the constant time hopping and terrible acting/accents into the mix it would reduce my score for the show.
Casting actors to play characters from
different countries is lazy and it didn't work here. Why cast UK actors to play Dutch, French/Canadian and German characters?????.
Watch it for yourselves, but you won't get the 8 hours of your life back.
Stowaway (2021)
Good for insomniacs
Hmmm, I turned it on out of curiosity and fell asleep twice, waking up to the noise of my own snores the second time.... that was the most exciting part of the movie tbh.
Apologies for not having anything constructive to say 😀
The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)
A slow burner, but worth the wait.
I found myself drifting to sleep during the first 7 episodes....it really was hard work and drawn out without anything happening. However the last two episodes were exceptional, and I was happy that I kept watching. Was it a ghost story?, was it a love story?, the beauty of this web series is that viewers can take something different from it. I'd recommend you watch it.
The Haunting of Bly Manor: The Beast in the Jungle (2020)
A slow burner, but worth watching till the end
