They Cloned Tyrone (2023)
You might not get it
Its similar to Beef and Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Its supposed to be silly and quirky.
But They Cloned Tyrone trumps both of them.
John B's acting is far more Oscar worthy than Jamie's "feature" in EEAAO.
From three different styles of effortless American accent, to multiple characters all played brilliantly.
The acting is great
The script is great
The dialogue is great
The directing is great
The support is great
The humour is great
The story is great
Maybe you wont like its nearly an all black cast?
Maybe you wont like its set in the "hood" with our heroes being a prostitute, a pimp and a dealer?
Maybe you wont like the outlandish plot?
But if you only watch it as a body of work, you'll nominate John for a best lead actor Oscar and give this movie a solid 9/10 for its quality.
If Jamie Lee Curtis can earn one for an identical portrayal (done a few times better by John) - then its totally deserving.
The Man Who Fell to Earth (2022)
Who values great acting and story telling..?
This is as close as you will get to high quality theatre acting on the screen!
Its just a great story, great flow, top notch acting from everyone...and no frills.
From time to time it feels low budget for sci fi but the story and believability of the story makes up for that.
You have absolutely no place ignoring a show with cast like this.
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
100% Pure Gimmicks
Everyone including me- came for the cast, and the return of Jane Foster
I couldnt believe how bad they messed up such a great story and cast
Jokes were forced and unfunny.
GOTG served no purpose and where there just for the gimmicks
Wait for the stream, sit this one out!
The Harder They Fall (2021)
the hate is real.....and we all know why
And quite frankly I'm fed up of it.
If you see a film with a black lead or majority black cast and IMDB reviews give it 6.5/10 well its really an 8.5/10 This is a tried and trusted theory.
The racism and hate is real.
As for this gem - watch it for the stellar cast alone.
Thank us later!!
F9 (2021)
Its bad- but not that bad
I think the actors /writers are just rusty due to covid / lockdown.
Acting was poor, lines were forced.
Only 40% of the gags were funny!
But its a great cast, great stunts, action and its the Fast crew.
Its watchable.
Its 6/10.
Black Summer (2019)
Not as bad as they say....not as good either
Yes there are some moments that make you think - thats just plain dumb.
But there are some moments that make you think that is the most realistic, killing, panic, fight, chase etc
The character introductions are awesome and chapters are great.
Definitely glad to have something to binge on. Just stop with the plot holes.
The Walking Dead: Here's Negan (2021)
Negans story made me cry....
Ive been giving bad review and ratings for so long i ask myself why I still watch.
Because I know the show has the potential to be as good as it once was.....as good as this.
This one is deep 😢
Fear the Walking Dead (2015)
Boring, boring, boring
The show has dropped like a stone
7/10 season 1
3/10 season 5
Snowfall: Hedgehogs (2019)
One of the best episodes of TV ever
This weeks episode of Snowfall is one of the best episodes I've seen on TV in general! Game of Thrones, The Wire, Breaking Bad all included 👌🏿
I don't need CGI or special effects to give this a 9.7
Start to finish engrossing entertainment!
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
Massively over-hyped and over-rated
Great cast and visually stunning. Excellent the way this film takes you back....but that is it!
There is nothing else to this film. This is a non-story.
I am a huge QT fan and watch his films around three times each.
This I wouldn't be able to sit through again.
Absolute snooze fest.
The Walking Dead: The Calm Before (2019)
REDEMPTION IS HERE
I have been trashing this show since S7 failed so miserably. But it is fair to say, redemption has come.
S9 has been around 7.5/10 which is a steady climb from the below 5/10 of S7
But this episode?
S9 Ep.15??
This is where they bring it
This is where they give back to the fsns
And this is why we didnt quit
When this show deluvers it is one of the top shows on TV
This was the episode we have been waiting for
10/10
no over exaggeration whatsoever
The Hate U Give (2018)
Surprisingly good
First off, if you are a bit racist or dont give a stuff about black issues, why on earth would you watch this film?
It deals with a very common isssue of over zealous trigger happy police killing black people in situations were a white person would live.
It addresses the hate we ALL give including
White people and black stereotypes.
Black on black hate.
Black hate for white.
White hate for black.
It takes look at all these issues whilst putting out an entertaining movie
The acting is good.
Regina Hall or Anthony Mackie do not do poor acting.
Its not great but its definatley not as bad as some of these over the top reviews suggest.
Everyone i know(black or otherwise) enjoyed it
The Walking Dead: Stradivarius (2018)
Probably the worst episode ever
Why do we watch?
Why do we review?
Why dont we just walker away?
The reason is because we are clinging on to the hope that one episode will turn things around to the glory days of S1,2,3,4,5&6 The good old days before TWD fell off a cliff.
My rating is 1 star.
I could give 0 stars because nothing happened.
There were no tense moments, no touching moments, no action, no suspense, no drama.
Nothing!??
Just one of those episodes used to fatten up an episode list to gain more advertising dollars.
Not for entertainment.
And thats what killed this show. Too many stretched out seasons just to make more money.
10 episodes and maybe this show can condense and be worth watching.
Right now its a slow, sad and painful death.
The Walking Dead: Who Are You Now? (2018)
Back to boring, time wasting, blown-up, crack TV for advert money
Nothing happened.
Seriously.
Nothing at all.
The news is more entertaining.
The Walking Dead: What Comes After (2018)
Redemption is here
I cannot remrmber the last time I cried watching a movie or show. Surely over 20 years now.
This.......this did the trick.
I cant move
The Walking Dead: Warning Signs (2018)
Credit where credit is due
Best epidode in about 2 seasons.
Tense. Great build up and what a climax
Shaping up to be great season!!
The Walking Dead: A New Beginning (2018)
Yaawwwnnn....Theyre manipulating the ratings again!!
I just watched S9. Ep1
Usual stuff.
Nothing....absolutley nothing happens for 46 minuets and then 10 mins of build up and 3 minuets of drama/action.
I wont give away spoilers but nothing actually happens until the end.
I wonder why.....
Westworld: The Passenger (2018)
Outstanding
Quite simply the best episode from the best TV show there is. GOT and Breaking Bad have been well and truly surpassed.
I cant think why anyone would rate this with less than a 9/10
Tessa Thompson, Jeffery Wright and Sir Anthony Hopkins deliver absolute masterclasses
Joy, Nolan...we are grateful.
Acrimony (2018)
Nowhere near as bad as expected
I am sorry but I have to say this.....
Always add 2 points to the ratings of a black movie.
Maybe its bigotry, maybe some folk are just too used to all white casts.
Maybe they just dont get it.
But for every black film rated 6/10
It is usually deserves an 8/10 when i watch it.
This film is no diffferent.
The ratings say 5.1/10
This film is an easy 7.5/10 nothing less.
I personally give it an 8/10
Of course it is well written and well directed.
Its a Tyler Perry film.
The female lead always delivers and the support is excellent.
There are no corny cliches and it kept me guessing right to the end.
Infact the only thing wrong with this movie is the bigoted ratings which is starting to get a bit familiar.
Just remember to add approximatley 2 points to the rating of a black movie or you might miss out on a little gem.
Fear the Walking Dead: The Wrong Side of Where You Are Now (2018)
CAN YOU STOPP THESE STUPID FLASHBACKS NOW!!!
You started off so well with Morgan onboard. And i always felt FTWD had the edge over the originsl TWD but now it appears they have both gone to xxxx
Who on earth advised these writers that flashbacks EVERY EPISODE was a good idea???
It works with Westworld because they know what they are doing. Here it just seems like complete overkill and lets just do it cos everybody else is.
Absolutley tragic how this show has been ruined!!
Westworld: The Riddle of the Sphinx (2018)
Just Pure Nolan Magic
I do believe we are watching THE best TV series EVER.
I do know Jeffery Wright is the most underrated actor there is.
Ed and Jeffery just give a masterclass here.
I feel privileged to watch.
