Only Murders in the Building: Sitzprobe (2023) Season 3, Episode 8

Brilliant

[10/10 · 21 September 2023]

Well that was one of the fastest 40 minutes of any tv I've watched. Gripped from the first minute to the last. Excellent writing! And the Steve Martin song was the perfect ensemble with the scenes going on in the background. So so good.

It feels like we're getting close to the killer but knowing this show there's no doubt in my mind there will be another plot twist in it yet with 2 episodes in the season remaining. I'd imagine someone is still covering for someone somewhere.

Meryl Streep was the perfect person for this season and I'm loving every second of it. Not many shows are at this level on tv right now that's for sure.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: The Eye (2022) Season 1, Episode 7

What a bunch of filler

[5/10 · 7 October 2022]

This episode felt unnecessary. So much of it could've been left out. There's so much unnecessary written in drama and bad acting. Like why do they all get split up when the volcano ash comes down? That doesn't make any sense. There's so many of them and they just happen to pop up every now and then. Like you don't see Halbrand till the final 5 minutes. Also what happened to Isildur... he just disappears from the episode and no one tries to find him. Then you see Adar and the orcs are walking about where Isildur would've been.

Nori and the wizard still continues to be boring and we're 1 episode from the finale... there's like no character development in any of them. The wizard has awful writing thus far. He shows glimpses of magic now and again and then wonders off.

Some of the chanting dialogue just feels so forced. Are we meant to feel sorry for the queen of Numenor who just became blind?

Monster: God of Forgiveness, God of Vengeance (2022) Season 1, Episode 10

A miracle

[10/10 · 3 October 2022]

I'm so glad Netflix told this story of Dahmer becoming a Christian while in prison. Yes people will critique those also in the episode who claimed to be Christians. But the love of God was shown through the saving of Dahmer for sure. This is the Gospel. That anyone can be saved at any point in their life. No one is too far gone and that no one is past the judgement of God. He will either condemn or save those who have lived and through the blood of Christ we can all know the glory of the God.

People condemn themselves when they have done bad things and Dahmer was the prime suspect for this. You either take the full force or ask for forgiveness and Jesus to pay the debt. He wanted to die and ultimately wanted a way out. It's only natural and they want to be forgiven a lot and as a result will love a lot when they are forgiven. This is why they show most change. Their life is flipped upside down. God helps those that are poor in spirit, not those that believe they don't need help or feel they are condemned. People say they want a God of Love. This is a God of Love. Not one sheep is lost for eternity.

How I Met Your Father: Jay Street (2022) Season 1, Episode 9

Best episode so far

[9/10 · 8 March 2022]

Return of boats boats boats and the numb hand away game reference... I hope people got the second one... Some good moments in this episode!

Now I don't have enough characters...

The King (I) (2019)

Like a car in 2nd gear. The torque builds throughout

[8/10 · 18 February 2022]

This movie is a slow burn for the first half but once it hits the torque band boost, it's exhilarating. The battle scene was well worth the wait. Timothee Chalamet blows it out the park.

Belfast (2021)

Not enough action for me

[7/10 · 21 January 2022]

Surely if you're showing Belfast in 1969/70 you need a bit more tension and thriller sense to it. It seemed too tame to me. There was very little tension and too much drama I thought. Some of the acting is good and I'm sure people get a glimpse of what it was like, but could've been more.

Don't Look Up (2021)

This movie is just annoying

[7/10 · 24 December 2021]

So much potential. Leonardo and Jonah back together. Meryl Streep as part of the cast too. Meryl Streep and Jennifer Lawrence's character are just annoying as hell. The plot has no grip. It's repeated lines and storyline throughout. 2 hours 18 is really long for this movie... Leonardo and Cait Blanchett are great in this movie. Only reason it's not a 5.

The Unforgivable (2021)

How do people not love this?

[10/10 · 11 December 2021]

Ignore the low ratings and give this a go!! I absolutely loved this movie. Sandra Bullock is amazing. The storyline is amazing. Proper tear jerker movie and well worth a watch!!!

True Story: Chapter 1: The King of Comedy (2021) Season 1, Episode 1

Not bad, but not amazing

[7/10 · 26 November 2021]

This is a limited series and I'm not exactly fully gripped from the first episode. Hope it gets better but it's nothing special yet. Kevin Hart does an okay job at being dramatic in this... but don't get the storyline at all.

Maid (2021)

The M stands for Maddie

[10/10 · 24 November 2021]

What a beautifully written story that is brilliantly acted. As someone who went through domestic violence from 2 past girlfriends this hit home in quite a few spots. My relationships werent as hard hitting as a man and not a single mother but definitely caused trauma. Well done Netflix.

That last scene and quote "The M stands for Maddie" definitely pulled on a few heart strings!

Inglourious Basterds (2009)

What a damn movie

[10/10 · 6 November 2021]

Christoph Waltz had me in Spectre but this was another level. The guy is a complete artist. Engaging and thoroughly entertaining no end. The penultimately scene was mind blowing and had me with mouth open for the duration. What a movie. So so good!!!

Money Heist: Vivir muchas vidas (2021) Season 5, Episode 5

Awful

[1/10 · 24 September 2021]

So predictable. The writers build up for 5 seasons to kill Tokyo in the worst way possible. Through a wall by snipers. Berlin gets a Bella Ciao and Tokyo gets some lame ballad? Ruined the series. What's the point in the last 5 episodes.

How to Get Away with Murder: She Hates Us (2016) Season 2, Episode 11

Great episode

[10/10 · 27 May 2021]

There's clear evidence that forgiveness shown to a wrongdoer will change them quicker than that of scorn and shame. A tear jerker and a story that needs to be told. Fabulous episode.

How to Get Away with Murder: Kill Me, Kill Me, Kill Me (2014) Season 1, Episode 9

Enough about the ring Frodo

[9/10 · 20 May 2021]

My favourite line from any series ever. Absolutely hilarious quote from Connor hahaha.

Palmer (2021)

Heart warming movie with a sensitive topic

[9/10 · 13 February 2021]

Hard to beat a Justin Timberlake movie when the script is totally on point. Ryder Allen steals the show though. Great actor with a bright future.

How I Met Your Mother: The Limo (2005) Season 1, Episode 11

Remember when the circuits used to get jammed?!

[10/10 · 11 January 2021]

Kids of today will never understand the pain! Take messaging your loved ones for granted now for sure ;)

The Witcher: Betrayer Moon (2019) Season 1, Episode 3

I'm giving a 10 purely on action

[10/10 · 18 December 2020]

I've no idea what's going on in the story and plot. I can't be the only one that has no idea what the hell is going on in every scene?

The fight scene was epic. I'm watching it at midnight which is a big regret. Proper action and detail in the cinematography.

Fargo: The Principle of Restricted Choice (2017) Season 3, Episode 2

This season is so slow

[4/10 · 15 October 2020]

So hard to follow. Actors are not as engaging as the first 2 seasons. Also the soundtrack has just disappeared for some reason. Not enjoying this at all

Fargo: The Law of Vacant Places (2017) Season 3, Episode 1

Season 1 and 2 set the bar so high

[3/10 · 12 October 2020]

This episode is so slow and it's over an hour long. The actors are not anywhere close to engaging as those in the first 2. Malvo and Mike Millinger are on different levels.

Fargo: Loplop (2015) Season 2, Episode 8

Man I love this episode so much

[10/10 · 9 October 2020]

The constant humour and seriousness was just amazing. I loved the whole comical stabbing scene and then the Indian part where he walks in with this:

Indian- "thinking of getting a hair cut." Peggy- "How do ya?" Indian- "Something professional, shorter like on the sides and back" Peggy- "Well I mean, you've got the bone structure" 😁

One of the funniest and intense episodes ever

Tenet (2020)

Amazing amazing amazing

[10/10 · 28 August 2020]

I loved everything about this movie. The chemistry between the actors is great. The cast is unreal. The soundtrack is perfect. The cinematography in so many scenes just blows you away. Seriously this would've won all the awards if it was going against 1917 last year which it could've because it would've gone back in time if it was real. I love the main actors. The casting was perfect. Christopher Nolan is just a genius. It's simple. Don't try to understand the movie. Just go with it and it becomes a masterpiece

The Hate U Give (2018)

This was hard to watch as it's still so relevant and more so now

[10/10 · 3 June 2020]

With all that is going on in America with George Floyd this was a hard watch tonight. Not being from the US this made things even more real with what is going on in America. This movie is powerful and really good! It gets across exactly what is going on on social media and real life at the minute. It's a real life documentary and is oh so important to watch.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Ding Dong (2020) Season 7, Episode 7

One of the best episodes ever on any show

[10/10 · 13 March 2020]

Laughed so hard at this. Some amazing quotes thatll never be forgotten haha.

Hawaii Five-0: E ho'i na keiki oki uaua o na pali (2020) Season 10, Episode 19

That last scene

[10/10 · 9 March 2020]

It got me in the feels. Danny says he wouldn't say it out loud when it finishes that he'll miss it but I'll be balling my eyes out. What a great show.

Hawaii Five-0: Nalowale i ke 'ehu o he kai (2020) Season 10, Episode 18

A great episode

[10/10 · 1 March 2020]

Makes me sad writing a review about a show that has 4 episodes left 😭
