Nobody (I) (2021)

Way over the top but it was fun

[8/10 · 16 May 2021]

If your gonna take this film seriously your not going to enjoy it. It reminded me of the old spaghetti westerns a good old fashioned shoot out a hint of dialog a hint of romance and tons of bangs n blood so sit back and enjoy.

Nancy Drew (2019–2023)

DO NOT listern to the book readers who have slagged this off

[10/10 · 5 April 2020]

Ok so I can understand to an extent why Nancy Drew fans don't like this adaptation of the character just the same as I didn't like adaptation of Sherlock Holmes in Elementary however that didn't make it a bad show. What I find REALLY annoying I nearly didn't watch this because of the poor rating and only started it because I'm on self-isolation Also I can tell from dates of the bad reviews the majority didn't bother watching more than a few episodes which meant you missed the full story infact the full story in my opinion did Nancy Drew justice and yes I have read the books as a kid and no I didn't like her character or the weak stories Sherlock Holmes was much better TO the series the acting was a good standard and the storyline was excellent the plot was complex with many twists and turns (episode 16 is a must but don't skip to it) I also liked the Horror element to it "ghosts" that all I'm saying I hated Nancy Drew books but I loved this and I'm sure if you watch it all you will too

Boudica: Rise of the Warrior Queen (2019)

Totally fictional insult to a Great woman

[1/10 · 7 March 2020]

The only historical records of Boudica where written by the Romans who had no interest in her until she become Queen so this is pure fiction. Why does it matter ? because the actual historical events that have been written about would make a fantastic epic move but I guess that would have required a budget. One of the things that annoy me the most about movie makers of today is they love to replace traditional male roles with women but there are many great woman like Boudica that great movies could be made about but all they get is low budget, badly written with nobody actors movie made about them ... if you have any interest in Queen Boudica don't bother with this insult to her

The Throwaways (2015)

Throw it away

[3/10 · 15 February 2020]

If you have nothing to do and your waiting for your plan that's been delayed for a few hours THEN this film will kill a bit of that time....

Zombieland: Double Tap (2019)

For me just as funny as the first

[8/10 · 13 February 2020]

I'm not sure why some didn't find this as funny as first movie it was certainly in the same vain a cheesy romp of silliness which I enjoyed as much as the first cheesy romp of silliness

Dolittle (2020)

ok for young children but could have been so much better

[5/10 · 12 February 2020]

I don't know if it's just me but I got the impression that Robert Downey jr voice was dubbed. Not saying it wasn't him but maybe he rerecorded his lines changing his voice or something which was then dubbed over. It also gave me the impression it was a much longer film badly hacked down to just the highlights I'm sure little children will enjoy it and maybe it was more focused at them but for an adult who's still a big kid at heart I was disappointed

Uncut Gems (2019)

Probably the worst film I've ever watched

[1/10 · 2 February 2020]

SHOUT SHOUT SHOUT that's the full summary of this film. The plot if you can call it that is totally uninteresting. I did actually watch it all the way through although I did skip bits when it become unbearable to watch/listen to in the vain hope Adam Sandler would save the movie at some point but he doesn't ........it's a waste of life

Ford v Ferrari (2019)

Tears, Laughter, Excetment, Anger and 2 ledgends of motor sport can't beat it

[10/10 · 1 February 2020]

If you love cars you know who Carroll Shelby is but not so many will know who Ken Mills is. Ken Mills deserves a movie of just him he was an extra ordinary driver in his early races (not part of movie) he would be so far infront when come in for a pit stop he would have a cup of tea as well. His love of a good cup of tea is part of the movie. I never expected this movie to make me laugh so much, cry so much and want to punch someone in the face so much it was a real roller coast of emotions. The acting, the script and the racing scenes where second to none 2 of my all time hero's were done proud

xXx: Return of Xander Cage (2017)

Not a serious film but def a fun film

[8/10 · 15 April 2017]

OMG what a bunch of miserable people most you prolific reviewers are. This was clearly meant to be a fun film that makes you smile. Yes OK it was far fetched and unrealistic so what it was FUN. It's none stop action throughout with plenty of humour thrown in. As for story line which some say it didn't have ..... what the hell!! it did have a story line OK not a brain taxing one but it flowed throughout the film and it made sense, which is a bonus these days.

So don't listen to the grumpy old people watch the film and just have fun

Hunting Hitler (2015–2020)

One of the most interesting documentaries I've watched

[10/10 · 4 April 2017]

I'm a bit puzzled at some of the bad reviews this documentary has had. Either they simple haven't really watched it or not understood the evidence. No they haven't found Hitler but they have shown that it was possible he faked his death and that it was without doubt possible that he could have escaped. I certainly think they provided enough proof that his right hand man Martin Bormann did. My own personal opinion is that Martin Bormann murdered Hitler in the bunker before he escaped because he was a power hungry psychopath and new where all the Nazi plundered treasure was as he over saw the hiding of it. Also Hitler had signed documents putting him in charge if he was killed. What you should also remember is this documentary is not made by a bunch of journalist just having a bit of a fish. These guys are some of the top war crime hunters/investigates in the world. So if they take this seriously so should we.
