La Brea (2021)
Irwin Allen must be turning in his grave.
This is so bad. Great premise. Terrible execution. Looks like they attempted - nah, can't even give them that. Saw the adds for it on SNF. Al Michaels must be wishing he could take his words back.
Tomb Raider (2018)
Another missed opportunity...
I just 'have' to comment on this movie... I (and our kids) have loved the Tom Raider series from the very beginning. As a family we played all the games with much love for the character and the concept of the game. Sadly we also watched as the games became worse and worse. The first two movies almost hit the mark but Angelina Jolie was the wrong actress for the job. Should have been Elizabeth Hurley. So sad to watch a fantastic concept ruined when 'the corporates' get involved. So, on to Tomb Raider 2018. First comment - soo slow. Next 15 comments - soo slow. It looks good, even great in places. It looses pace almost immediately and it's downhill from there for me. I can never understand how a director and editor can sit down and watch movies and not fall asleep like I did twice. I don't want to fall asleep watching a movie I should love every second of. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle was captivating all the way through. Even looked like the computer game it never was. Like the new Star Wars movies, Tomb Raider has to be made by people who completely understand what the story concept is all about. People who grew up along with Lara Croft. I am very dissapointed.
The End of the F***ing World (2017)
Deserves the awards probably won't get.
So much of today's TV is puerile and childish. This most certainly is among the Best of British TV. I fear that it's title will prevent it from awards though. After a good 53 years of watching screens, this stands proud as an example of what you can do if you have true talent. I look forward to seeing what all involved have to come...
