Ghost Nation (2019– )

Expected more

[4/10 · 18 November 2019]

Loved Ghost hunters and looked forward to this but it's just dull. I can see why they deliver deadpan but it's not working. They used to be there for one night and now for a week and they find less. Can't have a ghost show where you keep ignoring claims with ridiculous explanations that make no sense. Just a sad disappointment.

The War of the Worlds (2019)

Terrible, just terrible

[3/10 · 28 October 2019]

I don't believe I've ever seen a worse version of this excellent book. Just kept hearing the musical in my head. Maybe the Martians died of boredom

Cosmopolis (2012)

Worst David Cronenberg film I've seen

[1/10 · 28 September 2012]

There are some films you watch and pretty much immediately you know it's not enjoyable. But you stick with it. You hope that there will be some big pay off at the end and then you'll think, wow, must watch that again now I know where it's going.

Well I'm sorry to say, this is not quite one of those movies. True, it started off with me instantly being bored by it. Maybe five times I nearly gave up, but waited for the big pay off at the end. But instead, it was just the end.

Rarely have I been so happy a movie was over.

Considering I'm a David Cronenberg fan, this movie surprised me, it really is awful. It's like your watching some cheap movie made on a cam from someone just out of college.

The dialogue is laboured. It doesn't sound in any way natural and Robert Pattinson seems to be doing his best Christopher Walken impression, but it just doesn't work.

I don't usually write a review of films, but sometimes, people just need a warning.
