The Thin Blue Line (1995)
My favourite show
Cannot fault it, Rowan Atkinson at his finest. Brilliant humour, witty lines.
Annabelle Comes Home (2019)
Thoroughly enjoyable
Really enjoyed this film, nice end to the series. Jumpy, scary, good plot - I only wish they hadn't involved the werewolf, that ruined it a bit for me.
Us (2019)
You may need to Google synopsis the same time as watching it
Not sure why it has got such low reviews - it's slightly confusing in parts but after Googling the synopsis, it starts to make more sense. It's a unique take on film, fabulous performances and interesting concept.
The Woman in Black (2012)
Not a patch on the stage show
The film is good as a standalone film but for those of us who have seen the stage show in London, it's not a patch on it. It's a good horror, jumpy, good storyline - Daniel broke free of his Harry Potter character and became an actor in his own right.
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Breathtaking
I watched this film yesterday and am still talking about how good it is - I laughed alot, I cried even more... I cannot understand how it got any less than a 9 in the user reviews. Absolutely stunning, beautiful end to a longggg series.
A House Through Time (2018)
Absolutely enthralled
I started watching this program yesterday and absolutely love it already. It's fascinating, well told and David Olusoga has a real interest and love for the program. Highly recommend to all history lovers or people interested in the past.
A Street Cat Named Bob (2016)
Absolutely fantastic film
I watched this film last year and absolutely loved it from beginning to end. It is a truly lovely film which is backed up by being a true story. Thoroughly lovely film, feel good - love it.
Patrick (2018)
Thoroughly enjoyable
I watched this film earlier today and really enjoyed it. It has everything - laughter, tears, an adorable dog and a lovely storyline. Highly recommend for children and adults alike.
Dead Silence (2007)
A very original horror
I watched Dead Silence when it first came out and class it to be one of my favourite horrors. It also started my appreciation for James Wan's work. It is a very original horror - it doesn't rely on cheap gimmicks, it is in my opinion a frightening horror. It has jumpy bits, it has frightening bits, it has bits I hide my face at. It has everything I love in a horror. The only bit I struggle with is the police investigator - his acting is awful and makes me cringe but it doesn't detract from the film for me.
The Nun (2018)
Okay as an independant film, let down as part of franchise
I watched The Nun earlier this year after being a massive fan of The Conjuring franchise and James Wan. As a standalone film, it's okay - there are some jumpy bits and the concept is scary. As part of the franchise, it's a let down. There are plot holes, there doesn't seem to be much of a feesible storyline, there isn't much of a back story to the nun character. Worth a watch if you like The Conjuring franchise so you can say you've seen them all, but if you're not bothered about having seen them all I wouldn't bother.
Tidying Up with Marie Kondo (2019)
Doesn't live upto the hype
I watched this show earlier this year after an explosion 💥 from what seemed like all of social media surrounding Marie Kondo. I had high hopes however, these were short lived. I just couldn't get into show - it is possibly my least favourite house program. I didn't make it past the first episode and do not plan to replicate any of the suggested tips! One thing I have taken from the episode I watched though is about having items that spark joy.
RuPaul's Drag Race (2009)
Absolutely fabulous
I was introduced to RuPaul's Drag Race late last year and have gone through about 6 seasons in a short space of time (plus series spin offs and spin off films!). It's so addictive, hilarious, bitchy and utterly fabulous. It's such a celebration of diversity, LGBTQ+ communities and just being fabulous in general. The catchphrases used are so catchy ("Okuuuur!") that you will find them creeping into your everyday language. An utter joy to watch and it makes me so happy that we are in a time where this show exists.
The Vicar of Dibley (1994)
An absolute joy from start to end
The Vicar of Dibley is the perfect example of British comedy at its finest (along with Peep Show and Blackadder). It's a beautiful show that makes religion relatable for those who aren't religious whilst maintaining fabulous comedy. It's funny, naughty, endearing, relatable. Highly recommend.
Peep Show (2003)
Example of British comedy at its finest
I first saw Peep Show about 7 years ago and haven't stopped watching it since. It's a perfect example of British comedy at its finest (like Blsckadder) - it's easy watching and I can binge on episodes so easily! The characters and storyline are well thought out. The earlier series are quite nostalgic for me and when going through all the series to the later series, you really develop a bond with the characters. It has so many amazing actors and actresses; Olivia Coleman, Robert Webb, David Mitchell etc. Just amazing.
Escape Room (2017)
Absolute drivel
I watched this film and was massively disappointed. The storyline has massive plot holes and the ending doesn't make sense and is never explained. There is pointless nudity that has literally no relevance to the story. The film starts off good, the escape rooms seem interesting but it just goes downhill from there on. The ending is awful and doesn't make sense. I wouldn't watch this film again.
Escape Room (2019)
Enjoyable horror
I enjoyed Escape Room - there were some obvious plot holes but it was a good watch. The different escape rooms were inventive and clever, the storyline was easy to follow and there were some good twists. I didn't enjoy the ending, which for me was disappointing (that regardless of who survived, they were going to be killed anyway) but would definitely recommend and the film is worth a watch if you want an easy to watch thriller/horror.
Halloween (2018)
Enjoyable finish to a long series
I throughly enjoyed this film - I thought it was a good conclusion to a long series. There were a few small plot holes (I. E. Surely if a serial killer got loose, the FBI would get involved?) but it was a good watch regardless. Judy Greer was a welcomed addition as Jamie Lee Curtis' daughter and I found that the shots used for some of the more gory parts was very effective (not always actually showing the action but you were aware what had happened, such as in the shower in Psycho).
Summer Heights High (2007)
Absolute joy from beginning to end
I first watched Summer Heights High when it first came out and have watched it semi-regularly ever since. SHH is by far one of the funniest things I have ever seen - the characters are so varied but timeless. Perfect if you have a wicked sense if humour whilst giving an insight into Australia.
Lunatics (2019)
Slow burner but worth the wait
I was a massive fan of Summer Heights High and love Chris Lilley's comedy. When I first started watching Lunatics, I thought it was awful and wasn't a patch on Summer Heights High. As I watched more episodes of it, I really started to get into it. It's very funny and showcases Chris' ability to effectively show very different characters - Jana almost had me in tears laughing so much! If you are going to watch it, don't expect it to be like SHH as it's very different and deserves its own respect. Definitely worth a watch!
