The Offer (2022)
Class
When I first saw this title and what it was about I put it low on my things to watch list. I have seen the godfather and thought it was a bit slow ( after all it isn't goodfellows). After a while I got round to giving this a bit of air time and was surprised at how good it is. It is so well written with some excellent acting. After a couple of episodes I was captivated. This a unique mini series which takes you into a story that not many people know about. After watching this I had more respect for the film the godfather as well as its actors. Without the work behind the scenes of the producer and backers it would never had been. This is well worth a watch. Excellent imo.
Cocaine Bear (2023)
Terrible
I'm going to be honest with this one. I can't believe that someone actually wrote this. I knew it would be bad before I watched it but wanted to watch something that was was easy and possibly funny. Shockingly the story was poor amazingly terrible and to be honest a waste of 1 he 30 s mins of my life that I'm never getting back. ........ couldn't really tell you about quality as there was non. Ray liota imo is a guy that was in this film that imo made the best gangster film ever made along side Robert de Niro and Joe pesci called the goodfellows if you want to see him at his best watch this...
Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre (2023)
Without Hugh Grant this is a really poor film
Not one of his better films. Hugh grant is class though, but he can't take away the fact that it was a pretty uneventful film. If you want to compare it to guy ritchies previous film the gentleman then I would say that is worth a watch for so many great characters and plot whereas this is just a bit lame for me . I like Jason stratham films as you know what you are going to get but this just falls short on so many levels. As I said Hugh grant is class in the film a he was in the gentleman but its not enough to make this a good film. Dissapointing really as guys films can offer strokes of genius but this doesn't.
Inside Man (2022)
Rediculous
Starts off like it could be good... this lasts 15 about minutes. Then it goes from, Yep something good to watch to who wrote this rediculous episode.
It's lame that he just threw the USB stick on the side( anyone living on another earth knew what was on it before she plugged it in.
It gets worse then saying it was his without even looking at the images, then as a priest swearing on everyone and everything he supposedly loves and believes in that the child porn on the stick was his... It gets worse.. chasing her hitting her head, pushing her down the stairs, locking her in the cellar..???. Over what! Some sicko from church.
Pulp Fiction (1994)
Brilliant
This is a disturbingly dark humoured masterpiece. This has everything to keep you entertained from the off. Sex, drugs, rock and roll, violence with a bit of awesome acting thrown in. Some awesome dialogue that is class.
The Staircase (2022)
Started off well
I realy got into this. I was expecting it all to come to a conclusion (obviously I hadn't read or seen this story before) as time went on I got more excited as it was intriguing.
It kind of just got to a place in the story and said thats that, this is it this is, what he said is or isn't what happened. He's accepted this weather it be true or not let's move on .the end.
Hustle (2022)
Worth a watch
For me it was worthwhile. A bit slow in parts. It could have been bigged up a bit more for the entertainment value during the filming but it is what it is. Sandler plays a great part and is great to watch in a sensible roll. I just found it lost a bit of the story towards the end and we never really found out how much it cost him to help this guy.
Joe (2013)
Slow
This is a slow film that is set in a dead end town. It is depressing and there is not alot happens. The parts in the film that could have been ok were filmed In the dark so you don't see alot. If you are bored within the first 15mins it doesn't get much better, I would suggest switching it off.
The Northman (2022)
Slow
Dissapointing. I found it slow, uneventful, lacking in action.
Vikings the series was much much better than this.
I have gave this a 6 for Alex's shoulder transformation ( they are massive he must have lived in the gym) litterally they are massive, well done him.
As for the rest nothing stood out for me.
A let down, maybe I was expecting some battles and gore which I didn't get. :(
Billions: Lyin' Eyes (2022)
Poor script
Can't handle any more of chucks voice. Not alone on this one, several friends have said the same. Why Prince doesn't have someone watching him and sussing out his next moves is beyond me.
Black Narcissus (2020)
Why even bother
3+ hrs of my life I'm never getting back. Slow, unimaginative, unsure if there was even a story there as it never ever got going. Kept waiting for something to change but never did. Dissapointing!
The Midnight Sky (2020)
Slow
With the amount of new material out there to watch at the moment ( which is limited for obvious reasons) this film is, slow from the off, gets a little better for a small period and then I couldn't really care what happened as it went on. In a nut shell, slow with a poor story
Away (2020)
Great cast
Unfortunately for me the writer thinks that joe public are not to bright. I will mention 2 things then stop as I am not an astronaut. I like to think If you are venturing outside a space craft you would have 2 teathers so you can clip on and off while still being attached to the space craft and if you are just about to spend 3 years with people Inside that craft each and every one of you should know everything about those that are in your team. These people appear to have no idea who are what any one is. I've only watched 2 episodes so far and it appears to be a badly researched and rediculous series ... i could be wrong but if you are sending people to Mars which cant be cheap you would at least have their state of mind evaluated
This is not the case ...........disappointed
Last Breath (2019)
Outstanding! You will hold your breath!!
If you are looking for something different, this is it. It is well documented with awesome footage. As a docudrama it has you gripped with some amazing unexpected twists . At the time of watching this I was blown away. your heart is in your mouth for alot of it as things go from bad to worse. It's a journey that you feel like you are on with those involved, not that you would want to be but it's well written and pulls you right there with them. Very clever.
Frayed (2019)
You wont be disappointed
This is a good watch, the characters and dialogue in it are sometimes laugh out loud. The aussie side to it makes it different to some of the typical garbage British or American comedies that try too hard and just arent funny. If you want a laugh at something origional then try this.
Banshee (2013)
You wont be able to stop watching this
This has everything, and I mean everything. Sex, drugs, rock n roll, murder, torture, robbery, heists, action and much much more. it's a proper binge worthy entertainment package. Loved it!!
Ozark (2017)
Unexpected mayhem
The characters are very well scripted. The story has some good twists with a few unexpected violent shocks. Some of the characters are just not nice to say the least, but are needed as they all bring something to the show. It's a great watch and when it gets into full swing you just can't stop. Looking forward to series 3
The Return of the Pink Panther (1975)
Clouseau!! enough said.
This is absolutely laugh out loud stuff. I haven't seen this for years and had forgotten how funny it is. Some of the scenes are origional classic comedy even though im sitting watching it myself as wife is at work I still laugh out loud . This is great comedy that is timeless. From start to finish it's fun.
Jett (2019)
Awesome unexpected carnage and mayhem
Unfortunately like most reviews I have read on here we have found jett by luck. I dont think it was very well advertised. The series is class, it reminds me a bit of banshee, but different, you'll know what I mean if you've seen it..There are some mega surprises in it that you were just not expecting, I mean " omg that was mental" kind of scenes.
The top and bottom of it is it's a great show with some great characters.
It deserves a second series. I did enjoy everything about it .it's proper binge worthy.
