Jules (2023)
Judd Hirsch
It feels like Ben Kingsley was poorly added. Every time he was on screen and spoke, all I could think of was the actor Judd Hirsch, Especially his 'The Goldbergs' character. I just feel this role was made for Judd Hirsch.
Overall, the film was good. I was semi hoping it would be like the 80's film cocoon, where Aliens rejuvenated our elderly adults, but sadly that did not happen.
Do not think there will ever be a sequel made, but at the end of the film, it left a possibility for one.
It was a light, enjoyable movie and definitely worth the watch. It was great to see Jane Curtin, from 'The third rock from the sun' in something else, involving Aliens on Earth/
Wolf Pack (2023)
Not another Teen Wolf show
Hmmmm where have we seen a Tv show, about Teenagers getting bitten and turning into were wolves and becoming a wolf pack, before.
I can only judge so far on one episode, but it cries Teen wolf.
Let's comment on the CGI. Thankfully no animals got hurt in this first episode, as all but one, was CGI. But the Cgi was pretty poor. I have seen better graphics, coming from a Japanese cartoon or computer games, made for children.
The plot, is exactly like teen wolf so far, Again, teens get bit, become a pack, fight evil werewolves. Another reviewer on here says the show is refreshing. It's more stale than Zombies. At least 'The last of us' adds a new grip to the Zombie, instead of the usual aliens / comet caused it, or a nuclear power plant leak.
Then to top it off, Sarah Michelle Geller is in it, as a fire investigator. I think she may have been poorly picked, as all I could see, was Buffy Summers ( Buffy, Tv show) coming to kick butt.
Devotion (2022)
A man, who deserves to not be forgotten in time
Before watching the film, I very much wanted to know who Ensign Jesse Brown was, so did some research, which I recommend before watching..
Whilst watching the film, we get to learn just exactly who Ensign Jesse Brown was, a smart, intelligent individual. I will not spoil the film for you, so will not say what happens, but I sit here crying, which is shocking, as I did not know the man.
The film misses off certain criteria, from what I have read, which is a shame, but overall, I recommend, not only watching this movie, but educating yourself on Ensign Jesse Brown. He deserves to not be forgotten.
New Amsterdam: Rise (2022)
British Police cars with American car registration plates
I really wish this show would do their research on Britain. For starters no NHS hospital or Doctors surgery has wooden flooring. It's too unhygienic for starters.
Then you have cars driving/parking on the wrong side of the road. We British, drive on the left, not the right. At one point a car drove past an American muscle car, that was parked in the street. Yet before and after, it continued to drive on the right, this wouldnt happen in the Uk.
Lastly, British police cars with American reg plates!!!!!!! Come on guys. I am shocked non of the British actos/actresses have corrected them, or made amends, some how.
The Contractor (2022)
If They made Jack Ryan Movies on a £10 budget
The best way to describe this would be, Jack Ryan on a low budget and with poor script writers.
First of all there is so many questions, that I have unanswered. Why small story lines would simply end without an explanation. Why certain characters were in the film, when the film would have had the same results, with, or without that character(s).
It to me, felt like someone had read a recent Jack Ryan book/movie, thought they could do better, and then paid a distributor, to publish the poorly writ book/movie.
The acting was top notch, which seems a shame. Chris Pine obviously on par with his acting skills. To give him more credit, on poorly writ films like this, I have seem top Hollywood actors, give up and give their worst performance, but Chris Pine kept it true to his skills.
I honestly would not recommend this film to anyone. It was a waste of nearly 2 hours, I could have used, watching paint dry.
Batwoman (2019)
Ms Pennyworth for Batwoman
Whilst I prefer the actress Javicia Leslie playing Batwoman over Kate Kane, I did not understand why, they didnt try and choose Alfred's daughter, to play Batwoman, after Kate Kane disappeared.
Alfred's family has the biggest connection to Batman after all. He raised Bruce, so would have been a great story line, for the mantel to pass on to Miss Pennyworth.
The one thing I dont understand though is why every character, or at least every Batwoman, has to be lesbian? I have nothing wrong with characters being lesbian, but to have one replace the other - What are the odds. I realise that they have to cover certain lists, such as one person being African American, one person being lesbian etc, but could they not have made second batwoman different, that makes her stand out from the first? This could be, she being A-sexual, Trans, fluid or whatever.
Season three has become poor with story lines. It is basically Batman, with the same villains. I want to see new, alternative villains but in all honestly, I guess I want another green arrow and instead, what I am getting is the cheap knock off B-version, that has been made within 10 mins, as that is all the studio time they could afford.
I do not see this show, lasting as long as Green Arrow, or even the flash. I hope it ends soon.
Ps Pennyworth the TV show is better than this.
The Equalizer (2021)
Queen Latifah is as much of an Action character as John Candy was
Whilst I admit I do like this show, I have a lot of questions that I dont think could be answered. Starting with, a woman who has been in the military for X amount of years, how can she be so .... body large and sluggish. Do not get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with peoples various body sizes, but if you have been in the Military for so long, I would expect to be healthier / fitter.
Adam Goldberg's character, the so called 'Tech expert' yet has no firewall !!!!!
Again Adam Goldberg's character. For a tech expert who can apparently hack, why has he never made himself invisible? I. E deleting any presence he may have on other servers etc
Overall they have picked the wrong character to play the Equalizer. Liza Lapira, aka Mel, would have played a better Equalizer, with Adam Goldberg being the "sniper" and. Queen Latifah playing the techie.
New Amsterdam: Talkin' Bout a Revolution (2022)
London must have moved
I don't know where this was set, but it was not London.
For starters, the Ambulance or Fire engine, that can be heard at the beginning of the show, is not of the same noise, as a British one.
Secondly, they get a London flat. Flat's in London are expensive, I'm talking several thousand, just for a studio apartment, per month. So to have a flat that size, would be through the roof.
Notice in the flat, near the bottom of the wall, American plug sockets, British ones are neither that shape, or size.
Black cabs in the Uk have to be of a certain age, usually they cannot be any more than 8 years old, depending on the council. The taxi they got out of, is over 10 years old at least. Also taxi handles are usually of a bright colour, so they can easily be seen at night, never of a dark orange / red colour, making them hard to see in the dark and therefore dangerous.
The worst thing is though, one of the stars, is ENGLISH and should have been able to spot these faults herself.
