The Witcher (2019)
Holy mother of God. Henry Cavill ...
Well I am a sucker for this genre and for a great production. Sure. But two words: Henry. Cavill.
This bloke 100% carries the entire series. Above and beyond.
Sense8 (2015)
Probably great if you're after a sex-fest ?
Seriously - what the actual hell is going on with NETFLIX lately? Why don't we just call if porn-flix?
.... I was told to watch this show by a mate. I lasted two episodes and canned it.
There are some beautiful scenes, some great actors, and some brilliant concepts - obviously. But the sex scenes just put me off completely. ENOUGH of this already. Seriously. You can make a beautiful love scene without the endless 'too much information' dear directors. You honestly can. UGH. Not recommending at all.
Seven Seconds (2018)
Breathtaking and heartbreaking...
This series is masterful in pace, production and casting.
It's so bloody good you'll cry and cry again. You'll care what happens to all the characters from the first episode.
Not since The Killing have I seen anything worth watching on Netflix .
Annihilation (2018)
IT'S A NO FOR ME
Disappointed in a big way by this.
It is disjointed, amateur, and almost irritating ...
So much acting talent wasted.
I watched to the end out of morbid fascination that it was still going . Mostly it annoyed the hell out of me .
Godless (2017)
Thank you !
Geez, it's slim pickin's these days on Netflix if you have a brain, it would seem.
Therefore : I was beside myself to stumble across this little pearler of a western.
I recommend it for many reasons from casting to script to costumes and cinematography... it's reallt nicely done all 'round.
Settle in on a rainy Sunday and appreciate this one folks.
Wake in Fright (2017)
Dear God. One episode was enough, thanks.
As usual, casting and directing by Aussie filmmakers is excellent.
But watching one episode of this was about as fun as being stabbed repeatedly in the throat .
I found it so incredibly depressing on every single level that I couldn't recommend it in any way for any reason, you know?
It was just so dark and so horrible.
Don't put this stuff in your head if you can help it.
Also :: strongly recommend people in alcoholism or recovery don't watch !!! Massive trigger warnings !!
Wonder Woman (2017)
Loved it. Exactly what you'd expect.
Who doesn't love a girl power action film done well? This was kick ass. In a cheesy and wonderfully fantastical way. The action sequences were great. I loved WW in every scene ... 10/10 entertainment. My only wish was to see more colour and less of the British dullness. But yeah wow. A lot of fun .
The Shack (2017)
Sweet. Refreshing.
You know what ? There's so much horrible stuff out there today that I was just grateful to have something GOOD in my head with this film.
A message of love and forgiveness.
I'm sure the anti Christians will carry on like pork chops about how they hate it ... and all the usual...
But I will forgive them. (Yes - pun intended)
Enjoy the reminder about what it is to choose the right thing.
Baywatch (2017)
Offensive to the smallest IQ
I watched this purely because I'm a Dwayne Johnson fan.
Even he could not redeem this trash beyond a single star.
Actually I can't even find the words for how bad this was. Over acted, over edited, absolutely D grade toxic rubbish.
So much gratuitous swearing was used - and it just made it go from bad to worse and then worse again .
My intelligence is deeply offended at having paid to watch this garbage.
Please do not bother !!
Sorry - Dwayne ... but sack your agent asap...
Hidden Figures (2016)
Lovely . Just lovely.
So refreshing to see a film finally done well.
This is one of those films where you find yourself blown away that be world once functioned in such a way.
There are not too many crazy highs and lows ... it just is what it is.
The film works on being simply well done.
The characters (the "coloureds") are played beautifully .
Costner is excellent as the male lead.
Paul is a bit typecast as the bad guy / boffin .
Overall it's spot on .
Bloodline (2015)
Started out promising ...
Meh.
I just don't know what to say about this one.
I wanted to badly to love it. And I did, in parts. But something about it dragged on and on and drove me crazy just when I should have been most on the edge of my seat ...
Mendleson is flawless and revoltingly perfect in his role. He's so gross ! And yet, you do feel sorry enough for his character at times. Which is interesting .
I felt the parts to do with the drowned sibling dragged out WAAAAAY too long .... and the end of season one dragged out way too much altogether
It is okay. Not the best.
