Rent-a-Pal (2020)
Very disappointing
I have no idea why this has a rating of 6.3 !
It was slow & depressing with very little happening but, due to a rating of 6.3, I kept watching, waiting for something to happen.
I wouldn't even call it a horror, nor a psychological thriller. I suppose you could call it disturbing but not in any kind of entertaining way.
My advice, don't believe all the ratings here and give this one a miss.
Topper Returns (1941)
Classic 1940s film fun
Clever twists and turns with plenty of laughs. Some of these old black & white films are absolute gems and should not be ignored.
And look out for the Sandeman port man ;)
The Serpent (2021)
Faultless & a definite 'must see'
The the first, and possibly only, time I have rated every episode as the maximum 10.
I cannot recommend this enough. It is based on a true story and genuine characters and, apart from some minor changes by my reading, is extremely accurate. Even the characters look almost as they do/did in real life.
It is a tragic, hateful and, sometimes, frustrating tale that has been presented in such a way that you will be rivetted and so invested as to feel the tension, dismay, anger, distress, passion and disappointments.
It is necessary to pay attention to the time lines and, once you are used to that and have 'met' the characters, the movement back and forth becomes easy to follow.
I gather some have found the movement/experiences from a previous timeline confusing but, quite frankly, if you can follow the characters and nuances of "Archer" you can most certainly follow this ;)
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (2015)
What a magical ride
Brilliant. Masterful. Stunning. Outstanding with superb acting throughout. 10/10
Doordarshan (2020)
Fun, uplifting, family comedy
I thoroughly enjoyed this film.
In some places the subtitles went a little quickly for me and I had to rewind but, overall, I managed to keep up with the visuals, story and characters.
I listened to the credits with a big smile on my face.
The Walk (2015)
Shockingly bad
I couldn't believe how bad this was ! I persevered for nearly and hour thinking I must be missing something because it is rated 6.4 here !
As I watched it I became more and more convinced it was an amateur film & the rating was a mistake. I then found it on IMDb & read another review reassuring me that it was as shite as I felt it was.
Don't waste your time on this. I think the rating must refer to a different film or is from hacking or something. I've seen better acting from 4 year old children!
