Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
Go see it on the big screen while you can!!!! :D
I thought it was brilliantly entertaining, and did not notice the 2.5 hour's go by at all. Similar riffs to the other movies Miller has done. But it just feels even more in your face. And as others have said, the cinematography, stunts, colourisation, players etc. Are pretty damn amazing.
My fave has always been the Road Warrior since I saw it when it came out at a very loud cinema back in the day. For me, Furiosa just pips Fury Road. I loved all the players, especially young Furiosa, and of course Anya as young adult Furiosa (with her "eye-acting" as I heard her call it in an interview!) And most definitely Chris Hemsworth as Dr. Dementus. He's got great comedy-chops!
Finally, whether you like the series that much or not, this is quite delicious on the big screen (which movies like this were made for) - it's fun, demented, gruesome, scary, exhilarating, wild, and awesome.
Go and bl**dy see it mates while is on the big screen!!! :)
Resident Alien (2021)
I miss People of Earth...
Giving this a very generous 7/10 (there's not much on these days due to pandemic!) I miss People of Earth! Similar difference, but better writing, and a lot funnier. I don't mind the supporting actors in RA, the main one though, not so much. Will keep watching and see if it gets a 2nd season (?)
The Trip to Greece (2020)
Something missing...
There's something missing. I'm fairly certain they used to name the restaurants and eateries they went to and discussed the actual meals they were having, but not in this series. It's virtually the same format as the others. Except their impressions, banter, and seemingly nastier digs at each other, overextended. Additionally their's and camera's barely masked ogling at young females a little cringy. There is however very beautiful scenery and a bit of history still. I generally liked it but not as mush as the others :/
Work in Progress (2019)
Human :)
Very cool show. Very real, crazy, simple, complex, and funny about everyday issues and romance. Wonderfully colourful characters with heart! :)
The Expanse (2015)
It's slow, then Amazon step in middle of Season 3 - BooM!
Season 1 was very good, season 2 started to wane, then season 3 seemed like a real chore to get through and like several actors with boring story and dialogue on a bad set of Doctor Who! Then, about halfway through season 3 the story gets WAY better and the CGI gives The Expanse the expansive visuals it needed. Obviously and blatant budget boost too! Went from 5/10 to 8/10 for me. Seems like Amazon might be in for a few more seasons too!
Long Shot (2019)
Rubbish
I do like these 2 actors in different movies. But this was just garbage. Seriously?
Just Another Immigrant (2018)
Gets tiresome... :/
The uncle is really funny, his mum sweet, and housemaid and childminder, oops, I mean 'wife' a saint. He's a bit of a child really... Whole thing gets tiresome and is purple. I"m watching it as sadly I'ma TV show addict and in between shows this gets an airing. I could switch off I know, but... 6 stars for the uncle, 'Rags'.
Free Solo (2018)
Really great, but ...
Really great, amazing, and totally stupid! It is very scary to watch.
Very briefly it also mentioned his amazing work with charities with his foundation - amazing and highly commendable!
But he does seem to me he has some severe relational and emotional issues and his clear obsessiveness with dangerous climbs quite unhealthy really. But it also seemed as though this was something new he was also working on so good luck to him. A good person. Hope he finds some balance in his life that we all strive for :)
I'm Dying Up Here (2017)
Sadly cancelled :(
What a marvellous show this was. I particularly like the 70s era. Very sadly cancelled. Too much rubbish for viewers to choose from instead of tuning into quality productions like this one...
Z Nation (2014)
I WILL MISS YOU :(
I will miss this show and the characters. It was truly different and funny. But I kinda agree (with the more positive reviewers) that it did start to slide and get a tad confused and boring after the first several sessions, sadly. Will still be missed...
How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World (2019)
VERY BAD!!!!!!
Sorry but this story-less, joke-less and oversentimental cringy third installment was terrible if not the worst! Nice animation, terrible terrible movie. Disappointed I went to movies with 3 kids to see this that were eyerolling saying WTF?!
Ray Donovan: The Dead (2019)
I LOVE THIS SHOW, But...
I LOVE THIS SHOW, But I must agree that was a very unsatisfying ending. There is a Season 7 coming so it there could've been a little cliff-hanger!
We at least know Ray will go and get some much needed counselling (who wouldn't after the violent, death-filled and weird life he leads!?)
And what ever happened to his cop buddy??
Lastly, and most VERY bizarrely, considering Bridget has always TOTALLY rejected how her father lives his life, is she suddenly OK with chainsawing someones head off???!!! WTF!!!
...still love the show! :)
Friends from College (2017)
Love it!!
I love this show and hope they renew for a Season 3! Very funny, down-to Earth and relatable awkward situations brilliantly acted out by the cast. It is funny and realistic. Enjoy the ride! :)
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018)
Very cool
VERY lush and astounding stylised artwork (meticulously blended screen-print style graphics to 3D edginess), colourful, super funny, and sweet (w/some almost hammy Deadpool-type humour.) Fantastic movie, really enjoyed it, a visual treat to be sure! :)
Sorry to Bother You (2018)
Perhaps behind the times in an age of inevitable automation...
It was kinda funny in places. I get the up the worker ethic and all that and most definitely the commentary on race. But in an age of automation and AI that will inevitably gobble up low-skilled jobs and venture onwards and upwards now and into the future. I felt this title seemed a bit behind the times in its satirical commentary. Large corporations will employ robots to do the work and those jobs will not be replaced with humans anymore (let alone horse-people!) Yes, a change in systems that benefits all needs to eventuate or else corporations and a few at the top of the chain will have all the wealth. That's not right. Bit I'm not exactly sure how it all changes. I don't have the answer. But I believe it needs to change to purpose beyond profit and health over wealth for all. That message was in this movie. But as mentioned - basic jobs won't exist soon 'to just get by' on. A big change is needed in up-skilling and also from up above down and the sides across in how everyone is looked after
Tangerine (2015)
Delicious :D
Love, loss, tantrums, breakups and break ins! Loved it! Watch it! It's simply beautiful and gorgeous ... :D
Mother! (2017)
Gorgeous!
Loved it! Gorgeous, creeping, suffocating, explosive! Watch it. Oddly felt a little Terry Gilliam in here :D
Biutiful (2010)
Wonderful and sad ...
Wonderful and sad. Beautifully acted and shot. ... Watch it.
American Honey (2016)
Beautifully shot observation of teen lives lived ...
For me a similar type vibe and viewpoint as with say The Florida Project or Tangerine. American Honey is an observation of love and loss for a travelling band of sales teens. A displaced and disenfranchised portion of American youth. Gorgeously shot. Beautiful and free. Watch it, simple.
The Florida Project (2017)
Lyrical, simple, poignant ...
What a beautifully shot movie and viewpoint ... Joyous, sad, and in-between ... Loved it as I did Tangerine, which is completely different yet another beautiful human observation of the trials and tribulations of some other's lives ... Watch it.
