Masters of the Air (2024)
Correct about USA saviours but very poor on UK
Ok, we all know we'd have likely lost WW2 without the USA, and we are so grateful for that. Especially to those who gave up their short, precious, miracle of life for a cause outside if their own country.
This series, like to he ones before it, shows the bravery and horrors of war that,thankfully for us, are merely words.
Sadly this series is extremely poor, to say the least, in it's portrayal of the allies.
Indeed, anyone young person thinking back after watching this, will remember the English as merely getting 'whipped' by the USA in a street fight and for inaccurate but 'safer' bombing at night. The latter may be true but the UK was far more than this, and to be depicted as nothing other in this way is disgraceful.
Frasier (2023)
Salvageable, it feels like a victim of the writers strike
The good point, Grammer always has and will play Crane perfectly. He can become Crane seemingly with ease, so much so that you feel like a percentage may well be like him in real life.
The bad parts, sadly the writing and gags are generally obvious before they arrive and not fresh or original. That can be salvaged, for such a big named series the best comedy writers shud be on board, if they aren't, or they were on strike, get them and save this show!!!
Finally the worst part, the canned laughter. It's so obvious it's cringe worthy. Largely down to poor writing no doubt, but there has to be a better format of this.
Improve in these areas and save the show!
Bite the Dust (2023)
Nope sorry, just too amateur hourish for me
Acting and feel of the movie gave the impression it was filmed in a small theatre stage, with the music taken from Tom and Jerry or Scooby Doo at times.
I normally wouldn't write a review without seeing the full film, but I just couldn't get to the end of this one.
Clearly low budget, and hats off to those doing clothing and sets, but the rest was pretty aweful.
Poor acting, more wooden than the town set.
Got the feeling at times the writers were juggling with a serious western or a comedy western and ending falling somewhere in between in no man's land.
Clearly the high raters may have a connection with the film somewhere.
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023)
Shocking, but because it's so bad
Maybe had half a chance with some of the kill scenes that were a decent take on 80s horrors. If it's your thing, a nice bit if gore.
Sadly, the acting and script put paid to that and ruined any chance it had.
Just utter stupidity that made no sense in what the 'actors' had to do. You'll find yourself laughing at it but sadly in areas that weren't meant to be laughed at.
Some money spent on on the sets, but a possibly fun horror just ruined by the script and the acting, another wot cud have been movie.
AA Milne may return in the sequel after his heart restarts from spinning in his grave from this.
a-ha: True North (2022)
A masterpiece, but hopefully not their last
Never has just over an hour gone so quickly for me. From the opening chords of 'i'm in' , there's little time wasted in pumping out all the tracks from a superb album which showcases the talent we know aha has. This is them at their melancholic finest, with a background short displaying mother earth in a fittingly cold yet beautiful panoramic way.
Magne comments that he hopes the film helps the songs to reach their audience in the way that they were written to. The lady crying next me during the final classic 'you have what it takes' should answer those hopes. An album rich with classic tunes, YHWIT deserves some solid promotion, doubtless that won't happen and once again it'll be the fans only who just get to enjoy it.
Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond - Featuring a Very Special, Contractually Obligated Mention of Tony Clifton (2017)
Jesus would say "what would Jim do?"
Occasionally Holywood is fortunate to have a genius in its realm. Jim Carrey is one of them. To become a person, so true to
them that even his friends and family are
taken by it, is a special gift.
a-ha: The Movie (2021)
Cracking doc showing their gifts and darksides
I will try to remain as impartial as possible as I have to admit to being a long term fan of the bands music, particularly their live performances. As any fan will tell you, we see them as underrated. This may confuse some as they are obviously well known and had much success. Most of that success however was in their early years, riding on the back of a fabulous start and much regretted pop promotion with mainstream media. None of the early stuff really showed what a talented group they were. This docu film certainly helps to do that and shows why fans know they are underrated, it gets right into their hearts. Brutal at times for a fan when you realise that they were not enjoying the roller-coaster they are on but I'd rather have seen it than not. There are of course high points with the low and final scenes do sort of set up the possibility we now know as true north. Can't wait for that next year!
Becky (2020)
Aweful
The only point worth writing about is to say that the actors need to call their agents and fire them.
The Islands (2019)
The 2 stars are purely for scenery
Where did the high reviews cone from? Has to be people associated with the 'film'. It's like a group of Bible bashers have got together on an island and made a low budget film for fun. Terrible all round. Apart from the scenery.
Bad Boys for Life (2020)
Where next for Will Smith's career?
Cliche riddled movie that's been done to death. Where were the jokes from, 1985? Your better than this Will. Stop loving yourself and take a step back, get to know the price of milk again and wait for a decent script to come along, it may be your last chance.
