Tokyo Trial (2017)

Tokyo woke ...

[5/10 · 30 June 2021]

Not enough detail on the actual trial & the people on trial.. Too much focus on trying to excuse the horrendous Japanese atrocities by turning it into nasty West Colonial bullies were just as bad story ....a woke version of events .

Finding Your Feet (2017)

Liberal tosh.

[4/10 · 3 July 2020]

Liberal luvvies being all wacky & zany to show allegedly posh lady what real is about..yawn.

D-Day the Sixth of June (1956)

Romantic Tosh.!

[4/10 · 25 February 2020]

What a surprise ! American hero sweeps a girl off her feet while the stiff upper lip English are made to look a bit silly

Star Trek: Picard (2020–2023)

For Trekkies only .

[7/10 · 27 January 2020]

A series too far I feel for Picard..interesting in parts dull in others. I guess Picard fans will really enjoy it others less so.

Legend (I) (2015)

Silly .....

[1/10 · 11 October 2019]

The Krays were horrible nasty pieces of work...they were not Legend just scum. Some of the film looks like an rated X Carry on Film..

Bohemian Rhapsody (2018)

C+

[5/10 · 21 September 2019]

Needed to be grittier....he looked more like Mick Jagger

Spotlight (I) (2015)

Brilliant..

[9/10 · 8 August 2019]

Gripping account of a totally shocking story Well acted throughout .

Big Little Lies (2017–2019)

Disappointing second series..

[7/10 · 24 July 2019]

Watchable first series ...shouldn't have made a second ....Streep overacting ...by the end I could not care less about any of them..

The Post (2017)

Over hyped..

[6/10 · 23 July 2019]

The film seemed rushed out in the light of the present political climate ....rather one dimensional & naive at times.

Catch-22 (2019)

Nothing to laugh about..

[5/10 · 22 July 2019]

Serious stuff wrapped up as a comedy which doesn't really work .

Charité (2017– )

Not bad.

[6/10 · 13 July 2019]

Not as good as the original Charite series.. Watchable though.

Charité (2017– )

Watchable..

[6/10 · 13 July 2019]

Watchable drama..first series is better than the second ..it has its faults but overall interesting just from a historical point of view

Departure (2019–2022)

Garbage...

[1/10 · 11 July 2019]

Wooden acting , terrible casting &laughable script...what is Christopher Plummer doing in this.?
