Good Grief (2023)
Gloomy
The only good things about this film are the music and Ruth Negga . Before people say "the man is grieving" but oh my the main character is so unlikeable , so patronising , so annoying , so pretentious . It's such a pity as the film could have been good I'm guessing with a better actor .Ruth negga is a joy and play her character well but the rest is unfortunately very pretentious and cliche . I think the overall gloom and doom affects the outcome , there have been plenty of other films about death and grieving and loss that handle the experience so much better than this which is a shame as I was really hoping this would be much much better .
Scream VI (2023)
Disappointing
Wanted so badly to like this but was disappointed really . Mostly because this and scream 5
Are not scary , 1-4 had some really tense scenes and plenty jumpscares . I didn't get scared once during these last 2 films . They've just replaced them with gore and bloodshed , yes they've
Kept some of the humour and they look more stylised but I challenge anyone to say
They got scared once on these last two films . The original 3 and even 4th one had plenty jumps . Disappointed if they've also killed off Gail she's
Only funny character left .I do hope if they make scream 7 they go back to trying to have the audience on the
Edge of their seat and not a knives out sequel or Agatha Christie whodunnit.
Physical (2021)
Enjoyable show
Enjoyed this show but being the nerd that I am I can't get over all the bad timing of things in this. It states it's set in 1987 and later so why does it highlight and feature things clearly from the late 70s . Sorry but no one was crazed about aerobics and leg warmers in this period not was it the invention of the betamax video recorder not to mention the soundtrack , while good but mostly from 1981 or 1982 . I know these things don't really effect the enjoyment of the show but researchers didn't really get it right .nonetheless I did enjoy it although main character was quite unlikeable at times.
The Voyeurs (2021)
Worst film of all time
Wow wow wow . This is sooooo bad . People used to criticise pop stars making films but omg this is the worst acting I have ever seen in my entire life . Who are these "actors" ? I have never seen worse .this is absolute cliche driven drivel from beginning to end . Why is it so amateur and cringe worthy . Seen nativity plays With more depth.
Broadcast News (1987)
Overrated
Why all the praise ? This is so average. Unlikes let characters, no storyline, not funny . Sorry not sorry but can someone explain how this is supposed to be some masterpiece ?!?
Sex Education (2019)
Don't get the hype
Love the soundtrack but don't get it . It just seems so contrived , it's got a 70s/80s soundtrack , the lingo is 2019 but they attend what looks like a privileged private college whilst living in thatcher council estates . The biggest disappointment is there is not one single likeable character . They are all gross , only watched 5 of the 8 episodes . Somebody tell me does it improve ??
Grenseland (2017)
What happened
Was enjoying this until the WTF ending ?? There wasn't one ! So disappointing after quite a good series
A Simple Favor (2018)
Great
Great movie , I enjoyed it much more than Gone Girl and so I'm glad this is getting praise . The two leads are fantastic and recommend highly
Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
Ruined Spidey
This is just awful awful awful. I'm shocked at the high rating this is getting on IMDb but I'm glad the general public aren't making it as big as the critical acclaim. It's so bad . The first half hour I honestly didn't know what was going on at all. An already established Spider- Man making blogs from a hand held camera. Iron man talking gibberish via avengers product placing . There is nothing to like here, no decent villain, no teen love interest , no humour, no heart basically. Brought my kids to it too and they were confused and by the end of a very boring 2 hours plus they were just meh! Why have they ruined Spider-Man in this way . The acting is good by lead I'll give it that but the Sam raimi films are far superior. Plus , the cgi is atrocious . Don't listen to the reviews and stay away in droves . Sad to see Spider-Man ruined this way.
