Dispatches: Unforgiven: The Boys Who Murdered James Bulger (2001) Season 15, Episode 4

Guilty as charged

[1/10 · 20 March 2024]

This documentary was all about making these two vile murderers out to be the victims in all this.

They took a baby & brutally murdered him then carried on as if nothing had happened, they knew exactly what they was doing & everything that was said on here was " poor John, poor Robert, they was only children" very badly Biased bit of reporting as expected from channel 4.

James Bulger was the innocent victim, these two vile human beings were murderers, they are not victims & should be made to pay for their crimes by being locked up for the rest of their natural livesand should never be released regardless of what this sick programme says.

Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies (2023)

Nice insight

[7/10 · 7 June 2023]

Good series, great to see the formation of the pink ladies although it would be good to understand the Tbirds a little more.

I do have one or two small problems tho, the lip sync on the musical numbers is appaling and would have been so much better if they had been more true to the period as was the original movie instead of goung down the "politically correct" route, there would have been no coloured kids in mainstream school let alone in prominent positions like Hazel & Wally and no openly gay relationships. This didn't in any way spoil the show and lets hope there's a second series introducing our Pink Ladies.

Alex Rider (2020–2024)

Cheap production

[6/10 · 10 December 2021]

Having never read the books but saw the movie so thought I'd give the series a go.

Well acted by a pretty much unknown cast, good storyline spoiled by cheap production techniques. First series filmed 90% in darkness so you struggled to see the action & pretty much had to guess what was happening.

If series 2 is the same I will be giving it a miss.

Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

What a crock of s#@t

[2/10 · 3 October 2018]

2 1/2 hrs of my life wasted, this was so boring I went to bed after the first hour. Pointless drivel put out there to make money. NO real story, NO believable characters and absolutely NO point to it. Glad I didn't pay money to see it

Scorpion (2014–2018)

It's a TV show

[7/10 · 31 August 2018]

OK, it's full of "geniuses" (or is that genii?) and the leader has an IQ of 197 but please, its a TV show & is made for entertainment - and this it does. Had all these episodes been factually correct like most of the reviewers on here seem to want I guarantee you would have switched off after 10 minutes cos it would be so damned boring. Personally ( and not having an IQ in genius levels) I found this entertaining, funny in places and certainly not boring, the characters were quite likeable, the idea was sound - and based (loosely) on a real life company and ok, the plots were a little ott but that's television for you. I look forward to more outings with team Scorpion
