Diana (2021)
The worst musical I've ever seen
Good god, this is horrendous. Is it meant to be serious? Is it meant to be funny? I honestly can't tell, though the lyrics are certainly a joke that's for sure.
It is unbelievably painful to watch, I endured about 20 minutes before the level of cringe got too much to bear.
Dragon Kingdom (2018)
Hilariously terrible.
This was just the worst movie I've ever laughed hysterically through!
Firstly, the sets. They made no effort to hide modern fixtures, such as fences and even warning signs on doors; even trying to hide plug sockets behind a candle at one point! It looked as though they had gone to a heritage site before the general public started arriving and just filmed away on a camcorder as quick as they could before any staff noticed!
The costumes. The zombies were just terribly made up, looking like a group of mates you'd find clubbing down town on Halloween weekend. The monsters had zips showing in the back of their costumes, and even gaps where their skin showed through!
The acting. One character in particular stands out here, Prince Favian played by Jon-Paul Gates. I was just lost for words at the worst acting I have ever witnessed in my life. A quick look at his imdb profile shows he has acted in other things, how this is possible is beyond me.
I wondered if the film makers had made it this bad on purpose, however it became clear that this is a serious movie. How they can claim it is from the same special effects team as Harry Potter is baffling.
I do actually recommend watching this movie, as I have not laughed so much in a long time!
Bad Samaritan (2018)
It's just OK
Good points:
- David Tennant makes a perfect creepy villain.
- it's fast paced and has a few jump scares.
Bad points:
- very predictable and far fetched.
- the back story of the villain is kind of only half explained. Either explain it fully, or not at all.
- the actions of the characters, especially Sean, just don't make sense. No normal person would do half the things he did, or be so bumbling when dealing with the police. It was very distracting and I sniggered a few times at how rediculous it was.
Overall, it was OK, that's the only way I can really think to describe it.
Inside Look: The People v. O.J. Simpson - American Crime Story (2016)
Grippingly fantastic
I was not old enough to follow the original trial and so went into this series with kind of fresh eyes (although obviously, I was aware of who OJ was, who had been killed, the verdict etc.). I thought that, because, I already knew the verdict, this would be boring, but I was so wrong! It is gripping from start to finish, and honestly leaves you open mouthed at many points (the glove debacle particularly had me shouting at the TV!).
The acting was fantastic, and I felt like real effort was made to have the actors look like the real life people they were portraying; except for Cuba Gooding Jr. OJ is such a tall, imposing man, and Cuba Gooding Jr is neither of these things, and was often at times, the shortest person in the room. Although he acted the part well, for me, he just lacked the stature needed to convincingly play OJ.
Overall, I would say that this is one of my favourite series of all time. I highly recommend you watch this, no matter how much you think you know about the trial, you won't be sorry!
