The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)
Wonderful movie
After reading some of the negative reviews, I nearly did not bother watching this at all. What a mistake that would have been. Yes this may not be for everyone, but I class myself as someone who just enjoys a good movie with a great script and a great story, and this certainly ticks those boxes.
Throw is great scenery and superb actors and you have an absorbing tale that keeps you hooked from start to finish.
This is a cracking movie and highly recommended.
Don't be put off, the 7.8 is well deserved and it's a 10 from me as Farrell and Gleason were excellent . Hopefully this will get the Oscar it deserves.
Felon (2008)
Brilliant
Not sure how I missed this first time around but just seen today on Netflix. What a cracking movie. It starts out with a situation which could happen to any of us, and then sees the protagonist drawn in to an unfortunate and violent prison world.
An unflinching look in to American prison systems and the culture within them, Felon lays everything bare and makes you wonder what you would do in a similar situation.
Val Kilmer plays a great role and has a very moody presence.
The head prison guard is sadistic and the brutality of the film is shocking, but it's a great watch and I really enjoyed it. You won't see a better prison movie.
Alone (2020)
Strong movie
My wife and myself watched this recently and the movie kept us very engaged throughout. Quick paced, great sense of paranoia throughout from main protagonist , who doesn't quite know if she is being followed or not.....excellent forest/ wilderness cinematography. If you like tense thrillers, this one is for you, very entertaining.
RoboCop (1987)
A Classic
They don't make them like this anymore. Just watched again after probably 20 years. Robocop is a great action film, superb performances and top notch sci-fi. I think if they tried to do a remake today they would never ever capture the brilliance of this original. 10/10.
Unhinged (2020)
Gripping
Family were gripped by this movie from start to finish, great back story and then in to the main plot for the movie, makes you wonder, you just do t know who is next to you in that line of traffic !!
The Tomorrow War (2021)
Really enjoyed this
A really enjoyable sci-fi action pic this, a unique storyline too. The movie has some super action scenes and the odd comedy moment too, and the time travel element works really well. All focussed around a family storyline, there is a lot to enjoy and you won't be disappointed if you enjoy this genre.
The Alpinist (2021)
Superb film making
I had never head of Marc Andre before but had this doc recommended to me. It was visually stunning and his story draws you in. It is a superb film. One wonders what may possess someone to do this hobby, let alone find out they are very good at it, but one thing is for sure, the danger is immense but the skill of Marc Andre to free climb was also immense and unbelievable to most people.
Lennox Lewis: The Untold Story (2020)
Great documentary
I forgot how good Lennox was, this documentary is exceptional in telling the full story of his life and features all major fights. Superb. A real insight in to maybe the best of all time.
ZeroZeroZero (2019)
Masterpiece
As one reviewer has already stated this is a masterpiece, a superb drama, that hooks you in to the intertwined story of the suppliers, brokers and dealers of the global narcotics trade. Violent but truly gripping this is one of the best series I have watched, bravo to the producers, an excellent series.
The Book of Boba Fett (2021)
Very Entertaining
Some episodes were stronger than others but overall this is a great series, I Particularly liked the story with the sand people and how that developed. Disney are bringing to life again the original star wars saga with these fantastic shows and I can't wait for the Mandalorian S3.
A Violent Man (2022)
Brooding story, great acting
Can't understand the score on here, all the written reviews here are positive. Acting is top class, this is a different type of story getting into the mind of a psychotic but very intelligent prisoner. Scary stuff, very well acted. Well done to Craig and the actors.
Out of the Furnace (2013)
Best film I've seen in a long time
Just seen this on Netflix and what a movie. Bale, Harrelson and Affleck are superb in this thrilling and compelling story set in a steel town outside Pittsburg. It's grim in places but what a movie, the best I have seen in a very long time. 10/10.
The Vanished (2020)
Entertaining movie
Don't really get the bad reviews, the unexpected ending explains all the strange things that happen and get said throughout this movie. It keeps you guessing and is a well paced, twisty thriller like others have also said. We really enjoyed it, and happy to recommend. Good ending.
Fear of Rain (2021)
Very enjoyable
Watched this last night and we were entertained. It's a slick and twisty thriller, well thought out with a couple of great twists. If you like good thrillers with a decent pace, you will enjoy this.
Man of Steel (2013)
Really good
Follows Superman 2 but in a more detailed way with depth to the story. It's a roller coaster ride and I'd forgotten how good this movie is. Great effects, emotional with Clark's family and superb entertainment.
Wrong Turn (2021)
Great entertainment
This may be a movie that you won't necessarily watch again, but as a one off piece of entertainment we loved it. Good suspense and fast paced, it will keep you really entertained if you like this genre. Well worth a watch and great ending too !
102 Minutes That Changed America (2008)
Gripping
Real life cameras , real life documentary. Absolutely shocking but superb film making. Feels like you are there running from the falling towers , not seen a better real life documentary.
Intrusion (2021)
Enjoyable thriller
We enjoyed watching this, quick pace, good twist and keeps you interested through out, solid 8/10 and well worth a watch.
No Time to Die (2021)
Really Good Bond Movie
Watched this today and it is an excellent Bond movie. Even my Wife who isn't the biggest Bond fan thought it was excellent. A great finale for Daniel Craig, top film.
Vendetta (2013)
Loved this!
Superb entertainment and that is why we watch movies. Finally watched it and glad I did, violent and gritty but you want the main protagonist to succeed, we would all feel the same in that situation there is no doubt t at all. Great movie.
Rust Creek (2018)
Super little movie
A cracking thriller, keeps you on the edge of your seat, well worth a watch.
Clickbait (2021)
Gripping Thriller
Hooks you in as this is a fast paced thriller with lots of twists and turns. Some on here don't like the ending but it's a great twist that no one will guess. Recommend.
Sweet Girl (2021)
Ending spoiled it
I would have scored this 9 but for the ending which turned a very good film in to something totally unbelievable. It spoiled it, in my opinion.
Polar (2019)
Excellent Entertainment
Great story, superb action, great locations, a little dark comedy, if you like John Wick you will love this.
Uncut Gems (2019)
Very good
Loved this, fast paced, edge of seat. Different kind of movie, but very well done. Superb.
