Doctor Who: Legend of the Sea Devils (2022) Season Unknown, Episode Unknown

Averagely bad Chibnall

[1/10 · 17 April 2022]

I'd put this on a similar tier to Can You Hear Me? They're both pretty bad episodes with resolutions that are impossible to follow (I have no idea what happened in the resolution to this), but there's nothing spectacularly bad and the setups for the plot are decent.

Thasmin is still painful but I at least get some comfort in knowing that 13 doesn't reciprocate, although her reasoning is quite contradictory to itself (I mean she basically reasons that she doesn't want to get together with anyone because it will end badly and then says 'can we just live in the present moment?' as if that isn't a justification for pursuing it rather than not). I do at least wish Chibnall had put all of that talk at the end instead of sprinkling a bit in during a climactic part, he did the same in Eve and the tonal whiplash is awful, especially when the music literally can't keep up with the tone changes.

As for the rest of the episode itself (besides the resolution), the pirate queen was well-acted, though I can't say I found her compelling. I actually enjoyed the swordfighting segment somehow, it wasn't half bad, wish there was more of that. Not sure what happened to the sea monster and honestly it felt like it wasn't serving a purpose. Also the pacing of this episode is horribly rushed, and the Chibnall problem of characters stating things onscreen is still rampant (at one point a character says 'the stars moved, did you see that?' next to the pirate queen who was literally looking at them for navigation).

Every bad Chibnall episode has a few extra dumb moments, my picks this time (minus the ones already mentioned) are when the guy who joined Dan on the ship just happened to be wearing the keystone because he just happened to be the descendant of the person who saved it, and when a group of sea devils walk up to Dan and another guy (who have swords) with no weapons, and just stand there so they can get cut down.

Overall not unbearable but minus the swordfighting bit I got no more than I expected.

Doctor Who: Flux: Chapter One - The Halloween Apocalypse (2021) Season 13, Episode 1

Meh. Better than Revolution I guess

[5/10 · 31 October 2021]

By Chibnall standards I guess this is solid. I still can't stand any scene involving Yaz or the Doctor, especially the intro which was just painfully bad, partly from terrible CGI but otherwise just from the ways Chibs scenes are often cringy. I think the only good thing I can say about this episode is the practical effects on the new monsters (not the dog guys, the red skull and blue skull guys, actually they kinda look like that thing from the Montero music video) look awesome, but the story so far is a mess and a half, trying to cram in way too much at once.

There's a couple of particularly dumb moments in this episode which I was just baffled by (spoilers past this point):

It's never explained how the red skull guy got free

The reveal of that random woman living in the arctic circle being the sister of aforementioned red skull guy was painful

The episode's weeping angel came seemingly from nowhere and by chance sent the apparently important character of Claire back to the same time as the red skull sister

Apparently the sontarans are now destroying the universe and are excited by it, which seems incredibly out of character for them. More of a dalek plan than a sontaran plan, considering the existence of The Stolen Earth/Journey's End.

Hopefully this'll all get cleaned up a bit later in the season but I'm not overly optimistic.

Doctor Who: Revolution of the Daleks (2021) Season Unknown, Episode Unknown

Could've been worse but I didn't get anything better than I expected from a typical Chibs episode

[4/10 · 1 January 2021]

For the most part this episode is just really mediocre, not much to hate on. Pretty typical Who plot. I think Robinson was probably the best part about it until he made the really stupid decision to side with the daleks, his dialogue was actually pretty funny ("this'll be a PR disaster" lol), actually most of the comedy in this episode is decent.

But also the story really wasn't that interesting, Jack has a considerable absence of flair even compared to Fugitive of the Judoon (though he was written by Davies in that episode which probably explains it, he's a hollow shell of his former self here), the resolution happened too quickly like in Can You Hear Me, and there were a few times where the daleks were really slow to open fire for no reason other than plot convenience.

I'm also bothered that the PM just got abandoned by the story after the resolution (surely she should've been shown giving another speech or something after the drones she proudly dispensed murdered innocent civilians?) as they essentially just switched focus to the companions immediately, which, by the way, is a departure that I find hard to care about even though Graham is the only bearable recurring character in the Chibs era. I'm honestly happy that Ryan is gone as he was an empty hollow shell of a character, unfortunately Yaz really isn't much better so the inevitable romance between her and the Doctor next series is going to be like a painfully underwritten romcom.

Overall, a very boring episode with just a few major offences that made me bring the rating down to a 4. Not terrible for a Chibs episode but not that interesting.

Kingdom (2019–2020)

I love this show, but it is brought down from being a 10 by a glaring flaw

[9/10 · 24 July 2020]

I am very stuck as to whether I want to give this an 8 or 9. In terms of pure enjoyment this thing is easily a 10, I started it one evening then ended up finishing it the next evening because it was just so goddamn engaging. The music is incredible, the costume design is incredible, the cinematography is incredible, the action is exciting, the story is gripping. There's the odd goof and 'why did they put that in?' moment that keeps it from being perfect but I would still give it an easy 9.

So what is this massive flaw that makes my 9 so shaky?

Time skipping.

This show has a bad habit of changing the lighting drastically within short spaces of time. It doesn't make an attempt to make us believe that the characters have been staying in that one place for hours, they have no reason to, they just fast forward the day cycles. This is less of a problem in season 2 thanks to a revelation about the infected at the end of season 1 but still happens at least once.

However, if you are ready to deal with this issue and are also up for a LOT of violence (I think this show is more violent than Game of Thrones all things considered), this is an absolutely exhilarating ride.

Warrior (2011)

Oh my god

[9/10 · 11 January 2020]

I'm hard to break when it comes to emotions. I've seen a lot of the best emotional films. Schindler's List, Forrest Gump, Grave of the Fireflies, Requiem for a Dream, The Green Mile, It's a Wonderful Life, and most recently I Lost my Body. But this is the one that finally cracked me, and for the first time in my life, I've cried to a movie. I don't even like sports, but the sheer intensity and stress I felt in the fight scenes is overwhelming.

Dear god this is a masterpiece.

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker (2019)

Definitely the weakest of the new trilogy

[2/10 · 20 December 2019]

Here we have a film I would place 7th in a 9 film race, with only the first two prequels below it. While not an excessive anticlimax, nothing felt up to par with what Abrams should have been able to pull of. Even if you excuse the damage repair from episode 8, this thing is very flawed and while it should feel like an event, it just feels like any other film, comparable to Godzilla: King if the Monsters in more ways than one. It's absolutely littered with clichés, including but not limited to: 'finding yourself', huge character change of heart for story purposes, overcoming a seemingly indestructible villain with simple means, conveniently placed item that is important to the plot that is just there because you couldn't get it before, and possibly the biggest deus ex machina I've ever witnessed. The ending is also really depressing for Rey because of a thing that happens that doesn't get explained and thus makes no sense. And the action sequences are rather bland. Even episode 8 added something interesting to the fights and did a half decent job with them. This film went to the Marvel school of one side or the other always having the upper hand. I really didn't get much out of this it was just 'oh yeah, that happened and now the trilogy has ended. I barely care at all.' Maybe worth a watch just to wrap everything up, but seriously this is not a strong end.

The Trap Door (1984–1986)

The source of my childhood nightmares

[7/10 · 29 October 2019]

There's not a lot to say. It's well animated, sometimes rather funny, creative, and memorable. But damn, it is the scariest stuff my child self ever saw. It even has jumpscares!

Stranger Things: Chapter Eight: The Battle of Starcourt (2019) Season 3, Episode 8

For God's sake, just explain what the hell they are doing!

[8 July 2019]

This season finale would have been pretty much perfect if it weren't for the fact that throughout the season they forgot to explain what the Russians even want with the upside-down. Why are they opening the gate? I would love to know, but for whatever reason the writers decided that one of the most important plot points for the story was completely expendable. Shame on you, Duffers. I also hate the fact that they teased Hopper still being alive in the post-credits scene. To say the least, if they decided to bring him back, I would rage quit. Other than that, a great finale, pretty much entirely due to Hopper's death, hence why I would be so enraged if they undid it.

The Reef (2006)

I can't believe I liked this garbage as a kid

[1/10 · 3 July 2019]

Nothing even needs to be said. Just look at the cover. This is a trash Finding Nemo ripoff that is completely forgettable.

Roma (2018)

Insanely boring

[4/10 · 9 June 2019]

If you are expecting what I was expecting, a thought-provoking, violent and realistic look at the horrors of 1970s Mexican crime, you can lose all hope getting through this. I myself barely managed to make it to the end, and there were only two scenes which interested me at all, one involving a fire and another involving a raid and a failed birth. The other two hours are mainly just a family doing family things and talking about family issues.

Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)

A fantastic experience and all that the fans could ask for

[6/10 · 1 June 2019]

Like the last Godzilla, there are two sides to this film: the human side, and the monster side (or 'titan' side, it is kind of annoying that they aren't kaijus). It focuses heavily on the monster fights and everything to do with the monsters from which it hugely benefits, and while the CGI can look a little rough in some shots and camera angles, I can safely say that the monster design is absolutely stunning, especially for Mothra, who I really whish existed. The monster fights are also very well choreographed, because there often isn't that much you can do with creatures of that size, and in that regard the film foes a good job of coming up with new ways to be awesome, but as expected, they do eventually run out of ideas a bit. The presence of so many enemies does detract from the experience a bit, as only King Ghidorah really feels threatening at all. Milly Bobby Brown does a decent job as Madison and manages to deliver a few rather cheesy lines with confidence, however the rest of the actors do an extremely sub-par job. As an experience, this is great, but as a movie, it's a piece of blockbuster garbage, so if you are any way bothered by the quality of filmmaking, it may detract from the enjoyment a little. The film is absolutely riddled with close calls, cliches and deus ex machinas (mainly from Godzilla himself), and it relies so heavily on them that eventually it stops making sense in places. Emma seems to be motivated by the death of Cranston's character in the previous film, and I fail to see a connection between rebooting the entire Earth and the loss of a family member; it's a bit crazy for such an event to want you to risk the destruction of the human race. Worse yet is that she leaves herself behind at the end of the movie to lure the monsters away from the rest of the protagonists that were flying away, when theoretically they could have flown over the desired location, turned it on and chucked it out to save Madison almost becoming an orphan. The military are nearly as annoying in this film as they are portrayed in South Park occassionally, as I don't know what insane person would detonate and oxygen depletion bomb where Godzilla and Ghidorah are fighting without considering that they may have unseen abilities that make it a worthless effort; and what do you know, the bad one does! This then acts as a convenient plot point for the need to blow up a nuke to wake Godzilla back up later in the film, which is then itself a convenient plot turn in order for Ghidorah to be defeated by Godzilla's energy overload and subsequent radiation bursts. Long story short: only watch if you are certain that you don't mind a bad plot and a bad selection of characters.

Gravity (2013)

First 10 minutes is phenomenal, can't say much about the rest

[6/10 · 2 December 2018]

This movie opens with a continuously shot scene which is amazingly choreographed and extremely immersive. The clash of dialogue and gradually building music are very well made elements and by the time the debris hits, for the third time ever I actually have butterflies from movie tension. This scene is so well made and tense that if the rest of the movie had been as good, I probably would have said it was one of the best sci-fi movies to date.

However, the rest of the film plays out like your average Day After Tomorrow disaster film, mainly consisting of Sandra Bullock failing to grab onto things and getting unrealistically lucky the whole time. In some ways the story feels well written in the way that new complications keep arising, in others it just feels like the writers are pulling every single possible complication out of their heads to extend this to feature length.

There is also a scene where a character who died in the beginning comes back in a vision that Dr. Stone has. Not only is this uninventive, but because neither the audience nor Stone actually got attached to this character, it means that she is just hoping for something to save herself, which makes her really unlikable.

And a lot of the scenes attempt to heighten tension just by making Stone not be able to do something that should be easy. Heck, she nearly drowns right at the end just because she was being slow to get out. And somewhere or other, there are some scientific inaccuracies to complain about.

That said, this is still the best disaster movie ever made. That's not saying much, but it does better. So if you're a fan of the genre, watch this.

The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014)

I'm in love with this. Thank you Anderson.

[9/10 · 24 October 2018]

I've ben a big fan of Fantastic Mr Fox since the year it came out, at which point I was only 6 years old. I saw in it a fast, quirky and symbolic tale whose pacing and speed of comedy is what made it so great to me. Besides, I loved the animation style and the way it completely subverted how other films are crafted. This was the first point in which I understood Wes Anderson.

Last year, the trailer for Isle of Dogs dropped, and my excitement sprang up. Even the trailer showed that it still had the same quirky style. When I watched the movie, I will admit that I didn't think it was quite as good, as some of the comedy was swapped for some rather dark stuff, but heck, it was still a very fun movie.

Cut to a couple of days ago, where I discover that this had been put on Netflix. I'd never really heard about it before, recognising the title but knowing nothing of what it was about. So I immediately dove in blind.

I will admit that it does drag a bit at first, because everything happens so fast that the first half hour contains a whole hour of material. It fixes the pacing a little later on however, and I could finally settle down. First things first: this movie is fantastically unique. Despite the fact that it is live action, it still manages to add in the half drama, half comedy antics that were present in the animated flicks, with the addition of some brilliantly crafted music which feels suited to the era it is set in and somewhat Pink Panther-esque. This allows even the darkest bits of the movie to be funny, and some of the things that the characters do and say is in the area of comedy gold.

I did not expect so many things to happen in the space of 100 minutes, but it is so jam packed full of fast walking, dialogue gags and side shots that despite the bad pacing, I couldn't stop enjoying myself. Not to mention I flat out had to pause it laughing when one character got his fingers chopped off by a metal door. This is why this film is such a great description of the masterful way Wes Anderson can blend together two totally opposite genres and fuse them in a way nobody else can. This is undoubtably one of the funniest films I have ever seen. Definitely worth a watch.

Before I Fall (2017)

Garbage film with no originality and nothing really redeeming

[4/10 · 24 August 2018]

It's been a year since I saw this, so there is not going to be many points that I can remember. But I'm doing this anyway. From what I remember, almost none of this movie even tries to do something new. The concept is stolen from groundhog day, and has been placed in the setting of an American high school, complete with generic, likely unrealistic popular girls with no substance, as well as a couple of geeks portrayed as having no friends, even though they look like they should have more friends than the popular ones. These characters are so forgettable that I only remember 4 characters: the main character, the 'blonde b**ch' (who I only remember due to how annoying she is), the nerdy girl and the geeky boy. Oh, and maybe the main character's boyfriend. This film is also really confusing. In one scene the main character and her boyfriend begin to have sex, and then after her boyfriend exclaims 'I love you' she walks out of the room crying, complete with some bad acting and a terrible scene transition, and I never understood why. The ending also makes no sense at all, to the point where even after watching an 'ending explained' video I still had no idea what on Earth was going on. The girl wakes up and says that for the first time, she's not afraid. She then helps everyone in her life be happy, then steps in front of a truck and kills herself she then looks at her dead body as a ghost, as the nerdy girl cries beside it, and says 'you set me free' in direct address to the nerdy girl. Never have I ever cried out 'WHAT!? WHY!? UH!?' at a movie out loud. This poor quality is the only reason I remember this exists. Also, it's a teen movie. Why is it rated 12? Why? That limits the swears they can say, and therefore takes away from the realism. Trust me - I'm 15. And to be honest, this seems to have no particular audience, considering it has a setting in high school, but a quality low enough so that only 12 year olds may enjoy it, despite it's inaccurate portrayals. Don't waste your time watching this.

Loving Vincent (2017)

A unique blend of aesthetic and cinematic art

[8/10 · 16 August 2018]

Loving Vincent is a beautiful portrayal of Vincent Van Gogh's last days as an artist, told through the eyes of many characters who are talked to by someone desperate to find out what went wrong. This film's artistry cannot be underestimated, and the artists' love for Van Gogh shines throughout. It's unbelievable how over 100 artists came together to hand paint this film, having to do 65,000 frames in total. Their dedication to this isn't even the only thing that shows their love for the artist, for they did every frame in his style and incorporated many of his most famous paintings into various scenes. What's not to love?

The cinematography isn't as good, honestly, due to primarily the fact that the entire story is told in flashbacks. I do not blame them for that, as introducing a character by flashback originally is greater than telling the story in the present, it just feels a bit like waking life as new characters are introduced all the time, who then proceed to all talk about Vincent, and it gets a little repetitive. I do, however, appreciate how well they weaved each character spoken to into the flashbacks, so that some of them that are seen while being talked about are not talked to 'till later. The title is referenced quite a few times, with a couple of sadder moments being driven by Vincent's own character actually talking without any overlay narration. The centre character looking into Vincent's death is actually quite intriguing, with a voice, a look and occasionally actions similar to those of an alcoholic, but with a softer side. In fact, many more characters are clever, including a doctor who is obviously mad.

This is a cinema staple, and a work of art that you can't miss.

Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)

The low end of a Marvel movie

[6/10 · 11 August 2018]

This only just came out in the UK, so well done me for avoiding spoilers around my American friends for a full month. I'm a big Marvel fan, and never seem to be disappointed with what they come out with, maybe except for the lack of actually good action in Spiderman: Homecoming. But this lacks in all 3 fields. The way I see Marvel movies, they are composed of 3 different areas; comedy, action and critical quality. The best ones are those that excel in at least two of those fields, for example Civil War, which had great action and critical quality due to it's character development and intriguing story, or of course, Infinity War, which smashed all 3 fields (though I still think it is way overrated). This movie was somewhat funny; like Homecoming, it had a side character with lots of wit. But he's not quite up to the same standard and is not half as prominent. The action is barely there, and when it is there it has an oversaturated use of the shrink and grow abilities, which you get bored of and it never attempts to show off any real good had to had combat, like what was in the first movie. Actually, a lot of the comedy feels ripped from Ant Man 1, with a lot of the jokes composing of zooming out the camera to show how pathetic the action looks from a normal person's view. And its critical value is very low. There is little to no character development, and every character feels formed to be completely generic. The sudden change in Ghost's personality at the end is so stupid. The final fight is boring and feels like something that needs a little Deus Ex Machina. And the post-credits scene feels like a forced and confusing way to both explain where Scott was in Infinity War and to leave the internet open to lots of theories. Probably Marvel's lowest point since 2015.

Final Space (2018–2021)

The best show I have ever watched

[8/10 · 23 July 2018]

This show is, in a lot of ways, indescribable. It's a fantastic blend of action and heartbreak, all cleverly blended together with a nice bit of fun, witty comedy. It keeps the comedy at consistently appropriate levels, dropping it a bit towards the end to make way for the character deaths and final sequences. The plot twist with Mooncake and the Lord Commanders' creation is out of nowhere, but still very clever. Gary is very well characterised, with lots of sides to him that means you never really know what he is going to try, and in fact his slow development into a captain-like figure is perfect and really gives the viewer an insight into his mind. Lots of attachments are very well set up to be (predictably, but that doesn't really matter) lost. The story is creative, with twists to keep everything moving, and lots of conceptual ideas that blend current sci-fi tropes with new, innovative technology and phenomena. And if all that doesn't quite suffice to stun you, then the ending will. If this gets a second season, I will not miss it.

Whiplash (2014)

Brilliantly crafted and fantastically brutal

[10/10 · 23 June 2018]

Lets be honest, guys. This is one of those movies where the story sounds lame, but the movie... well, we can just say it speaks for itself.

I'll be honest, when I pressed play on this, I had absolutely no idea what I was walking into; I was just willing to try it. The intro drumming began, the first shot of Andrew with the camera slowly moving down a corridor came to... I was hooked. This movie does not suffer because of the lack of atmosphere at all; it doesn't need music. In fact, it utilises the jazz music that the movie is based around to provide the atmosphere, which may be one of the cleverest techniques I've seen; it helps to engage in the film far quicker than you may usually do, similar to the music at the start of 2001: A Space Odyssey. In fact, Whiplash is incredible looking at it from a critical perspective; the way the title is interweaved with the movie's theme, the music, the acting, the direction, the dialogue; everything. I could write a 10 page essay on how good this movie is and why.

Fletcher's character is ingenious, probably the most well developed, intruiging movie character I've ever encountered. His character creates all these senses of fascination, but with a brutal deliverance that allows those emotions to be mixed with an element of fear. Trust me, you won't soon find another one like him. His dialogue is so clever, made to feel like nothing and everything is due to happen in the moments that follow the one you are engaged in. The huge amount of swearing only serves to add character; and in fact, Fletcher is so well crafted, you can almost feel the way Andrew changes throughout the film as he gradually loses his humility and nearly all his positivity, in multiple scenes drumming so intensely that he makes his hands bleed, then plasters them up and continues drumming.

The story... wow, the story is good. It's absolutely relentless with its harsh telling, with shouting, swearing and equipment being thrown at people's heads at every twist and turn. In fact, it offers the whole package; determination, completely unpredicted twists, one of the most brilliant character motive stories in the form if Fletcher's explanation, even an out-of-nowhere shocking moment. And yet everything is cleverly integrated, along with the music, to make you feel a part of the whole traumatic experience.

To give you an idea of how powerful this movie is, my mind has been flashing back to it's best scenes every day for a month now. Despite how hard it is to watch, struggle on, because you will never critically view a movie the same way again.

Pan's Labyrinth (2006)

Eh

[7/10 · 23 June 2018]

I'll be honest, I didn't get half of what I thought I might me walking into. This is a film that had rather had me in it's grasp ever since I was 10 years old. But having finally watched it... I'm disappointed.

What did I expect? A cleverly devised, well presented storyline unfolding within a labyrinth. What did I get? A film more focussed on the war aspect than the fantasy, with some unimaginative characters, a story that doesn't deliver and the most generic plot I've ever seen.

The labyrinth, while very cool, only takes up 1/6th or less of the movie. Most of it is set in a WWII Spain setting, with a huge lack of fantasy elements. Captain Vidal was truly brilliant, but, just like in The Godfather, his extreme concentration of shocking moments means you get used to the way he acts; and it all eventually just becomes a kind of 'let's get this torture scene over with' approach for the viewer.

Ofelia is, in a lot of ways, rather boring as a character. She seems to be a quite generic 12 year old girl with all the same personality traits that come with one. Her actions sometimes seem to completely contradict how she acts at other points in the movie, most notably during the pale man scene, at which point the things she does are just to drive the story forward in a plain way.

The scene with the frog is boring, uninventive, quite frankly disgusting and doesn't fit in with the dark tone of the rest of the movie.

The story is atrocious; the only good bit about it is the way the ending plays out, which is sort of clever; but if you are good at picking apart stories, you might still find it is nearly as generic as the rest of the plot. So why is the plot so bad? Well, if you've ever come across the plot of 3 tasks, fail one, character storms out, gives main character a second chance then everyone lives happily ever after; that's literally the entire plot summarised.

This film is not half of what I hoped for and doesn't deserve the rating it has.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)

I'm sensing some patterns amongst the negative reviews...

[10/10 · 18 June 2018]

Take your time to read this; I think you will find it useful.

I watched ROTK while on a day-per-movie marathon of the LOTR trilogy. The only time I had come upon it before was having watched the fellowship at the age of 9; but MY GOD, was it worth going through.

My favourite film before seeing this was The Shawshank Redemption. While I'm not a very critical person, Shawshank was a film in which I could see where it's cinematic excellence comes from. On the other hand, The Godfather was the film I most couldn't understand the love for; it seriously has not aged well, and I think my stance on it is the same as those of the critics who say this film has some serious critical issues.

However, I still don't understand those people who like the first two but dislike this one; there is no doubt that it is the strongest one, even from a critical viewpoint; not a lot really happens in the first one; it follows linearly danger after danger, Balrog after the weird creature in the lake, and yet some people are saying that is the best. ROTK, however, has some epic fight sequences, amazing character development, and the most incredible climax scene I have ever watched.

Those who are wondering about the title of this review: I noticed that most of the negative reviews were about the film being disloyal to the source material. Yes, I understand those peoples' motives and ideas, but I feel it is better to focus on what it is than what you believe it is meant to be. In my opinion the loyalty to the books doesn't affect the quality greatly if at all, and sometimes the changes are for the better, something I can apply to How to Train Your Dragon. However, a few book-to-film changes DOES NOT MEAN YOU SHOULD DEMAIN YOUR RATING DOWN TO A ONE. This is what I have seen many reviews doing, and I just don't see the rationale behind it.

All I can say to to summarise the likability is that it seems split from a critical viewpoint, sometimes good, sometimes bad; but for a simple moviegoer who is not too bothered about book-to-film changes, this is the cinematic masterpiece it deserves to be called.

Interstellar (2014)

Well then

[9/10 · 22 May 2018]

I love this film. The story is fantastic and touching, the suspense is brilliant, the visuals and sound are amazing, the characters are incredible and it's just generally mind blowing and amazing. The only complaint I have to mention is that it takes science in its hands and completely throws it out the window., but the bits that are scientifically plausible are as a result absolutely insane. Very much worth the watch.

The Trap Door (1984–1986)

wow wow wow

[7/10 · 7 May 2018]

This is an amazing series. I grew up (and still am growing up) watching this. Its a little dark, but the great thing is the dark side goes over small children's heads, but the older you get, ythe more you see and understand. Great humor,a lot of work put into it and all round amazing... 10/10

Coco (I) (2017)

Pixar has created a masterpiece of cinema

[9/10 · 3 May 2018]

I'm no critic, but Coco is close to movie perfection. It definitely deserved the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, no doubt, and is by far the best animated movie ever created. The visuals are stunning, the characters are fantastic, the twist is somewhat predictable but still great, and the story is so touching. This is the best film I have ever seen, over Shawshank, over The Godfather, over The Matrix; this film is a godlike creation from the very, very best of cinema. Do not be fooled by the haters who say it is a poor portrayal of a tradition; the tradition is likely far more beautiful in Coco than in real life. Fantastic, I am blown away.
