Phenomenon (1996)
Wonderful film
This film is wonderful and is one of my all time favourites. It has real heart and is beautifully acted.
There is no overblown action, it's just a well written story that really makes you think about life and that you should embrace everything that matters, whilst you're here.
I also think it deserves more recognition than it recieved and, a higher review score on here but each to their own I suppose.
I'm not going to give any specific plot details, I just think it's a film that you should watch without any prior knowledge so that you can enjoy how it unfolds. That is the beauty of the film after all.
Celebrity Storage Hunters (2015)
Daft and Fun
This is a fun show. It's cheap, it's no frills, it's awkward it's everything you would expect from a celebrity version of a US show remade for the UK. Also it has Vic and Bob and the late great Sean Hughes on it. If you don't take life so seriously, it's actually enjoyable silly fun and no worse than celebrity bargain hunt which is also great fun.
Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet: A Dark Quiet Death (2020)
Writing and acting at its best
A no frills storyline perfectly written and acted. Less really is sometimes more. There is definitely something special about this episode and it's just one of those things that can't be described.
Misfits (2009)
Brilliant show
If you're planning on watching this show based on the comparisons to Heroes then I reckon you're gonna be disappointed.
It's nothing like Heroes which was a big budget, slick,well produced messagey type of show.
Misfits is gritty and about a group of unlikeable working class chavs who are on community service. They're not interested in saving the world, so don't expect that.
Also the powers the characters get are actually a reflection of each persons personality like invisibility because they've always been ignored or mind reading because they're insecure, the few reviews that said the powers were useless and meaningless have clearly not understood the show or watched it properly.
The stand out for me in the show was the mask storyline and the twists and turns that came with it. I think that character got overshadowed because of Nathan's departure. I agree Nathan was brilliant but it made people stop seeing the other original cast for how brilliant they were too.
This is a channel 4 show btw.
Can You Keep a Secret? (2019)
Nice, easy film
I'm sure people just want to be mad and hate everything, this film isn't that bad but you'd think it was the worst thing ever from some of the reviews.
Yes I've read the book, I think it's unfair to compare the two as the book is always going to be better. I've never seen a film that's better than the book
It's quite clearly a romcom so expectations should be far more realistic. And nit picking about the plot.....it's fiction. Just switch off and let it wash over you and enjoy, that's what films are made for.
Si no t'hagués conegut (2018)
Enjoyable and hooks you in over time
I was dubious about watching this show at first but wanted to try something different and a Spanish sci-fi show seemed a good way to do this. Some of the storylines were a little bit frustrating and by this I mean I wish the writers had written more believable reactions to certain scenarios, I felt it lost traction because of it. Like when Eduard was detained for just looking like someone in a theatre.....why though ? Also, they did overuse some of the songs which weren't to my taste but that's just me, I'm sure others may enjoy them. I would have been happy without the English dubbing, the actors deserve to have their voices used
and I think that non Spanish speaking viewers could handle subtitles. All that aside I really enjoyed the show and would definitely recommend it because the idea was a nice twist on the usual time travelling story and I liked the off kilter way it was made.
New Amsterdam (2018)
It's Good
If you want a truly realistic insight into the medical profession then watch a documentary, there are plenty of them about. This is essentially a tv show that is intended to entertain, it does that and it does it well. Story writers need to keep viewers gripped and, to achieve this, storylines will be over the top and not entirely true to life. I don't know why people don't realise this
