Daisy Jones & The Six (2023)

So ?

[4/10 · 12 March 2023]

I was looking forward to this show .. so disappointed .. apart from the original music in the soundtrack the songs are crap.. yes Riley Keough can sing ... but as Elvis' grandaughter did we really expect she couldn't ??? It's a very boring , drawn out story .. could have been told in 3 or 4 episodes... the acting is not great. I do like the 'look' of the show, reminds me of the 70's and the clothes are great. No idea how its rating 8/10 on here.. rigged somehow ???? I have ceased watching it as it was so boring it was annoying me . Can't say much else , except Riley looks a lot like her Mum. Otherwise boring.

13 Minutes (2021)

Lousy

[2/10 · 26 October 2022]

Oh dear, such promise.. such terrible acting and such a lame story really . I cannot understand why some good actors bothered to be in this at all. Trace Adkins should stick to singing , his acting is crap... he is terrible in the also very terrible Monarch . Why do you require so many characters for a review .. the movie stinks there isn't much else you can say about it . Lousy script, lousy acting, it went on much much too long . A bit like me trying to write a review that has 600 characters . You guys really need to change this because one sentence would have summed up the whole thing. Thanks .

The First Lady (2022)

Great

[8/10 · 14 June 2022]

I thoroughly enjoyed this series . Not being American I only knew bits and pieces about these women , the show has pushed me to do further research. I loved Gillian Anderson and Michelle Pfieffer in their roles but found Viola Davis ( who I am a fan of) very distracting pursing her lips like that all the time . I have endeavoured to look at footage of Michelle Obama to see how accurate this is .. and not really succeeded. Nevertheless a really good series , well worth the time.

Jurassic World Dominion (2022)

Fun

[7/10 · 11 June 2022]

So it wasn't the best Jurassic movie ( that will always be the original and best) but it was choc full of dinosaurs, some old, some new and the two casts got together .. it was just good fun and I believe they wrapped it up well.

Interceptor (2022)

Good fun

[7/10 · 4 June 2022]

Was this the best movie ever made? No .. Is the lead actress the best lead actress ever ? No ! Am I a Matthew Reilly Fan? Hell yes ! It was a good fun movie with plenty of action and lets face it not many women get to save the world ! So turn off your brain grab a bowl of chips and enjoy !

Moonfall (2022)

Disappointing

[4/10 · 7 May 2022]

I love a great disaster movie, especially one set in space and Roland Emmerich generally can be relied on to supply these but he certainly got it wrong this time . Halle Berry must have had an ironclad contract because she should have been fired for really bad acting in this one .

Outer Range (2022– )

Nothing happens

[4/10 · 30 April 2022]

I was so excited about this show.. so very disappointed. It could have been so good , they have good actors but apparently they spent all the budget on them and forgot to get decent writers... very annoyed.

Vikings: Valhalla (2022– )

Good fun

[7/10 · 26 February 2022]

Historically inaccurate but full of action and good fun anyway. Not as good as Vikings or The Last Kingdom, possibly due to casting. I look forward to the rest of the series.

Station Eleven (2021–2022)

Persevere

[7/10 · 15 January 2022]

I had no idea what to expect from this show, knew nothing about it. I must admit after the first two episodes I wasn't sure I would watch any more of it but I went back to it and so glad I did. It is very timely and very well done once you get your head around it. Well written and well acted. Give it a go.

Dexter: New Blood (2021–2022)

Ok

[7/10 · 10 January 2022]

Well I was excited to see the Dexter of old.. got a little of him but it was a lousy ending . Disappointed much. Jack Alcott did a good job as Harrison, look forward to seeing more of him.

Don't Look Up (2021)

Comedy ???

[3/10 · 24 December 2021]

Supposed to be a comedy.. still waiting for the laughs.. supposed to be thought provoking.. mmm the only thoughts I had were why are all these talented actors making fools of themselves ?? So disappointed , what a waste of time.

Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

No

[5/10 · 23 December 2021]

Stupid movie, but some good monsters in it . Best they give up now .I really can't say much more about it. Good grief, they wont let me be short in my review !

Back to the Outback (2021)

Such fun

[9/10 · 10 December 2021]

As an Australian and as a resident of the Blue Mountains all of my life (64 yrs).. I could pick this to pieces BUT I wont because it was so well done and such fun that I just couldn't help but love it . Pretty sure its one I will watch again to see what I missed. Highly recommended !

Invasion (2021–2024)

Promised so much, gave so little.

[1/10 · 10 December 2021]

I ended up watching the whole series and am sorry I bothered, probably won't bother with the second series. Very annoying characters, very disjointed .. very disappointing .

The Walking Dead: World Beyond (2020–2021)

Not great

[5/10 · 6 December 2021]

Well, The World Beyond limped to a pathetic ending . Almost turned off at the first set of end credits.. watched the rest and ended up more confused than ever. Why they bothered with this part of The Walking Dead universe I do not know. It promised so much and gave so little. Very disappointed in the series .

Red Election (2021– )

Dont bother

[4/10 · 2 December 2021]

Shocking acting, the plot / writing leaves a lot to be desired. Below par in all respects. Don't waste your time. I can't say much more its just not good.

The Beatles: Get Back (2021)

Wow

[10/10 · 28 November 2021]

An absolutely wonderful insight in to the workings of the band , made up of 4 incredibly different , yet alike, musical geniuses. I was enthralled with all 3 episodes ( except maybe when Yoko was screaming in to the microphone). Highly recommended to everyone who loves music.

Land (I) (2021)

A fan.

[8/10 · 10 November 2021]

I stumbled upon this lovely movie today and being a fan of Robin Wright I was intrigued. I thought it was well written and acted and was delighted to see she was also directing .. I later learned it is her directing debut. Beautiful scenery completed the movie . Highly recommended .

Finch (2021)

Wonderful

[9/10 · 5 November 2021]

I loved every minute of this movie . I highly recommend it to everyone ! Thank you to all involved in making it. It even made me like the song American Pie.

Extinction (2018)

Poor writing

[5/10 · 27 October 2021]

I really dont know who wrote this but some of the dialogue is just plain stupid.. you just would not say things like this in this situation AND the kids nearly drove me mad screaming and talking back to the parents .. . Great idea, very poorly executed.

Midnight Mass (2021)

Now I know why I am a lapsed Catholic !

[8/10 · 25 September 2021]

While not my usual fare I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this series...well written and acted, in particular Samantha Sloyan who played the scary Bev Keane, it was very thought provoking to say the least.

Cinderella (I) (2021)

Fun

[10/10 · 3 September 2021]

Loved every minute of it, great singing and dancing even the acting was good . Great fun.

Clickbait (2021)

Intrigue

[9/10 · 28 August 2021]

Just when you think you have worked out who did it, they throw in another red herring.. well written, well acted.. highly recommended.

Why Women Kill (2019–2021)

Both seasons are great.

[9/10 · 13 August 2021]

Absolutely loved season 1 .. started season 2 and wondered why it was so completely different, got to the end and didn't care ! Almost as good as season 1.

Sanctuary (I) (2019)

Really good.

[8/10 · 27 July 2021]

I really enjoyed everything about this series, the acting, writing and the scenery. Not seen anything like this previously.. seriously hope they make a second series.
