Road House (2024)
One star for Jakes abs
This film is so, so bad.
I can't imagine everyone doing the final cuts of the film, sitting back and going 'Yeah! We've done it! We've got a hit on our hands'.
The acting is so hammy. It really is hard to put in to words how bad it actually is...
Just silly, crappy, badly acted, full of coincidences and clichés, badly acted (deserves to be said twice). The romantic storyline is - wait for it - utterly, trite and just crap.
Connor MG at least went to the same acting school as all the other cast so fits right in.
But Jake? Jake? He must have lost a pretty bad poker hand to end up in this. One star for his abs.
This review is better than this film deserves. Give it a massive swerve.
Why Women Kill (2019)
Score for SEASON 1
Score for Season One only...
I'm not sure why these 2 shows are grouped together. The first season was so good, I tore through it! The fashion, the style, cast. It was brilliant. As soon as I'd finished it I bought the second season.
The second season is not even comparable. It's a completely different show. If it had another name, I wouldn't have paid it any attention. Shame because I really like both leads - in other stuff they've done....
Just a bit hammy, overacted, crappy plot. Just generally a bit, blah. I got a couple of episodes left and I might get round to watching them. Or not. Whatever.
The Deceived (2020)
Rebecca?
I'm on episode 1 and am already struggling.... I actually had to check online to see if this is a homage to Rebecca. The fire, creepy house, simple girl, Mary (Mrs Danvers), a pregnancy, husband who clearly hated his dead wife, even the dead wife's name begins with R - insignias all over the place! It's actually almost funny. Every time he says Roisin I say Rebecca in my head. I'm gonna stick with it just to see if there are any more similarities, maybe the wife didn't die in the fire, she actually drowned instead. Main female character seems pretty wooden.
Upside - the main guy is very easy on the eye!
Free Guy (2021)
Weak...and I like Ryan Reynolds & Jodie Comer
Imagine the Lego movie and the Truman show had a baby. And the baby is bad.
This movie is that baby.
Love (2016)
Oddly intriguing.
I watched it to the end, but I don't know why... Found Gus incredibly irritating. Secondary characters are better, but all seem to be gurning. Weird.
The One (2021)
OK to have in the background while you're putting the washing away...
I'm on episode 3...Great concept. Badly acted. Main character is like a wooden Disney villain. It's OK, but I wouldn't rush out to tell my friends to watch it.
Song of the Sea (2014)
Perfect in every way
Magical and moving. Good for the soul. Had me my husband and my two children mesmerised from the start. It made me want to be in the sea. Absolutely beautiful.
The Mandalorian (2019)
A return to Star Wars
Made me want to start a campaign to have all the prequels remade with these writers and directors at the helm. So true to the original Star Wars feel. The first season (and the last episode of season 2) especially is magic, it was like watching A New Hope all over again. After you've watched this I recommend watching The Gallery mini series which talks to the directors and explains the making of. Makes you love it even more.

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
So much wrong...
It's difficult to know where to start...
Ewan Mcgregor. Let's start with him. He's awful. The kids who plays Anakin is awful. Jana Binks - awful. Blue screen makes it look like a computer game, awful. Darth Maul only in it to sell merch plus he's awful. Awful film. Awful.
Baby Driver (2017)
Stupid film
Unconvincing characters. Storyline poor. Boring. Silly. Don't bother. Points given for soundtrack alone.
