The Rookie (2018)
The rookie incredibly entertaining
I should state that I've only seen season one of the show so far but I'm throughly impressed.
The show gives us a wide variety of characters each of them as likeable as the other, the first season has done a really good job at showing us the day to day life if being a cop and the things they get up to.
There have a been a few stand out episodes especially episode 8 which was really Impactful seeing how Nolan reacted and procedure to a shooting.
The action scenes are really well shot and the bodycam footage makes the show a little different to other cop shows.
Nathan Fillion is definitely the stand out.
The Retaliators (2021)
A lot of promise will absolutely no promises kept
The most excited I had been for a movie in a long time and good god what a let down this utter crap was.
I was promised a new age rock soundtrack with lots of blood and gore with a solid revenge story
What we were given was this turd. Like two decent songs, a main character who didn't even get revenge for his daughter and kills that weren't even worth watching.
This movie had the most promise to be something special and ended up being another run of the mill "gorefest" with no gore, no character and no enjoyment.
The worst film I've put myself through watching for a long time.
If your gonna make a gory film with rock music please do it properly don't make this utter crap.
Summer of 84 (2018)
A promising opening hour than turns sour in the final act
This movies opening hour is really enjoyable. Some solid acting a great build up in suspense and making you really care about the characters.
Then the last 20 minutes just takes a nose dive in quality. The killer gets away and one of the main four is killed in an absolute wasteful way. They also decide to just write out two of the main characters for the last act.
The love story between the main lead and the girl wasn't given enough spotlight and was cut way to short
The ending turned what was going to be a 10/10 movie for me into nothing more than a three.
The movie left me genuinely angry i had invested so much time into the story and characters.
Detachment (2011)
Perfect in every way
This is a movie that will literally stay with you. Brody is absolutely incredible his performance is nothing short of riveting. Watching it almost feels like a pipe dream you enter a completely different state of mind.
The acting is all top tier with even the lesser known actors shining through a star point is Meredith who carries the screen in every scene she's a part of.
The background dialogue from Brody is always Fantastic and really leaves you thinking about the questions being asked about us as people and the school system.
If I could rank this movie any higher I would I consider this to be one of the best movies to have ever been released.
Scream VI (2023)
Best since the original
Scream Vi was absolutely incredible. I was someone who strongly disliked scream(2022) but this movie was incredible probably the best entry in the franchise since the original! Fantastic kills, great execution and it was great to see Courtney Cox in a small role and all the references to previous entries to the franchise were amazing. I've fell in love with the franchise all over again! I would implore anyone who is a fan of the franchise to see this entry. The killer reveal isn't for everyone but I thought it was very clever and probably the best one since the original and scream 2 killer reveals.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012)
A beautifully depressing piece of art
This movie is absolutely haunting, a brilliant cast of well known stars and smaller stars come together to deliver something truly unique in a world full of teen dramas.
The main three leads carry this movie of there backs with a hauntingly beautiful performance by Logan Lerman. This is unlike anything I have ever watched my heart immediately got attached to his character and his story.
The soundtrack with the inclusion of the smiths made for a brilliant listen and the soundtrack alone has to be appreciated.
This film just made me feel a certain way I don't think any other viewing experiences have ever made me feel.
Truly a 10/10 movie but please go into this movie fully invested as it the emotional rollercoaster you never knew you needed!
