Sally4Ever (2018)
Get a grip! Hilarious comedy at its darkest
I really don't understand why people are getting upset by this series. If they don't know what Julia Davis is all about then they should do some research first and stick to their linear comedies and soaps.
This is a portrayal of a woman's midlife crisis going horribly wrong but in a hilarious fashion. Julia always likes to go way beyond the boundaries and that is what black comedies are all about. Julia does it so well and really you need to just accept the dark and shocking humour or just don't watch it if you are easily offended. It's as simple as that!
I thought it was brilliant. Julia Davis is back with a bang and even more shocking! Much to the pleasure or displeasure of many regular Sky viewers newly drawn into Julia Davis' absurd world.
Age of Ice (2014)
It looked good on the cover... So bad it's good!!!
This is one of those rare opportunities that i'm faced with watching a really bad movie that somehow keeps me glued throughout. You enjoy it because it is hilariously bad! The director of this movie, who has come from a visual supervising background, i'm not sure if they were joking with the visual effects in this movie? It sure looks like it. The CGI.. I mean, wow!
A couple of things I really found funny:
1. The CGI of the people (or dots) sliding down the side of a pyramid and quickly standing up, unscathed and completely dry.
2. The car crashing and flipping over in slow motion, showing the passengers floating like some kind of space movie.. and then cutting to CGI cars which looked like they were made for a PS1 game.
3. The abseiling down the side of a mountain, which is dry on close up then snowy on the long shot. Then the car falling off the mountain killing two people.. The family then walks off not bothered about what happened, even though they were saved by them.
4.The dam cracking and the family quickly teleporting up the hill out of danger, whilst the probability of a dam exploding with the amount of water would easily kill everyone instantly? surely?
5. The sliding down a watery cave to safety and a happy ending for the surviving family. Oh wait a minute, they are in dry clothes (again).. weren't they just submerged in water a second ago?
What an annoying movie which you would think would be good in concept, I mean with all the earthquakes and global warming etc. Looking at the cover led me to believe this was going to be a good disaster movie but it's just plain awful, the plot, the CGI, the crappy acting, the predictability and mostly odd moments like the guy joking to cut open the camels to keep warm like Empire Strikes Back.
Amazingly BAD, it gave me a laugh though.
