World on Fire (2019)
Incredibly insulting, PC revisionist waste of time
Who ever conceived this should never be allowed to think up a plot or write a story ever again but who ever allowed this to be commissioned for public viewing??? I hope they're sitting down somewhere holding their head in shame after being fired for wasting money/time/peoples patience etc etc!! So inaccurate, so disrespectful to the people of the time, they are not called the greatest generation for nothing!! Rant over, do not bother watching this load of tosh!
SEAL Team: Backwards in High Heels (2019)
Why oh why??
Liked this show but this episode has really put me off. I am a Brit & a fan of America & its great people but I am also acutely aware of the heritage of the SAS & therefore was horrified by the way this episode showed that British special forces were in no way up to the standard of the Navy Seals, the SAS developed the techniques & literally wrote the book on hostage rescue!! Most reviews on here echo the same sentiment, the writers did not need to show the SAS in a poor light just to make Seals look better, very lazy writing. Try harder next time!!
The Orville (2017)
Why oh why do kids have to be in this show???
Is this show aimed at adults or kids?? I thought it was for adults but the 2 kids that belong to the Dr are involved way too much & once again, like too many shows these days "the kids save the day" its a trend I do not like, fine if its a show for teens or children but come on, if its for "grown ups" then please man up & treat us to storylines specifically for adults that do not involve any kids at all. Maybe I'm wrong & this is a kids show, shame.
True Detective (2014)
Season 3, impossible to stay awake....
Season 1 was fantastic, season 2 was okay but season 3 is just the same episode shown every week, literally no progression of story, it is so painfully slow with endless mumbling, I can't imagine what they were thinking, clearly a case of style over content. I strongly urge you to get involved with another show, this one does not deserve your precious time
Kingdom (2019)
Do not miss!!!
If you're a fan of a great story, great acting, amazing landscapes & colour and zombies....what??? Then this is definitely for you! Cant remember the last time a show (probably GOT) got me this hooked this quickly. With only 6 shows in the season & a cliffhanger ending, season 2 needs to come ASAP.
The ABC Murders (2018)
Loved it!!
Did not know original material, not much of an Agatha Christie fan but the trailer looked good & I'm a big John Malkovich fan, I was not disappointed, he for me owned the role, no silly moustaches just a great portrayal of a famous fictional detective, would definitely recommend!!
A Quiet Place (2018)
Wam bam, thank you John Krasinski!!!!
A fantastic premise, a brilliant story, especially as this is John Krasinski's first outing as a writer/director. Definitely a must see, can't remember the last time I was on the edge of my seat for almost the entire movie, all the cast were outstanding, Emily Blunt is always a joy to watch. My nerves are well and truly shredded, go see it at once!!!!
Legion (2017)
Get on with it.......pretentious, contrived drivel!!!
Ugh, this show tests my patience, just how many times can you get away with a dream sequence?? I enjoy a thought provoking show but this is so far up its own backside it must have come out of its own nostrils by now.
Obviously this one is not for me & unless you enjoy a story that never really gets to the point then I suggest you avoid too!
Close to the Enemy (2016)
How did this get script approval? & the diabolical acting???
I have just watched the final episode in the vague hope that the story would make up for the terrible script & just about the most wooden male lead I have ever seen! Unfortunately it did not! If this is the best the BBC can currently produce given their excellent track record as far as drama is concerned, then I think its time they took a break.
I have written a handful of reviews on IMDb over the years & write this one as a warning to others, avoid this utter trash!
Oh and just one other mention in addition to Jim Sturgess (wooden lead, strange accent) if there was an Oscar for most annoying, badly played character, it would have to go to Freddie (what the hell were you thinking) Highmore, I suggest he goes back to Bates Motel where he belongs.
Shutter Island (2010)
Not a good movie!
Just seen this movie about 2 hours ago and was so disappointed by the whole thing I just had to sit down and write my 1st review on this site!The trailer promised much but the movie delivered little, the convoluted plot hid behind many many dream sequences, never a good plot device!I expected more from this director but maybe its not his fault, I think that the main problem is the ridiculous story is just plain silly, there were 4 in our party and we all guessed the end, don't worry no spoilers! Suffice to say I did not like this film, I will not continue to tell you the plot as many others have already done so, I would just tell you not to waste your hard earned cash, trust me, if you see it, you will not want to see it again and that is not a sign of a entertaining movie experience!!
