Good Omens (2019)
Bloody Brilliant !!
Good Omens has to be one of the best things to have happened to TV for a long, long time ! I've never reviewed series or seasons before, but am making a happy exception to applaud a superb piece of craftsmanship !! Based on Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett's book with the same name, Good Omens stars the wickedly likeable and brilliant David Tennant and Michael Sheen as the demon Crowley and angel Aziraphale respectively. The ensemble cast is superb with John Hamm's Gabriel an absolute standout ! Frances McDormand as the voice of God could not have been better chosen ! It was either her or Meryl Streep IMHO ! The ebbs and flows to the six part miniseries are brilliantly displayed. Well done Amazon Prime ! The series is a perfect mix of dark humor, a bit of mythology / history and loads of fun ! Full marks to the creators and the actors ! The Church's recent censure against this series will only add to it's popularity ! 10/10 !!
Alita: Battle Angel (2019)
Worth so much more than the hype !
I went into the movie with zero expectations despite an intriguing trailer. The motion capture star of the movie is mesmeric and Chris Waltz as usual puts in a winning performance as Dr. Ido. Alita shines in the superbly choreographed action sequences! Despite a slightly predictable story arc, the humanity of the characters shines through ! Must watch for action lovers !
Cougar Hunting (2011)
Tasteless, Soulless, utter waster of time
I genuinely used to believe that every movie however badly made, deserves at least one view, as it has involved a lot of hard work by at least a few people. There are of course scores of movies that refute this statement. Cougar Hunting sails to the top of this pile, through the complete lack of a plausible story, sorry acting and absolutely nothing to write home about. In a train wreck of an attempt to join the American Pie / Eurotrip style of movie making, this flick is a perfect example of how not to make movies. None of the jokes are even remotely funny, toilet humor this isn't - its a new level of tasteless...the characters portrayed by the so called actors, clearly tells you that that some people do not watch their own movies. Brainless, tasteless, classless...An utter waste of time. Please do not attempt to come within a mile of this sorry excuse for a movie...
