Your Honor (2020)
Incredibly annoying and so not believable
This series gave me anxiety when watching it. I don't think I've ever watched something so irritating in all my life. It's like everything that happens in this, just would not happen in real life, there's just no way, the things people do like Cranstons character and incredibly annoyin son, is so not believable and you really begin to wonder how in the hell this got the green light! The writers on this I hope aren't giving themselves a pat on the back because this is as bad as a tv series could be written.
In the last episode it then seemed to dawn on me that literally every male character in this is a moron and stupid, whereas all the women are smart and strong. Maybe there's a bit of truth in this, but there could of been at least one male character that was somewhat smart!
The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020)
A painful watch if your expecting a horror
Whoever gave this the green light on Netflix should be fired. Without question one of the worst series Netflix has released. I'm going to assume that most of the 9 and 10 star reviews, are by people who have been paid to write the review or are somehow associated with the series itself, because there is no way you could rate this that high.
I really liked hill house, but the one thing I hated was the filler episodes where nothing happened and consisted of nothing but boring dialogue. I expected bly manor to follow the same structure, but to my surprise they went one step further and pretty much filled the entire season of filler episodes. It's unbelievable, nothing happens in this show!! The word "Haunting" should be completely removed from the title because there are like 6 or 7 episodes with pretty much nothing happening, except fog... Just watch it and you'll see! Every moment you expect a jump scare... forget about it, it ain't happeing! A seriously painful watch if you're looking for a good scare.
The last two episodes were actually really good, but they are in no way haunting as this is a love story. Had I started watching this expecting a love story then maybe I'd of rated different, but I wasn't, I was looking for a show that would scare the hell out of me. I assume the bulk of the people watching this will expect it to be scary as well considering it's the same creators as Hill house, so they will be dissapointed.
The Young Offenders (2016)
An absolutely hilarious film.
Being from Cork myself, this film ticks all the boxes. There was a lot of talk about it, so going into see it I was feeling it might fall short, as normally films this hyped turn out shite. From the moment this film starts it is just so funny right till the end.
I'm not sure will many people outside of Ireland get the humor, but this is one of the funniest films I've seen in a very long time, as I can relate the two lads to so many people I grew up with and PJ Gallagher was brilliant as the crippled dealer. Some brilliant characters in it and every joke was right on the money. I really do hope we get a sequel!
Emergo (2011)
Awful film
I love a good horror film and particularly the found footage style genre but watched this film last night, and is without a doubt one of the worst I've ever seen. The story was just terrible and really obvious. No imagination to the bits to make you jump, so was a painful time sitting through it.
It was almost embarrassing some of storyline come to think of it. Oscar Wilde once said if something is obvious, it is inartistic and that is exactly what this film is. Didn't even watch the end was so boring so rating it 2 stars and even that is way to high!! Others may like it but for me this was an absolute waste of money to rent.
