The Rig (2023)
Sadly v poor
Poor cgi. The lighting of outdoor scenes was plainly awful and unreal looking
Combine that with when things simple to do were missed like a person standing on a helipad at the top of an oil platform with a sound track of a howling gale and they don't have a single hair on their moving or a piece of their clothing flapping all added up to looking fake.
Not to mention the female boss walking round everywhere in a pristine white blouse that never got grubby, on a working platform.
Reminded me of the straight to video stuff you see on ch5 in mid afternoon. Pity as there were some good actors in the cast.
Island of Terror (1966)
Great nostalgia
Love this film but it contains one of the most ridiculous Monsters in the history of scifi/horror, (basically a massive fried egg moving at 1 mph.)
It does lead to some comic moments like when the car wont start so our hero gets out to fix the engine with the creatures moving towards him from about 30 yrd away and his assistant saying "Hurry please hurry"
All I could hear in my head was the internet meme of the French voice ...

The Dig (2021)
Excellent
Excellent movie with great performances and score. It is one of those movies that I find stays with you for days after seeing it.
Journey to the Unknown (1968)
Why isn't this available on DVD?
When you see some of the dross that is available on DVD/Blu-ray you have to ask why this brilliant series isn't.
The Duchess (2020)
The sum of less than its total
I enjoy KR on panel shows so thought this would be ok but it is soooo poor.
Its like she's playing a much weaker version of Diane Morgan's character Liz in Motherland. Check out the school gate scene that is a rip off but nowhere near as good
Whereas Motherland is very funny with a bit of crudity KRs version is Very crude with a little bit of funny (just)
Shame,
