How It Ends (2018)

Devastatingly disappointing ending.

[3/10 · 10 April 2022]

A moderately interesting movie but then we get to the end and...it just ends, that's how it ends. Made me regret the time I invested. I wonder did they simply run out of money or are they planning a sequel and seriously believe that anyone would be silly enough to put themselves through that again.

V for Vendetta (2005)

I love this more every time I watch it. Absolutely brilliant.

[10/10 · 7 January 2022]

Others have reviewed this movie more ably than I could but the brilliance of Hugo Weaving who conveyed so much emotion and meaning with just his voice and body language.

No Time to Die (2021)

Hugely disappointing

[3/10 · 18 November 2021]

As an avid fan of the Danial Craig James Bond, I was terribly disappointed I almost every aspect of this much awaited movie.

No Time to Die was the least believable of the franchise, more like a recent Fast and Furious movie. The villain was underwhelming, the plot ridiculous, the dialogue trite, the ending contrived and saccharine.

A complete and utter let down.

The Godfather Part III (1990)

Sophia Coppola - oh dear

[6/10 · 17 September 2021]

Sophia Coppola delivers the most wooden, expressionless performance I have ever seen. She is absolutely devoid of talent. I am sure that the fact that her father is the director had nothing to do with it.

Notting Hill (1999)

Any movie that can make me smile, laugh and cry at the same time is a winner

[9/10 · 8 April 2021]

It is written by Richard Curtis of Black Adder fame and it stars some of the most likable and engaging actors you could hope for.

Watch it. You will not be disappointed.

The Princess Bride (1987)

Superb

[10/10 · 30 March 2021]

No other movie that I have seen in my 63 years is more enjoyable than The Princess Bride. I have watched it perhaps a dozen times over the years and still enjoy it every time. I still tear up at Peter Falks final line of the movie.

Land (I) (2021)

The older you are the more you will love this.

[7/10 · 5 March 2021]

Some of the reviews of this movie complain of the slow pace and it is in fact slow. But as we get older we are not in such a rush to get to the end, don't need a breakneck pace to satisfy. We can often see ourselves in this sort of film and have some experience of loss. I very much enjoyed this.

Spontaneous (II) (2020)

Surprisingly good

[6/10 · 31 January 2021]

An unexpected concept and kept me interested all the way through. Spoiled at the end by the gratuitous shot at President Trump. No reason except...Hollywood. I am sick of it.

Apple Seed (2019)

A touching, engaging and uplifting story

[9/10 · 4 August 2020]

Rance Howard was the standout in this movie and I enjoyed every minute of it. I cried and laughed at the end. Highlights some of the loveliest locations in the USA. Probably older people like me will value this much more highly than younger people.

Aquaman (2018)

Could have used a ruthless editor.

[4/10 · 17 March 2019]

Jason Momoa was impressive. The storyline was straight out childish. I love Superman and Wonder Woman yet it stretched the bounds of credulity that this massive technological civilization could exist, unknown to the rest of humanity. It was more animated than live action. Not even a patch on Wonder Woman. I was very disappointed.

After Life (2019–2022)

Captivating

[10/10 · 11 March 2019]

I loved this. It is very Gervais, funny, rude, sad, irreverent, self deprecating and a joy to watch. I laughed and I cried and that is a tough combination to beat.
