No One Will Save You (2023)
Marmite I reckon.
Some will love it. Some will hate it. But few inbetweens I think.
Very thought provoking about the true intensions of aliens and why they might chase us. Really good chase scenes btw.
Special effects were excellent.
Am a big fan of the main actress. She's made some great little films like this since first appearing in bad teacher (in case you were thinking I recognise her).
Overall the story doesn't move on enough for me, especially around the death of her best friend, and ultimately the ending seems like they ran out of money and ideas and just thought.... Watch it and see what you think. But don't say I didn't warn you.
The Flash (2023)
Derry Girl or Super Girl. Either way that's what it should have been called. She's the star!
I'm not sure Affleck actually turned up for the shoot and they used some old footage. The rest is CGI.
The rest of the justice League were like nah man I'm out. But poor wonder woman's 1980's flop meant gal needed a cameo payment. Poor girl.
I mean this isn't a patch on the TV series which covers all these topics with dignity. Especially the zoom series.
Everything marvel does well DC does extremely badly. Only 1 good scene is where you see Henry Cavill with his top off. Feel free to walk out after that like I did. Even the giant IMAX at the Chinese Theatre couldn't stop me walking out. Actually it didn't.
Also what's wrong with Americans? Butter on popcorn is absolutely disgusting. Puke face puking.
If Ezra's actions in real life don't make you hate him then this film definitely will.
Black Widow (2021)
I wish I was a widow to this film
So terrible. The sister is ok but the dad is the worst actor I've ever seen on screen. My eyes hurt watching his terrible overreacting in every scene then my ears hurt with that horrible accent and his stories about his dad taking 'toilet' on him.
Yes seriously that is the most interesting this film gets. Everyone is shocked when the clapped out Russian helicopter falls out of the sky. I'm not we all know Russian tech isn't worth the scrap it normally produces. But that aside could this film could not be more terrible.
Who wrote this? Feels like a 12yr old girl on drugs. Certainly a moody teen-ager anyway with a hatred of anything adult. Not suitable for kids and not suitable for intelligent adults. No more widows. PLEASE.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
Elves storyline good. The rest farcical.
I've not watched it all but it's better than the hobbit films. The elvin back story is interesting and i love the galadrial story line. I've been curious about her since the first film.
The hobbits being Irish is almost insulting. I'm sure the Scottish feel similar about the dwarfs. The dirty scummy humans are them from up north or northerners. And of course the clean rich intelligent elves are middle/upper class English. No steriotyping there.
Lenny Henry is funnier trying to play a serious role than his comedy. Ie he's terrible. Worst thing in the show.
Effects are brilliant. Better than most films to be honest.
Give it a go. If you don't like the first episode you won't like the rest.
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)
Beyond Terrible
Cumberbore has outdone himself in this one. Multiple boring verses. Where are all the people when the giant eyeball octopus is attacking NYC. And Rachel Mc Adams husband just laughs when he sees it like he sees it everyday. Then, of course, here comes wong to save the day. But he doesn't. Can it get any worse?
Yes!! Wanda is here with the worst child actors who ever existed, and the worst fake accent.
There is not 1 redeeming feature of this streaming pile of xxxx.
Maybe try spiderman.
My Fake Boyfriend (2022)
Ouch
This was a hard watch. Terrible acting by all apart from the hot chef. The whole thing exposed the superficialness of young people today. Everyone is insincere and fake. Lies are their currency. As is showing off. The main gig is in every gay show out there since coming out himself. I guess he ticks a few boxes just not mine.
Night Sky (2022)
Brilliant
Spacek is better in this than Carrie. Absolutely thrilling from start to finish. Hope it gets another season. You won't regret watching it. These things have to be real. Surely preparing us for disclosure. Imagine the possibilities.
Love, Victor (2020)
S2 not so great
S2 had an extremely woke agenda which it keeps pushing and pushing and pushing. This ruined it for me. I won't be watching s3 now. Religion is not something that should be pushed in peoples faces.
Steph's Packed Lunch (2020)
How low can you go?
This isn't limbo dancing darling. This show is literally the worst of the worst, bottom of the barrel scraping rubbish.
It can barely pull in a few hundred thousand viewing figures. And Simon Cowell is being ripped to shreds for only getting 3 million viewers for his new show.
So how is this cow pat of a show still on air ? It feels like a group of drama school students trying to make a current affairs programme for their uni project. And making a complete mess of it.
Sorry steph time to switch you off. Time to unpack the lunch box and put it in the bin. Terrible.
Jupiter's Legacy (2021)
I enjoyed it but....
It tried to tell too many complex stories at once. There was more than a few times times I was like 'what's going on? Which story are we in? Who the hell is that? But for all it's poor storytelling I enjoyed the characters and their interactions and how they were effected by the situation. It all kind of builds up to meeting skyfox then the ending happens and you're left more confused than when it started. So yeah. Make of it what you will. But I'll watch a second season IF it gets ones.
Update ** June 23
No second series. Not surprised. And other providers are not interested. End of the road for this overpaid actors and scriptwriters fest. No country for old men I guess.
Thunder Force (2021)
Don't take it so seriously!!
Oh come on there were parts of this had me in stitches. Ok it wasn't brilliant but I've watched a lot lot worse. Very watchable Sunday afternoon fun.
Bridget & Eamon (2016)
Brilliant - go on !
Hilariously funny. The best Irish comedy since father Ted. Bridget in particular is amazing. "Eamon Eamon Eamon". She's such a head do-er. Very Irish comedy. Love it.
The Irregulars (2021)
Should be called unwatchables
Terrible acting. So dull and bland. Literally nothing happens. Also totally miscast ! I'm pretty sure that England was almost 100% white and this point in time. Let's tell the truth about the history of our country of you're going to do a period piece.
Total rubbish. Don't bother.
Teen Wolf (2011)
S1-5 great S6 meh
Seasons 1 - 5 were great. Although when Tyler hoechymn went the show lost its edge a bit.
S6 was terrible. Terrible writing. Boring as hell. Nothing happens. Its like they were trying to get cancelled or something.
The Midnight Sky (2020)
Terrible. And Clooney has to be the worst actor in town.
I mean nothing happens. Nothing happens. A girl is alone. Nothing happens. Nothing happens. Oh a downed plane of no relevance. Moves on. Nothing happens. Cabin sinks. Nothing happens. Oh a weather station. Send a signal. Nothing happens. Something happens the end. Terrible.
Orange Is the New Black (2013)
Even better second time around
Things I hated first time I loved second time. Their lives. Their stories. Their hardships. So well told. Always remember they're all human. Just like me and you. And ANYONE could end up in the same position with one mistake or being in the wrong place at the wrong time. This is a wee brilliant series that everyone should watch.
How It Ends (2018)
It doesn't end
Nothing happens. Nothing happens. Random person joins the crew. Random person leaves. Someone dies. Weirdo shows up. Nothing happens. Nothing happens. It's over. Everyone looks annoyed.
The Lovebirds (2020)
Watch Date Night Instead
This is just a bad knock off of date night with a POC couple rather than a white couple. Bad acting. Annoying characters. Stolen plot.
The Beyond (2017)
Exactly the correct score
There are reviews on here saying this is 10/10. It's not. There are reviews saying it's 1/10. It's not.
What our me off is the first person POV on about half the film. I hate this and it makes it feel cheap.
The story is interesting and does make you think about how you would act and feel if that actually happened.
The plot has a lot of holes in it. After the main event so to speak it loses it a bit and the story then becomes silly. The ending is poor.
I can't say I enjoyed it but didn't hate it either. If you like sci fi, space exploration, science etc then you'll be able to watch this til the end. If you don't - don't even try.
I wouldn't watch it again and I wouldn't recommend it but you might just enjoy it. It is watchable.
Annihilation (2018)
All been done before
Boring. Predictable. And not adds Nothing new to the genre. It had lots of opportunities to do something different and take a different direction but it took the worst choices possible.
I couldn't wait for it to end.
Maybe you might like this if you're really really really into cell biology. Otherwise I'd give it a miss.
Schitt$ Creek (2015)
Just gets better and better
Such a well scripted and cast show. David and Alexis play the part so well. They do the same facial expressions and are really believable as brother and sister.
Lovely to see Eugene and Danial working together.
And I love Catherine O'Hara's weird accent. No one knows what accent it's supposed to be ! Lol.
Lovesick (2014)
Better than I had suspected
I think as other people have said the title does not beat suit this. It's a bit more like This Life.
Only a few episodes in but good casting, good scripts, fun and light hearted, doesn't take itself too seriously.
I just think the concept of telling everyone you've ever slept with about an STI you only recently picked up a bit not thought threw.
But as I said it's enjoyable if you fancy something light hearted and aren't what sure what to watch. Give it ago.
Travelers (2016)
Great show
I'm currently binge watching season 3 which is great. Season 2 lost me a little but 3 is back to the good scripts of season 1.
I hope Netflix keep renewing this until the full story is told.
Hereditary (2018)
Nothing happens
Someone dies, nothing happens, nothing happens, someone else dies, nothing happens, nothing happens, a headless body floats into a treehouse. The audience laughs. Everyone looks pissed.
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
Worst film ever
Seriously it goes from terrible to laughable. Some of the worst acting, cheesy jokes and pointless reveals ever. Was Howard on drugs when made this?
Look out for the gremlin, the singing roast chicken and the hilarious moment L3 is ripped in two (don't cry).
