Woman of the Hour (2023)
too different to what really happened.
Check some youtube videos of Sheryl at the dating game show - it's a completely different person to the one depicted in 'woman of the hour'.
I understand some creative liberties, but this is a complete fabrication of her personality.
The set and the actors are excellent, i am just uncertain as to why Anna Kendrick felt the need to change Sheryl's personality and back story. It's uncalled for and not true to the facts.
I love Anna Kendrick in everything she has done. She is extremely talented. I do hope - for her sake - that she will learn from her directorial debut mishap and treat the audience with more respect next time around.
Fool Me Once (2024)
4 stars for Adeel Akhtar, 0 stars for michelle keegan
Adeel Akhtar's performance on the other hand is probably one of the best acting i have seen recently. Certainly on par with past great actors. It's a joy to see his work in this show.
Michelle keegan's acting suited brassic really well. It does not suit fool me once. Lets pretend that her character isn't as ridiculous as it is... i mean.. she was a soldier, she gives flying lessons, she's a martial arts expert, she's an expert marksman, she's a mother, she picks up her kid, she does police work.. all on any given day. Uhem...
the character continuously assaults numerous characters but is never charged. She also attacks the soccer coach in front of the kids and parents and nothing happens. She's a bully and we should not reward bullying behaviour.
Michelle's acting is wooden, some of the worst i have ever seen. The same expression in every scene.
JFK: One Day in America (2023)
just see youtube documentaries, they are much better.
This is just run-of-the-mill story of the day leading up to the event, the event and the manhunt. Nothing new.
No mention of the umbrella man even though he's in the clips or the man with the walkie talkie next to him merely metres from JFK. No mention of how everyone turns to the grassy nole, or that behind the grassy nole there's a train station carpark that was never secured. No mention that the carcano rifle is different to the one lee holds in the photos. Nothing...
my recommendation is to take your time on youtube. There are some amazing documentaries that dive deep in the story.. unlike this dribble.
Jfk one day in america brings nothing to the table. You might as well watch a more comprehensive show that looks at all facets of that tragic day.
Frasier (2023)
this could have been a non-frasier show.
Where to start...? The original had brilliant references to classical culture.. the humour was mostly for the initiated.. this new show is basically spoon-fed cheap laughs. Oh and then there's the fake canned laugh track. At every opportunity it is activated. If you were smiling before, you won't by the 10th time as you realise you've been played. The producers want so much for this reboot to succeed that they are going for the mainstream audience, instead of the 'acquired taste' of the original audience.
Kelsey grammer is awesome as ever, but the supporting cast is NOTHING to write home about. Freddie's character is uninteresting, as is everyone else except for maybe the lads at the pub and the university dean. Everyone else, forgettable.
This could have been a non-frasier show.
Star Trek: Picard (2020)
Season 3 is what the fans wanted from the start!
Well after the disappointing first 2 seasons of Picard, they finally caved in and gave the fans what they desired after all these years... the STNG crew is back and working together. Absolutely brilliant season and i'm so sorry that the first 2 seasons were so awful that many might not tune in to watch this gem.
If you're an STNG fan, do yourself a favour and watch the third season of Picard. You won't regret it. I'm up to episode 9 and can't wait for the finale!!! I can't say the same for most shows these days.
CBS, please give us more of the same.. put Jean-Luc in charge of an armada in season 4 and watch the subscriptions skyrocket. In the meantime, thank you for Season 3 of Picard.
The Menu (2022)
worst movie ever?
Worst movie ever? Maybe..
I'm surprised Ralph Fiennes agreed to act in this dribble. He was after all 'The English Patient' and that was a masterpiece.
There are numerous problems with this movie. Why do people commit suicide? Why does the chef allow a patron to leave? How is the coast guard employee a member of the kitchen? (i mean he came in a CG boat.. or was he a cook that ran out, got in a boat, and then sailed around the island and docked...?) come on.. and what's the point of mother in the corner?
Most egregious of all is that once again we have the story repeated 'ad nauseum' of the rebellious female standing up to the establishment and once again such behaviour is rewarded.. lol in which world does this happen? Not in mine!!!!! Stand up to the status quo and you're in for a rude awakening (eg police, workplace, gov institutions, etc.)
Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet (2020)
season 1 was brilliant but..
After the covid break, the show nosedived. It's a complete waste of time. What are the 2 female testers doing? And why are they back in s.3 ? Poppy is nothing now, Ian is a pain to watch. Bring Murray F Abrahm back! He was so awesome. Danni Pudi was brilliant in s.1 but now he's a wet blanket. Jessie Ennis always a joy to watch.
So disappointed in how this show turned out. It should have been more like Silicon Valley instead of... whatever it is... millennials thinking about themselves?? And about their 'right' to be offended at everything? I dunno.. the 2 female testers and the 2 male testers are just cringe. Will enjoy season1 again and forget about the trajectory of this show, it's a waste of time.
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (2022)
youtube. This is not the story of weird al yankovic ! This is fiction !
I went in wanting to learn about Yankovic's life... but this is a complete fabrication from the first few minutes to the end.
It's a spoof of biopics with a bit of rambo half way through the film. To be honest, the actors playing popstars of the time are very very VERY good! And it's fun to see cameos and actors representing such icons of the 80s but this doesn't excuse the movie, we could have seen 80s impersonators on youtube.
This is not the story of weird al yankovic ! This is fiction !!!! You will not learn anything at all from it except that you were taken for a ride, and that's probably the aim of the show.
Forsvinningen - Lørenskog 31. oktober 2018 (2022)
starts off good but..
Starts off good but the editing is atrocious.
I am unsure if this was edited down for the international audience - it could have been - because we get installing audio bugs in one scene, the next scene someone is arrested (without the use of the bugs), then we see hair found in a drain well... ???? ???? ?? What? ??? ?? When did they start looking in the drain? On what grounds is the arrest carried out?? What's going on? The editing and therefore the story is all over the place.
I had to stop at ep.3, it is just not worth my time to watch something so sub-standard. The norwegians really don't know how to make good tv shows/movies. They can learn from the swedes!
The Goldbergs (2013)
used to be 10/10 now it's not worth watching
Don't get me wrong, I religiously LOVED this show, I loved everything about it as it brought back so many memories of the 80s. Absolutely adored it. The sad passing of George Segal could have been endured but the firing of Jeff Garlin was ridiculous. The producers should have stopped this woke rubbish and gotten on with the show! As they say in Australia, they threw the baby out with the bathwater. He was a major presence on the show. I don't know who 'accused' him, but let it be knows he was never charged and should be treated as innocent until proven guilty... unless of course you're in a banana country where you are guilty first and have to prove your innocence...
definitely season 10 is a waste of time. The best years where up to season 6 but the following few could have been endured.
I'm much happier watching the reruns than the new episodes. Pull the plug.
Only Murders in the Building (2021)
very entertaining but what's the go with gomez?
Martin short is absolutely brilliant, Steve Martin is awesome.. but why what who Salena Gomez doing in this? She truly can't act. It would have been wonderful to have a feminine woman play the part - it would have been so much fun with the 2 oldies but instead we have a tomboy boring one-facial expression gomez. Really really REALLY poor casting chosing selena gomez. Her voice is deeper than the men in the show (howard? Lol) - it detracts from the show, but we endure as it might be medical. Anyway, i still enjoyed the show and give it a seven out of ten, would have been more without gomez - she's definitely off my to-watch list!
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)
Finally!! Star Trek is back!
Finally wokeness is mostly gone except for a few exceptions but overall this is what we have all been asking for. Thank you Paramount for righting your wrongs of discovery. The sets are great, the stories are very good and the acting is awesome! This captain has more than one emotion!! (unlike michael vernon) Happy to watch this!!
The Offer (2022)
brilliant!!!!!
This limited tv series is absolutely brilliant! The acting is superb, the sets are breathtaking and the story is captivating! Do yourself a favour and watch this tv show and the Godfather movies again. Cinema and tv series at their best. Enjoy!
Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area (2022)
why watch this?? it's exactly the same as the original
Why watch this?? It's exactly the same as the original... even the city names are the same!!?? There is nothing new at all with this show.
It's not a REMAKE- nothing was remade. It's a copy. You're not going watch it if you liked the original.
The Batman (2022)
ridiculous
The movie is 3 hrs long and super-mega boring. I don't recall a more boring movie in recent memory. It's just a sequence of 'set scenes' glued together by tedious car chases or bike chases. Zoe kravitz acting is way sub-par but she does excel when she doesn't talk.
Contrary to my intial belief, pattinson is actually quite good when he's the batman. When he's out of character he's just an emo - like back to the 90s emo culture?? Weird.
Riddler is completely re-mastered... he was never like this in the comics or other batman shows.
Bored out of my brain with this dribble.
Dexter: New Blood (2021)
awful finale
If they think i'm going to watch harrison in s.2 they have no idea. Pathetic ending, worse than the original ending in every way.
Will not bother with season two.
Finch (2021)
OMG what the hell !??
Well it's official, I now don't like a Tom Hanks movie....
dont get me wrong, Tom is great in it (as always) but the movie is putrid!! The robot talks like Borat and acts like Bender (futurama). It's astonishing that a movie directed towards a teen audience has Tom Hanks in it.. they should have gone with a cheaper 20-30 year old and call it quits. Adults will find this absolutely painful to sit through.
The only redeeming feature apart from Hanks is the soundtrack - which once again is wasted on teens.. you've been warned!! : )
B Positive (2020)
what happened to this show?
I really enjoyed season1, but season2 is absolutely abysmal. I honestly can't believe how lazy the writing is, the jokes are 'forced' and not funny at all.
The 'change' in circumstances with the show ensures this is the last season of B Positive.
The good thing about this show is that Gina is likeable - unlike Chuck's other show where Abishola is just a total pain and hardly ever smiles.
Nine Perfect Strangers (2021)
watch this before The White Lotus
As it turned out, i watched 'the white lotus' and then stumbled upon 'nine perfect strangers'. I can't help thinking that i might have enjoyed it more if i hadn't seen the white lotus, or at least watched this first.
Both tv shows deal with strangers huddled together at a hotel or wellness resort.
As it is, nine perfect strangers is nowhere near the same league as the white lotus. Really. I'm interested in viewers' thoughts if they watched this 1st and the other 2nd.
Shame such talent for such a mediocre story.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017)
mrs maisel just isn't funny
Mrs maisel just isn't funny, her standup is sub-par, wouldn't be given the light of day anywhere. Luckily the supporting cast carries the show - they're actually funny. Joel's parents, maisel's dad etc. Joel is a waste of space.
If you have kids and wonder how a mum would let her 2 children all the time so she can pursue her dreams to be a standup comedian.. then you're not alone !! She also chooses standup over marriage... and this is in the 50s!!!!!! So very unlikely. You're not missing much, watch Mad Men, way way better for your 50s/60s fix.
The Card Counter (2021)
cure for insomnia
This is probably the worst movie i have ever seen. The tempo is at a crawl, the dialogue is absolutely abysmal. "Kirk with a 'c'" ? WTF. Shocking waste of time, pls save yourself the 2 hours and enjoy a walk in the park, or watch literally ANYTHING else.. even the news would be more entertaining.
Reminiscence (2021)
good idea but poorly directed
Reminiscence could have been a great movie, brilliant performances from Newton in particular and by Jackman and Ferguson. The photography is very good and the mood is just right. Unfortunately, the viewer can't help but be reminded of Blade Runner thanks to the narration/trenchcoat/water/settings. This should have been avoided as much as possible as - respectfully speaking - nothing should or could compare to the original Blade Runner.
It could have been good. As it is, it's mediocre.
Annette (2021)
OMG the reel should be buried forever
What to say, it's amateurish camera work is laughable - it's not artistic at all - the transparency effect is just cringe-worthy (you don't do that in a detailed scene!!!!!!!! C'mon!! You do that for landscape shots!! Come on!!!!)
the music is sub-par. And the movie is boring.
Not worth watching (even for free on tv). Give it a miss, save 2hrs20 of your life.
Why Women Kill (2019)
Season 2 light years better than Season 1 !!
Wow S.2 is just the best ! Don't get me wrong, Season 1 was good (especially Lucy Liu's storyline) but the other plots were unfortunately just excuses for misandry).
Season 2 is delightful, i've just binge watched it all and i'm sad I finished all 10eps!!
Allison Tolman is awesome as is Nick Frost, all the characters are great, the cinematography is breathtaking (especially the chinatown night shots) the setting is spot on. Brilliant work!! Thank you for a great show in Season 2.
Infinite (2021)
started off good
Started off good but eventually the boring action sequences to fill in the plot became annoying and predictable. The story is about humans that reincarnate every lifetime without losing their memories... then there are the ones that want to use their knowledge to help humanity and those who want to destroy humanity... ok, fine so far for sci-fi and could be really good.. but.. the villain has developed a weapon to kill these special people by entrapping their soul so they can't reincarnate... yet... he wants to destroy humanity so he won't reincarnate again (he's tired of living) ........... well just turn the weapon on yourself dude!!! I could have stopped watching after 30mins and would have been better for it as the rest of the show is just mindless action treating the audience as teenagers needing constant stimulus. 5 for walhberg, 0 for the script.
