Nah! Not buying that. Red can deffo come back from that šŸ˜

Chivalry (2022)

First episode comes across as having significant misandristic overtones. Iā€™m hoping this is just the foundation being set and better and more fun moments are to come! Weā€™ll just have to wait and see.

Star Trek: Picard (2020) S2 E1

That was a great first episode to the second season of Star Trek Picard šŸ‘

Loved it, this is the Star Trek I love, none of that Star Trek ā€˜Michaelā€™ nonsense if you know what I mean šŸ¤£

A nice quiet family comedy. I enjoyed it šŸ¤£šŸ‘

A good wholesome binge watch on a rainy day. Powerful characters, decent story line and acting. Thumbs up from me šŸ‘

Cheaters (2022)

I thoroughly enjoyed this. So funny in so many ways :)

Gasoline Alley (2022)

Itā€™s the best Bruce Willis movie Iā€™ve seen in a while. The lead guy Devon Sawa carries the film giving a gritty performance. All said and done it was ok. Yes itā€™s not polished and has a few rough edges but worth a one time watch.

Nope, I gave it 20 minutes and then started to roll forward. Like watching paint dry. Definitely a lockdown movie!

The Trip (2021)

Great movie, loved every minute. Definitely on my top list for 2021 :)

Star Trek: Discovery (2017) S4 E3

I think this was misnamed, it really should be called Star Trek Burnham. I watch this only because this is where the franchise has landed. Very PC. The crew spend too much time being in touch with their respective sensitive sides. Dare I say it but like a lot of these great old stories it has been usurped in the usual way which I donā€™t need to spell out. Come back Jim, Spock and Bones :)
Overall it is a good watch as it is high budget and the special effects are solid.
Iā€™m looking forward to the next completely new iteration of Star Trek.

The Many Saints of Newark (2021)

This movie was very slow and really didnā€™t have a decent thread or plot. Very random and just felt like a poorly thought out homage to the Sopranos. A shame really as I was really expecting this to be awesome!

The Green Knight (2021)
v8nlw 8 points 2 years ago.

Not what I was expecting at all. I guess they were going for something very arty. For me the entertainment value was a zero. The pace was too slow and it lacked any kind of cohesive flow.

Kung Fu (2021)

This is not a remake of the original in any way. Itā€™s really a soft fun option for teens I would say. The view of American Chinese family life is nice and has a fun side to it.

Walker (2021)

Iā€™m plus one on this being pretty bad. Itā€™s nothing at all to do with the old concept starring Chuck Norris. This is a sad soap.

Grace (2021)

Still a muppet :)

The Equalizer (2021) S1 E1
v8nlw 0 points 3 years ago.

This should be called ā€˜Not the Equalizerā€. Hilarious.

Iā€™ll be consigning this one to the trash!

Vengeance (2020)
v8nlw 1 points 3 years ago.

Honestly, donā€™t waste your time. This is bad. Like amateur hour. Acting is bad, plot is bad, delivery is bad.

Tower of Song: A Memorial Tribute to Leonard Cohen (2018)
v8nlw 1 points 5 years ago.

A nice tribute to to a fantastic minstrel. RIP Leonard.

Hunter Killer (2018)
v8nlw 3 points 5 years ago.

A very enjoyable action movie. The acting is good and Gerard Butler sells it well giving a very credible performance as a ā€˜peoplesā€™ Captain. (didnā€™t go through the academy, school of hard knocks etc). The only thing that lets it down is that the whole plot hinges upon a Russian General who for some inexplicable reason has decided to take over control of the Countries armed forces. As there is very little in the way of back story and build up it leaves you with a sense of ā€˜Whatā€™ the ????
Oh, one more thing that lets it down being the underwater graphics showing a submarine with a sharper turning radius than a Speed Boat. I donā€™t think they were going for technical detail here, just impact and adrenalin.

All in all a great one time watch with lots of fist bumping and camaraderie going on.

Time Freak (2018)
v8nlw 1 points 5 years ago.

Itā€™s a teen flick, I should have realised by the thumbnail, Doh!. I lasted 10 minutes.

The Equalizer 2 (2018)
v8nlw 4 points 5 years ago.

Ignore the reviews that say this movie isnā€™t great. This is a cracking movie and a really exciting watch. Get yourself a couple of beers and a bag of snacks and settle down for one hell of a ride. Denzel does a great job switching between the mild mannered Mr Unknown to the razor sharp Robert McCall. The story line is interesting and keeps you wanting to know more. The direction and production quality is top notch. All in all I would be happy to pay my hard earned for a seat at the cinema to watch this on the big screen. 10 out of 10 IMO.

Rake (2010)

Season 5 is thoroughly enjoyable. Richard Roxburgh doesnā€™t disappoint. Itā€™s a riotous ride from start to finish and great for a good few belly laughs :)
