Shaun the Sheep: The Farmer's Llamas
(2015)

One for all the family to enjoy
It is another brilliant Shaun the Sheep short, which is yet again funny and enjoyable for all the family. The short has many Easter egg clips, from other Aardman shorts, and other props from different Shaun the Sheep episodes. Plus this short is one funny one, but with a nice message hidden within, it may seem like a good idea at the beginning but it may not have been a good idea later on.

The Game
(1997)

What an ending of a film.
It is a very good film, with lots of twists and turns in the film, with and ending which has a big turn and then another, which I didn't see coming. I liked that each clue that he was given helped him, I just wished that there were more of them, as they were such a lovely key part of the movie. Also if the rest of the film was as great as the ending was, it would have been an even better film I believe. Plus the film's ending is almost like a Nolan ending, so if you like Christopher Nolan I would definitely recommend this film to you. Overall it is a film I would enjoy watching again, and again.

The Midnight Sky
(2020)

Alright of a film
The film is very predictable, with an ending that was alright. The film was predictable to something bad is going happen because it's getting boring now. Also the film has a story that normally always has the same happy ending. However I did enjoy the film though, it had a nice feel to it but was boring in places. But I wouldn't want to watch it again.

Tenet
(2020)

A film like no other
Where do you begin in a film quite like this. In other words... wow! A film genre that we thought was already largely explored, has just grown wider, in what Nolan keeps pushing and increasing the heights of the industry, exploring genres like no other, and telling the story in ways that haven't really been done before. Tenet, is a film that will leave your head spinning in different directions especially towards the end, where I think it's the most head spinning bit. However, when you realize what had just happened, you only be left with either nothing to say, or wow. Tenet is a film which I would definitely watch again in a heartbeat. It may hurt your head but it will be worth it for this film, which is like no other.

Below Deck
(2013)

Just what the doctor ordered!
Brilliant. I can't stop watching it. I love how you get to have an all access pass, so you can see what the charter guests are seeing and what a life of luxury they have. But also that you get to see what happens "Below Deck", what there going through and what romance is in the air. What I think I like about it the most is that you get to see the different sections of the crews, and that they put in what the person is saying at that moment which is always funny. I must say though I do like Kate and Ben they are so funny together, which makes it have a great vibe, especially when it gets really irate in the kitchen. Love it, watched, Brilliant.

Downsizing
(2017)

Rubbish story line
I was so looking forward to this film the trailer built up a story which looked like it was going to be brilliant. It seemed like a funny, silly film. But when I finally watched it, it just wasn't right the film just had no idea where it was going to end up. At the start of the film it was a nice build up, but as the film got on it all seemed like they didn't know how to end the film, as the ending was very disappointing and felt a bit rushed. Apart from the end, I thoroughly enjoyed the start of the film.

Toy Story 4
(2019)

Just why???
They should have ended it on number 3, it was a perfect ending to the film series with Andy saying goodbye to the toys, and him driving off into the sunset off to collage, had me in tears. But now theres a number four. I rember hearing when i was a kid that they were thinking about making a fourth but they took a while to make it and come up with the plot. And boy they should they have ended it on 3.

With the ending they have shown now it has got to be the end, they can't possibly make more out of this franchise, can they? The end did yet again have me in tears, but it just isn't a good film, it just isn't a good story to end on, 3 was a story to end. So if you want Toy Story franchise film series to end probably for you stop on Toy Story 3 and don't end of 4.

However i do like Duck and Bunny they are sooo funny! I do though have a point to make when Woody, Buz, bo Peep, Bunny, Ducky, Duke Caboon, and Bo Peeps sheep try to get Forky back from Gabby Gabby and her henchmen, this part reminds me of Toy Story 3. Which is when Lotos has locked up the toys with Lotos henchmen on duty with Woody trying to get in to rescue them, It just seems too simiar for my liking.

Men in Black: International
(2019)

The worst one yet!!!
The movie is absolutely pants, the script is a classic story of a mole in a group of people, so you need to go find out who it is before its to late, and the mole is always the last person you expect it is. That story does not fit with all the other MIB films, which are all about saving the world against aliens.

Plus the ending on the film normally all leads up to the big fight scene which normally is always about 10 min, except this one was about 3 - 4 min which has got to be the quickest fight scene in history.

Don't spend your money watching the film, it doesn't deserve your money.

The Missing
(2014)

Bone chilling
Season 2 was better than season 1, it felt as if the first seasons ending was a bit disapointing to watch what actually happened to Oliver. However season 2 was much more promising with lots more twists and turns, an was a much better story and ending which was spread across three timeframes.

Each episode is an hour long but look hopefull as some really do drag on but others will give you a goosebump ending on the episode.

It's every parents worst nightmare losing your child, don't know if he's dead or alive, especially opening the case quite a while after the disapearence. And then seeing things that no parent should see, what happened and where your child was!

An exceptional drama, i would very much recomened it, i jsut hope that the spin off on Julia Baptise series called Baptise is as good as the this series.

The Upside
(2017)

magical
A lovely film, aboot the Upside of life even in the most difficult cirumstances. And the best Upside to the film is that it is a true story too, absolutley magical. This film would be the perfect movie to watch when your feeling down, or the perfect movie to watch while we're in lockdown. So i hope that you watch this film and be lifted by the sprites of the film.

The Italian Job
(1969)

Brilliant
We all know those brilliant famous words that Sir Michael Caine said, that he will be stuck with for the rest of his life, "Your only supposed to blow the bloody doors off." Its so absolutely British as well, even right down to the Minis, British made and even the colour scheme Red, White, and Blue, which sticks in that order throughout the movie. I thoroughly enjoy the film every time I watch, definitely recommend the film to anyone as it is definitely a classic, brilliant film.

Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker
(2019)

Horrible to watch - Everthying wrong with the film listed below
Disney just don't understand the power of the lightsaber. At the start of the film we are in mid battle, so when Kylo Ren brings down a person without the Lighsaber going through him, it is a bit confusing???

With Rose who played a huge part in the TLJ, it seemed her role was a big downgrade in the film, a part which an extra could have done.

Emperor Palpatine back??? How on earth is he back from the dead, sorry but he got thrown down into the reactor core in the second Death Star which blew up. Plus how on earth did he create a machine which is the only thing keeping him alive, when he would have been blown up.

The voices Rey hears before she kills Palpatine, i think we should be able to see the faces of the voices as well.

How come Kylo Ren doesn't recognise his own quarters when Rey is in Kylo Ren's quarters and there fighting against each other, some how he doesn't recognise where she is, even though that is his room. He only recognises it when Darth Vaders mask is platform is destroyed.

Did anyone else get flashbacks because I know I did? Remember in the Force Awakens Han Solo going up to bridge and tying to his son don't be this person, forget about it and asks him to hand his lightsaber to him. Well that what happened in this one except this time it worked, and Han is dead.

New Force Powers 1. How can a Lighsaber travell from one persons back to another? 2. Healing people? How? As in theory in Episode 1 when Qui-Gon Jinn was stabbed by Darth Mauls lightsaber, Obi-Wan Kenobi could have healed Qui-Gon Jinn if this is a Jedi power.

Really!!! In Return Of The Jedi Luke watched his friends die in a battle in the sky, before Darth Vader through Palpatine into the reactor core. Then in The Last Jedi Rey watched her friends die in a battle in the sky before Kylo and Rey killed Supreme Leader Snoke. And now in The Rise Of Skywalker Rey watched her friends die in a battle in the sky again, before killing Palaptine.

I believe that the film should have ended with Rey seeing Lei, Luke, Anakin, Yoda, Obi-Wan, Han and Ben all together as ghosts for a lovely ending to the trilogy.

Ending has already been done. In Ready Player One, Avenger: Endgame and now The Rise Of Skywalker sees the end scene of every one giving up just before everyone comes running to fight for a better future.

My last point is that, if Papletine created Snoke and made everything happen, how come he could't have any influence on Rey. How come Palpitine could't talk to Rey and make her join the dark side???

There's lots of unanswered questions which make no sense at all, Disney have done a rubbish job on this Star Wars film and all the rest of them. If i could i would rate it as a zero, and if i wish that it was never made!!!
