Dog
(2022)

Could have been better but not that bad
It's no "red dog" or "rex" but it did bring a tear to my eye (that might be down to a bottle of red) not to shabby but it's great. As a directorial debut by the lead. Not bad at all but avoid the "tatum" needs sex parts. I like the lead but this is an easy entry into directing. I wish you well. Ok, to make up my 600 with fake parts. Tatum smashes it out of the park, tatum is back, tatum thrills with directors debut. Everyone is back with a "heavyweight slam" how many words do I need to write. Who will win between Netflix and prime for the hearts and minds of the nation? I mean I don't know....................,...........

Top Gun: Maverick
(2022)

I thoroughly enjoyed this film
If you are of my age and the first one was your go to movie. Then this is a winner. If this is not, watch the first film first .. this is a winner. There wasn't too much interaction with the lesser flyers but I can forgive that. Off to watch the original.

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
(2022)

Give them a break, it's only been episode 1
Ok, the first episode was an intro and they tried to inject humour. For me this is not the show for talking to the audience. I felt the CGI was not as bad as people say. Let's see how the show pans out.

St. Vincent
(2014)

Great turn by Kadern Martell
The film was an easy going buddy movie. No ground was broken and no genres broken but it's a nice sweet film that puts a smile on your face. Good script and acting.

Paper Girls
(2022)

5 episodes in
And I'm finding it slow going. Lots of dialogue that isn't really shifting the plot forward. I'm not sure how anyone can rate this as a ten. It's not great but it's not bad either.

Rogue Agent
(2022)

Slow and uneventful
I found the film kind of slow with out much plot. Maybe they didn't know enough of the original crimes to fill in the blanks. Acting was good as was production.

Prizefighter: The Life of Jem Belcher
(2022)

Rocky IV this is not
I take my hat of to Matt Hookings for righting and directing this but it's been done before and better, standard plot line and I didn't overly care for his character. Ray Winston does a great turn as Ray Winston (no harm, no foul 😃) but Cinderella Man or million Dollar baby had me both heavily invested in characters and in tears at points, this has neither. Watch, Enjoy & Review.

Most Dangerous Game
(2020)

Very average film with shocking script
The antagonists are idiots which kills the film. Production is good but script is appalling with mediocre action scenes. If you've nothing better to do then give it a go.

Hustle
(2022)

A nice solid 7
Whilst the film had no real surprises and did it by the numbers, it left a warm feeling in my heart. Nice Friday night film and a good departure for the lead from dross comedy. I hope he explores other avenues.

Interceptor
(2022)

Finally some real reviews
So bad it's not even good. Just avoid and move along. Why are films like this made. They aren't even stocking fillers.

Story - awful Script - shocking Acting- not even wooden.

I didn't even watch to the end.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
(2022)

Good cast average film
I spent the whole film waiting for the funny satirical part people talked about. I found it to be a touch boring and if your going to send yourself up then do a good job of it. I'm a fan of cage and really want to see him in a good film.

We Own This City
(2022)

An entertaing but sad watch.
A nice short run series with good acting and script. The story is sad but we'll told. Policing is a tough balance in any major city and there are lessons here.

Tokyo Vice
(2022)

Likeable watch but doesn't finish
So, any show that's only 8 eposides should be a one off story. This is not and we will need to wait for season 2 which is frustrating.

Good show and very watchable but not a huge amount happened.

Spiral: From the Book of Saw
(2021)

No redeeming qualities
Chris Rock looked constipated throughout most of the film. His look of consternation everytime something bad happened, like him being asked to act, was off putting. Poor plot, worse villain and I didn't care who lived or died.

Blacklight
(2022)

Film making by numbers
Liam seems to now have only one dimension and it's not the 4th. It's a shame as I assume he's stuck in only getting these roles but I wish he would choose better. This was very average with poor script and story. Turn your brain off, watch and try not to be disappointed.

Old
(2021)

Good idea but too slow
I liked the film and the idea when it eventually came to light. The film itself was slow to move and I watched on a plane so couldn't have been more of a captive audience. I would say this would have been better as a short and I had to invest too much uninteresting time for the reveal.

Trigger Point
(2022)

I was looking forward to this
Not so sure about all the woke comments but I was generally disappointed with the show. Poor script, run of the mill plot and lots of stupidity. No tension where they thought you would feel it. Light switch scene was rediculas and what bomb squad officer doesn't have their own snips. It might be your cup of tea but it wasn't mine. Ignore the 9s &10s. Fake reviews.

Ring of Death
(2008)

I had to stop after 1/2 hour
Ok film didn't start particularly well but the jerky camera work nearly pit me off as much as the wardens accent. I might pick it up again later but I expect no surprises.

Monte Walsh
(2003)

Harmless entertainment
Limited but good cast, limited but reasonable set. Average wardrobe.

Good film, script and sentiment even if John Wayne did it much better. Worth a watch if not to wish for a more simplistic life.

Werewolves Within
(2021)

Beware wolves
Well this was full with average jokes. Poor plot and script. You are just waiting for nothing to happen and when it's, there is no suprise. I would say avoid.

Jojo Rabbit
(2019)

Great peice of cinema
As it should have been with a story of this nature, it was very bitter sweet. It was very well written with each actor putting in a good turn. The ending was suitable.

Mayor of Kingstown
(2021)

As commented very gritty and grim
This is not always an easy watch in its gritty realisms. Episode 2 was particularly hard hitting for me. I would definitely recommend it if this would be your cup of tea. A very good turn by Jeremy Renner.

The Grand Tour: The Grand Tour Presents: Carnage A Trois
(2021)
Episode 4, Season 4

Lost their way
These three are now just rehashing the same jokes over and over. They've been doing it since TG but it's run out of steam. Captain slow etc. They've had a good run and should leave well aline or reformat.

The Last Legion
(2007)

Star studded turd
Bad film with poor to no plot and not even the great cast could save it. Boy gets lost and is found. That's the plot. Poor CGI and I would think historically very inaccurate. Bad script and poor fight scenes. Avoid.

The Power of the Dog
(2021)

Slow, slow, slow
It was slow, ponderous and ultimately unsatisfactory. For me it was not worth the time invested and had I gone to the cinema. That would have annoyed me for the effort.
