Uncharted
(2022)

Enjoyable to watch but utterly ludicrous!!
This film does what it says on the tin! It's a perfect Sunday afternoon family movie and perfectly enjoyable to watch with all the usual family jokes.

You will however find yourself scratching your head at the absolute nonsense and totally ridiculousness of it all.. it's not going to win any awards but hay, it's fun to watch and sometimes that's all we need!!

This Is Going to Hurt
(2022)

Excellent!!
This isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea because it's a very honest and gritty view of the lives of people who work within the NHS and I have to say as an ex nurse I love it!

It's about time people realised the hard work, dedication and exhausting life of the people who take care of us and look after our every whim.

If you had to pay £300 for an inhaler like Americans you would appreciate every tiny thing that we take for granted.

An honest tv show, based of an excellent book.. based on real events! Thank you to everyone involved in this.. simply superb, beautiful acting and story telling.

Big up our fabulous NHS everyone..

Sweet Magnolias
(2020)

Selling the Christian southerners way too much!!
I really enjoyed the first season and even though they sold the religious side of things it was a little more subtle than the second season which is just all about Southern Christian nonsense.

Maybe this is appealing to Americans but to the more international market it's off putting. Jesus this and God that, it's just too much. It distracts from the story line and has made it appear too wooden and superficial.

Sorry folks but I won't be watching anymore. Just too loaded with religion for me.

Jigeum uri hakgyoneun
(2022)

Brilliant!
Loved this! I don't think there was a single episode that didn't keep me on the edge of my seat!

It had a little of everything, plenty of violence, funny moments and some really touching moments which won't be everyone's cup of tea if they just want a run of the mill zombie movie!

I thought it was fantastic, ended on a cliff hanger so already looking forward to the next season!

And Just Like That...
(2021)

It's Getting Better!
Listen I was beyond excited about this reboot but the first two episodes were pretty bad. Wooden acting and woke storyline made it uncomfortable to watch but it's finding it's feet a little now and I'm really starting to enjoy it.

It's aimed mostly at Middle Aged women so if your in that demographic you'll enjoy it. The fashion is off, I'm not sure what's going on with that, trying to throw too many different things together.

I'm holding out hope that it will get better and back to the original brilliance of Sex and the City.

Dare I say it.. bring back Samantha please!!

Eternals
(2021)

Meh!!
Didn't enjoy this at all, storyline all over the place and confusing. Acting was pretty appalling which isn't great given the actors that were in it!

Boring and unnecessary film all around.

Be careful Marvel your starting to spread yourself too thin..

Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts
(2022)

Gorgeous!
I loved this! What a beautifully made reunion. Whether you like Harry Potter or not it's been a huge part of our lives growing up (well mine definitely) we watched these actors grow from kids to adults and this series really does show their brilliance!

All of the adult actors are magnificent and what a lovely insight into all of their relationships with each other and a beautiful remembrance of the incredible actors we've lost. I still sob when I watch the scene where we find out Snape is actually a good guy! We miss you Alan!!

An absolute must for even the slightest Harry Potter fan.. I thought this was gorgeous.. like a warm hug and a hot chocolate! Fabulous!

Anne
(2017)

Heart Wrenching from Start to Finish!
What an extraordinary story, I know the Hillsborough story but had no idea of the fight these people have had to go through and still go through so I'm so pleased I watched this.

The acting is outstanding from everyone, I thought it was tastefully done and tells the story really well.

Excellent TV, I hope they get some justice!!

Anne is one hell of a fighter right till the very end.

Stay Close
(2021)

Excellent Binge Worthy Triller!
Starts off a little complicated as lots of intertwining stories but once you get into it's truly binge worthy!

Not sure what I think of the insane dancing killer couple but I guess it adds some flamboyance to it all.

Stellar performances by all the cast and the last scene with Sarah Parrish and James Nesbitt is incredible! Excellent cast as around. Highly recommended.

Back to the Outback
(2021)

Lovely Family Film
Great little family flick, really enjoyed this allot. Great cast, Tim Minchin is of course brilliant as Pretty Boy and lots of memorable Voices throughout.

Funny and very sweet! Definitely a family favourite!!

Gomorrah
(2014)

Unbelievably Stunning!
I've just watched the last series and I'm so sad because they're will never be anything this good ever again! The writing the acting it's sublime. Beautifully brought together you almost feel like your watching a documentary rather than a tv show! Hats off to everyone as I don't think I've ever been so engaged with anything as much as this show ever.. just perfection.

I will miss the series forever. Just incredible.

The Witcher
(2019)

Loved 1st Series, Second Series SUCKS!
The first series was amazing but the second series is just awful! The script is beyond terrible and the only thing that had kept me going is the the main character is called Ciri high sounds very similar to another totally incompetent person (no names mentioned) but I imagine if you asked that half wit the story line he/she wouldn't have a clue either! It's awful.. just embarrassed for the entire crew. Normally goes at least a couple of seasons before becoming this bad.. embarrassing beyond belief.

No connection with story, characters or anything else.. wheels have come off entirely:(

A Christmas Number One
(2021)

Easily the Worst Christmas Movie Ever Made!
Just awful, terrible story.. absolutely dreadful acting to the point of it actually being to embarrassing to watch. Hated it! Don't waste your time with this huge pile of pants!

Why Him?
(2016)

Absolutely hilarious!
Not your classic Christmas flick but still worth a watch! I thought it was hilarious.. not everyone's cup of tea of course but if your off for something a little silly this Christmas then definitely give this one a bash!

Will be a firm family fave in my house for sure!

The Lost Symbol
(2021)

Binge Worthy Thriller!
Enjoyed this much more than I thought I would, solid acting from everyone. Engaging story with plenty of twists and turns.

Special affects could be improved but overall and enjoyable series.

Definitely worth a watch!

On the Verge
(2021)

Absolute trash!
This is just awful.. probably the most dislikable characters of any tv show I've ever watched (and I adore Elizabeth Shue) hated them all and the husbands were just hideous.

Storylines are beyond ridiculous and the whole thing just left me wanting to smash my tv to pieces.

I've never left a 1 star for anything.. ever.. this is that bad. Not one redeeming feature at all! Yuk.

Love Hard
(2021)

Great little Christmas Movie!
Really enjoyed this, much more than I thought I would! Sweet story and all the usual expected elements of your usual Christmas movie.

I particularly enjoyed the updated version of 'Baby it's cold outside' very well done.

Enjoyable Festive flick!

Kevin Can F**k Himself
(2021)

Fantastic! If you understand it!!
I think people who have left negative feedback just don't understand this. It's quite clever and actually a really interesting concept. Wife of a horribly annoying sitcom husband struggles to find herself and her own identity whilst plotting his death!

I enjoyed it and it gets better with each episode. I loved the different lighting used for the sitcom bits and then the darker side of the story.

The male lead is truly the most annoying man on tv but I'm guessing that's the point.

I'm really looking forward to series 2! Great show..

Halloween Kills
(2021)

Very enjoyable horror!
I'm a huge horror fan and I really loved this! So gory and kept me on the edge of my seat.. can't wait for the next one.

I like the way the recent Halloween stories lead so effortlessly into each other.

A good solid horror movie.

Ojing-eo geim
(2021)

Loved this!!
Absolutely brilliant! Loved it from start to finish, excellent acting (apart from the American actors at the end! Dreadful) Great story, had me hooked.. binged watched the lot!

Looks like they'll be a second series which I can't wait to see! Superb.

Clickbait
(2021)

Excellent!!
Great story telling, keeps you guessing right until the very last episode! Fantastic acting.. all around excellent entertainment! Perfect Binge Material.

Free Guy
(2021)

Superb!!
I haven't been to the cinema since 2019 so this was my first experience in a while and it did not disappoint! I loved this film! Great story, really fun.. Reynolds of course is perfect! Excellent film! An absolute must see.

Vivo
(2021)

Lovely Family Movie!
Great film, really enjoyable. Kids loved it and LMM back with some fantastic songs as well.. so catchy!

Perfect family flick.. excellent!

Downhill
(2020)

Utterly pointless!
This really is a bad movie, slow script, empty characters it's just utterly pointless.. I felt annoyed watching this and limped on thinking it would get better but no it does not get better at all!

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
(2005)

Absolutely Hilarious!
It might seem at first that this is simply rude nonsense but once you get the hang of how 'the gang' deal with every single situation in their lives you'll be hooked!

Haven't laughed this much for a long time.. just loved it and will continue to love it for many years to come (hopefully)
