Mr Inbetween (2018)
Thoroughly enjoyed.
Sure, here is a review of Mr Inbetween written as a layman:
Mr Inbetween is a great show. It's funny, it's dark, and it's really well-made. The acting is superb, the writing is sharp, and the directing is top-notch.
The show follows Ray Shoesmith, a hitman who is trying to balance his violent life with his relationships with his family and friends. It's a really interesting premise, and the show does a great job of exploring the dark side of human nature while also finding humor in the most unexpected places.
If you're looking for a new show to watch, I highly recommend Mr Inbetween. It's a unique and compelling show that will stay with you long after you've finished watching it.
Here are some of the things that I liked about the show:
* The characters are complex and relatable. Ray is a fascinating anti-hero who is not easily defined as good or bad. He is capable of great violence, but he also has a strong sense of loyalty and compassion. The supporting cast is also excellent, with Essie Davis, Damon Herriman, and Nicholas Hope all giving memorable performances.
* The writing is sharp and witty. The dialogue is natural and believable, and the characters often have hilarious exchanges.
Series 4 please.
Wednesday (2022)
Pleasantly unexpected
Not sure where to start, the characters are well written the story is well written, the visuals are very well executed, I went into this fully expecting it to be another 10 minute before turning off like many of the releases have been on all platforms of late, but no this had me hooked, it had my mind wandering towards how a scooby story should be written and executed ( unlike the future trash that is on its way) the throwbacks to the original Adams family and the films from the 90s were well placed and subtle, the casting was near on perfect, it's the first thing for a while I had no complaints. Disney Amazon netflix etc etc take note this is what you audience wants.
The Peripheral (2022)
This is how to do it.
I have no idea what the budget for this series was but I can only imagine it was a pittance compared to rings of power yet this absolutely annihilates ROP. So far the story is well executed the acting is on point, the SFX are believable as they're subtle in their obviousness. It amazes me that Amazon can produce a completely new series from scratch and executes it well yet when given something on a platter they completely ruin it.
Chloe's character suits her well and I have high hopes for the coming episodes, if Amazon just sticks to the basics they could do will instead of trying to do things they cannot.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)
Back to basics sort of.
The storytelling of snw is back to how it should be, A metaphore!. The visuals are stunning the acting is surprisingly good with most actors seemingly settled in to their characters. Genuinely have high hopes for this series unlike Picard and Discovery which have been disappointing.
The Wheel of Time (2021)
Started well
I thought the beginning was excellent, unfortunately it went downhill quite quickly, I managed a total of about 5 minutes before switching off. Maybe I will revisit once I've become a snowflake gender neutral feminist. 🤔
Beckett (2021)
Better than Tenet.....just. if you liked tenet windows that need licking are to you're right.
I am waiting for the right roles, John David Washington has it, whatever it is but the roles are alluding him at the moment, but like his dad with either great or ermm wtf was that type roles in sure he will get there, I am a fan he just needs to stay away from sparkling vampires and other such pretentious w4nker5 and he will do extremely well, other than that the film was ok worth a watch if you have nothing else to watch, I at least managed to finish it in 2 sittings opposed to tenet which I still haven't finished🤦
Spirited (2010)
Easy watching worth it
Very easy to watch quite amusing, better than a lot of tripe that currently doing the rounds.
Oprah with Meghan and Harry: A CBS Primetime Special (2021)
Worse than the movie.
I couldn't rate this any lower, she comes across in this piece of fiction as a lying manipulative money grabber while the other actor let's call him PH seems to be a cat whipped deranged individual. The person playing Oprah in my opinion seemed more content looking at the cake stand which was strategically placed near the other two actors..probably....
However it's still a better movie than Twilight.
Harry & Meghan: A Royal Romance (2018)
Awful
Just like real life. Awful. Harry and meghan snarkle bromance a story of greed and lies.
Tenet (2020)
Lowest rating I've ever given for a Nolan film
The premise is good albeit nothing new, the execution and choice of one of the main actors not so much.
When are people going to realise a wooden rocking horse has more acting ability than Robert Pattinson🤷
3 stars and in all honesty I think I'm being generous.
The Last Man on Earth (2015)
Didn't know this existed
Shame it ended where it did, hopefully it'll get picked back up for the final series and luckily nothing like this could happen in real life........... Oh farts
Hubie Halloween (2020)
Wow why?
Honestly it's bad, Adam Sandler used to be mediocre and watchable he has managed to get worse by a long way. What is it with the voice
The Old Guard (2020)
Good solid 8
Enjoyed it, it's far better than a lot of junk that's been released over past couple years, grab a bag of popcorn sir back and enjoy.
Extraction (2020)
Netflix did good
Good enjoyable film, by far their best effort yet.
Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Plenty of flaws but enjoyed it anyway
Wasn't the best but at least it clears up a lot of Rian's mess ups 🤷. Enjoyable fun movie
Venus (2017)
What? Just what!
Absolutely awful movie. Acting was mediocre story line very confused
Mortal Engines (2018)
Awful
Expecting a lot from this film. Obviously expecting way too much 😲
Joker (2019)
Not a DC movie not a good movie 😐
Ok let's make this very clear this has virtually nothing to do with DC.
This film I suspect was going to get made and going to be called Joker regardless of the DC Monika being attached or not, as it is a basically a hash up of king of comedy taxi driver deer hunter etc etc, DC probably thought they may as well endorse it and make a few bucks.Which it will and soo many people are going to boat how great it is because they have been told it is amazing and won't want to look stupid.
As a DC movie it makes absolutely no Sense as a standalone homage to Scorsese nope still makes no sense.
Wu Assassins (2019)
The story of one man's journey home
A story of one man's 500 year epic battle to get home to his family only to be ruthlessly murdered once he's got back to them.
Story. interesting.
Acting. Bad.
Action. Very good.
Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
Great ending to a great story
GOT where to next 😊 I have high aspirations for the prequals that are bound to happen
Aquaman (2018)
I really wanted to like this
It was ok, and here is the problem with DC ATM(Shazam excluded) everything DC does is just ok, I am DC over marvel when it comes to the comics or animation but marvel nailed it for the movies, they do silly little things like deaging someone and making it look believable, that was enough to spoil the film for me I could not immerse myself into the film because of that.
Shazam! (2019)
Just go watch it
Doesn't matter if you like comics, this was a very well written fun film, but still had plenty of references for comic fans
Love, Death & Robots (2019)
Very well done
Amazing short animations, keep you interested for just the right amount of time. Still a better film than gravity.. You'll understand when you see it 😁
Captain Marvel (2019)
It was ok
I wouldn't class this film either ground breaking or Marvel's usual quality. It was ok, worth the watch to tie in to the rest of the mcu, worth the ticket price? So so. Send to me to be trying hard to be gotg which it failed at, brie Larson? Again not sure but the character is young let's see if she can develop it, my initial feeling is no, but hey what do I know I've been wrong plenty of times 😁
