Young Woman and the Sea (2024)
So emotional
I hadn't heard of this film nor had I heard of Trudy Ederle, to my shame. This film was recommended to me by my boss so I watched while in a hotel room whilst travelling for work. Oh boy I'm so glad I did! Obviously we know the outcome given this is what the film is all about, but I found myself cheering her on, really routing for her . At the epic end I was literally saying come on Trudy and willing her on! Superb film. Superb subject, script, and cast. This film made me laugh and made me cry! ... a real triumph both in the movie and for Trudy herself, who is an absolute hero for all sports but especially for women . Outstanding!
The Ex-Wife (2022)
Enjoyable but not mind blowing!
I actually quite enjoyed this one. I had guessed the twist in episode three which was a bit disappointing as I like to be surprised, but other than that it was quite good! The characters were likeable enough and the premise was good.
The downside was that the lead would keep leaving her baby with anyone! Utter rubbish on this score. The husband was also very lack lustre. How two beautiful, strong women fall for him after he utters a few whispered sentences in their ears, is totally beyond me. He is smarmy and a sleeze ball and I cannot comprehend how these woman not only don't see through him, but fall for his "charms" every single time!! And I really didn't like the smirking sister. She really needed to be taken down a leg or two!
The Lost City (2022)
Had to turn it off!
I'm a sucker for a cheesy movie and expected this to be a good example. I love Sandra , so will watch most things she is in. I expected something along the lines of Miss Congeniality. I really wasn't expecting much from this just a cheesy chick flick that you can veg in front of and not have to engage the brain and be mildly entertained. What I saw was truly awful. Like, really really bad, not even Brad could save this. For a film that really had a stellar cast with great acting talent, this was truly awful. I had to turn off after half an hour as I asked myself if I cared about any of the characters or what happened to them or cared about what happened next. After I asked myself that question and got a resounding no! I switched off!!!
How It Ends (2018)
Are you actually kidding me?
How it ends should have a question mark after "how it ends?" Because the director sure didn't know. He just left it mid movie. What a pile of poo! An absolute complete waste of time. Do yourself a favour. Don't bother.
The Five (2016)
Unexpected
I agree this could have been made in 5 possibly 6 episodes so felt a bit drawn out. But what a programs. Was very engrossing, not too much violence to endure, although does go on in the background. I did not expect the ending and am sat here completely chocked up. Bravo.
To Be the Best (1991)
Utter tripe
I was so disappointed in this... I adore the trilogy of books, and really enjoyed the first two instalments. What the hell was this? Paula is now American. There is a break in at the store. Paula has an affair. Shane does not understand Paula's duties.... Utterly awful!!! Leave well alone!
Open Water (2003)
Not great
The film itself what's the bad. I liked the storyline, it was clearly low budget but you put yourself in their shoes, or find, and you understand how they must be feeling. But, the characters were awful. You didn't get to know them first nor did you really care about them. The acting was truly terrible. Plus, given the ending, how the hell does anyone know what happened?after they dive off the boat, the rest is just theory!
Hollington Drive (2021)
Very boring
I did watch all 4 episodes... I usually love the two lead actresses and the other programs they have appeared in... but this one was truly awful. It was almost as if the actresses had been directed to appear as wooden as possible! The story itself was a good story just very badly executed and we have seen it all before!!!!
The Tomorrow War (2021)
Enjoyable
It isn't though provoking.... It's easy entertainment for a Sunday afternoon. Just sit back and enjoy it for what it is!
Taken (2008)
Best action film for a long time
Killing isn't to be condoned.... But hell, I enjoyed the killing in this movie!
Shockwave (2017)
So bad it's almost good!
This has to be , hands down, the worst disaster film I have ever seen. It was so bad, it prompted me to join just so I could write a review!!!! I laughed my entire way through! The extremely poor CGI kept me watching. Not laughed so much in ages!!!!
