Dashcam (2021)
Great lead actress, shame about the plot.
The only saving grace to this entire movie is the lead actress, who has a real presence. I like an anti-hero. But honestly, she largely seemed to be doing her own thing amongst a muddled and uninteresting plot. The rest of the actors were very amateurish and the story was too vague and nowhere near engaging enough for the length.
I don't think this needed to be a movie released in cinemas. A YouTube series would be a better fit. It simply wasn't good enough for the big screen, but something to loosely follow to kill time would be a better use of this film.
On the bright side, it was more watchable than Host, thanks to the outstanding lead. I hope she moves onto better projects as I haven't been impressed with what this team have churned out at all.
Everyone else involved should just stick to youtube, to be quite honest.
D.I. Ray (2022)
Bad Script
I was interested in seeing what the Bend it like Beckham actress was up to now. Sadly it turned out to be this. I generously gave it 2 stars because it's hardly her fault, but the dialogue is just atrocious. I understand the need for diversity right now, but probably best to take on someone who can actually write well, because this was pretty terrible. This instantly renders it unwatchable for me personally, though I'm sure there will be people less concerned with that who will enjoy it.
Evil Things (2009)
Hidden gem
I'm not saying this was perfect, but it was very good and definitely one of the better found footage movies out there. Very underrated imo and would recommend for fans of the genre.
Nova Jones (2021)
Throw the whole show in the bin
Goodness me, this show is bad, especially the script. Doesn't surprise me that a previous review mentioned this was written by a middle aged man with no experience of modern kids and it especially doesn't surprise me to learn this dude is usually just a script editor. You can just tell. I'm so sorry to everyone else who had to be involved with this mess. I understand times are hard but this was unnecessary and more than likely will disappear and be forgotten about.
Mischief Night (2006)
Disappointing
I was highly disappointed by this, having enjoyed the previous two Tina films. The others were gritty and shed light on life in British poverty. This one was ridiculous from start to finish. Why oh why would you cast a blonde white girl to play a mixed race character? That's surely offensive, no? Why even make her be mixed race when the previous actress playing the same character was also clearly white. You can't just decide an already existing character is a different race and you especially shouldn't be casting white people to play non-white roles. Whoever did this ought to be ashamed. The whole thing was just nonsense and totally unbelievable, whereas the previous two titles were far more realistic. It's like it tried too hard to move to the comedy genre, but just didn't work. Don't bother, it's rubbish.
