Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
Became too repetitive, skipped to the finish
I have heard about the fame of this British film over the years so decided to give it ago, I am familiar with the genre, notting hill, love actually etc so thought I knew what i was going to expect.
The main drawbacks for me were the leading actress, seemed like 'the girl they got because they couldnt get Julia Roberts' actress, along with Charles' immense lack of pride, he runs after this woman like a dog after a bone, even after she said she is marrying some old scottish dude, but he still sleeps with her again.
It's a shame films are promoting promiscuities like cheating as such a positive thing, i think it sends the wrong message.
After the third wedding and my girlfriend starting to fall asleep we both agreed we were a bit bored of it so skipped to the end to see the predictable 'they got together' finish before the cheesy photographs.
Wouldn't watch again however were some laughs at the start so gave it a 3.
Eat Wheaties! (2020)
Surprisingly decent watch
I watched this for Tony Hale (Buster Bluth) and became engrossed pretty quickly, a middle aged "loser", single, decent job but life isn't on track compared to others, misuses social media and finds himself in a world of bother with an old friend turned celebrity.
It has a lot of positive feels throughout despite being a sad story which would have destroyed most people. Tony's character seems to remain positive throughout. It would have been nice to see an appearance from Banks herself.
There where one or two moments that seemed a little unrealistic for me which is why I knocked it down to 8 and other moments which needed a little further explanation..
I personally don't see this as a movie....maybe a series???
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023)
Positive feedback reports are probably just jokes.
The acting was poor, it felt like a British 'have a go at' Blair witch but with fat dudes in weird masks, the plot was weak, the acting was terribly poor and felt so unnatural it just felt like everything was left to the first take.
The murder scenes were overly and unnecessarily grousome.
These girls put themselves into strange situations like totally unnatural...why would you not just get out of the pool?
If I met someone who I didn't like I'd recommend it to them.
Why did one girl have a gun? Yeah I get she was stalked but a gun??? In the UK, and no one asked any questions...but she didn't get up and say oi I've got a gun stop killing my friends.
Weird film overall.
Paw Patrol: Ready, Race, Rescue! (2019)
An okay short movie with a tired concept
Okay so putting it simply, my 4 year old boy loved this movie, he wanted to watch it again which is great, however as someone who had endured, sorry, watched, many episodes of paw patrol with him I was hoping for something different.
Initially I thought the pups would be racing each other and travelling across the globe saving the day so I was disappointed to see the human racers, the same old, someone gets stuck, pups save them repeats throughout and the cliche message of "cheaters never win" and "hard work pays" is recycled as always. It would have been nice to see something different but you can tell this was just another excuse to release more merch.
So many questions like, why is Marshall racing if he is the clumsy one? Why is Marshalls vehicle so powerful and faster than the Cheetahs super car? Why did pressing the breaks, skidding and reversing get Marshall ahead of Cheetah? My 4 year old isn't yet smart enough to ask these questions although from the start he knew "marshall is going to win".
If you had a child who watches paw patrol, they will probably enjoy it, but be prepared to buy more toys!!
You People (2023)
The same subject over and over again
A decent cast made, along with clips shared online, me think this was going be something special, it turned out to be a disappointment. The super-unrealistic constant judgment of a mixed colour relationship was the only real plot to this film like, we're in the 21st century no one really cares about what colour your girlfriend is any more. Some of the music was really good and there were very few funny clips but me and my partner just kept pausing it, coming back to it, pausing it and eventually gave up with about 30 minutes to go.
The only true message received is tyhat Eddie Murphy's character proves some groups are just as racist as others.
The Lost Daughter (2021)
Good acting in a pretty dull film.
Coleman was able to display the stress of parenthood very well and her acting was brilliant through, as is standard with her work.
The film also managed to highlight issues relating to depression well, however, parts of the film were quite unimaginative which lead to an unsatisfying finale.
