Here we go again
Pity I can't give it 0 stars. The female lead really likes to hear herself talk. Most of what she says could be said by Ashley Bloomfield who is actually standing next to her as she says it. Should contain a mental health warning at the beginning of each episode so people are aware of the harm it can do if they watch it.
Maiden Voyage (2004)
Painful
I'm not one for NZ movies to begin with and this came in a 4 pack of DVDs containing one movie I wanted, so I wasn't aware the cast was pretty much straight out of Shortland Street - believe me, once you've seen someone on that poor excuse of a programme it's hard to take them seriously in anything else. It was ridiculous seeing the now decommissioned Arahura as a cruise ship in America with a mainly NZ cast and the name of the ship not even covered for filming - seriously, did they think people couldn't see the name and wouldn't realise that it was different to what the ship was meant to be called???? I actually laughed out loud when I saw it then turned it off! I feel sorry for the main American lead having to film with such amateurs - it must have been an excruciating experience. If they allowed you to give less than a 1-star rating I would have because it's not even good enough for 1-star.
Pixels (2015)
Waste of Time
I went to see this with my nephew who enjoyed it, however I found myself with my head in my hands saying "oh my god" on multiple occasions and wishing I was elsewhere. The whole movie was predictable and completely beyond the realm of possibility. There was no character development, there wasn't really any story development, and I'm also wondering about the cast = Adam Sandler, his wife, two of his daughters, and his nephew...nepotism anyone?? Did the last four only get their roles because of Adam Sandler?? The whole movie was cheesy and unentertaining. Most kids movies have multiple lessons in them but the only thing that came out of this was not to cheat - and that was only a minor thing.
