Scorpion (2014–2018)
2/10
Pretty Awful
17 November 2016
I watched the whole first series because I thought it would improve, but it was just lacking so many aspects that a good series should have! Good script, great acting, and suspense. This show's first season had none of those things. The acting was OK at best at some points, a lot of the situations were very unrealistic and far-fetched. The humor I also did not understand and the high intelligence that these characters apparently have is really not reflected with their actions.

Overall I was not impressed at all and I find that it is easily forgettable when you compare it to similar and better series out there. (Person of Interest, Black Mirror etc)

Skyfall (2012)
10/10
Stunning!
26 October 2012
I went to see this film on the premier opening night at the Xtreme Screen At Vue. Full capacity, sold out and excellent atmosphere. The whole film is just a wow factor throughout. Daniel Craig's grittiness matches the dark essence of the film. The acting was spot on throughout and the effects could not be flawed and were some of the very best I have ever seen. It feeds into previous bond films showing respect to the 50 year anniversary of the biggest franchise in the world.

Light humour every known and again gives the audience a sense that the film is not taking itself to seriously. Overall this film is simply a must see movie, and arguably the best bond film of all time, except for gold finger.

Hardcore Pawn (2009–2015)
8/10
Don't See What The Problem Is
24 October 2012
I found out about this show when me and my family were browsing through the Sky Channels and we found this. I have heard and seen many other similar shows but non of them ever really appealed to me. As we started watching the drama and the situations that go on there were actually extremely funny. I understand that some or even all of it may be fake but to be honest no show is perfect. The stories and characters are quite interesting and you want to know what is going to happen next after each episode.

Overall I would give this show a chance, it might not be everyone's humour but yeah give it a go.

Waterloo Road (2006– )
6/10
Now I Don't Know What To Think
22 October 2012
OK I have been watching Waterloo Road for quite a long time now. Back in the day this is what everyone was watching and I could understand why. It was very entertaining with the characters having their own dedicated episode at times and other factors of school life. But from 2009 to now I don't really know what to make of the programme anymore. The characters have all changed and so had the management. The issues that came up with either too far or unrealistic. And now the programme is quite unrealistic to me. I personally don't understand why they changed so much and involved diar situations like murder, fire and freak accidents that you simply wouldn't see. Also the situations between characters are also verging on either weird or simply cheesy which I simply cannot watch because I am embarrassed for them. Overall Im still watching but I think that it is unfortunate in what is happening with the programme overall now.

Hunted (2012)
8/10
Interesting
17 October 2012
Well I am a big fan of spooks and when I saw the trailer on BBC HD I was quite excited to see what was new and if this programme still had that sort of feel about it. When I watched the first episode there was very little chatter among characters and the story line seemed to be missing. The acting is very good among everyone but at the moment in time I was a bit disappointed. The next episode told us a bit more but I have realised that all of the episodes give very little information away about the characters and the story line itself, Its basically given in spoonfuls. I think that this sort of programme builds up eventually and thats what its starting to do now which gets more exciting to find out new facts and watch.

Overall I think that this programme is interesting and that people should not be put off with the slow build up to the plot. Be patient and we all may be very surprised and impressed towards the end of the season or throughout episodes.

Disgraceful
24 September 2012
I really don't understand the reason of making this at all. I find it quite insulting that anyone would even try and match the original programme. No disrespect to American broadcasting but the ultimate question is why? The cast is overall weird and the programme is poorly acted and constructed, ad least try and re brand it but do things different instead of trying to copy the original series directly. Oveall this is not worth watching and another season probably wont be made.

Its just overall insulting and even the preview on here and especially you-tube people were already annoyed with this programme.

Epic Movie (2007)
1/10
Just Why?
24 September 2012
I have never really understood why people even bother making films like this. They are predictable, annoying and just not funny. In this movie I laughed maybe once and that was it.

I think making movies like this is just a waste of money and time. Its obvious what the outcome is going to be so why make them is a mystery to be honest. Whatever you do DO NOT WATCH IT! I will save you valuable time!

The acting is poor, the jokes and humour would only appeal to around 1% of the population if that. Overall a terrible experience and why I sat through all of it is still a mystery to me today.
