Reacher (2022– )
9/10
If you're a fan, you'll love it
11 February 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Loved the books and the films. Never back down.....hmmmm, maybe. But if you love either, you'll love this. Every episode is as good as the next. Small twists and keeps you guessing on the antagonists.

Annoying bits.

Every episode someone comments on Reachers size. Gorilla, big ape, Giant, haystack, train, dumper truck......alright we get it. Chill out, he's a big guy

The books portray Reacher as smart military man using his wit and experience to track down people or solve puzzles. The episodes do the same but just go a little too far. Like he possesses some sort of superhero power. No one likes cocky smart.

Some of the fighting or shooting scenes don't add up. One minute he's cracking heads all over the place, 4 or 5 big buggers at a time, but when it comes to one of the main scrawny child like villain, the fight goes on for ages and looks like Reacher is struggling.

Overall well done Amazon. Cracking season and disappointed it had to end. Very much looking forward to the next one and the next one.

Some things were unnecessary
23 November 2021
As a die hard ghostbusters fan I was worried about where this would go. The trailer was epic and really looked forward to it with some anticipation. Overall I thought it was a great film. Funny, entertaining, with a really good subtle amount of nostalgia. Unfortunately I don't do 'cheese' very well. At one point in the movie the young Spengler asks for a her phone call and the sheriff replies with 'who ya gonna call'. Ahhh, cringeville cheese town!!! There were a few other cheesy moments that tipped the rating down for me. Great come back from the 2016 bomb and definitely would watch again.

Death Wish (2018)

10% Die Hard 90% made up on the spot!

Talk about fill the gaps to bulk out a film. I also couldnt get my head around John McClane wearing scrubs and is a rich surbarban husband. Nothing really special about this film apart from the head explosion under the car! Looked good and felt pretty good. If anything, watch it so you don't have to put yourself through any planned bum of a sequel.....you know its coming!

Good giggle

Certainly not 10/10 or even 1/10. It's original and good fun. A film that doesn't take itself too seriously. Which is why I'm amazed by the 1/10. Don't expect a blockbuster but a must see. A good night in and a good laugh.

La casa muda (2010)
10/10
World Cinema at its BEST
16 September 2011
Some of these guys who wrote these reviews have no idea. These are the sort of films that separate the men from the boys. The director has done a great job. Hollywood should stay very clear of this film, do not remake it and bloody ruin it like you do with all of the others. This is world cinema at its best. REC springs to mind in this cinematic excellence with Hollywood ruining it with Quarantine.

I agree it is slow, but this adds to the suspense. There are too many films that are being made that feel they have to fill every micro second with blood, guts, screaming females or a chase scene. Be real guys, the simplistic silence, hiding, waiting with the odd note of an untuned piano is what makes the film better than so many others.

It is not an obvious plot as some others have stated. The Director really makes you part of the film and there are only a handful of directors alive today that can do that. Well done. So many people are getting hung up on this one long take. Who cares? I didn't buy it because of that and now that i know that it publicised itself on that one statement...i still don't care. It was great!

I wouldn't say this is in my top 10 of horror/scary films but definitely top 50. Great, scary, jumpy film, one to watch. If Hollywood didn't have as much money, they would have huge competition
