Messiah (2020)
I'm an Athiest and this is a great piece of work
As an athiest I suspect I am not the target audience however this is a fantastic show. The mystery is compelling and engaging. I long for a second season.
White Lines (2020)
If it wasn't for the Spanish actors this would be awful
The character Zoe is a hateful person and her acting is very poor. She and her brother spoil what could have been a great view, but whoever cast them should be embarrassed. The Spanish actors show a class above the British and I'm British. No second season for this lame duck.
Another Life (2019)
Whats up with you people. This show is actually very good if you stick with it.
I felt compelled to write a review after I saw the abysmal rating of 4.5
The show, initially, is a slow burner, however really is worth sticking with. It has all the elements of a great Sci-Fi story and I really want to see where they go with it. The only thing that lowers the score for me is Nico's husband. He is an unconvincing choice and was casted incorrectly. Seems like they wanted Aaron Paul for the role and wound up with a soundy and looky likey. Each episode is great in its own right and offers something refreshing in a cluttered Sci-Fi arena. So come on everyone, stick with it and get the score up (at least a 6.7) so we can get a second season at the very least!
One More Time with Feeling (2016)
For Manic Depressives everywhere
Well, I watched this having seen its high rating on IMDb and as a Musician myself I have to say this is the most self indulgent and pretentious artist I have ever heard. I cant take anything away from the Music as this is creatively very accomplished, however the pretentious lyrics, and lyrics just randomly thrown into the mix, are truly awful. Obviously people seem to identify with these ill conceived ramblings, but I just feel he is taking everyone for a ride. Trying to dress it up with an Arty attempt by filming in Black and White is lame.I found the experience on the whole quite depressing.
Maps to the Stars (2014)
Oh Dear
This might not be very eloquent but this is how I feel....
"This film is sh*t"
I could go into more detail, however I have already wasted 2 hours on this weirdo nonsense.
OK so it looks like I am forced to write 10 lines so I will make references to the appalling acting from Evan Bird. His timing and lack of emotional detail is staggeringly woeful. I have also always been a fan of John Cusack films but he picked a wronging here, maybe doing it for the cash! Oh and all the people who scored this film highly I can only say they are as warped as this so called interpretation of Hollywood stars breakdowns. If this is what happens to actors then I say get the hell out of Dodge.
