Passchendaele (2008)
Absolute Cheese
Wooden acting. Historical inaccuracies. Dreadful dialogue.
This utter cheese platter of a film hits it's peak with the scene where the guy is miraculously blown from a trench to appear crucified on a a plank of wood above the German Trench. The hero obviously runs into hundreds of Germans to rescue his friend, luckily the Germans kindly agree to stop firing and let him carry his crucified chum back, like some awful parody of Passion of the Christ.
But my absolute favourite part is the promise the two main characters keep making to eachother throughout the film which is "don't die"....surely this has to be an inside joke from that scene in Team America?
It's so bad at trying to be a poignant war film it's almost funny to watch. Pure cheese from start to finish.
Ricky Gervais: SuperNature (2022)
Ricky's getting lazy
Really lazy writing in this one, there are bits where he more or less tells the exact same jokes as in his previous show Humanity.
His delivery is still good but there's nothing new in it at all it's just the same topics as before; him being rich, fat people, trans people, AIDs and being an atheist.
Also I find the way he talks about his Twitter feuds in every show so dull. Change the record Ricky.
Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel (2021)
Another Netflix Flop
Another boring Netflix documentary that could have been 30 minutes long.
4 hours of a bunch of internet virgins making up conspiracy theories about a fairly obvious case.
By episode two even the detectives involved seem bored with being asked questions about.
Waste of time and another Netfix documentary that tries to be all dark and tense but is actually just a load of irrelevant filler.
Avoid
The Limey (1999)
Terrible
Dreadful film. A few terrible things about it....
The cliche cockney rhyming slang they shoehorn into the script, the way it cuts between different shots while someone is giving one piece of dialogue like one minute he's playing pool next sentence he's sat down then he's back playing pool again... Doesn't make sense, the abysmal acting throughout by the two leads, the awful flash back cutaways from a different film, they way he refers to his daughter liking the sea because she's 'from an island' (London isn't exactly a fishing town)..just lazy writing all round.
The ending is also atrocious.. after everything be does during the film he then lets him go? What?
Absolute garbage.
