My Policeman (2022)
For once, the film is better than the book!
I was completely underwhelmed by the novel. In the book there was a gap of 40 years totally unaccounted for., which really annoyed me. Somehow, it didn't seem to matter as much in the film. Possibly the flashback on screen worked better.
Although the acting wasn't Oscar worthy, Emma Corin does a decent job. She played the role with honesty and a certain sensitivity. Unfortunately Harry Styles seemed like he was trying too hard
Although the movie wasn't perfect, there were some very touching moments. It also highlights the extremes difficulty of being different in the 1950s.
I definitely think it played out better than the novel.
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
A good film can still be disappointing
Jurassic World: Dominion was a good action film.
The problem was it had so much to live up to. Being a huge fan of the first film (and Jurassic Word) this definitely fell short of expectations.
I liked the way they brought Dodgson back - after all, he started the mess in JP1, but what do locusts have to do with it?!?
I was so excited for JW3 and there was so much potential, but the film just fell short.
Game of Thrones (2011)
I tried so hard to like it...
After hearing SO MUCH fuss about this programme I sat down and eagerly watched it.
I couldn't even make it to the end of the first episode.
The Story of God with Morgan Freeman (2016)
Very disappointing
I love Morgan Freeman, and actually thought he was an atheist or at least agnostic.... I wanted to watch this to learn more about all types of religion. I thought it was going to be an un-biased approach to religion, in a fair and open way....
"There are billions of us on this plant. It's hard to believe we all came from Adam and Eve... but WE DID"!
I mean... where is any EVIDENCE to back it up? Firstly it's scientifically impossible for this to have been the case, as we would all be inbred. This fact wasn't explored at all. Neither was evolution.
The "scientific experiments" were not controlled, and therefore proved nothing. There wasn't a scrap of actual evidence in the programme. But somehow Morgan told the story as though he had proof - just because writings thousands of years old said so- If that's the case, maybe Harry Potter will be the next coming of Jesus in 1000 years time?
I'm happy to listen to religious beliefs.. but not if they are described as fact.
