Spree (2020)
Could have been interesting
The film could have been interesting but I didn't make it to the end. I think I lasted thirty minutes and got fed up with the constant references to race.
Monsters of Man (2020)
A film of two halves
I'll keep it simple. First half was very good, great CGI, some decent action and kept me interested. Second half was way too long, lacks any kind of interesting action, too much whining, too much f'ing unnecessary language. Like others here I agree the film was too long and needed to end at least 20 earlier.
Aquaman (2018)
A confused mess
What a strange film. I didn't really know what to expect as I wasn't familiar with aquaman at all. But I just found the film an odd and confused mess that didn't make any logical sense on any level and the CGI is overblown and distracting. Two hours of my life wasted.
Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017)
Its okay
It's an okay film. It's got Spiderman in it, but is it a Spiderman film? I'm in the over 40's category so I found quite a few things which didn't seem to fit well into the movie. It feels to me like it's a Disney thing.. I made a joke about 20 minutes into the film about the Death Star making an appearance and a few minutes later there it was the Death Star from Star Wars in Spiderman. And the not to discrete political woke message about slavery which was in my opinion unnecessarily inserted into an 'entertainment' film is never a welcome thing.
Black Box (2020)
Unexpected gem, massive thumbs up
I watched half the trailer, it pressed a few of my horror/suspense buttons so stopped the trailer and I popped it on. The film wasn't quite what I expected, it was a hell of a lot better than I expected and took me places I never expected. I was completely hooked by it from start to finish, even the girlfriend got into it.
I guessed a few of the twists and turns but even this didn't affect my enjoyment.
Love's Kitchen (2011)
Definitely a 7/10 film
Obviously filmed on a low budget, I almost turned it off within the first minute thinking 'what is this cr@p' but suddenly found myself getting drawn in chuckling and laughing out loud. It's far from perfect and not exactly polished to Hollywood standards but a very enjoyable and likeable film. And if you're British and over 40 you'll see so many famous faces that you'll be straight on IMDB remembering the old days :-D
The Neighbor (2017)
I enjoyed it, my partner didn't :-)
I'm only writing my review to balance out the one star reviews. The film wasn't quite what I expected, it was a little slower than I would have liked but overall I enjoyed it. Acting was good all round.
Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse (2015)
Highly entertaining
Just what I needed after giving up on Blade runner 2049 on Amazon prime after one hour of a nothingness yawn fest.
Scouts guide is fast paced fun, highly recommended. Reminds me of Ross Nobel's Stitches horror comedy.
Screenwipe: Antiviral Wipe (2020)
What ever happened to the old Charlie Brooker
I miss the old cruelty zoo style Charlie Brooker, what has TV land done to the man.
Upload (2020)
Pretty much TV perfection for a nerd like me
Funny, entertaining, touching, sometimes weird (in a good way) and so many nice little touches. As others have said it's a bit like some of the Black Mirror episodes.
First time I've heard of Andy Allo and I didn't realize that Arrow had a brother. Excellent choice of leads and pretty all casting is spot on.
I just watched the whole series in two nights and I don't usually do that kind of thing.
A bit gutted to be left hanging right at the end, you cruel cruel people, bring on series two, lol
Hunters (2020)
It is confused but I found it entertaining
My partner made me watch it but I have to say overall I actually enjoyed it. I ended up being the one wanting to watch the next episode.
I did find a few things a bit off:
The random outbursts of language.
The comic book character scenes.
Sometimes slow.
Episode 7 was a complete snorefest.
Its sometimes confused, is it serious or is it action or is it comedy or is it power rangers with nazis?
Good points:
Mostly enjoyable and entertaining.
Some good and likeable characters.
Some interesting back stories.
Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020)
One word - Bland
I enjoyed suicide squad but found this film pretty bland from start to finish. Too much emphasis on long drawn out fight scenes and not enough creative content. Also a bit too much 'girl power'.
And I was looking forward to seeing Mary Elizabeth Winstead but felt that she didn't suit her character. She's fabulous in Brain Dead.
A Perfect Getaway (2009)
It was alright until the twist
Basic review.. I was enjoying the film until the twist happened then I just found the rest hard to watch.. so hard I turned it off because I didn't care how it ended.
Carnival Row (2019)
Don't judge from the 1st episode
Im three episodes in and now enjoying carnival row and looking forward to the next episode. For me the first episode wasn't overly entertaining, a bit too Hollywood/Disney preachy. Now it's finally at the point where the story has kicked in and I can lie back and enjoy and be entertained.
The Interview (2014)
Awful
Best way to sum this film up is to simply say I'm glad I watched it on Amazon so I don't feel like I've been robbed.
I thought I would have enjoyed it but I didn't even get to the end.
John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)
The film is nonsense
So many problems, including boredom and repetitiveness and wooden acting. But biggest problem for me was I didn't like or care about or have any connection with John Wick or and of the other characters so I didn't care or worry about who got slaughtered.
Death at a Funeral (2007)
My kind of humour
Brilliant film, very funny from start to finish. If you enjoy the trailer it's definitely worth watching.
The Woman (2011)
More frustrating than entertaining
Basically the film was ok and actually looked promising but went downhill for me just as i thought it was getting going. Good film up to the finger biting scene then it all went a bit flat.
The frustration I mention in my review title comes from the audio. I had to watch the film with my finger poised on the volume control. I know it's low budget but the music soundtrack is loud and awful and there were sections where the film was flicking between people quietly whispering and people shouting or screaming and then the awful music starts screaming again. Basically sound levels need tweaking and soundtrack needs replacing.
