Memory (I) (2022)
7/10
average flick with classic neeson backhanders and slaps
2 June 2024
There is nothing wrong with this movie but it makes a pretty average impact on you.

I did however love the way Australian actor Guy Pearce masters the Texas accent and plays an FBI agent, and i love it when Liam Neeson slaps people (crooks) around. At 70 years of age, Neeson comes across as an artist of hand combat. Slap, bang, smash. Love it.

The story is about a hitman and a couple of cops who both feel a wrong needs to be corrected because a 13 year old Mexican girl is assassinated. The hitman refused to kill her originally, and guy pearce was trying to take care of her girl after he accidentally killed her crooked father, who was selling her to strangers for sex.

Worth viewing: Yes Something to get excited about: Not really.

Thy Neighbor (2018)
9/10
surprisingly brilliant
31 May 2024
I wasn't going to watch this movie at first because of the weak subject matter etc, but it hooked me in and i watched it all. Often skipping backwards and forwards to check stuff. It was well written. I loved the acting by all, especially the woman who played amber. She was brilliant and every so sexy too. The story was simple but good. The movie was low budget but this was a gem. I loved the faded out bits. Well done, all involved. I love being behind the camera when i watch movies. Was such a pleasant surprise. I would best movie i have seen this week. I told ya, it hooked me in with the suspense and intrigue.

9/10
real life stories are often the best
29 December 2023
What a fabulous little flick about such an amazing character who at age 67 decides to go to utah to try to break the land-speed record with an old bike that is 43 years old. Anthony hopkins makes this movie an absolute gem. He is reasonable as a kiwi as well. I kept seeing russel crowe in the way anthony hopkins portrayed a kiwi. I have not seen a full good movie like this for some time. What makes it extra special that is is an amazing story based on real life.

Burt munro is a legend not just in new zealand but around the world. How he accomplished this incredible feat is inspiring amazing and beautiful. 9/10 from me.

Piercing (2018)
5/10
confusing
14 July 2023
I was so confused and not hearing some words did not help either.

The story did not make any sense to me a few times. Did his wife know? Did the prostitute know what was going on before she read his booklet?

I thought it was poorly done and silly generally.

What bothered me even more was the fact that I could not make out what the actors said a few times. I had to rewind it and guess. How could errors like that be missed completely.

To me the movie made no sense at all, was too disjointed, and poorly acted as well. Mind you, i can't blame the actors too much, as i cannot imagine the script was that good anyhow.

I gave it 5 stars out of 10. I think i was too generous now.

Love/Hate (2010–2014)
9/10
Not bad Irish crime drama
22 May 2023
Love/8 is an Irish TV series about young men involved in crime drugs guns it is pretty well done it has some quite unexpected moments and instead of getting worse as the seasons go on it's sort of got better which is which is the plus because most TV series that seem to get worse as the seasons go on but this one had the reverse effect that I was quite impressed with it and I thought that the acting was pretty was pretty good as well. I'm recording this on my phone and I'm going to translated into text which I'm then going to give to Bard and ask Bard if it can rewrite it for me a Bard is Google's version of gpt-4 chat. So I'm not going to edit this I'm going to leave that see sometimes I repeat myself like said quite pretty or something like that but I'm not going to edits it I'm going to let bar fix it up for me. I'm also going to leave all that in as well so bad can reference itself. The storyline was well written and like I said before well acted and it seems quite real I actually thought it once I maybe I'm ready watching a group of crooks talks in Ireland in Dublin

Love/Hate is an Irish crime drama television series that aired on RTÉ One from 2010 to 2014. The series follows the lives of a group of Dublin criminals, and their attempts to make money and stay alive in the world of organized crime.

The series was created by Stuart Carolan, and stars Tom Vaughan-Lawlor, Killian Scott, Aoibhinn McGinnity, Charlie Murphy, and Peter Coonan. Love/Hate has been praised for its realistic portrayal of the world of organized crime, and for its strong performances from the cast.

The series has been nominated for and won numerous awards, including the Irish Film and Television Award for Best Drama Series. Love/Hate is considered to be one of the most important and influential Irish television series ever made.

Here are some of the things that you mentioned about the series that I agree with:

The storyline is well written. The series is very well-paced, and the characters are complex and believable.

The acting is excellent. The cast all give outstanding performances, and they really bring the characters to life.

The series seems quite real. The series does a great job of portraying the world of organized crime, and it doesn't shy away from the violence and the ugliness of that world.

Overall, I think Love/Hate is a fantastic series. It's well-written, well-acted, and very realistic. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys crime dramas.

BARD added his own thoughts

Here are some of the things that I disagree with:

You said that the series got better as the seasons went on. I disagree with this. I thought that the first season was the best, and that the series declined in quality as it went on.

You said that the acting was pretty good. I disagree with this. I thought that the acting was excellent, and that the cast all gave outstanding performances.

Overall, I think Love/Hate is a great series, but I disagree with some of the things that you said about it.

The Wall (2019– )
6/10
got a bit monotonous after awhile.
27 April 2023
I found season one was quite good 7/10 but s2 was a flop and i could not watch s3. The characters were weak and poorly acted. The whole thing was too much of the same.

"The Wall" is a crime drama series that revolves around a police officer and her team as they investigate various cases in Montreal. The series was created by Martin Michaud and stars Maripier Morin, Julianne Côté, and Sophie Desmarais.

I don't speak french so i had to pause play a lot to catch up with the subtitles at times. The french speak nearly as fast as the spanish.

S1 was entertaining, s2 was okay, s3, I had had enough of it and their fake stories that sound too unbelievable and poorly acted by some of the cast.

Penoza (2010–2017)
8/10
crazy drama non-stop
13 April 2023
This woman "carmen" does nothing 'wrong', but is involved in a multitude of crimes and killings all in the name of protecting her family even thou she loses 2 husbands, a father and a sister. A bit unrealistic at times but a good drama to watch that is full on and entertaining. They probably milked it for a bit too long (5 seasons). The first 2 seasons are the best. Carmen is portrayed beautifully. She is a standout in the acting department in this series. Some of the acting for nat, luciene, and storm is a bit weak at times. Berry plays his role well. As i said they story lines goes off the rails the further the series goes which is really quite normal. Overall it was a decent watch.
