Dewbs & Co. (2021)
Loose Women on Another Channel
It often frustrates me that Loose Women (similar to The View in the USA) gives a massive platform to people who are unqualified for a position of such responsibility.
Dewbs & Co is the same. Why has this, clearly not particularly intelligent woman been given such a platform? The only saving Grace compared to Loose Women Michelle Dewberry has a tiny audience. I mainly watch it for comedic value.
People like Dewberry and the odious Andrew Pierce, who appears on the same channel, really would benefit from looking at themselves. They do not know themselves. It is very plain to see. Unfit for TV, more suited to several hoursona psychologist's couch.
Smile (2022)
6.5 because of the Ending
This horror was both enjoyable and entertaining. The acting was good and kept me engaged. My main problem with horror film is when you feel that you've seen it all before. Smile had some nice moments it as it got to the final stages,?things started to really deteriorate.
I'm not saying that it was cliche-ridden claptrap but it was getting there. To be honest, I could guess the ending. Such a shame when you want to be pleasantly surprised by something different or something clever.
Then there's the special effects. They were poor. Better effects in a game. I lose my engagement with the film when it's that bad.
Such a shame. A good watch, but not a great watch and certainly a horror I will not give a second viewing.
Hating Peter Tatchell (2021)
Ridiculous Music Volume
Almost unwatchable. An interesting documentary utterly ruined by the level of music whilst the speech is continuing. I tried every setting on my TV but nothing worked. What a shame. Do the producers not check this? Perhaps the involvement of Elton John and David Furnish placed a real bias on the music, I don't know, but it truly is overbearing. The actual documentary is excellent and is full of clips from the past. It also illustrates the damage religion did and continues to do. It moves at a good pace and features some national treasures such as Ian McKellen and many brave people who had a much tougher time than people have now.
Lightning (2021)
Ridiculous Idea
Zoe Lyons is pleasant and clear speaking enough but what a flawed format.
I appreciate the element of luck in quizzes but what is the point in someone taking up most of the time getting lots of questions wrong , then nominating someone else in the last remaining seconds who is then eliminated even though they may be more knowledgeable?
Also, why do people who lack basic general knowledge apply for quiz shows? Go on Catchphrase or Tipping Point and give others with decent knowledge a chance.
The final round works well but other than that, plain daft.
Close Encounters of the Fifth Kind (2020)
Insane
Insane. Ridiculous. Gave it some stars for comedic value.
