The Mummy (2017)
7/10
Is it Horror or a Comedy
5 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Tom Cruise is good, but its a ripoff of America Werewolf in London with the dead friend Its worth a watch in 3D I hope Russell got paid a good wedge for making this film The effects are decent Still prefer Brendon Frasers films, is this a sort of remake comedy and horror The one who played the mummy was very "Stiff" I suppose Tom fancied doing something a bit fun.

But why does all the Mummy films end up in England?

The living dead seem to have a lot of life left in them And who decided 600 characters thats a lot of stuff to write about a very average film 30 left now 21 nope 14 or wait. 5 you say.

The Shrink Next Door: The Family Tree (2021)
Season 1, Episode 5
8/10
Its Real Life you know
23 July 2022
A lot of people say "this could not not happen" in the US people live their lives by what a shrink tells them People who want to kill themselves go to shrinks to try to help them This Story reminds me of Romance Fraud, Marty was groomed by Ike. And finding out Marty is so rich, was a massive bonus.

What happens when people join cults is this not the same thing.

So people YES it does happen, Marty is lonely so he is easy to groom, each time Ike makes the bonds stronger. In the end Marty has zero non material in his world other then Ike. As Marty said "we are family" so of course even if its crazy he will do anything to keep Ike. Its like a druggie needing his fix, and that fix is Ike.

Shock, Horror Cage has not forgotten how to act
3 November 2021
Best Acting film he has done for ages, seems to look a lot older in this, mind u we are all getting older 🙄 This is a good film, with a very surprising twist halfway through Its not just a surface bang bang film Its pretty deep, and we found it pretty moving in some parts.

There is Bad and there is this
3 November 2021
The acting is truly awful, as for the one playing Ming, please go back to drama school, a lump of cardboard would have acted better.

This true story deserved a lot better actors to tell it.

SPOILER WARNING I am writing this quick review at 06:30 on the day after seeing the film, I had to, as I cant sleep, my mind cant forget the emotion at the end of the film I turned to Steph and said rather loudly "they have f killed James Bond" how can any future film match the emotions of that. Daniel Craig has done what no baddie could do in 60 years. But has he also killed the Golden Egg, the whole franchise??

How can I ever watch Casino Royale or any Bond film knowing, they killed James Bond. So Daniel u returned to kill James Bond, WHY??? Is this why Danny Boyle done a runner? How can any future film any future actor match that???

Bond is 60 next year, so am I, I grew up with Bond, am a massive fan, Craig is my favourite Bond, Casino Royale was my favourite film, but now do I hate Craig? Is NTTD the best or worst film? Did I ever think I would leave the cinema crying as we all were? Never This is why they wanted it on a Big Screen so much with am audience, on your TV it would not have had that emotion and also most people will go back to the cinema and watch it again to try to handle what Craig has done. This film will make money as people who are not big fans will have 2 see it for themselves to believe what they have been told. And kudos to everyone who worked on that film keeping quiet. Yes there were rumours but it was only in the last few scenes that I actually believed they were going there. And they did the missiles and "let me tell you a story about Bond James Bond. Time to listen to the soundtrack and I def have to return to Piz Gloria the Bond between NTTD and OHMSS will last forever As one review said It will be hard to forget the power of No Time to Die's ending.

James Bond is dead,

Young Rock (2021–2023)
10/10
The Rock in his own Unique Way
18 September 2021
People usually write books about their life, and it might get turned into a film. But nope the Rock does things different, a TV show with him in it at the start telling the truth then his voice as the show is on.

Why a 10 from me?

Ok I love the Rock, I love the older wrestlers, and seeing all the old stars like his Dad the Dog, Flair, the Giant etc, is just so dam cool Rock talks about stealing and the bad things he done, so respect to him for doing that It's full of humour, and the cast are superb A lot of people say the Rock has forgotten his wrestling roots, but this proves he has not Also in real life he is such a good person, ever heard a bad word said about the Rock?

And of course I just love the Rock, have have his t-shirts from the WWF days that's why a 10.

The Tube

I was travelling up to London from Essex from age 11 to nearly 59 years old. It was something I had to do, was not a big fan, dirty, squashed on the dreaded Central Line, but as with most things in life, when it's gone you miss it. Started working from home, and now actually miss the daily routine, so this series in very interesting. Like in episode 2, "Mind The Gap" I know Embankment with well, but never realised that is the only platform I now hear that male voice.

This is F Great
29 August 2021
This is Real Life, Hackney, Gants Hill, my manor as they say. And they mention the Best team on the planet , The Arsenal The acting is very good, mind you if this goes to the US, will need a dictionary to understand it.

And the language is a bit "fruity" but it's real life, go past Hackney Marshes on a Sunday and there are loads of games going on.

This is what football used to be "Real" not controlled by money and Billionaires, it was the People's game, Even Rio grew up in East London, this was his manor also.

Some funny lines, but even a total brainless idiot would think about cancelling his credit cards.

And he is meant to be a professor.

Fun
19 August 2021
There are not many shows these days that are just "Fun to watch" this is it. It's totally cuckoo and I love it, shame they got rid of Ray Palmer, but Mick Rory is just brilliant and to think he was in Prison Escape. They should also bring back his partner in crime, Leonard.

Great Fun Series.

Well

Warning: Spoilers
Other then not having a clue, what the film was actually about, it was quite good, decent acting, were they in like the Matrix? And why did she want to be re-born, as he would be there, in this life she killed him?

I'm confused :-(

And the Oscar goes to
12 August 2021
I sort of admire Nick Cage, he don't care about awards, quality acting, great writing, making good films. But in the past he made a few decent efforts.

All he seems to care about now is trying to make the worst film ever, and he is getting closer with this stunning effort.

The most annoying thing about this film is the dam songs, they get in your head.

Also got to respect Nick in this one he can't even be bothered to talk, Total Respect to the Great Nick Cage.

Wish Man (2019)
10/10
What a Great Great Film
12 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I did not know the story, had never heard of the man, but have watched WWE for many years and John Cena him doing 100s of Make a Wish and now this film ties it all up. Lovely acting from actors I have not seem much of. It's a true story. Which will touch your heart.

I don't often give a film a 10, but can't fault this, it's amazing how one act of kindness created what I have been seeing for years for many thousands of kids, truly amazing.

This is Getting Lost like Lost
28 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I remember at the end of the 1st season of Lost, we was promised that they were not Dead, well guess what it turned out they were Is this another Lost, Great idea, but not a clue how to end it?

This is very watchable, clever, but got a horrible feeling they are all Dead, a total cop-out ending like Lost.

Could Happen
17 July 2021
When you read about the shocking shootings in US schools, on a regular basis who knows if this could happen or not?

Or maybe this film will give people ideas?

The ending was the right ending, but I suppose could shock people As for the lockdown also happens in the UK in some buildings Decent film, pulls no punches, but she is a bit of a Jane Bond.

Hammer House of Horrors Returns
17 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
It's not bad, but very British, the hook 4 hot babes, cheap British horror film, so they must get their kit off, but they don't, but instead we get a 1 min girl on girl action. Totally not needed Yes their are lots of stories like this, last year we had a big series on Sky, with sort of the same storyline.

Lots of little villages in the UK, with lots of strange ways

it's watchable cheap, and not as bad as some have said. But it's not a Wicker Man, but it's ok.

Worst One Yet
6 July 2021
Six was the best, Seven was OK, this is just Cack. Charlie T is dire. Yes the stunts are great, the effects are cool, but you need a story, this is just about car chases and carboard acting. This was done just for the money it made.

I hope 9 is a lot better, Cena is quality so I have high hopes.

The Blacklist: Konets (2021)
Season 8, Episode 22

Jump the Shark
29 June 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I think when we finally learn who Red is, we won't believe it. But thinking about all the episodes did he ever have a proper gf, have we seem him go to bed with anyone?

Maybe he can't, maybe he is as many have said, which would be crazy, if you think of the date when her Mother vanished, but who is still alive What other answer is their? Can't be her Dad, But it's someone very very close, that if Liz found out, she could not kill him.

The Park scene gave a lot of clues, the holding of the hands, a mother holding her daughters hand one last time and Townsend wanting to kill Liz before killing Red, is a massive clue, he wanted her mother (Red) to lose her daughter.

Well we ever be told the truth, or will the scriptwriters leave it hanging? Be interesting where they go in season 9, the series can't got back to how it was, cause the whole existence and being of Red was to protect Liz, without that why live?

He killed the baddie who killed Liz, so who is their for him to hunt? Am very surprised there will be a season 9, as Yes people hated Liz and wanted her gone, but she is the whole point of the series, without her Red has no purpose.

The Blacklist: Nachalo (2021)
Season 8, Episode 21
9/10
YES
22 June 2021
I watched Lost and many other series who had poor endings (if this is the end) but a big Cheer to the scriptwriters they got it spot-on all the characters all the ends all tied up. And done in a very clever way, having the actual people tell their story. It was superb, I was hooked to the screen And a nice ending, Bang!!

Can they carry on? Yes, with Keen and Red working together, both the other side of the law, Keen owns Red big time.

Would be Amazing in 4k IMAX
10 June 2021
This is a weird one, Russian but looks like something out of Marvel. The effects the look of the film, is very cool.

Started watching it as background noise, then got more and more into it. The acting and writing is very average but the CGI and effects are very good. Has a Power Rangers feel to it for me Try to watch it on a decent sized screen with a good 5.1 sound system, it's not as bad as people make out Would it have been better with sub-titles, nope as words on the screen would hide the great look of the film.

This would be perfect for 3D, def worth a watch and as people have said Kids will love it, but so will some adults into Marvel And I am not going to tell you how old I am :-)
