Ripley (2024)
Stairs forever walking the stairs
This is beautifully shot and an interesting storey, what I cannot get over though constant stair shots. Man walks up man walks down man walks back up man walks down. This could have been an amazing 4 part re telling of an amazing story. But my word it was dragged out.
Whilst there are no real shockers the acting is good and real tension is built and you enjoy the story unfolding. But the repetitive shots or back and forth and back and forth gets tiresome.
I think you'd be better off watching the Matt Damon version and savings 8 hours of your life.you find your self wanting to skip chunks to get to the end.
Pieces of Her (2022)
Should have been a movie not enough for a series
This was a interesting story that was so dragged out that you lose interest. This could have been a fast paced movie.
The acting isn't great the daughter continues to do stupid dangerous things and has no real likability. Neither does the main character you do not feel sympathy or anything towards her.
Would not recommend.
Responsible Child (2019)
Brilliant acting from young talent
Very difficult watch but we'll made. I can imagine there are judges and prosecutors that get away with the stern questioning and unsympathetic approach.
Another reviewer mentions the Jamie bulger murder and whilst I mentioned this after finishing the programme, it was the stark contrast to the two monsters who hurt and killed a small child. To a small child who had been let down by all around him.
This covers the people who tried and those who could h e helped the family and didn't. This shows how far people will go when they feel there is no other option.
Scream (2015)
More scooby doo than scream
The acting is so bad it's painful, the writing is terrible no one speak like this "you smell like skittles and cigarettes" "why don't you rate the rainbow"
Scream the films are my favourite films and season one and two were good although would have preferred original ghost face mask.
But this is terrible, let's work out who the killer is. Let's not go to the police. It's all just a bit Scooby. The over the top stereotypes are so ridiculous. I really wanted this to be good.
I Feel Pretty (2018)
Truly awful!
Oh my word how to make every non kar-jenner feel like utter crap.
Basically you can only be successful and nice to your friends if you feel ugly.
All About the Washingtons (2018)
Awful awful acting
I managed to get through a few episodes. The acting is so awful, in particular the mum. It's such a shame as the eldest daughter was pretty good in scream.
This is not cute or funny it's just bad. It reminds me of the to bad to laugh at nick programmes. Could be my age but if your older than 12 just skip it.
American Horror Story (2011)
Could have been great - *** spoilers ***
I've watched the first two seasons and this could have been great but they seem to want to shock people more than tell a story. The second could have been great but there was just to much the Aslyum story with the reported and bloody face could have been brilliant I could even take the possession. But then throw in aliens, nazis, zombies and non of them explained just left it feeling half done.
The first was the same started off great with to many half told stories where as if they could have focussed on a few intertwining stories and done them properly.
This hopefully gets better but fear again the shock value outweighs a consistent and fully told story.
I am not bothered my gore or graphic ness but would like it to have context not just be thrown in because they want to shock.
I did like the using the same people different characters.
Dietland (2018)
See it for what it is
I think you have to watch this and see it for what it is, I've seen a lot of reviews saying it's like an 80'a throw back. That plum is concern do about her looks rather than her health it's in realistic. I think this is so untrue. Still now in 2018 the images and unhealthy challenges rife on social media is alive and well. So I think we should promote being overweight. No but we should really be pushing it to the point of making people hate themselves for not being perfect. Has no one heard everything in moderation.
Let's be real here who wouldnt like to drop rapists, Harvey wienstien and the like out of a plane.
Would I she's liked maybe a little less lion costume and more dark humour yes. But so far so good. An interesting take on feminism and what and how the world looks and treats women.
