Hilarious!!
26 March 2024
Absolutely brilliant film that's destined to become a cult classic as the years go on. There are a few sexual jokes that I wasn't expecting but all in all it was a hilariously funny movie and I'd highly recommend it to everyone I know.

The two main leads were fantastic and encompassed the characters entirely! Cole spruce was easily the standout though having to convey everything just with his mannerisms and eye movements!

The costumes were perfectly on point as was the music. I can't wait for this to come out on dvd (yes I'm old and still buy films I love on dvd) so I can add it to my collection and see whenever I want. I think most people will enjoy this one! 8/10*!!

What If (I) (2013)
10/10
Loved it!!
22 August 2023
This film was a total surprise to me. I didn't know anything about it really before I bought it, only that I've become a big fan of Daniel Radcliffe since he stopped making the HP films. I've never been a big fan of romantic comedies, unless they star Sandra Bullock, This film was not what I expected off the blurb on the back of the dvd at all! It's a subtle Rom com rather than being in your face like so many are, and it was genuinely touching and sweet. The character Daniel Radcliffe plays reminds me so much of my ex, it gave me a lot of feels! Genuinely loved this movie and I can't recommend it highly enough! The closest rom coms it reminds me of are probably "the first time" or "500 days of summer" so if you liked them you will probably really enjoy this movie!

The Voices (2014)
10/10
Outstanding film!!
5 August 2023
I couldn't believe just how much I LOVED this film. I think it's probably Ryan Reynolds best movie, yet I'd never heard of it til I stumbled across it whilst browsing streaming sites!!

It's equally hilarious and horrifying, and he is phenomenal in the role! I have recommended it to everyone I know and will continue to do so.

I think the cat is my favourite character but i will have to rewatch it a few times before I settle on that opinion.

It's a shame that it isn't better known as it's such an awesome film, and definitely shines a light on mental illness! Both the highs and lows!

Gotta admit I really liked Anna Kendrick in this too- I usually find her annoying, but she was the perfect person for the role.

Can't recommend highly enough!!

Absolutely fantastic!
14 June 2023
Every once in a while I manage to stumble onto a movie that catches me off guard, the good neighbour was certainly one of them.

After a very bad run for me with films the good neighbour popped up on Amazon prime as a suggested film, I'd never heard of it- but after a quick IMDb search, seeing the cast and getting a general description of the story I thought why the hell not - if it's bad it was just gonna continue my losing streak!

WELL, I LOVED every single moment! Right from the start I was completely captivated by both the teens motives, the actual premise of their "experiment" was definitely interesting! What starts out as a teenage prank definitely transpired into something much more as the film progressed. Both teen leads were brilliant and perfectly cast. And then there is the legendary James Caan! What an actor! He can convey so much emotion with just a look, and without much dialogue he had a great opportunity to show just how much he can do!

I'm so glad that I saw this film. I've actually watched it twice this week now, and the second viewing made it even more interesting as I viewed it through a different perspective.

I can't recommend this film any higher! Absolutely phenomenal!

The Guilty (2021)
9/10
Hidden gem
25 April 2023
I wanna start off by saying I can't stand Jake Gyllenhall usually, I find him insufferable and think he over acts. Yet, having said that, he's fantastic in this film! It's a very hard task to carry 95% of a movie on your own, and he totally succeeded in this gem of a movie. I went into watching this film thinking it probably wouldn't be any good but needed to kill a few hours but within 20 minutes I was totally sucked into the plot. It moves along at a good pace and never feels boring or rushed. It could have easily been a terrible movie if they'd gotten this wrong. There are a lot of similarities to the Halle Berry film, the call, but this is more believable, and dare I say better version. No one is more shocked than I am that I loved this film, so much so I've seen it numerous times now and always enjoy it. I highly recommend it!

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS FILM!!!
3 March 2023
This film is by far one of my favourite movies! It's probably in my top 10 horror films of all time. It's the perfect amount of cheese mixed with some pretty scary looking ghosts! It doesn't take itself seriously and that's one of the things that makes it so brilliant! IF they had gone for full on gore and scares, without the humorous touch it probably would have been terrible. I can't understand the low reviews because if you watch it expecting a fun film, rather than something terrifying, then you will surely enjoy it! I LOVE my horror films and watch pretty much anything and I always find myself coming back to this time and time again. Highly recommend!!

I really enjoyed it!
31 January 2023
I actually thought that this film was brilliant! It's not really a "paranormal activity" film though. It reminded me far more of the film "the last exorcism", which I personally love! It's not really scary- although I may not be a good judge of that since almost no films scare me- but it definitely has a good creepy atmosphere. It's also surprisingly well acted and the location itself had a foreboding feel to it. I think there is something fascinating about the Amish community and it was a great setting for the movie- there is something somewhat unsettling about being a stranger in a community that you know very little about. All in all I recommend it and will definitely be buying it on dvd soon!

If you're a huge fan of the show...
30 January 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I'm a HUGE FAN OF THE SHOW!!!

It's not a good film! Tbhb it's actually terrible! I'd suggest expect the worst and you may be happy!

It doesn't continue on from the last episode. It does t do a lot of things we wish it had done! When it starts it's 15 years later 🤦‍♀️ literally 15 years later!!! That's already an issue! I thought that meant Just skip ahead to Liam and his pack.... Nope ... absolutely ridiculous! Liam is basically non existent in the film! The film is bloody awful!!!!im gonn have to keep saying that I've rand over til I get to the minimum amount of characters to be able to post!!!!

Would have made a better tv show episode
4 November 2022
I was thoroughly enjoying this film and felt like it was getting to the midway point just to notice it only had 15 mins left to go!!!!

I honestly think they should have made a mini series about Roald Dahl and this been the first episode!

It Was a fantastic story but felt unfinished! The acting was superb and the casting was perfect, BUT It left me longing for more... there are so more stories left untold in regards to his life that I'd loved to have seen too!!

I highly recommend this if you don't expect to have a lot of his life covered only a year or so during a painful part of his career.

Daybreak (I) (2019)
9/10
Whyyyyyy oh why did they cancel it!!!
2 November 2022
This was one of the best shows Netflix has made! It's absolutely perfect! Has a whole new twist on "zombie's" and loved that it was a fairly realistic tale on the apocalypse if only kids and teens are left! I LOVE this show! Can't believe every time I fall in love with a Netflix show I Find out it's been cancelled!!!! Whomever is in charge of keeping or killing shows... that always AX my favourites!! Yet they let 3 crappy kissing booth movies be made! Someone need to get fired at Netflix that for sure!

If you liked this watch the Netflix show insatiable too, or the film warm bodies! I actually thought that was in a similar vain to this show!!

Devil in Ohio (2022)
6/10
It's like a lifetime film with a budget!
3 September 2022
It definitely wasn't what I was expecting from the trailer- it's definitely like a lifetime movie that's been dragged out to 8 episodes with a high budget! Now, I'm not saying that's a bad thing in the slightest, but you have to know what you're letting yourself in for! It's cheesy, overly dramatic at times but it's definitely entertaining! It probably could have been cut down to 5 episodes and would have been slightly better! It reminds me of the Apple TV show servant with regards to the cult aspect! Had the same sort of ominous vibe- just wasn't as well done. I can't complain, kept me entertained all evening!

Give it a go- see what you think!!

Brimstone (2016)
10/10
Wow!
19 August 2022
This is hands down one of the best films I've ever seen! I've probably seen it 8/9 times now in the past 4 years and it's always as brutal and shocking and real as the first time I watched it! It's one of them sorta films that should have win an Oscar but probably offended too many people to be considered! It's truly dark and disturbing on so many levels - I don't wanna give away anything about the plot because that will ruin it! Go into this film blind, like I did and be amazed! As much as it's truly horrifying it's truly beautiful at the same time!

One of my all time favourite films!! SOOOO UNDERRATED!!!!
28 June 2022
This film came out around the same time as the sixth sense and while that got all the hype this film was forgotten and it's an absolute Tragedy!!!! Don't get me wrong the sixth sense is brilliant, but this is far far better! It's definitely scores more on the monitors for the eerie scenes, & has the jump scares times perfectly. The creepy kid is a bonus. You've got the most perfect cast members! Kevin bacon shines in this film!! I personally think it's one of his best!!

It's already beginning to get a "cult classic" status!

I read the book recently and it wasn't half as good as this film! It was long winded, meandering and took forever to get to the point in a 230 page novel! This film phenomenal on how it made an antiquated book into something so relatable- even 20 years after the films release!! I want everyone to watch it!

Elevator (V) (2012)
8/10
Well I loved it!
1 April 2022
After reading all the rotten reviews on here I was expecting a TERRIBLE film. It's not! It's actually pretty awesome. I won't waste time rehashing the story but I thought it was an incredibly well made, well acted little movie!

It had a brilliant set of characters, all with a lot of depth considering the limited amount of time the had time introduce them all. I thought they were all very believable.

There are a few things that happened that I thought were predictable but that's not a big deal.

The plot moves forward at a constant steady pace and I think a lot people will love the film if they give it chance!

I don't wanna give anything away so all I can say is go into it with an open mind and you will probably enjoy it!!

Invasion (2005–2006)
10/10
I love this show!
12 March 2022
I watched it years ago when it was on tv! It was something new! As someone else said it was always on after lost, which had all the viewers but in my opinion this shows soooooo much better! I loved it and even all these years later it's still! 17 years later it's still as awesome as the first time I saw it!!! Another show that had so much potential lost to the void!

Pretty Little Liars: Shadow Play (2014)
Season 4, Episode 19
1/10
One of the worst episodes ever
15 January 2022
It was soooo bad and pretty much pointless! Save yourself some time and watch the first and last 5 minutes and ignore the rest of the episode because you learn nothing at all, and it's stupid beyond words!

Gamer (2009)
8/10
I really like it!
20 December 2021
I've seen this film probably 4/5 times now. Is it anything phenomenal that will change you're life- no, BUT it's highly entertaining. Anyone who knows me I always rewatch films over and over again even when I don't particularly like them, and when I first watched gamer I wasn't a big fan. I probably didn't really expect the film to be what it is- all flash no substance, well that was my take away after the first viewing. But I believe pretty much every film deserves to be watched more than once, purely because you know what to expect the second time and sometimes that's better! I've found with every repeated viewings of gamer I enjoyed it a bit more than the previous, and now I really really enjoy it. Definitely something I can shove on and switch my brain off for, which sometimes I think makes for a perfect movie! Films after all are supposed to entertain! I'm a full on film nerd- to the point where my friends refer to me as the human IMDb- and whilst I love films with a lot of depth and emotional stories that make me think, sometimes I want a bit of action and crazy stupid sci fi storyline where I can tune out the world and just enjoy it for what it is!

I highly recommend watching this film, at least twice!

Sex Education: Episode 6 (2021)
Season 3, Episode 6
5/10
Totally unrealistic!
20 September 2021
Look- I'm from England and there is no way in hell that a headteacher could pick on and shame students in the way they did in this episode!! It's just insane! It's a good episode in some respects & brings to light a lot of things that need to be addressed; but to show the U. K. school system acting in that way is completely irresponsible and untrue! It's actually made me quite angry because children are being taught (from a very very young age now) about acceptance and sexuality, especially non binary and transgender issues! Things like that wouldn't happen at a school in the U. K!!

The Giver (2014)
10/10
One of my favourite films of all time!
4 September 2021
I absolutely love this film. There is such an innocence about it but it's profound at the same time! It doesn't rely on sex, or violence or anything outlandish, it's just a beautiful film! Everything about the way it's filmed, starting in black and white and slowly introducing colour, the musical score, the acting and above all the story are all so well done I can't fault them at all.

I discovered this gem of a film about 5 years ago & I loved it. I rewatched it's a year or two later and enjoyed it even more. The past 2 years I've watched it about once or twice a month. I've gone through a tough time and this film has helped me to remember the beauty in life and that even pain can be a good thing. It makes me smile, laugh and cry and is such a wonderful beautiful film! The cast were all amazing too! The lead actor, brenton thwaites, has since become a favourite of mine, he's incredibly talented! Jeff bridges and meryl Streep are on point as always! It's such a simple concept but it's so deep and profoundly moving! I can't recommend this film highly enough!

Awesome show!
26 August 2021
Well, this show wasn't at all what I expected. I can usually always work out the twists in the first episode or two with shows like this. I did guess a lot of them but I NEVER saw that ending coming! I absolutely loved it! Would highly recommend! Especially to U. K. viewers that like the show broadchurch! I thought it had a similar vibe! Very well done to all involved! I loved it!!!

Absolutely awful
24 April 2021
Look I'm English and I am obsessed with Tudor history
  • I loved Phillipa Gregory's book! I knew it wasnt historically accurate but it's still a really good book! This film was terrible! Beyond words! They destroyed the book! It's called the "the other Boleyn girl" is coz it's supposed to be about Mary! Not Anne! The film was all about Anne! And neither actress was good enough to play the parts of these amazing women that have forged English history!!!

Unwatchable
24 April 2021
Absolutely one of the worst "historical" films I've seen!! They couldn't even get the fact that Mary queen of Scots spent most of her childhood in France so she wouldn't have a Scottish accent! Everything about this film was insulting! Watch the film Elizabeth with cate blanchette! It's a phenomenal film!!! Not this drivel!!

I really liked it!
4 February 2021
This film isn't amazing or terrible, it's one of the very middle rate horrors but it's still very enjoyable, entertaining and well made. It's slightly predictable and follows the same kids premise of unfriended but in a far more watchable film- without being all on a computer screen flicking between apps! Personally I think unfriended was a slightly better film but I still really like this and have rated them both the same- 6/10. I know everyone will have an opinion and a lot of them negative but give it a go, it's worth a watch! I've sat though many high rated films that I've not enjoyed as much as this film! All in all I've watched it 4 times now and still enjoy it every time I see it!

Ouija (II) (2014)
6/10
I love this film!!!!
1 February 2021
Look, I may have only rated it 6/10 but I absolutely love this film! It's well acted and highly entertaining! My slightly lowe score is because it follows a very familiar formular for horrors. It's very well made and well acted, I loved the story too - but for me the second film; the prequel was far superior! It's a shame because this film is gonna be one that's stuck in the non memorable category! I really really like it! I've probably watched it 10 times! It's not perfect, what horror film is- but it's certainly entertaining and if people just give it a chance it's Worthy of a bowl of popcorn!!

Teen Wolf (2011–2017)
10/10
If you get past the first season it becomes epic!!
22 January 2021
When this show started I was 22 and had better things to do that watch a teenage show! I also had issues coz I love the film teen wolf and thought it would be a crappy rip off!! My sister who was 16 at the time became obsessed with it as did my mother- I watched the first season sporadically before I used to out. It caught my attention but I wouldn't admit that I liked it! Fast forward 7 years later and it's on Netflix U.K.- I was bored and needed something stupid to take my mind off things! I thought that it was ok when I saw the odd episodes! The first season is entertaining, second season even more so but season 3 and beyond- WOW!! Who could have seen it go from a teen drama show to something that's so epic! I literally couldn't wait to see one episode to the next! I have recently bought them all on dvd and I get excited every time I put the next dvd in because I know what's coming is gonna be even better than the last!! Stiles stealers the show every single time he is on screen! Yes the show is predominantly about Scott, but the surrounding cast make the show! Lydia is another stand out from season 2 onwards!! I highly recommend this to everyone!!! I love it!!
