Star Trek: Prodigy (2021)
Not bad but...
Well at the start I thought, this isn't Trek. Its more like Star Wars. But it does get its Trek on eventually. The only trouble is, because its essentially a kid's show it can get annoying very quickly. The main character just needs to be sent to his room (that's putting it mildly)
And I don't think kids find Star Trek cool. I reckon they'd rather watch Star Wars, which is probably why it looks and feels more like that other franchise.... But really it doesn't seem fair to do judge a kid's show unless you're a kid yourself.
Moon Knight (2022)
Dunno where to start
Watched the first episode, it was weird but fun. After that the weirdness increased but the fun stopped. So did my watching. Bored and confused.
Touch and hold a clip to pin it. Unpinned clips will be deleted after 1 hour.
King of Thieves (2018)
Bladdy brilliant
Loved this film, so funny and poignant. Based on a real robbery but played down a little and is basically a bunch od old boys havin a lark.
Brilliant performances from Michael Caine, Jim Broadbent, Tom Courtney and Paul Whitehouse.
Sanctuary (2008)
Not great
After the success of Stargate SG1 Amanda Tapping turned to this. There's a good idea there but the execution is bad. For a start the music is overdone. Half the time it over powers the dialogue so you struggle to hear what the characters are saying. And once again they have magic guns with an infinite amount of rounds.
Its ok, but not brilliant.
The Power of the Dog (2021)
Snoresville
From the creator of The Piano (good book, still not seen the movie) and it does sort of feature a piano, a Mason and Hamblin grand. But she can't play it...
Cucumberpatch does an ok US accent, but that's the least of this film's problems. Its just ..dull...
Well at least there are actually dogs in it...
War of the Worlds (2019)
Pretty good so far
Quite good , very graphic, no holds barred, in fact more realistic than many renditions so far.
The Final Cut (2004)
A bit dull
There's a neat idea there it is poorly executed I think. Its really nothing to write home about; I found it quite boring. Not one of William's best films to be honest.
The Haunting of Borley Rectory (2019)
Boring film with hilarious credits
Seriously, don't bother watching the film, just skip to the end credits. So funny!
It Follows (2014)
Interesting idea at least
Decidedly average psycho horror flick with dodgy camera work and sound. How it got so many award noms is beyond me.
Knives Out (2019)
A fun outing for Craig
Strangely enjoyable for the type of film I don't normally enjoy, the whodunnit. Daniel Craig as an American is quite convincing. One of the characters refers to him as foghorn leghorn which was funny
Spectre (2015)
Nice car...
Not very memorable, or exciting. Nice cars though...
Dimension 404 (2017)
Pretty good
Like a cross between Black Mirror and Twilight Zone, some fun stuff, but only 6 episodes?
Collision Earth (2020)
Bad, just bad
Well that's an hour and half of my life I won't get back. Eric Roberts must have had bills to pay...
2/10, and that's because I'm in a good mood
War of the Worlds (2019)
Pretty good so far
Quite good , very graphic, no holds barred, in fact more realistic than many renditions so far.
Dracula (2020)
So far so good
Well any adaptation is better than the boring book.
The Name of the Rose (2019)
Very good
I've not read the book yet but I found this an enjoyable series. Tuturro is brilliant. Want to read the book now... Also I love the intro mysic by Volker Bertelmann
The War of the Worlds (2019)
Not brilliant
Just on the first episode, looks alright. But then it falls flat. Opportunity wasted.
John Carter (2012)
Barsoominous nonesense
Read one of the books, which was good in its time but we know a lot more since, and this day and age it just doesn't work and comes off as really silly.
Helix (2014)
Quirky but good show
Its good to see something different on TV, and this is certainly different. Shame it only ran to 2 seasons...
Zoo (2015)
Its ok but ..
Just as a warning to anyone discovering the show, it was cancelled part way through season 4 and just ends, no conclusion. A bit like a book with the last chapter missing. Very annoying.
