So boring....
2 May 2024
Warning: Spoilers
Awful film with terrible acting and a drunken film crew who can't keep a camera steady.

Nicolas Cage was terrible as usual although I decided to give him a chance and watch this. "Sorry Nic... No more chances!"

The twins were bad but I don't blame them, I blame the producers. I mean, who says "please" and "thanks" when they're fighting these monsters???

The story was boring and although the setting looked great (in Ireland), it didn't do anything to really engage the viewer. The lighting was so dark that I struggled to see some of the things happening in certain parts! Why do they have to do this? The whole point is for viewers to see what's going on! Anyway, wouldn't really recommend this film - it could have been so much better I think - perhaps by introducing a new lead actor I think and a bit more explanation on where these creatures came from and some explanation on what happened in the 15 years time gap and an explanation why some farms were regularly attacked and others not! Monsters were ok though!

Fair Play (2023)
9/10
Well, well, well, a superb gem of a film!
8 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
!WoW! - This film was super duper! Right from the beginning, there were little twists, here, there and everywhere. This showed a great perspective of promotion and jealousy and the male-dominated boardroom- and executive-type mentality. Phoebe's acting was immaculate, as was Alden's. It was shocking to see how Phoebe moved towards the male workplace way of thinking and that it wasn't always what she wanted but what was expected as a senior PM. Alden's portrayal of a jealous analyst was really interesting and the effect the promotion had on him gave some interesting food for thought. It was one of those films which was constantly grabbing your attention - there was always something happening. Oh, before I forget, the final 'punchline' of the film was simply superb. It was superb and brought a smile to my face. I just did not see it coming at all! Maybe that was just me but anyway, the film was brilliant. I gave this an 8 but changed it to a 9 - if only for Phoebe's superb and faultless acting...

If you like rubbish, you'll like this
21 September 2023
Like the title says; if you like rubbish, you will certainly like this! What a load of poop.

The acting in this film was hilariously bad. The punch-ups, i.e., The one in the prison, and the one outside the pub was so bad that words actually fail me. The police chief with his ridiculous American accent. Okay guys and girls, I've done the hard work for you I watched this film so that I can warn you "not to watch".

OMG Chris, what did you get yourself into?

Why oh why did you agree to.do this POS!

One of my favourite actors has just taken a nosedive as a result of this trash. An absolute complete mess of a film and, I suppose, the only good people in it was Hugh Grant and then... Chris Pine. That idiot of a sorcerer, whose accent was ridiculous, what a complete mis-cast I'm not going to say anything about the other actors because the review will probably be deleted. The plot was crap and the script was crappier...

Soft & Quiet (2022)
10/10
From start to end it was gripping...
6 February 2023
Well, that was surprising!

I saw a trailer of the film and it looked ok'ish and the rating looked ok on IMDb saw I thought I would chance it and watch the film. From the first few minutes I was hooked. What I thought would be a boring first 20 or 30 minutes was pretty good with all the females having an excellent script and the interplay between them was superb. Then, it got really interesting. In addition, the way it was filmed was very good and the shooting was really excellent. One particular actress was very good (the crazy one) as was the blonde. In fact, they were all very good and I was surprised at some of the ratings and reviews it had received. From start to end it was gripping and the ending was just 'so unexpected'! I highly recommend this film, a really captivating film.

Absolutely superb...
8 January 2023
I'm not really a fan of Christian Bale, but this film was superb. The acting of all involved was immaculate. The story was intriguing and unusual, and a welcome change from the usual films that have been released. The whole setting of the film, and the filming in general, was top class. Right from the beginning I found myself hooked, and there was not a moment of dull or irrelevant scenes. It was a long film, over two hours, and very very enjoyable. I think that many of the actors were British and there was very solid acting throughout. I loved the idea of the film and I and the unexpected ending was amazing. I highly recommend this film if you are into period drama with a twist. I gave this film a rating of 10 - thoroughly deserved!!!

Absolute tosh!!!
21 December 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Colin Farrell is one of my favourite actors and seeing that he was also with Brendan Gleeson (which reminded of the superb film 'In Bruges'), I thought that it would certainly be a great film to watch. Well, how wrong I was!!! There were probably only one or two lines that were funny but the remainder of the film was ridiculous. Who in the world would vow to cut off his fingers if Farrell/Padraic spoke to him again and actually go through with it and cut off all fingers and thumb of his hand??? No way! It made so angry to think that the writer, McDonagh, would assume that he was writing some brilliant script when, in fact, it was absolute tosh! Nope people, very, very disappointing and if you decide to watch it, I really hope you enjoy it as much as I hated it!

A compelling film to watch.
20 October 2022
I thoroughly enjoyed this film and Mila was immaculate in it. I've usually only watched her comedy films so this was an interesting change for her. TiffAni and young TiffAni were superb in portraying what is a very horrible event. The flicking back to the past and how it was merged in some scenes with the present were very good and clever and narration that was used was well used especially with the thoughts that were going through TiffAni's mind which were at some times amusing and other times poignant. I think that this film will be one of those films that will leave a lasting impression on viewers. The last scene on 5th Avenue... beautiful!

Really good film, thoroughly enjoyable. The acting was excellent and the plot was unbelievable - very difficult to believe that this was a true story.

Loved it and highly recommend...

Can't believe how crap this film was...
3 August 2022
Acting bad... even worse than Bruce Willis and Nicolas Cage...

Script was a load of garbage and a totally unreal plot that could never happen...

And where did they get the girl from? Oh yea, and that dumb-looking, low IQ gung-ho cop!!!???

Can't believe I watched it to the end? Feel bad about it and even after 3 days, I can't get over having watched it so... perhaps I'm getting some sort of closure by reviewing it and saving some other poor soul from watching it!

Absolute garbage, don't bother!
16 April 2022
This film was a complete waste of time and a complete mess. What the flip was happening? Absolutely no idea and even the summary on imdb was totally unrelated. What the ... were the characters about? The was a complete mess and if you imagine a director going out on the streets of New York say, and scraping dog mess from the pavement, this is what was presented to us.

Don't bother with this drivel, you'll thank me!

A pure waste of time an so boring and forgettable
4 March 2022
An awful film that is just full of weak acting and pathetic action and fights.

Liam, once again, has shown the need to retire gracefully and to never make a film again. The script was ridiculous, the plot was just unbelievable and the characters were so pathetic and daft. Every character seemed unreal and I am pretty certain that this will be last Lian Neeson film I ever see!

Everything about this film was superb!
4 February 2022
A thoroughly enjoyable film with superb acting... Cate at her absolute finest and Bradley was super cool as was Toni. Fantastic filming, script, acting, atmosphere, and lots of other things... A well-deserved 10 stars IMHO... Not going to say anything else about this film except... "Watch it!"

don't waste your time with this cr@p
14 December 2021
Neither sci-fi nor a thriller but just a load of well-acted cr@p. Honestly, I wouldn't bother with it. Basically a scam because, I suppose, lying about the genre is one way of increasing viewers but it's another way of getting a rating like 'wot i've given!'... a "1"...

Crap actor alert - Bruce Willis - Crap actor alert
8 October 2021
Man oh man... do I ever learn? What an awful film. Every time I say enough, I will never watch another BW film, I do it again. He can't act for toffee and this is another successful attempt of him being a trash actor.

How can people make films like these and think that they're good???
25 September 2021
This was terrible... really terrible! Everything about it was bad and it's hard to believe that the people that made this film actually thought they were doing something... artistic! If they were, then they were thinking 'artistically bad'!

Oh yeah, at least the producers could have waited until "Crawford's" eye infection cleared. That guy was bad... really bad and irritating to watch!

a really boring film - nothing kind of happened!
19 September 2021
Sigourney Weaver is always good and in this film, she was pretty awesome. But the film was boring and after watching it, you realise that nothing actually happened for it to be a good film.

It could have been much better but it failed on plot, some weak actors, and a really crappy story!

Don't waste your time - absolute sh**
18 August 2021
Not much to see here... except cr*p acting, ridiculous lineup of pathetic people spewing out a laughable dialogue... and an absolute 'waste of time' plot.

Really guys, don't bother, you'll thank me. Really astounded that it's currently a 5.8!

This is a neat little gem of a film...
13 August 2021
It started off with me thinking, "no, no, no!" can't/won't watch this.... however, within a few minutes, literally, I thought, yep, this is interesting.

A really enjoyable sci-fi film; granted it was low-budget but, IMHO, it was very good and very enjoyable.

I gave it an 8.

Blood Red Sky (2021)

Absolutely riveting stuff...
25 July 2021
Not really into vampire films but read the film 'bio' and it just said 'an illness'. Saying that, this must be one of the best vampire films ever, plus the setting of the action was awesome. Superb acting from Peri with the way she played her role, just fantastic. My only 'niggle' was the dubbed part as I couldn't understand why they'd be dubbing parts of the film while most of the actors and actresses spoke English. However, it didn't warrant me knocking off a '1' from my '10' rating! Action all the way through and thoroughly entertaining... which films should be.

Surprisingly - most excellent!
19 July 2021
Probably one of Nicolas Cage's best performances. Everything about this film was good... the filming, the scenery, the acting from all... very emotional and deep and dark.

Recommended even if you're not a Cage fan (as this may change your mind about him).

Superb film - really recommend
6 July 2021
Chris Pratt did great in this film. A few emotional moments which brought a few gulps and the odd tear and I'm a guy. I just love the way he blended into the various roles of the film and basically, Chris is amazing... really love this guy.

The story was the usual thing with aliens but told in an unusual way which, I think, succeeded. The action was all there, the great graphics and SFX, a couple of corny lines but not enough to lower my rating of a 10.

Really recommend this film - 130 minutes of excellence!

The Ice Road (2021)
3/10
A very weak action film and mostly... boring.
26 June 2021
I like Liam Neeson but the new "old and weak" version. He is getting old and his roles are getting very soft and his voice is not as aggressive and exciting as it used to be. The film has nothing that would suggest a "Wow, that was great" but is slow and at some times, irritatingly slow. I think the only bit that sticks in my mind of the whole film was right at the beginning, when he punched the guy making fun of his brother, and he he just fell backwards!

Don't really recommend this film to anyone.
