The Pentaverate (2022)
Enjoyable surprise.
As a fan of Mike myers I was very much looking forward to this. I was a bit worried that his humour might not connect anymore, but it did with me. In fact I thought the tone of the series wasn't as silly as I was expecting, I mean it is very silly but in a good way, It could so easily have been embarrassing. It's really good to have him back and for me, still on form. We'll done sir.
The Tomorrow War (2021)
Ruined by the last 20 minutes (no spoilers)
I was quite enjoying this for the most part, I mean it was rubbish but still a good action movie. That is until the final act. For goodness sake what is it about Americans and their need for super cheesy cliche moments in films? Why are films constantly ruined by this awful awful sentimental tripe. I very nearly didn't make it to the end. Such a shame, if it had ended after the second act it would have got a 7 or maybe an 8, no let's not get carried away it would have been a 7. Oh Mr Pratt you can do so much better.
Tales from the Loop (2020)
Beautiful.
What a fantastic show. It's beautifully paced, NOT SLOW as some others have said. Each episode has you genuinely wondering where it's going to end up, which all good shows should do. Loved it. Well done Amazon.
The I-Land (2019)
Horrible.
It's just terrible in every way. It's obviously very low budget, barrel scraping lead actors, and the writing is truly awful. Sadly I fear this kind of garbage will be the future for Netflix. I decided to call it a day at the end of episode 1 so this isn't a balanced review but I just couldn't stomach anymore.
Russian Doll (2019)
Another Netflix gem.
I love coming across a series on Netflix I don't know much about only to find its one of the best things I've seen in a long time. Loved this! No option but to binge all in one because it was too good and intriguing to stop. Give it a go it's a must watch.
Los últimos días (2013)
Really enjoyed it.
Let's get this out of the way, the concept is very silly. However suspend your disbelief on that front and you have a very well made and well performed survival film. It gives you all the themes you need, from searching for loved ones, unlikely friendships and of course bad guys and ragamuffins. Really enjoyed and would recommend it.
The Predator (2018)
Lots of potential. Terrible editing.
I wanted to love this, and I think there is a movie in there somewhere that I could love, but this version isn't it. The editing is so bad. It skips around from scene to scene so much it just loses any cohesion. There are some great ideas and some great scenes but it just doesn't flow right. A missed opportunity for me. 5 out of 10 but should have been 8 or 9.
