Boyz n the Hood

This film is very much a product of its time. It has important things to say, but sometimes it just comes out and says them instead of making them part of the story. A bit too on the nose at times.

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw

Ah look, it is very entertaining and as full of action and madness as you'd expect. I could have done with a little more character every now and then, but it did the job.

Who knows what this is all about. I mean, I know the plot (such as it is) but really? what is this even!

Star Trek: 2x10 Journey to Babel

You gotta love how illogical most Vulcans seem to be in order to make the story progress

Star Trek: 2x09 Metamorphosis

I'm sorry, male and female are universal constructs... I guess at least Kirk tried talking this time instead of only violence, even if that was his first impulse

What is the point in this film... I just don't get it.

Next Goal Wins

the first half of this film almost madee turn it off, but it pulled it slightly together in the end. it showed heart, not enough to make up for the bad writing and lack of characterisation in the first half. but enough to save it from being a god awful film

Anatomy of a Fall

it's amazing to read the comments about these 'unlikeable characters' as I didn't think anyone was unlikeable. I mean they all had flaws and acted badly, but isn't that part of living?

I really loved the way it asked so many questions, and the fact that it says right up there it doesn't matter what the truth is, just what people believe. I'm not sure I agree entirely with that, in some cases the truth is a fact, but it works for this film

No Mercy

urgh. so pedestrian and predictable.
the role of Michelle could have been played by a lamp for all that Basinger had to do

not sure why this one got so panned on relief. it was pretty much what you'd expect from the premise. not fantastic, but enjoyable enough tosh

Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3

I enjoyed this. it didn't work overall, some was a bit messy but it also had some very emotional scenes that really hit. overall a solid bit of entertainment

Open Range

one of my all time favourite films. I've researched it many times, slow and measured. a simple story well told and with great chemistry between Duvall and Costner.

The Last of Us: 1x01 When You're Lost in the Darkness

have to say that although I wasn't too pushed on the trailer this was a really good opening episode.

The Boston Strangler

I don't know if this is any way accurate but as a film it is very powerful. it doesn't shy away from the horrendous acts committed but yet has a strangely sympathetic approach.

very well acted and well worth a watch, but not an easy viewing

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: 1x01 A Shadow of the Past

Not great to be honest. Doesn't feel like lotr at all, and way too many storylines going on. Some fairly weak writing

Samaritan

Well that was just terrible. Terrible and God awful.

The Card Counter

This starts out somewhat interesting, but then is seems to warp into two different films that just don't gel at all. Scenes are held for far too long in an attempt to be artistic maybe? I'm not really sure why.
The central premise is also a bit hmmmm, i mean if that's what you wanna explore then okay, but do we always have to center every film around American protagonists and make them be the good guys when obviously they are not.
Maybe of the film explored more of the can horrific deeds ever be forgiven, and the actual impact of those acts it would have had more meaning. As it is it's all just a bit what was the point.

Murder at the Cottage: The Search for Justice for Sophie: 1x01 Episode 1

So far it's way overly sensationalised. Will watch one more episode to see

The Delta Force

I thought that this was going to be terrible. Then the hijacking, although racist and awful, was fairly well done and I thought maybe I've misjudged this film.
I had not.
Gets worse the longer it goes on and the more Norris is in it. Teerible

Full Nicholas Cage, with alien lovecraftian horror.

Totally preposterous, but for what it is it's well done.

Tenet

Technically very good, action scenes were tense. Acting all very believable. But no heart and without that you just don't have a very good film
