This Is Us (2016)
Really enjoyed the series & it's a tearjerker
I really enjoyed watching this series after being recommended it by a colleague and friend at work. Unfortunately, because it's only available on Netflix in the USA I had to keep downloading 1 series at a time when I was in the US with work each week. But, I still managed to watch it all and loved it throughout.
The characters are realistic and really get you. The relationship between Jack and Bec is so believable in its entirety, and is really heartwarming.
The acting is great throughout, really professional and the characters are likeable. Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia are really quite stunning in this drama series. Fantastic acting! Loved it! Loved it! Loved it!
The Wrong Missy (2020)
Hilarious
Really funny film from start to finish. If you don't find this film funny then you're either far too serious in life or you don't have any sense of humour. It's a long the lines of 'Bridesmaids' in terms of humour. This film wasn't ever expected or down to win any major awards, however if it's proper laughs you want then this fits the brief. If you want an easy watch, then this is the one!
Lauren Lapkus is brilliant in this film, she's a great actor anyway, but very funny here and deserves some recognition.
I'm quite surprised they never made another follow on to this comedy, we need a lot more comedy in this world thats for certain!
Firefly Lane (2021)
What a masterpiece of a series
WOW! Just Wow! An amazing series throughout, what a roller coaster of a story. The directing, the casting, all of it is absolute gold. I was hooked from watching the first couple of episodes, laughter, tears, joy, frustration, so many emotions come through watching this series.
If you want to watch a series that has a true meaning, something that makes you feel like you've really spent your time well invested then I highly recommend watching this. Firefly Lane is one of the best series I've watched in ages, I didn't even look at my phone when I was watching it. 100% engaged throughout! Loved it.
In from the Side (2022)
Really enjoyed this film
How refreshing to watch a film that involves gay relationships and love, but doesn't revolve around coming out, the taking of drugs or HIV. (It does involve cheating on partners though, which is what people think gay men do all of the time anyway!)
Great to see gay men portrayed as everyday human beings, a mix of all types of men.
You can feel the emotion between the two main characters here, the love and heartache involved when someone is torn.
Not the ending I would have preferred...but even still, a great film and fantastic acting. I suppose not every film can end Happy Happy but I do wish it had ended better.
The Christmas Chronicles (2018)
My favourite Christmas Movie ever
This movie really is great. Kurt Russell as Santa is excellent, the best. The cast is great, acting and effects are amazing. The elves are so funny and cute, the elves really make this film with their cuteness and humour.
All of the special effects are really good, it really is my all time favourite Christmas film. A heart warming story of a family torn apart by loss, being brought back together through Christmas love and belief.
Watch this with your family and friends this Christmas, you won't be disappointed I promise. Even my partner liked this film and he's not big on Christmas.
Ho ho ho and Merry Christmas!!!!
Monster (2022)
A grippingly scary & true take on a monster.
The acting is incredibly captivating, a take on the truth of how the monster (Jeff Dahmer) murdered and tortured the innocent men he met. Quite shocking in many places but without unnecessary gore. A serial killer with evil intent who came to meet his fate at the very end of his sick and twisted actions.
Evan Peters is absolutely brilliant in this take on Jeffrey Dahmer, if you liked the Ted Bundy tapes and the film about him then you'll enjoy this limited series consisting of 10 hour long episodes.
Gripping, so much that I binge watched the whole limited series in two days. Acting is excellent throughout.
Heartstopper (2022)
I smiled the whole way through
Really great series. Addresses many LGBTQ issues at school and for teenagers.
So good to watch something void of swearing and loads of violence, made me smile a lot. Has been filmed in a really cute way too.
The Normal Heart (2014)
Heart wrenching story about HIV/AIDS epidemic
Amazing film. Fantastic cast. This is a heart wrenching film about the 1980's HIV/AIDS epidemic.
This film deserves a 10/10 & should be watched & understood by everyone.
Such a brave film, a brave subject and the actors are all incredible.
It's quite sad that films like this never make it to Theatre/Cinema and get the true respect and accolade they really deserve.
Halloween Kills (2021)
Always delivers
Another Halloween film... one of the last 3 (2nd to last ever Halloween film)
Another great addition to the set. Always delivers as a good slasher movie. If you don't understand the set of films or the story theb you might not get it... but it's a 10/10 for me.
Everybody's Talking About Jamie (2021)
As good as the show which is amazing
Really enjoyed this film! The show is excellent anyway but they've done such a great job with the film, it's brilliant. Great cast, emotional, great songs like the show with an addition of a really great song. A must watch.
It's a Sin (2021)
Incredible, moving, funny, real.
Absolutely incredible limited series. So real, so in touch & moving. The acting is excellent. One of the best t.v. series/productions I have seen for a very very long time.
Funny at times, real, sad... so many emotions watching this. Highly recommend watching this, it's a masterpiece.
Stage Mother (2020)
An unexpected gem
Really enjoyed this film from start to finish.
Great story line, with an emotional pull.
I can really relate to the relationships I have within my own family unit and those portrayed within this film so it really did touch many emotions for me.
The Prom (2020)
Such a great film!!!
Amazing film. Fantastic score throughout. Meryl Streep is incredible as usual. A really good cast, great singing. A film we really needed in 2020 when we've all had such a challenging year in so many ways.
Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)
Double Trouble!!!! :-)
I'm really not getting the negative reviews. This film is funny. It's bang on when it comes to Eurovision song contest humour and everything that goes with it.
Great cast! Funny! Rachel McAdams and Will Farrell are great in this film.
If you're a lover of Eurovision and light comedy then this is a must watch!
Death Becomes Her (1992)
Great 90's cult comedy classic
This is a great film. I've seen it several times and never become bored of it's comedy value, cast and execution. Love it!
Mannequin (1987)
Love this film. A classic 80's gem!
This is such a great 80's film. They don't make them like this anymore. A feel good classic with romance and a great hit song in it for good measure too!
The Good Liar (2019)
Great film, good plot, unexpected ending...
Really enjoyed this film. Helen Mirren is a great actor as is Sir Ian.
Great all the way through... interesting sorry line with an unexpected twist at the end.
A must watch!
Cold Pursuit (2019)
Excellent action/revenge!
Excellent 'Quentin Tarantino' style of film. Revenge/action packed with some dark humour. Great watch and a must see. I feel that this film got boycotted all because Liam got caught up in a press style mess the year of it's release and it is worthy of more.
Cats (2019)
After the bad reviews I was surprised at how much I liked it
After reading so many bad reviews on this film I was actually quite pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
After seeing the show in Wimbledon Theatre a few years back which I didn't enjoy at all in the slightest because it made no sense at all... I was curious to see the film.
The film has more of a story than the stage show and makes a lot more sense.
Quite clever how they have incorporated the chandelier from Phantom in it too.
RuPaul's Drag Race UK (2019)
Very entertaining!!!
Never watched RPDR before and I absolutely love it!! Crass and naughty, but makes a refreshing change from watching serious drama all the time.
The Lion King (2019)
Good but could've been better
Good flim but was a bit disappointed by the lack of feeling. Also upset that my favourite song from the London Theatre production of the Lion King wasn't used at all... 'he lives in you' They missed a trick.
Inside Look: The Assassination of Gianni Versace - American Crime Story (2017)
Excellent!! Great story...addictive
Great cast in this adaptation of the story behind the killing of Versace. Addictive, once you start watching this you'll want to watch the whole series.
