Truth Be Told (2019)
Probably the worst show since The I-Land
The dialogue is abysmal. People just don't speak like that. It's as if it had been written by an 8 year old.
The plot is obvious, boring and predicable.
The characters are cliches and unbelievable. The main character Poppy, is shallow and utterly unlikeable. She claims to feel guilt for 'sending an innocent man to prison' yet talks to him like a piece of dirt, at no point making any sort of apology. If he's an innocent man, as Poppy seems suddenly so convinced he is, she should be apologising from the bottom of her heart, it just makes no sense at all. She talks to his mother, who is dying of cancer, like she's doing her a favour, and again never apologies, and promises not to tell her convicted son she's dying of cancer(the one condition the mother sets if she will get her son to take a prison visit from Poppy), then tells him at the first opportunity. Utterly detestable.
Poppy's family are just a bunch of badly written tv soap cliches, the ... I am literally wasting minutes of my life on this.
Just avoid. It's really an awful show.
The Matrix (1999)
Easily in my top 3 movies
The whole premise is superb. It's SciFi, it's exciting, mind bending ... just amazing.
Schindler's List (1993)
Masterpiece
Realistically this is a film most people will only ever watch once. It's incredibly powerful and distressing. It's not a film you enjoy, more one that you experience.
I've seen this twice. Once when it was released and then 27 years later. That's how long it took me to draw the courage to re-watch it.
The first time I watched it the entire cinema was silent throughout and not a single person moved when the credits rolled at the end. In fact, many people sat there in tears until the credits had ended, motionless in utter silence not wanting to be the first person to get up and leave for fear of being seen as unfeeling.
The second time I watched it was very recently and as I now have 3 children, particular parts of it were gut wrenchingly miserable to watch, as a father.
No matter who you are or where you are from, you need to see this film at least once in your life. Despite its age, it stands as a timeless masterpiece of cinema.
Man Down (2015)
Far better than I expected
I'm not a fan of Shia the Beef and wasn't expecting much from this film other than some action and some easy trash watching. I was very surprised at actually how well Beef acted in this. It's a bit confusing at times but the heart breaking end had me swallowing a lump in my throat.
I suspect PTSD manifests itself differently between individuals and if this even gives a flavour of something most of us will never experience then job done.
Thought the critics were a bit hard on this movie.
