Confessions of a Sexist Pig (1998)
Awful
Not a film I'd recommend as both the script and acting are of a very low quality, even by predictable romcom standards. The two main characters are both unlikeable for different reasons, the male lead not much for being a 'sexist pig' as the film suggests, but more just for his overall arrogance and one dimensional personality. The female lead is fairly bland and goes from being uptight and sensible to hopelessly in love with 'Mr. Charisma' in a short span of time. Neither have any real chemistry with the other.
The direction seems to take some inspiration from movies like Tootsie, it includes scenes of the TV medical soap which the two main characters star in, so at times we're meant to wonder which scenes are real and which are part of the show. It's not handled very well, however, and is overdone.
Troy: Fall of a City (2018)
Sing, goddess, of the wrath of the viewer.
I'll be brief, as I don't want want to waste as much time writing about this show as I did watching it. If (like me) you're a fan of both Ancient Greek history and myth, then don't watch this as you'll be disappointed. If you're a fan of Game of Thrones (also like me) and you're expecting something similar here, then again, don't watch, you'll be equally as disappointed! Avoid.
