Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2011)
CHARMING
This movie just came on in the background of the hotel I am staying at. I had no idea what to expect but it turned out to be a pretty decent watch. Very well made. Touching. The characters have real charm and chemistry together. Its a bit of a silly premise and I would never in my life have gone out of my way to watch this but it got my attention and then I couldn't stop watching.
Its not a romance or a comedy or a drama per se. But it has all of those elements. The world may not be at stake but I was rooting for the leads.
Its an easy watch and I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't feel like watching anything too serious or intense.
Boiling Point (2021)
Too real.
I cooked for about ten years all over the place. Its a well known fact that a lot off people in the industry are substance abusers, including me. Any excuse to go out the back and have a swill. Its the tension. I knew as soon as I saw that water bottle what was in it. You try to leave personal stuff at the door but under those kinds of stresses things add up. When any little mistake cascades and snowballs into pure chaos... when you have a ticking clock and no pliers to cut the wires, let alone know which one to cut.
This movie is a masterpiece if film making. The performances are incredible.
Books of Blood (2020)
INTENTIONALY BAD?
This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Why cant we get some decent Barker material to film for gods sake. Who makes something like this and says "yeah, this is fine"?
I don't mind crappy horror. Its what I've come to expect. There are literally thousands of vids on youtube made by amatures that are better than this.
Boss Level (2020)
SURPRISINGLY HEARTFELT
Ok, so you get a bit of everything in this movie. Romance, gore, comedy, sci fi, action. It makes no sense whatsoever but its very entertaining. Great performances all round. Give it a shot for sure.
West of Sunshine (2017)
A TOTALY UNLIKEABLE CHARACTER
If there was meant to be a redeeming quality in our "protagonist" it was lost on me. So you cut your sons hair. The man has the opportunity at all times through the film to set things right. Is this a movie about child abuse? Imagine going through everything they went through that day then coming home with a smile on your face for mummy. I am missing something. It doesn't have to be a happy ending but surely you want this to end better off than how it started.
Jolt (2021)
There is some fun but sadly I cant recommend this.
Its hard to describe. It goes from silly to absurd with a few good scenes. I just wish it would commit to something. Either be just silly and fun or go 100% crazy but it does neither. This is an odd film with a great cast that doesn't take itself too seriously. It plays like a male power fantasy story cast with a female, which in some ways it really shines. Beckinsale sells it. Up until she goes Hulk and literally starts throwing guys around. There is some fun but sadly I cant recommend this.
The Field Guide to Evil (2018)
SKIP 'THE MELONHEADS'
Honestly, it starts of great and then just... don't expect it to get any better. I would go as far to say we need more like this just done a bit better.
The Counselor (2013)
HUBRIS

2. ASSIGN Ridley Scott to direct.
I am speechless.
Aunty Donna's Big Ol' House of Fun (2020)
WTF?
Surely people cannot find this funny. These are grown men acting like 9 year olds. May god have mercy on our souls.
Child 44 (2015)
READ THE BOOK
Way to turn a great book that would have made a great script into this zombified mess. Why did they have to change so much? It wouldn't have been hard to do a faithful adaptation of the novel. At all. What a waste.
Overlord (2018)
STUMBLES AT THE FINISH
This movie had me enthralled for the first third. Still had hope in the second. Third, Just wasn't as good. Pretty much everything about this movie is great. CGI, cinematography, cast, performances. Really charming chemistry but I just think they rushed into the whole zombie thing too fast. It was all done very well but it seemed like two different movies. I knew what I was getting into. The first part was played so straight and visceral and the last part was pure schlock. And I Like shlock but it was a bit too jarring.
Still worth a watch. Ill definitely be watching it again.
The Old Guard (2020)
COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER
Kind of poor all around. Music especially. It just felt forced. I wanted to like this but maybe something happened in production to mess it all up. Very very sloppy.
Replicas (2018)
COULDN'T STOP WATCHING
This is an odd movie. It's worth watching if only for its mind bending decisions. I just don't know what the hell happened to me. I was partially riveted and very confused. I still am.
As the credits roll I would have to say the best thing about this movie was the pancake scene. I could not stop laughing. Watch it just for that. You will know what im talking about. In fact I going to hit rewind right now.
Jonah Hex (2010)
A lesson in studio
The studio again. At times it is coherent but overall some people just wanted it to either fail or get it out of their hair. These actors deserve better.
Hellboy (2019)
breddy gud
Its silly, its funny, its gory, has some great action and is a lot more like the comics. It doesn't take itself too seriously though.
The only real bad thing about it is the music. Its almost got a (ergh) 'suicide squad' thing going. Who ever got their hands on it in the editing room needs the boots put to them because there is a better film in there I think. Shame.
Batman Ninja (2018)
LOOKS AMAZING, RIDICULOUS TO SEE.
Im kind of in shock right now. This film is beyond insane. Its cheesy beyond belief.
You have to see it to beleive it. Im telling you whoever made this is probably crazy. Watch at your own risk. I need a nap.
