Spooks: Darkest Hour (2008)
Everyone is after everyone else
Is no one legit in MI5 are all governments after each other?
Making out now it's Connie who is the corrupt one
I'm only watching this series to the end for sheer laughter rolling of eyes and background noise
I can see why it didn't get renewed.
So I guess we can all be so happy that we can only hope that in real life MI5/6 are legit and not corrupt like all these idiots
How this went so far is beyond me
I have to fill up another 160 characters so clearly dribbling now and still don't understand it all but hoping that ASIO in my country are far more legit and have more brains than the writers of this.
Spooks: Split Loyalties (2008)
Omg seriously?!
I just keep watching thinking it's gonna get better but WTF it appears that EVERYONE of high rank is corrupt. Please tell me that the real MI5 do not randomly recruit "would be" journalists to be their spooks! Funny how they seem to be these great operators with minimal (if any) training!
So they kill off Adam....now they get Ros to be in charge yet not so long ago she was firstly just a random with a rich Daddy who was corrupt and with HER help tried to overcome the government THEN they recruited HER to be a Spook then she went double agent they "forgave her" then gamely killed her off then she reappears when Adam dies and they want her in charge! This is becoming a complete soap opera of BS.
Spooks: Hostage Takers: Part 2 (2006)
It's never too late to review
I know this series is 20 years old but I started watching it a week ago. So.....they have a few "stars" leaving obviously so they can do other things, kill off Danny and what's with the recruiting of a would be journalist who ironically appears to be weapons trained and appears to be top notch at their secretive ways as is with the daughter of corrupt politician who was against them and suddenly she is recruited to work and she also appears to be up to speed on the workings of MI5 and weapons. Why kill Colin off?? I'm really confused of their reasons!
Good to see Aussie Matt Day make a 2 episode appearance even though he was a baddy.
SEAL Team: Chaos in the Calm Pt. 2 (2024)
Was a fan
I was always a fan of David from his Buffy/Angel days.....now after all you read about him and he is an executive producer on Seal Team I'm wondering if he is starting to be like Alan Alda in M*A*S*H and making it all about HIM?!
Yep you have TBI and the boss but seriously.....I know this is the last season and I guess they are telling a story but apart from being "shipped out to Sweden" and the. Oh look a territorial act happens. It was well put together the makeup team deserve a medal! Being a paramedic I can tell you these injuries were totally spot on and authentic looking! Luckily the mother died as there is NO WAY that she would have survived in any situation. Miracously someone had a syringe in their handbag for the kid!? Overall let's see how the rest of the last season plays out. Still not happy he has Mandy as a GF......their prior relationship seems a bit odd they got together.
House of Cards (2013)
No Kevin no show
I have only given this a 10 for the Kevin era after he went the show went downhill so far it wasn't worth watching after the first 2 episodes
The first was watched to see how they are going to "kill off" Frank and it was as expected TERRIBLY and the second was only watched to see if it survived and of course it did not...Robin Wright was good as the "second" star and back up bi%ch but as the main....nope......I'm still at a loss that you can be fired for alleged misconduct and that it was not proven but that's Hollywood and "Metoo" ruining an innocent life and destroying a once brilliant series
I'm sure the writers/directors/producers etc are kicking themselves now.
Resident Alien (2021)
Yaaah S4 coming
I was so excited when I actually only stumbled across season 3 yaaah I was sad when Insaw the last episode of S2 thinking it was the last
Alan is the funniest person to walk this earth! He is so talented from his comedic characters in Death at a funeral and Knoghts Tale etc
This series is so awesome
It's funny it has it's bizarre moments and even slightly teary ones I noticed IMdB has a season 4 coming so that's something to be excited about
It's a great adaption from the comic and glad they made Harry a funny guy not the way the cartoon was.
All the players in this are perfect, their own backstories are actually interesting and funny
Well written and well played
Hope there is many more to come.
Too Good to be True (2024)
A different name in australia
So here in Australia it's called Captivated.....doesn't change the fact it's an age old "thriller" story with twists and turns and yawn yawn. The casting was a swift turn using "lovely matured Tom" from
Downton Abbey as the "baddie" and of course a beautiful woman as the victim, let's bring in a kid for good measure and twist it up with an assistant who seems to be all "team Elliot" until the end!! Yawn
So on that note of spoilers.....so many many things were so rank but it's for the viewers.....and now leaves so many questions.....why was she such a horror to Simone in the end as it was her that called the police......really a small statured slim woman can do that?! Well done WWW new starter!
Aaah ok so IMDB have this a SEASON 1 so let me guess......the kid has instantly turned into a psychopath jist from 1 incident, 1 sentence and a photo.....OMG yawn again but sadly will probably watch it on a rainy day
The main characters are great actors.....were they in need of a pay check?
RED (2010)
Hilariously awesome
Yep it's full of "as if"s "yeah right" "no way" yet it's so awesome
All the oldies getting together and making a movie that's so over the top and so enjoyable to watch. That's what a great action movie is full of "whaaaaaat"
So we have Bruce in his geriatric action flick with all the moves PERFECT
Morgan Freeman being the smooth cool dude again
John Malkovich as the crazy nutter that he pulls off brilliantly
Brian Coz doing a brilliant Russian Spy and the most decorated beautiful fabulous actress Dame Helen Mirren being one bad ass baby!!!
I love how they put in a love I treat for Bruce and Mary-Louise is a treat to watch.
Also thank you for including the incredibly sexy handsome Keith Urban
Looking forward to #2
I'm sure it will be full of a bunch of new "As if"s that will keep me laughing and entertained.
Parks and Recreation: Moving Up: Part 1 (2014)
This is coming from an Australian
Ok watching P&R again after 10'years.....I'm an Aussie so American politics means Jack to me BUT......it's hilarious watching now as Leslie has a crush on Joe Biden who I NOW know who that is and even funnier as he is old and senile now and then to have Michelle Obama appear even funnier as she was not a First Lady then and the whole scene just had me in laughs
Even a few seasons back when Biden appeared I must say WOW 10 years were not kind to him!!
Anyhoo we can see why there is only 1 more season left as it's obvious they have run out of ideas.
Also wish the screamer bought a different "act" to the show as that's the only way I have ever seen him in his acts as screaming yawn zzzz.
Dybbuk Box: The Story of Chris Chambers (2019)
😂😂😂😂😂
Omg......where do I begin?
Ok so no I'm not into horror or paranormal blah blah but had an hour to spare so thought, yeah okay.......well it was a great laugh! Now Chris, is it acting you are trying to get into but got rejected by Bachelor and bachelorette or any other insanely scripted reality show or are you trying to show how much of a "great" movie maker you are?
Yep as others have said soooo many flaws!! Why does Sarah not smell the "hideous" smell of the box? Only thing Sarah has going is her lovely hair. She's not a great actor and pleeeeese bringing up a childhood trauma (which is clearly BS) mate if you are walking around trying to depict sleep deprivation then you either didn't google to effects or read them wrong 😑
Why? Why did you feel you had to put a glass smashing on your head in? It had no point and the bed....ha ha ha ewwww poltergeist ha ha and the eventual slapping of the lamp ha ha ha ha give him credit for actually standing in front of the camera for over an hour to "prove his insanity" and the last post......poor mum and dad in Fort Worth ha ha ha
Thanks for the laughs Chris.....who we never hear from again 🙄😂
A League of Their Own (1992)
Love it
I guess after the 40+ time of watching this movie I can comment now.
In my youth I loved it so much and saw it over and over. It displayed a remarkable based a true story tale. Now in my elder years I can say that Kit was a brat and over actor but apart from that it bought the war years back beautifully, all the extras were in line with the theme, Penny as always did a terrific job with the right balance of comedy, drama and tear jerking. Love how Penny bought squiggly back and gave her brother a bit part as they both did in each others movies.
Although Peaches lost the series and Kit, well yeah she finally got her 5mins of fame she was bleeding for it had to be kept to the script of "truth"
The ending is great as Penny has honoured the true players of that era displaying their pictures. I still cry when the telegram is given and when Dottie hears of Dugan death at the reunion
One of my all time favs.
Sweet Tooth (2021)
Glad I was told to watch
I had seen this on Netflix advertising, never took too much of an I great thinking it was more for children etc.
A friend told me that I should have a look......so glad I did.
Now apart from some of the Teri Le acting of several of the hybrids which can be easily overlooked and or forgotten.
The story is great, having that lingering thought of why are babies all born hybrid kept you going knowing that you will find out in the end. I'm
Glad
I started this late so I could binge the whole series at my level (2 days 🙄)
I think it's more teens and above minimal swearing but a few vicious things happen.
It's one of those stories where you say "omg when re they going to die"!? Some very horrid characters in this story that of course had to be there and a few twists on some other good? Bad!
Overall very happy they finished the story off before dragging it out like most people do for the money and wonder why if ended up flopping.
Designated Survivor: The Final Frontier (2018)
Hmmmm
Now I loved the first season
I'm not American but still wonder even if Trump was still in charge would it be this bad? How many twists and turns on nearly every character! Sleeping with the enemy, fav character dies, son deals drugs, staff member covering for brother, staff kidnapped in Cuba, I mean my god where does it end! This kind of over the top never happened in west wing so I am really concerned that the writers are now going with shock and awe than actual dramas that may ACTUALLY happen. I'm still watching as I love Kiefer and have grown to like many others involved
P.s. You picked correct Charlie!!
Priscilla (2023)
Slow........zzzzzzz
Wow what a slow burn yawn! I can't imagine too many of the actors would have forgotten their lines! Hardly any were spoken and when done it was only a few words.....I'm sure it doesn't really depict the true story. How would any of us know the truth unless we weee Pricilla or Elvis.
I thought the ending was abrupt and a little disappointed that Sophia had her name to this.
Not sure if The Aussie actor is waaay tall or Pricilla is a shorty but boy do you see that clearly with them together. He was great in saltburn so I'm blaming the script that made me feel like a I was on the downers he was on.
Elsbeth (2024)
Loving it!!
I am really loving this series
I first came across Elsbeth in the Good Fight and thought wow what a quirky character, was even happier when they branched out a spin off about her!
Carrie Preston is a wonderful actress and really carries this character off with charm, humour (some annoyance) but overall a wonderful person.
In case anyone reads this and is unaware she is married to Micheal Emerson (person of interest, fallout) who also plays quirky characters
I'm liking the different episodes and pleased it's not always murder but other areas of justice.
Very happy it has been renewed for a second season.
Madam Secretary: Thin Ice (2018)
Settle Jason
Unlike all the other reviews about the political stuff I just felt it's about time Insaid if Jason was my kid he would get a clip over his ear for his obnoxious entitled attitude with no respect and borderline narcissistism
He is truly the worse character of the whole family
Alison can be a border of self entitlement too and some of her stories have been a bit boo hoo as with Stephanie. I do like that they bring some stories in about extended family members and that they are very big income earners but jeez this episode nearly had me throwing things at the TV for Jason's whole blah blah. Call me a whinge........
FBI: Consequences (2024)
Great Comedy
As others have written......where do I start?!
Yep Jubal would have been taken off this assignment for conflict of interest with the relationship
Oh but hey he wasn't so let's get him to go and see if he can talk to the kid but nope not home so let's have a catch up with Daddy
Daddy gets all defensive once the kid is outed and the drugs are found Jubal wont destroy drugs so he then turns on Jubal 🙄
Dad picks up kid then says he ran out of car to the bridge but dad remains in the car when FBI approached the car....huh? You just let your kid run off without going after him?
Blah blah the scenes go on now in the last hostage scene
Heavily guarded by SWAT & FBI but oh look daddy can come running in to take him as hostage (his experience would be that he is worthless to them)
His actions gets the kid shot that then allows perp to wrestle with J that seems strange as, again, SWAT everywhere that would have taken him down but nope gotta get that "gun went off (who died)" scene before anybody bothers to "save Jubal" pan over to crying father.....
WORST EPISODE EVER.
Sons of Anarchy: One One Six (2013)
What is going on?
So they finally got rid of the weirdo Potter (although returns in Maylens MC sadly) and to replace that they have bought in another complete looney in the shape of an EX Marshall......seriously are there no by the book decent police in America??
I have quite a few more episodes till Clay finally gets his and sadly Inhave to wait a while for his bi&$h to finally get her just deserts.
I will watch it to the end as I gotta see how it all comes out and being a late viewer I did cheat and read the synopsis way ahead of each episode cause I was losing it not having clay and Gemma gone!
All the good ones went and will go early.
FBI: Best Laid Plans (2024)
Now we're talking!!!!!
Ok this is a great episode!!!! Not much on the back stories so that's a plus and was short and sweet with Scola and Nina allowing it only to exist in the last words. THANK YOU for not banging on about the Tiff story as that is getting on my nerves & not a fan of boo hoo poor Tiff storyline.
I have to say it's been a while that I have had the adrenaline rising watching an episode as the writers seem to finally got it right how it REALLY happens and gets laid out.
It's definitely one I would watch over and not pick any "yeah, as if's" and even continuity was spot on!
Let's hope this continues with the following episodes.
FBI: Phantom (2024)
Enough Tiffany!
Please put Tiffany on desk duties!! What she did is totally disciplinary actions!!!
I found the storyline good, I understand that scola and tiff need more camera time but why do it this way?! Yes grieve about your friend but what Hobbs wife said in the end is perfect GO AWAY and let me move on.
She is supposed to be a mature adult but her difiant ways were so drama cliche and became really annoying
Oh ok saved by the "news at hand" hakim IS in NY but seriously the way she went about it was laughable along with are you serious outcries
Because of her there was an innocent bystander bought into the mix, thank god the writers didn't kill her off!
I love scola.
Ricky Stanicky (2024)
Impressed
I'm rating higher as it's filmed in Victoria Australia with some great Aussie greats and that they are joined by some American greats. I'm glad that Australia can show that we have some good talents here and glad that Americans are happy to come "down under" and "play" with us ha ha
Now the movie itself is a typical up/down "feel good" type script with some predicatable jokes but all up it's a no brainer for a lazy afternoon watch.
Cena is clearly more than brawn he has done some good parts and this one he plays well.
Give it a go and I hope the Americans like our Heather Mitchell and various others that played it well.
Good Grief (2023)
Pretty Good and Levy Shines
I found Sophie really quite annoying, she was so entitled loud and Don't smoke in that beautiful house ffs!
Now that I got that out, Levy, as expected, was brilliant. I loved the "twist" card from Oliver
Now I'm not sure if it's just me but are these 3 really that close? They all seemed to be lying to each other, hiding things! My friends and I told each other everything from the good to the bad! I'm straight and not sure if it is any different in the gay world of relationships, I've always thought it would be same or similar but I don't really understand these 3 maybe I've missed something. Even the heart to heart on the Ferris wheel ......
But all up was a tear jerker, an OMFG 🙀 and funny
Ps why did they not ask Luca for his key the minute he walked in the door.
FBI: Most Wanted: Above & Beyond (2024)
Hmmmm becoming too many back stories
Ok where to start
Ok Kristen is gone.....let me know anyone who actually knows WHY she left both character and actor!
Oh look Nina is coming to replace her! Ok so she clearly wanted a kid but doesn't really want to be there for him because "baby daddy" & nanny is there, so she said on a few occasions and seriously when in a car chase why did she have to put in those faces of grimace when going around a corner just like kids do on a gaming racing game?!
Enough with the one liners Boss "I'm not going anywhere and nothing you can do about it so get used to it" omg seriously?!
Sad to see Hobbs die,
FBI: International: June (2024)
Over dramatic
Why is international writing different to the other 2?
This episode (there have been others) where it appears that nearly all main characters got their 3 secs of close up cringes to the face, dramatically hitting a wall whilst leaning on it with head bowed.
Seriously for FBI agents working in foreign areas they really seem a bit "soft" and way over the top with their reactions!
Great story that an American vascular surgeon "best of the best" just happens to be in a conference less than an hour away to be able to be picked up and ferried to the hospital to be able to walk right in and start operating and please AGAIN with the eye acting (due to masks being worn) and head nodding of 2 surgeons who have never met is hilarious.
Hoping next week will be less drama acting and more story.
Disparu à jamais (2021)
Waste of time
I really enjoy Harlems books.... I like his twists but this was such a lagging slow burn that there was no excitement finding out the twists,
I'm not sure if it was because it was a French spoken film but my god the acting......it was so lame! Did some of the dialogue get misinterpreted? The fight scenes looked like my brother and I acting them out as kids with our own choreography!
I was completely let down by this I ended up fast forwarding so much in the last episode as I was hoping there may have been an even bigger twist.......but alas it was a clique of hugs and sweet thoughts of the remaining 3 which of course was set by the beach YAWN.
