Silent Witness (1996– )

Originally outstanding

[29 September 2021]

The last two series have let it down, unfortunately! Writing has gone awry and some of the actors cannot act. Lucky there are still two stalwarts left acting!

Vigil (2021– )

Not a bad story...

[3/10 · 29 September 2021]

...unfortunately let down by the lack of research making it very frustrating to watch. Quite frankly I as pulling my hair out in the end. Yes it's a 'story' & not a 'documentary' . Still, research should always play a big part and the lack of it consequently ruined it.

SAS: Red Notice (2021)

Waste of time!

[1/10 · 22 July 2021]

Andy!!!! You really thought this 'Film' was okay to release?!!

Absolute rubbish - I'd rather watch paint dry if given the choice again.

The Blair Witch Project (1999)

Undoubtedly the most..

[1/10 · 20 March 2021]

....disappointing film ever. I've seen animated films more frightening and quite frankly cannot see what all the fuss was about. Waste of time - goodness knows how I can get that time back...

Tenet (2020)

Who made the comparison with Bond?!

[4/10 · 30 January 2021]

Well - Absolutely nothing like it. Disappointing really and found it quite bizarre!! Rating was for the SFX - and nothing else really. I found the height difference between Elizabeth Debicki and everyone else in the cast questionable - as in why? To me the continuity was wrong. I'd have preferred my main man Idris Elba to play the leading role - no offence, he's just a better actor!

Finding Alice (2021)

Really ITV?

[5/10 · 20 January 2021]

Quite frankly I found it annoying and a waste of my time. I did give it a chance and sat through two episode. The cast high quality - let down by poor script I feel. Just downright disappointing.

Black Narcissus (2020)

Too tame...

[6/10 · 1 January 2021]

...had the opportunity of being so much more! The storyline is very good and it had so much potential. Disappointing really, as the list of actors was impressive and no bad performances. A sprinkle of sex, violence and some ruffty tuffey fun would have been excellent!!

Warrior (2019–2023)

Quite simply the best thing since sliced bread.

[10/10 · 20 December 2020]

Fight sequences are outstanding, acting is top notch, it's well written, produced and directed. Come on! Bruce Lee's daughter is one of the producers, can't be anything else but brilliant!! Seriously? Need I say anything else?

3022 (2019)

Disappointing

[1/10 · 1 October 2020]

What a shame...not a bad idea really, cast let themselves down really....and the writing was OTT (over the top)

Absolutely awful. .

Terminator: Dark Fate (2019)

How I hoped it wouldn't be...

[2/10 · 19 September 2020]

Not going to waste my time with a review on this...however...Absolutely shocking and out of respect for the original I've given this a two.

Penny Dreadful: City of Angels (2020)

Penny awful

[2/10 · 1 July 2020]

Really?!! Why?! It doesn't live up to its namesake, so why on earth mention it in the same breath?? If this had been a 'new series' then it might of had a chance. It doesn't. I watched two episodes and I expected some connection with the original series....absolutely nothing at all. So disappointed...

Bancroft (2017–2020)

Proof read by ex-Police? No a chance

[3/10 · 1 January 2020]

No procedures, no challenging when stepping out of line?? What first aider does not wear appropriate gloves & then treat a wound without disinfecting herself, then use toilet paper to treat the wound....and then not scrub after...I'm sure all Police marksman shoot an armed gunman in the leg too....laughable really!!

Smokin' Aces (2006)

A wannabe Guy Richie film....

[4/10 · 30 December 2019]

.....not a bad effort though. Enjoyed it, decent music and cast! Perhaps just tried too hard.

The Witcher (2019– )

A true honest review

[7/10 · 20 December 2019]

Some very good actors in this series. I find it "trying too hard" & wanting to be more like GOT... The first episode left me thinking what a waste of talent....poor script & comes across rushed. I don't think I'll be wasting my time on episode two...

Tomb Raider (2018)

Seriously?!!

[1/10 · 3 January 2019]

Really disappointed with the acting bearing in mind you do have quality actors in it. Original films are far superior.l to this - if you liked them, I suggest not to bother watching this!

Dirty Dancing (2017 TV Movie)

Waste of time so don't bother!!

[1/10 · 22 April 2018]

The original film is/was amazing. Acting? What acting? Singing? A little of that! Dancing? You call that dancing!!!! Wast of time so don't bother!
