I really wanted to like this film but found myself becoming aggravated by the lead actress's appearance, attitude and meanness towards her boyfriend. I was expecting a comedy and this was definitely not that. In a nutshell? I hated it.

Afghan Luke
(2011)
Just Another Bad Movie
2 June 2021
The first thing I noticed was the sound. It doesn't sound like a feature film - or even a TV drama. Luke, an aspiring journalist who takes himself way too seriously, is an unlikeable sod who believes a rumour that a Canadian Forces sharpshooter is chopping off fingers of dead Taliban fighters - a war crime. The story lacks ambition and imagination; the writing is comical leaving me thinking I was watching a mockumentary. Don't waste your time on this one. It's really quite bad.
Atomic Blonde
(2017)
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
18 October 2020
I'm a sucker for stylish movies with great soundtracks and Atomic Blonde's soundtrack is especially good. Charlize Theron is amazing and edgy as Lorraine Broughton, a killer elite spy with MI6. Without giving anything away, the ending is a nice surprise. This film is similar in style and feel to Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will watch it again.
Perfect High
(2015 TV Movie)
Surprisingly Real
20 April 2019
I had this on in the background while going about my day, but something in the dialogue made me pay closer attention. This is NOT your everyday teen fluff piece. It's dark and gritty and real. It slowly builds the story of opiate addiction from innocently getting hooked on oxy's after a painful injury, to the partying that new addicts enjoy, to the resulting reality of getting really sick from withdrawal and the search for ever stronger drugs leading to heroin use and heroin addiction. I don't want to give away anything more but if you happen to see this in your tv listings, you should definitely watch it.
