Red Eye (2024)
Tense and thrilling
Sure there are a couple of plot holes, phones unlocking without eyes being open and maybe the plane had too much fuel but sometimes stuff like that is required to keep the story moving forward! I was absolutely HOOKED by this show! Binged it over 2 days (would have been one if my husband didn't insist) I loved the unraveling and tension and the pace was so good. I have adhd so sometimes I struggle concentrating if the show isn't interesting enough and I did not have that problem at all.
Insert more characters because for some inane reason Amazon requires reviews to be long. What happened to simple "hey this is cool, you should watch it" reviews 😞
Ted Lasso (2020)
Started off so strongly!
I have no interest in football, but this show almost made me vaguely interested which is no small thing! The first two seasons were SO good, touching and oh so funny. Lots of cliches but the writing was so good that it didn't matter! I have no idea what happened in the writing room for season 3 but I can only assume it involved someone who shouldn't have been there. No longer was I cackling along with the characters but instead rolling my eyes. And don't get me started on Nathan, the attempt to redeem him was ridiculous and I found his interest in Jade the host at the Greek restaurant to be creepy and as a woman, know she would never have looked twice at him after his weird creepy behaviour. ALSO whoever laid his wig needs a new job.
Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021)
Cobbled together
Didn't flesh out the character of Shriek. Some parts felt poorly edited. Woody's acting was wooden af. The ending was bs. If it wasn't for Venom's acting/lines this would be truly truly the worst movie ever.
Martin Clunes: My Travels and Other Animals (2019)
Has Martin Clunes had a head injury we are unaware of?
The things that he seemed to find acceptable was mind boggling. A giant goofy smile on his face as he pulls on an elephants ears to climb up its trunk?? He seemed naive but I refuse to believe that a 60 year old man is naive, more likely that he is ignorant and chooses to stay that way. So disappointing as I've loved some of his acting.
Catfish UK (2021)
What a shame
I used to be a huge fan of Catfish US and a few (many) seasons in it started to get pretty stale but continued to watch because I love Nev (and Kamie/Max) and it seemed to be the consensus online that it was most people's opinion. I was pretty surprised that we were getting a UK version this late in the game but thought I'd give it a go while I eat my breakfast. This was not good, the presenters are lovely but I think having an existing partner team would have probably been better for chemistry etc. (Nev & Max's chemistry was fantastic) the story was as old as time but spun as something new and dramatic(?) I actually zoned out a few times even without anything to distract me. 5+ years ago this would have felt fresher, and it was being asked for, if memory serves me right.
Believe Me: The Abduction of Lisa McVey (2018)
Amazing
What a fantastic story! Beyond compelling. 1 and a half hours of my time we'll spent for once!
Extraction (2020)
Ok but not satisfying.
Watched on a Sunday afternoon expecting a big juicy burger with fries and a shake and getting instead, a bowl of pasta in a bland sauce with Diet Coke. I was giving it a 6 until the last Farhad scene, my husband and I both screamed F OFF! At the tv as it was unrealistic and stupid. The last scene with Nik in was stupendous was though *italian chefs kiss*
Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020)
Margot Robbie and Ella Basco are the saving graces
Jurnee a close runner up. Ewan McGregor unbelievable and why exactly does he have to be "mad"? Rosie Perez isn't an awful actress but she was miscast in this film and was wholly unbelievable as a detective. Enjoyed Harley's pet and the death at the end. Fight scenes were quite enjoyable and realistic but particularly enjoyed Harley's scenes with the bike on her roller skates.
