FANTASTIC
What can I say ? From the cool and easy 1960's USA to James Franco himself and every supporting actor involved this is a great tv series. Growing up in 80's Australia and watching a lot of movies made in the US in the 60's and 70's really made this series extremely watchable for me. If only it was true and time portals existed I think many people would go back to this era. There could be so many tv series and movies made in this context, it's an untapped genre that could be used for anything from Adam and Eve to the moon landing. Again the master Stephen King has outdone himself (didnt think that was possible). Do yourself a favour and watch this in a weekend.
Kærlighed for voksne (2022)
Was expecting a lot more
I do love the scandi movies and tv series but this was dismal.
Actually the storyline was ok (hence the 1 star) but the acting was the worst I have ever seen in all my years of watching movies.
Acting seemed forced and amateurish, it was as if they hadn't even been to acting school.
I endured it just to see the ending.
This film could have been so much better with 2 different lead actors. The husband and wife should not be allowed to even call themselves professional actors as they are an embarrassment to the profession.
Do yourself a favour and avoid this at all costs. I would get more enjoyment out of a cartoon.
Hyena Road (2015)
One of the worst war movies I have seen
OMG where do I start. The acting in this is so poor and so unbelievable it's a tragedy.
The storyline is good and it could have been a great movie if they employed believable actors. Not 1 actor was even close to being believable.
It was like watching a c grade action movie.
Pick up your game Canada.
There were some really good action sequences in this film but yet again let down by horrible acting.
The research done on the lingo and the weapons etc were done well.
I would not rate this 3 out of 10 so had to give it a 2 out of 10.
Could have been so so so much better.
Dont waste your time.
The Hustle (2019)
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels rip off
Even after the first 5 mins I knew this was a complete rip off of Steve Martins and Michael Caines classic original Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Nearly every scene is a copy. Even the train scene is nearly word for word. Shame on the writer (did they actually write anything) ??? And the producer for complete film plagiarism (is that a thing ? It should be) Anne Hathaway is great to look at and is a fantastic actress but the aussie Rebel Wilson is, well, Australian (need I say more ) ? Her performance is far from the professional and learned acting of Anne. This movie is lucky to get 2 stars from me and I am Australian.
North Sea Connection (2022)
Meh
I thought this was going to be an edge of the seat crime drama but alas its quite poor and I was underwhelmed. Acting was lame at best. Have seen better acting on aussie and US soaps. The setting in Galway was beautiful and the storyline, even tho its been used many times over in other dramas, was set to be a cracker, the poor acting of all those involved let this down. The reviewers that gave it 10 out of 10 mustn't have watched many crime dramas and probably live in a cave of some sort. This could have been so much more with better actors. Does make you want to visit Galway and work on a fishing boat tho. 4 out of 10 from me.
Keep Breathing (2022)
Very average
Started out promising but by episode 2 I found myself fast forwarding the flashback garbage and just watching the "surviving" the wilderness bits and even those were pretty rubbish. This could have been a very good series if it had focused on the survival outdoor aspect of it, but the constant flashbacks totally destroyed it for me. By episode 3 I just got bored with it. Cant be bothered watching any more of it. Netflix has seemed to be travelling on a downhill spiral lately with their below average offerings.
The Gray Man (2022)
Bourne on steroids
I think this is a pretty good movie. Loads of action and some amazing stunts. Ryan and Chris played their roles very well. Plot was a tad "easy". Definitely a must see movie of 2022.
Deadlock (2021)
Absolute rubbish
OMG is this Bruce's worst ever movie ? I think so. No wonder its gone straight to Netflix. Acting is soooo bad by every single actor including Bruce. I got 26 mins into this film and had to switch it off. Cringeworthy acting by everyone. Dont even bother thinking about watching this. Acting is forced and rigid. Its like they are all robots acting like plastic mannequins pretending to be human. Pity I couldn't give zero stars as thats what its worth.
Formula 1: Drive to Survive (2019)
Eye Opener
This is a brilliant series. You get to see glimpses of what really goes on behind the scenes. Drivers, teams, owners and crews emotions, up and downs and even up close and personal to some of their private lives. Also what really goes into operating a team, costs, logistics etc etc.
If you love F1 then this series is must.
The Utah Cabin Murders (2019)
1 star for trying
OMG 1 minute into the opening scene and I knew this was going to be a poor failure of a movie, watched about half hour and its just lame. Horrible acting and storyline. Should be an F grade horror. Not even worth going straight to DVD let alone Netflix. Give it a huge miss.
Midway (2019)
Hmmm not too bad
While i liked this movie effects wise and historically wise, i found the acting by all involved to be stiff and forced. The CGI was ok but you can easily tell its computer generated. Hence 5/10.
Prey (2021)
Lame
Oh man, this is just so BAD. So many things in the story don't make sense. 5 guys against 1 woman ? Cmon. Way to much hugging and back slapping. Blokes dont do this. Also they call police from the car using 110 which is the german police number but at the store they get answered with 911 whats your emergency, which is US only. Slow, poor acting, only redeeming feature is the beautiful location which is why it just got a 2 from me.
SAS: Red Notice (2021)
Horrible movie
OMG this is just plain BAD, as in not good, horrible acting from everyone, bad plot and just weak in every aspect. Ruby Rose is just a tattooed pin up girl, nothing more, her acting skills are lame.
Family (2018)
So good
This is funny, refreshing and very entertaining. Taylor Schilling is brilliant. Easily worth a watch.
Trial by Fire (2018)
Movie should have been burnt.
This is total rubbish. From the bad acting at the very start, through the trial where the prosecutor even quotes the bible to the jury to help with a conviction (what a joke) Laura Dern is the only saving grace, hence the 2 stars. I now know why it was a TV movie. Give it a miss.
The 2nd (2020)
The 2nd worse film EVER ???
Yawn this was a complete disaster from the outset. You instantly knew it was going to bomb when the suicide bomber at the beginning blew himself up and the explosion radius went about 5 metres.
Horrible acting and poor camera work and directing
Give this a big miss.
River Runs Red (2018)
Soooo bad
OMG this is soooo bad.
The acting is just plain horrible by everyone involved, even John Cusak is bad whom I expected more from.
Don't waste your time on this
Mosul (2019)
Powerful
Super powerful movie. So sad for the unarmed innocent civilians in Mosul and all the war torn countries.
Real life news cannot prepare you for this nor does it show you what really happens in this part of the world.
Watch it to have a better understanding of the conflict in the Middle East.
Pretty good acting and effects. Well directed.
Cardboard Gangsters (2017)
Pity
Wish I could have watched all of this but turned it off after 10 mins, couldn't understand a word they were saying
Instant Family (2018)
Laugh, cry, laugh, cry.......
WOW this is such a great movie.
Both me and my sister are adopted and this film really hit home.
I was literally laughing one minute then crying the next and I am a relative tough aussie (we never cry)
Rose Byrne and Mark Wahlberg are perfect together, such amazing chemistry on screen.
Trauma Center (2019)
Poor
OMG has Bruce lost his ability to act ?
Its like he is a new actor from days of our lives.
Really bad acting by all involved, the 2 bad guys are so unbelievable.
3 stars if that.
The Combination: Redemption (2019)
Good story for todays topics
I liked the story. Very apt for todays society in Australia.
The acting tho is sooo bad. Its actually worse than neighbours and home and away which I thought would be impossible.
Also no gangsters walk around with a shoulder holster in plain view of the public lol.
Such a pity the awful acting let this down.
Why Women Kill (2019)
Absolutely Brilliant
This series is fun, quirky, sweet, devious and cute.
Lucy Liu is amazing.
Its much like Desperate Housewives but less serious.
Look forward to season 2
In the Shadow of the Moon (2019)
Poor acting and even worse storyline
This movie started out great, with a good looking plot and an interesting murder story but the poor quality of acting let it down. I got to halfway thru it and ended up stopping the movie and not watching anymore it was that bad.
Bron/Broen (2011)
Brilliant Danish/Swedish Crime Drama
This full series of 4 has arrived down here in Australia courtesy of SBS.
What a refreshing and real crime drama.
So so much better than the rubbish we are constantly bombarded with on our commercial tv channels.
Series 1 was really addictive and binge worthy. The characters are well thought out and fantastically played by all actors. The plot stretches for 10 episodes but never gets boring or dragged out.
Looking forward to watching the remaining 3 series.
