Of Kings and Prophets (2016)
What was ABC Thinking?
Have just binge watched the entire first season of the amazing biblical production and have rated this a 10! Lets face it there have been some really dire biblical productions produced out there which had an overwhelming smell of low budget. However, Of Kings and Prophets was not one of these. I understand, at the time, that this production was compared to Game of Thrones and failed to impress viewers after the second episode. Sadly, this amazing production should have been compared to such movies as Troy, The 300 and Gladiator and TV series like Rome and Spartacus! An amazing production with a stellar cast! Sadly, ABC made a big mistake by not continuing with a Season Two of this well written and produced drama ranking itself as a company that fails to commit alongside Showtimes failure to finish The Borgias!
The Rig (2023)
Tedious at Best!!
Plot went from bad to worse within the first two episodes! ... A very badly written and acted Drama which remained very surprising, based on the list of well known performers taking part in this series.
If cluelessly running around an oil rig like headless chickens in a crisis is your thing then this will be very much enjoyed! ... I walked out of my own lounge after Episode Three knowing that there was absolutely no way I was going to sit through another three episodes and that neither the plot or acting was going to improve. I left the family binge watching the last three episodes based on the "Well we got this far we might as well see it through to the end" premise only to find that they had wasted 3 hours more of their lives than I did! ... lol! Very mediocre and very disapointing!
Reminiscence (2021)
Why?
Sorry just watched this film and I have got to say this rates as probably one of the top ten worst movies I have watched but there again I could have slept through the best bit! A top movie production with a top movie cast only to produce a "Mickey Spillane style love story In Venice" and that's all it was! The whole idea of a it being a futuristic, dystopian world had very little impact on the storyline and sadly the whole movie fell short .... very disappointing ... and boring!
Proximity (2020)
Jesus!....It Could Have Been So Much Better!
Sat through this thinking we may have a very rare but decent Sci-Fi film, sadly it wasn't the case. Okay it was a watchable yarn, but that's all it was. The budget was there the CGI and locations were there and everything about this film said quality but apart from some dodgy acting moments something just didn't click or gel. Again, the most important 10 minutes of First Contact dialogue at the end of the film was over shadowed by annoying and unnecessary music making it difficult to hear the dialogue...Why do movie producers insist on doing that these days!....Dialogue or music not both and certainly not at the same time!
Hollywood (2020)
Absolutely Brilliant!
What a first class Mini series brought to the small screen by Ryan Murphy! Superb acting by the entire cast who all played brilliant well rounded characters. Its so nice to see a refreshing, punchy, and up beat series that kept me glued from episodes 1-7 and boy did it have a story to tell. How different the world could have become if the Hollywood Studios and Film Critics of the 40's 50's and 60's had kept its Bigotry, Hate and Ignorance under greater control instead of following the sad and misguided assumption that the general public wanted the studios and critics to end up becoming some of the biggest discriminators of Race, Sex and Equality in the 20th Century! Historically, What a difference their influence could have made within a modern, tolerant and accepting society! ........Well Done Netflix and Well Done everyone who made this production possible!
The Best Mini Series so far this year!....You all deserve Oscars of your own!
Jojo Rabbit (2019)
Hmmmm!
Well there are now three categories of film Good Films, Bad Films and those that really test your tolerance levels sadly this is the latter!
What I don't understand is why all the hype? What is in the slightest way satirical about Nazism and the Holocaust. Of course, this has all been done before with both Mel Brooks The Producers and To Be or Not to be the difference being that both those productions were done with an element of taste. Personally, I'm convinced that both these productions were thrown in the dryer with a kid and a little bad taste and out popped JoJo Rabbit!...I Gave it 40 minutes and then went into the bedroom with a glass of wine and watched my paint dry.....a lot more fun!
Merry Happy Whatever (2019)
Canned Laughter!...Seriously!
Wowee...was looking forward to watching this and what a complete let down! Who, in the 21st Century, uses canned laughter in their situation comedies anymore?
What may have suited I Love Lucy and other T.V shows of that ilk back in the 50's 60's and 70's really does not work anymore. In fact canned laughter really is a major irritation and complete turn off!....Very much like this show it was turned off within 10 minutes of viewing!....Note to TV Producers.... "Stop with the Canned Laughter and let the viewers make their own minds up as to whether its funny or not....we are quite capable!
