The Girl in the Pool (2024)
Don't bother. Id rather be dead in the pool
So... Freddie Jnr looks like an old scrotem who still hasn't found a good acting school. Monica Portter left acting for a reason. Her hair extensions were almost it's own bad character. So the story. Wow wee what a total waste of time. Poor acting, lame script. Kevin Pollock whom I normally enjoy was just uninvolved in the story. 2demrional characters whom I just don't care about in the first 30 minutes and I still had another 60 minutes to go. And so I persued and boy oh boy
...do it deliver on boredom. I honestly don't know how I survived to the end. End of the day id rather drink pool water than this garbage.
Senior Year (2022)
Cute, funny, retro
Actually wasn't a cringe worthy as expected. A good nod to a age old era of rom coms which seems to have zero interest these days. Rebel is funny as always but the same same character is getting a little tired. She needs to follow Melissa McCarthy and so more serious roles to break the stereotype. Overall don't expect much and will gain alot. Some good soundtracks and cameos makes it worth a look.
Heartstopper (2022)
Wonderful
Just lovely and yes a little corny but we need more series like this. All the hater reviews can get stuffed. Todays youth are tomorrow's leaders. 🌈 😀 Well done Netflix.
Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story (2022)
Save yourself 3 hours of nothing
Don't bother. A story about nothing. No idea what it's a two part series. Netflix filler of total nothing. Sympathy for "victims" but the dock didn't shed any light on the or a true investigation. Not sure on the true meaning of the dock.
X (2022)
Wow oh wow..loved it
Best horror movie of the decade. Instant cult classic. Ti West direction is excellent (as always) of a wonderful refreshing simple script. Clever, fresh and slight homage to 70s horror with a very 22 take. Just loved it.
The Outfit (2022)
Clever Picture
I was intereged to see this and wasn't disappointed. Excellent story telling and simplistic set (theatre play like). Performances all are amazing. Predictable some what yes but worth it.
Don't Look Up (2021)
Madame Trump POTUSA
Wasnt expecting much with a huge cast, but enjoyable. Message was clear of American politics and a few laughs. Not Oscar worthy for a best picture nod.
Belfast (2021)
Absolutely the worst, again by Branagh.
Kenneth Branagh's movies are self indulgent at the worst of times. I have never liked his movies.
This take the cake as an over the top biopic. Overly directed as usual but just awfully bad in script, acting and a sound track of his favourite songs that are not even close the era it's set in. Self indulgent rubbish. It's even worst than murder on the orient express which I thought was impossible. Last time I ever watch a Branagh film...ever
One point for cinematography.
Being the Ricardos (2021)
Just give her the Oscar
Wonderful performance and script/directing. Amazing cast. Forget about how factual it is and enjoy the performance. Don't expect a comedy as it not intended to be one. It's a love story.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
Ghostbusting Goonies
This movie is in a nostalgia coma for the first hour and a half. Then the magic returns. But where's Slimer ??
Watch till after the credits for another little gem.
Spencer (2021)
Diana spends the weekend at the Overlook Hotel
How awful. Razzie award for Stewart.
Her portrayal was nothing more than a poor imitation with terrible dialogue.
Terrible script, awful score.
One star for Sally Hawkins who I love.
Christmas on the Farm (2021)
dosnt know it's audience
And the winner for copying every other movie story line goes to...
Unoriginal, terrible script and acting.
If anyone believed they were actually in NY needs their head read. Even the cartoon blow fly looked fake.
But I do like Stan for supporting Aussie productions.
Single All the Way (2021)
Zero...And disgusting stereotypes
I was looking forward to this. But was disgusted by the gay stereotypes. It's 2021 and this is the level of movies being made. I am totally offend why this is how America portrays gays in this Hallmark vomit bag film. I'm just utterly disgusted. I don't even want Netflix anymore.
Stillwater (2021)
So it's not a true story.
Sadly I was drawn into this thinking it was a true story. But loosely based on Amanda Knox story.
Still a good movie and wonderful performances. Matt Damon is very two demintial as always but Camille Cottin is super. But it drew me in and much enjoyed it. Not sure how Aussie audiences will take it..or Oscars.
Malignant (2021)
If the devil doesn't kill you the acting will
Not a bad script with alot to unpack..but God almighty the acting was terrible.
Maddie Hasson as the sister deserves the Rassie for supporting actor.
James Wan gets points for directing being an Aussie. Jacqueline McKenzie gets no points.
She's Funny That Way (2014)
It's not funny that way
A commedy of errors? Or an error of a picture with zero comedy. Geez what a great cast totally wasted on an absolute rubbish script. This movie needs to take a breather once and a while and not cram way to much in 93 minutes.
Old (2021)
An 1hour 48mins I'll never get back
Boring..boring.. boring. Even the beach was boring to look at...and I love the beach.
Streamline (2021)
Not bad..
There is a true grit of honesty in Aussie film and it's portral of people and language. This movie has it. A very confident film debut for Tyson Wade Johnston writing and directing. It's true blessing is the rising super star of Levi Miller. Amazing child actor who is growing into an talented actor (see Better Watch Out and American Exit for starters) and will be a superstar.
The Wrong House (2016)
Worst lead actress goes to..
My husband's cheating but I'll still do a gym class. Is this wife a total moron. God the acting was beyond bad and the script...blah.
My lemonade stand 😭
Swim (2021)
Look out ! A cartoon shark is coming to get you
I wish I could rate it 0. Bad acting, awful script, just the worst FX, bad everything. The terrible continuity started with 1st attack the man is standing waist deep in the water but suddenly when shark comes he's swimming in like 20 feet of water.. what the.
I always wondered what happened to that guy from Blossom..
Hogar (2020)
Brillante
Slow at the start but made up for it big time. David & Alex Pastor are the Coen brothers of now. Wonderful direction and cast. Loses 2 points as it's not big in strong female characters.
The Prince (2021)
Funny and funny.
Ease up people. It's just a satire of the English royal family who are a bunch of non elected privileged free loaders. The press has been doing this for decades. Very funny show and I'm not a fan of animation.
Great White (2021)
Great Bore
Waste of time making and watching. Beyond boring from start to finish.
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Watchable yet sooooo boring. Not a wonder.
I loved the first wonder woman movie. I loved the 70's series. But this was a bad bad terrible script. Just awful special effects. Beyond terrible casting (sorry Wiig).
I didn't get the 1984 reference at all.
Another popcorn cinema bums in seats garbage.
Did Nike fund this movie?
Greyhound (2020)
The Tom Hanks Show.
Talk about boring. The most egde of my seat moment was if the captain ever was going to eat his chef prepared eggs. Talk about to much Tom Hanks and CGI. Yuk.
