Confidential Informant (2023)

Horrible Movie

[2/10 · 1 July 2023]

There must be two different movies with the same title based on the glowing reviews that are here. It's a horrible movie and I couldn't even watch the whole thing. An hour in and Mel has about 5 lines and a few minutes of screen time. His delivery lacks any effort at all. The soundtrack is annoying - too loud most of the time and rather than adding to the movie it is distracting. The acting is wooden and lacks any emotion or believability. The script is so predictable. Don't waste your time on this one. There are far better movies out there. Sad tp see actors like Mel taking on roles like this.

Devil's Island (2021)

A good use of time

[7/10 · 12 June 2021]

People seem to be into extremes. Movies are a "must watch" or "don't waste your time". This was an okay movie. It won't win an academy award but it's great for killing a couple of hours on a rainy day.

Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021)

Great movie!

I really enjoyed this movie. It was entertaining and suspenseful. The ending was somewhat expected but getting there was worth it. Definitely worth watching.

Timecrafters: The Treasure of Pirate's Cove (2020)

Great for the family

[15 May 2021]

Okay, I'm not going to talk about the quality of the acting or the plot. I'm just commenting on family value and is it worth watching. It was a decent movie that the entire family can watch. It was entertaining and fun. Not the best movie ever but if you want to get the family together to watch, you won't be disappointed.
