So the first movie was ok, nothing spectacular but not bad by any means, one of those you won't go out your way to watch but if it's on you'd sit and watch it. So I was quite shocked that it was getting a sequel further shocked when so many people saying how good it is, so I took my four year old and my god this is Disney Pixar levels of good. How is Puss in Boots 2 honestly one of all the time great animated films? Well I'll try to explain first the animation style is beautiful and perfect for this movie and because it's a different style from the Shrek universe movies it stands out. Then there's the characters all the main cast are wonderfully voiced (especially the Wolf) and their stories are all told so well and developed. Big Jack Horner is one of the best movie villains for years no tragic backstory, no sympathetic qualities just evil for evils sake and loves being evil. I must also mention the Wolf, this character may give younger kids nightmares but as they get older they'll appreciate how awesome he is. The music is beautiful too. I could go forever, I love this movie it is a masterpiece and a travesty it never won best animated movie at the Oscar's but still i feel it's good enough love that it won't matter. The last thing I can see is a great movie makes you feel lots of different emotions and this does that ,you can laughing one minute to going aww, to crying to craping yourself in terror. This film is a masterpiece.

Nobody
(I) (2021)
Wonderful stupid action goodness
17 April 2023
This film is brilliant. Is it going to win any awards? No. Does it have a deep message? No. Was I throughly entertained for its 90 minute runtime? Absolutely. Yes the plot is ludicrous and full of holes. Is there that silly movie logic of bad guys can't hit a barn door from a foot away while the good guys can him a coin from a mile away, but it doesn't matter. The action scenes are excellent and the acting is just the right mix of serious and Cheesey. Films like this can often mean re as they can go too silly or take themselves too seriously Nobody gets that balance perfectly and the film is amazing because of it. I personally watch movies to be entertained and I had a blast watching this film and had a huge smile at the end. As long as you don't take films or yourself too seriously a great time is to be had.
A good Movie, somewhere in the middle of Marvel Movies
21 February 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I really did enjoy this film, mainly due to some very good acting and a fun story and a pretty good villain. In terms of the MCU this will probably rank somewhere in the middle which shows just how good the MCU can be. Paul Rudd is perfect as Antman as usual but I personally really enjoyed Michael Douglas performance. Will it win any awards? Probably not, did it keep me entertained? Absolutely and at the end of the day I'm a firm believer movies are about having fun and enjoying yourself and this quite simply is a lot of fun. As mentioned before one big strength is the films villain one area the MCU struggles is it's bad guys and I'm pleased to say Kang is one of the better ones with an interesting motive the fact Antman himself questions if defeating Kang was the right things is an unique wrinkle.
Piranha 3DD
(2012)
Not so bad it's good just bad
27 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
So let me start by saying I'm not a film snob I often love films that are critically panned and look at movies as way to be entertained first not make me think. (If they entertain me and do make me think too then great). This film however is just awful I loved the first movie is was the right amount of gory and silly this one however just didn't click with me. The gore feels excessive, the story isn't as fun and perhaps the main reason I hate this movie so much is the very end and I don't mean the last act I meant the last minute. Seeing a child's headless corpse twitch so the Hoff can make a crap joke just isn't funny or smart. Perhaps this is a personal thing as I feel depicting rape and child violence are two things that films shouldn't do but that end Jesus it just wasn't funny. In short if you enjoyed the first one and haven't This one yet save yourself the effort and just rewatch the first movie again.
Senior Year
(2022)
Fun but flawed.
16 May 2022
This is a strange one to review as it's a comedy and I definitely laughed quite a lot but there are some negatives I can't get over firstly the main character just isn't overly likeable. Secondly Rebel Wilson still tries to do the physical comedy stuff she did when she was bigger and it's just not as funny now she's lost so much weight, that being said she still has the talent and charisma to be a real positive to the movie overall. As someone who was 16 in 2004 there's a lot of fun nostalgia in this film as well for people around my age.
Superworm
(2021 TV Movie)
My 3 year old loved it.
15 May 2022
Took my step son to see Superworm and Zog at a cinema mini morning and he absolutely loved it, to the point were it's started a real love of the Julia Donaldson books. The animation is gorgeous, a stellar voice cast, yes this is aimed at young children but as said my 3 year old loved this mini film and at around 30 minutes it's just the right length for little ones.
Sonic the Hedgehog 2
(2022)
Excellent sequel for young fans and old.
2 April 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I love Sonic as franchise I've been playing the games and watching the shows since I was 4 back In 92, I took my 3 year old step son and I loved this movie and so did he. The action and comedy appealed to him, for me seeing these characters I grew up with on the big screen and have tattooed on me, is itself awesome. There are lots of Easter eggs for older fans like me. The only reason I haven't given it 10 is a slightly long run time caused by (mild spoiler) the sister in laws wedding sub plot definitely not something younger watches will get much out of but that's a nitpick to otherwise not just a very good video game movie but a very good movie in general.
The Great Gatsby
(2013)
Almost perfect
26 July 2021
So my partner got me to sit down and watch this and I wasn't fussed but by the end I was hooked and really enjoyed it. While I know of the novel I've never read it and didn't know much of the plot which probably helped my enjoyment. The acting is stellar Dicaprio is fantastic as always but I must mention an excellent Toby Maguire. The costumes and settings are all very good too. The only reason I dinged a point was for the use of modern music as though it was being played in the films locations given the 1920's settings playing modern RnB really did take me out of the film which was a crying shame. Other then that this film is amazing and definitely worth a watch.
The Platform
(2019)
A great idea.
27 April 2021
The premise of the film is really good. The acting is fantastic. It's nearly a perfect film, it's just a shame the ending is pretty poor compared to the rest of the film though not enough to ruin the whole film like Vivarium did.
Borat Subsequent Moviefilm
(2020)
Excellent
24 October 2020
I loved the first one and this doesn't disappoint. I'm very much right wing so I don't get the republicans getting upset learn to laugh at yourself. If you're easily offended and have no sense of humour no you won't like it. If you're blessed with a sense of humour, can laugh at yourself you will love it. Baron Cohen deserves credit for how brave he is he genuinely puts his life on the line. Plus his on screen daughter is a delight.
One word Fun
11 October 2020
Let me start by saying if you you're the sort of person who takes yourself too seriously and has no sense of humour and thinks films should have a point rather than entertain, no you probably won't enjoy this but for those of us with a sense of a fun this movie is amazing. Saw it for the first time last night and wasn't disappointed. I will say there isn't much of a plot but it doesn't matter I can't think of a song I didn't like, the acting while over the top fits the film perfectly and everyone gives their all especially Tim Curry who is magnetic. The sets and costumes and very good too.t and wife just smiled throughout. As said I'd you're a killjoy who takes life too seriously no you won't like it everyone else will have an amazing time with this random, fun classic.
The Babysitter: Killer Queen
(2020)
Gory, silly and fun.
27 September 2020
I loved the first movie and was so exited when I heard that a sequel and it doesn't disappoint. Does everything a B horror movie should it's deaths are gory and over the top. There's some comedy in there (some bad on purpose which just adds to the charm) and the story is easy enough to follow. If I have one complaint one characters reasoning from going from bad to good seems non existent and it just happens and the timeline confused me slightly but those are nitpicks to a fun, violent horror movie.
The American Barbecue Showdown
(2020– )
Great show except Melissa Cookston.
27 September 2020
Warning: Spoilers
This is a really enjoyable show with some interesting challenges and entertaining, talented contestants. I think the wing person won the whole thing but that's only my opinion. Judge Melissa Cookston is unbearable though feels biased towards females, talks over the over judge and is so big headed and snooty considering she herself is a competitor. I really enjoyed the show but would be happy to see some minor tweaks or there's a second season.
Modern Family
(2009–2020)
An all time great.
13 September 2020
To me Modern family is one of the all time great TV shows. It maintains a high standard through all 11 of its series, has some truly wonderful Characters such as Phil, Cam, Jay and Joe And no real dis likeable other than maybe Gloria who is vain, bad tempered, selfish, a control freak and is obsessive to the point of creepy with her sons but the show is so well written even she gets her funny moments. While there are the occasional guest it's nice there isn't an over reliance so it makes them even more entertaining. Stephen Merchant was a particular favourite of mine. It really is great watching the kids grow up screen and seeing how they change as they get older just as you would in real life. Overall this show is excellent I can't remember a bad episode maybe just some that were average and that only a handful and With Over 200 episodes that is some feat.
The Happening
(2008)
Not as bad as they say.
5 September 2020
Finally got round to watching this more out of morbid fascination since it's in so many worst movie of all time polls. And after watching it, it's ok it's an average B horror film. The premise is good and there's some good death scenes but some of the acting is truly dreadful even for a B movie. Zoey Deschanel in particular is horrendous but we know she's better than this shows. Overall it's ok worth a watch but once is enough.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
(1998 Video Game)
The greatest ever.
18 August 2020
I played this as game as 10 year old in 1998 and loved it. 22 years later I still love it. I make sure to find a way to play through it at least once a year. While graphically of course the N64 original doesn't look as good as modern games at the time they were Amazing. The epic music, the simple to pick up but hard to master combat. The amazing dungeons. The boss battles, the story, the script my god everything is just perfect. The difficult curve is just right except the water temple still a really hard dungeon but I do feel so satisfied when finishing it. The mini games are all great fun. There's even a section requiring some stealth. The one tiny nitpick would be Navi your fairy guide can be slightly annoying and repetitive at times but I get why the game is designed that way so I can't forgive the choice so bar that one very minor issue this game is perfect and still holds up to this day. You're not a video game fan till you have played through this masterpiece.
Kingdom Hearts III
(2019 Video Game)
Good but after 13 years expected more.
18 August 2020
It had been around 13 years since a new home console kingdom hearts game and I was exited. I brought the collections to replay older games and catch up what I'd missed as I was so exited but after playing the game I honestly feel a bit disappointed. To start with the positives the game looks beautiful, the combat is easy enough to pick up at first and doesn't feel overwhelming while still offering a lot. The new worlds are all good additions if not slightly repetitive in places. Additions look recipes and the gummy phone all add to the experience. The negatives are the story is just so complicated and I've played through the games and watched countless YouTube videos but still get lost. The game does feel a bit short and does feel light on the worlds front announcing all the new ones before the release was silly in my opinion I was hoping for at least one surprise. The final battle doesn't feel quite as epic as 1 and 2 either which also added to the flat feeling I felt.I will be fair the time between games led to a level of hype I don't think it could ever live up to. It's really a good game just not as good as 1 and 2 which to me are both 10/10 games.
Muppets Now
(2020)
Quite good but not great.
2 August 2020
Episode 1 was quite good, got some laughs and made me want to see the next episode. That being said I have to agree about the new voices Kermit in particular just sounds wrong and it's really off putting. I thought Miss Piggy and Deadly were very fun together.
The Banana Splits Movie
(2019)
Peak of so bad it's good Horror B movies
18 July 2020
Horror B movies aren't meant to be well written or acted well if you expect more from a movie like this you're missing point. The idea of a B horror film is to spend 90% of the budget on effects to make it gorey. This film is great fun being based on real life kids show people of a certain will remember helps. But the likeable characters are likeable you hate the people you're meant to that's all the actors need to do. The splits themselves are definitely creepy when lend to being killers. And the kills are violent and gorey to the point where you laugh at how absurd they are as you should in a B horror game on. This film to me gets everything this type of film should do spot on. If you're wanting Psycho or Halloween levels of Horror brilliance this isn't for you but to be entertained for 90 minutes definitely give this a watch.
Killer Sofa
(2019)
A fun and silly B Horror Film
18 July 2020
My wife and I watched this film after seeing the trailer on the Xbox store and it looked so mad we had to watch. We love bad horror films and the premise a loan is mad. Yes the script is awful, the acting rotten the effects average but honestly a chair that moves around and kills people is mad you can't help but laugh out loud at certain moments. I have two complain one is that they didn't go silly enough the chair should of carried a gun or a weapon. The second is the body count isn't that high and one thing I normally like about these movies is they spend 90% of the budget on gore filled effects but this wasn't as violent as I was hoping.
Nine Dead
(2009)
78 of Minutes 80 are great
14 July 2020
This is a really good film. Well acted, good plot. Even a good twist but just the very end 2 minutes let's it down as you have no idea what happened. It's like they gave up. If even a little care had been given to that last two minutes it would be 10/10 that being said this isn't like Vivarium where the bad end killed the whole film. The rest of it is worth a watch.
The Cabin in the Woods
(2011)
Maybe I don't get it but this is not good.
15 June 2020
I went in with high expectations but was so disappointed especially at the awful ending. Quite possibly the worst end to a film I've seen. I feel part of the problem is the film can't make its mind up if it's tongue in cheek or serious. I won't go into spoilers but just found the whole film frustrating.
13 Reasons why the horror movie

Jack and Jill
(I) (2011)
One of the worst film ever made
20 May 2020
Let me say I'm not a film snob I'm very easy to please and I love a lot of films considered bad but Jesus this was awful. The face people are giving this 10 worries me. The Gill character is one of the most easy to hate movie characters ever. All Sandler does is screech as Gill. Poor Al Pacino whatever they paid him wasn't enough. I'm sure Sandler took great pleasure in dragging Pacino down. I will say Adam Sandler is a genius he gets a studio to invest in bad movies so he and his friends can go film in beautiful locations and of course always gives himself a beautiful wife. Not even so bad it's good.
Vivarium
(2019)
Good film spoiled by a rubbish end.
11 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
So if I'm going buy the first 1 hour or so this film
is really good. Solid acting by all especially the creep kid really builds your interest. If I was marking just up
To that I'd give 8/10 but what was the end? Nothing was explained, the two leads die but why they were there and just what Martin is and why he does what he does is explained. Where did dead Martin get sent to? What is he? Why does he drive people to death? How did he get of the estate so easily? What was the weird dimension Gemma chased him into? I don't mind an unhappy ending or and open ended ending but sorry we're given no reason as to why we just invested our time. I feel like the end was try to be smart but it failed super hard. The worst ending To a film since Cabin in the woods.
