Ricky Gervais: Armageddon (2023)
Nothing new!
I love Ricky, his other stand ups, presenting, series etc. Have all been some of my favourite comedy to watch. This felt a little repetitive though. His view on 'anything goes' when telling jokes, is something I fully believe in, but to convince the audience of his beliefs on this, he really pushed things to the limit. Many parts were truly cringeworthy! In addition, I feel that he knows many are critical of him, and this whole stand up was in response to them and their issue with him. What happened to silly Ricky? I miss those jokes! Next time, keep it light, let us laugh at something intelligent and not just constant controversy.
Finding Michael (2023)
Great imagery, but that's about it
I feel sorry for Spencer and his family for their loss. However, the display of privilege and wealth was unnecessary. His children at the end in their Moncler jackets and their enormous palace on the edge of a beautiful lake was a finishing touch that felt tasteless.
The documentary shows Everest and its beauty. For that reason, I enjoyed watching this very much. Spencer failed to take the lead in the search for his brother, which felt odd, although understandable in a way. The emotional parts of the documentary didn't feel real enough, rather staged and a bit corny.
Overall, for a rainy Saturday afternoon, nothing too disappointing but definitely not a must watch.
Wonder (2017)
Lovely but not real enough for me
Finding out that this was not a true story/based on one was slightly disappointing. Also that the actor was wearing prosthetics was a shame. I'm sure it would've been possible to star a young actor who could really understand this story.
