Double Twisting Double Back (2018)
Really enjoyed this
The movie is a powerful story about mental health and is told in a very clever way. Tony Labrusca really shines in this film, he displays such raw emotion and truly is an amazing talent both for the gymnastics and the acting. I'm aware that Tony himself is a talented gymnast so this movie really must have allowed him to fully embody himself within the role and that came across so well, his passion and raw talent . I'm glad I've recently discovered his movies - because he really does shine on screen and helps bring the characters and movies to life. I wish the UK had access to more of his movies , but for now I'd intrigued to see more of him for sure. An amazing talent .
Thanksgiving (2023)
Really really bad
I was shocked this had a lot of recommendations and good reviews . It was almost like a spoof, like the 'scary movie' films - i couldn't take it seriously , the bad acting, the terrible effects , it looks like a student film. Like didn't this guy make the hostel movies ? What happened . Where was the budget for the effects, the CGI / makeup or whatever it was, Was so bad it looked like a cheaply made 3D movie without the 3D. It could've been great, but just didn't land . I paid for a digital version but wish I rented it when it was on sale because honestly- what a waste of money. The movie could've been great but it was just met with silly dialogue , misplaced scenes , a stupid reveal and motive. Wish it had a more serious tone to it like the OG scream and ISKWYDLS movies. As it just seems like a comedic spoof of both .
The Sex Lives of College Girls (2021)
Season 2 a different show ' remove sex from title' !
Season 2 is a PG snoozefest. The sexiest thing about the season is the title of the show, I'm not sure what happened , feel like we were duped into liking the show by the sexiness and raunch of season 1...Just to be put to sleep by season 2. Literally 6 episodes in and feels like nothing is happening . The strip show episode literally was the biggest chance to bring some raunch back into the show but it feels like this season was produced by Disney or Nickelodeon . That episode was super disappointing. Sophomore slump I fear. Title should've been changed for this season to - 'the boring lives of college girls'
The Nan Movie (2022)
It was okay
I was really excited going into it - because Nan is my absolute favourite sketch show character. But her grumpiness and temper was missing , the main things that made her hilarious - it was a watered down version of her , but too diluted if you ask me. Wish we saw more of her outrageous arm chair slapping moments where she loses her temper , still very well acted and some elements were there, but some of the Nan charm was missing , sadly .
Sweet Magnolias (2020)
S1 awesome - S2 Snoozefest !
Literally could not finish watching second season , I tried and tried but every episode was so boring - went nowhere ! So disappointing after a good first season. Now it's just blah, sadly.
Outer Banks (2020)
Amazing !!! Season 2 even better !
This series is really outstanding, the plot the themes the drama . I love it . If you need something to binge - let this be it ! The suspense and climax of every episode will keep you hooked. Truly a joy to watch with great scenery and a beautiful bright Color palette. Really intense and exciting adventure series that just truly captivates you all the way through. I can't fault it at all. Bring on season 3 !
Mortal Kombat (2021)
LOVED THIS ! SO TRUE TO THE GAME
This is by far the best adaption of the video game, it shines as a modern adaption with the gloss, the scenery and the effects it really is an nostalgic thrill ride for MK fans. Everything you expect to see and hear you do.
I've watched twice so far (back to back days) just to soak up all that nostalgia.
My only pet peeve, is some characters take a while to develop their powers and it would've been great to see more powers/matches from the chosen ones.
So this movie just HAS to have a sequel since the powers were developed so close to the end of the movie . I'm also very surprised there was no Kitana, but just another reason why we need a sequel!!
Big thank you to the creators of this for getting it so right !
I Care a Lot (2020)
This movie was EVERYTHING
I was literally so excited to see what happens next after every scene. The negative reviews are clearly by people who expect WAY too much. I always say, movies garner attention and win awards for reasons and there are always contrarians who wish to go against the grain. Don't listen. The movie is fantastic , I even wonder if some watched until the end- as the reviews make it seem they didn't . There are frustrating parts but it's part of the experience with every movie - it's what engages you into seeing how things change or turn around, are they gonna work out or not ! I loved this movie and loved the direction it took from start to finish.
The Craft: Legacy (2020)
Started Good - Downhill from there...
So if I was to rate the first and second half differently , first half would be a 6-6.5 / 10... second half a 4/10.
So charmed is one of my favourite tv shows of all time
So I hate to make this comparison. But the first half was like Season 1 Charmed, gritty and dark... and the second half was like Season 5 charmed where it got all fairytale and leprechauns. I think in comparison to the original Craft movie it lacks the darkness and the horror movie feel. There was nothing creepy about this except for one fairly creepy scene .
It definitely started out strong but by the 3/4 turned into a weird extended episode of some teenage witch power ranger type show and I lost hope. Some of the effects were all too 'sparkly' and 'Sabrina the teenage witch' for me. As a stand alone witch movie , it's cute - but as an extension of 'The Craft' movie it just feels like it's diluted littler teenage sister.
The Witches (2020)
Meh.... I want a refund.
Quite disappointing to be honest. The main storyline was over so quickly - I thought there was going to be an amazing new extended ending but nope - that was actually the climax of the movie - a terrible climax at that. To be longer than the original but not have any decent material to justify the longer runtime was crazy. I just didn't understand the pacing of this film and how a team of film makers with an A-list cast thought this was an acceptable remake or even a good standalone film . Anne Hathaway was creepy-ish I guess, but would've been better without the stupid extending arms. Overall her transformation was underwhelming. The lack of other witches speaking, acting and the exclusion of the good witch/ assistant witch that rights the wrongs in the end was a massive hole that needed feeling . To sum up the whole movie - it was very underwhelming.
21 Bridges (2019)
Over too quick
I mean I enjoyed it, I just wished the end wasn't the end . It was over too quick, a lot of build up - for a rather underwhelming ending
Annabelle Comes Home (2019)
Scared the HELL out of me
I don't know what some of you were watching. I spent all day watching horror movies on Halloween and this was by far the scariest - yeah the storyline is a bit watered down compared to those of the conjuring franchise, but the movie serves its purpose - whilst some of the entities were a bit 'goosebumps' the visuals and buildups were suspenseful and frightening and I had to turn the lights on before the end of the movie !
Home Before Dark (2020)
Every Ep Amazing !!!!
This show had me hooked from start to finish. I was nervous that it was going to be really watered down and 'young' but the show is brilliant. Kept my attention the whole time! Need another season!!!
13 Reasons Why (2017)
Overall a good show, but S4 mehh..
I really enjoyed the first 3 seasons.
However they ruined Clay's character in season 4.
There were way too many visions and hallucinations that ruined this season for me, that plus a crazy, irrational, angry and unlikeable Clay killed Season 4.
It's sad because he was the heartbeat of the show and you've probably ended the series now with a lot of people disliking his character which is a shame.
The death at the end really shattered me, they made Justin extra likeable and then killed him off.
Charmed (2018)
Loyal Fans Are In Denial
The show is not bad at all , I actually really enjoy it and I am a SUPERFAN of the original. People just need to give it a chance and accept it for its differences . The themes are great and very reminiscent of the themes from the original charmed . A lot has happened and been revealed in the first series so it will be interesting to see how the show evolves if picked up for further seasons . I'm glad I gave the show a chance and didn't listen to the reviews !
