American Conspiracy: The Octopus Murders (2024)

Season 2???

[6/10 · 3 March 2024]

I was immediately hooked by this in ep. 1 I did however by end of ep. 4 feel cheated!

Did I get sucked into a conspiracy theory and feel let down by lack of conclusion. What was the Real Story that Michael referred to?

Is there any truth in all this large web of information?

I honestly thought from the way Zach introduced Christian in ep. 1 that he had met a grizzly end like Danny...

His was no suicide.. maintenance guy saw his body on the floor behind bathroom door... The EMT said the blood splatter was not consistent with a suicide - it certainly looked more like a struggle Then there is the eye witness letter and sketch

It all stinks to high heaven and his family deserves justice.

There is more to this and i hope we get to find out.

Every Picture Tells a Story (1984)

Gem of a movie

[8/10 · 18 January 2024]

This was a fantastic film about the life and works of William Scott... All the more poignant and real as it was made by his son..

I have been trying to locate a copy of this movie for years without success. Mainly because my big sister was an art student at Glasgow School of Art at the time it was filmed and was an extra in this too.

It would mean the would to me if anyone knew where I might be able to locate this as it was such a great film and i'm desperate to see it again now i'm older and more appreciative!

If you get the opportunity to see this then please do... it's a hidden treasure indeed. If you can help me find this on VHS or DVD i will be forever grateful.

Now and Then (2022– )

Worth a watch - make your own mind up

[9/10 · 4 July 2022]

I wasn't sure at first with it being bilingual but I quickly forgot about it as it drew me in.. its a drama I thought it rather clever and plenty twists and turns too which is why i binged the entire series in one sitting!

I'm not sure about anyone giving this a negative review if they haven't watched all of it.

Its not a highly intellectual piece of television, but what it is however, is a bit of escapism. Something a bit different and I would recommend this highly for that reason!

Take it for what it is folks and get over yourselves!!

What I want to know is... is there a second season?!?!

Dirty Dancing (2017 TV Movie)

Why, just why???

[1 January 2021]

This is just awful.... Like the saying says "If it ain't broke... don't fix it"

Not sure who thought this was a good idea but it is just awful! It's like a high school end if year production, which if it was then i might have given it some stars. Cast are just so wrong, Lisa Houseman looks younger than Baby by a country mile... They tried to put their own twist on the original but it is poor in comparison and at the end if the day, the 1987 was SO special, and unique and is still very much loved, that this was NEVER going to work. The Houseman's "marriage" issues, doesn't sit well either... its all just so very very wrong! Do yourself a favour and avoid, avoid, avoid.......!!!
