We Have a Ghost (2023)
A bit of a mess
The problem with this film is that it doesn't know what it is one minute it's a comedy ghost story the next it's a murder mystery then it's a coming of age drama and it fails at all of them really they could've cut at least half hour off then they could've settled on one genre but apart from all that it's well acted and directed and it's got a 90s vibe to it which made it a bit more enjoyable but it's forgettable and not the sort of film I'd watch again basically it's your typical Netflix film that they've been churning out week in week out the the past few years now I just wish they'd spend a bit more money and time into one or two film every couple of months instead of these sort of forgettable blah films.
Wednesday (2022)
Let's get serious this is no 9 or 10 out of 10
But it's a solid 7 the actress who plays Wednesday (Jenna Ortega) is very good as is Christina Ricci and Gwendoline Christie where it falls flat is the casting of Catherine zeta Jones as Morticia who isn't terrible but not that good either and Luiz Guzman as Gomez, whoever thought that these two would be a good fit should be shot because between them they have zero chemistry and it's painful to watch, when I used to watch the old black and white Adams family and the later remakes with Angelica Houston and Raul Julia there was real sexual chemistry between the them and that's was what made it's so good but this lack that chemistry and even though they're only in a couple of episodes they felt awkward to watch but having said all that it's still a solid show and worth watching if you liked Sabrina on Netflix you'll like this it's very similar in that it takes away some of the humour and replaces it with horror.
Debunking Borat (2021)
Terrible
This could have been good but it not, it's a load of rehashed clips from the film and a lot of set ups, Borat was satire at its best but now it's just sad and not funny these people whether you agree with their politics or not invited him into their home in a time of emergency and Sasha Baron Cohen had basically made a load of money taking this piss out of them and setting them up to fail you can see that they just want to help him out in a time of need and he back stabs them it very hard to watch, I used to like his comedy now he just makes me cringe.
Old (2021)
Could've been so much better
Old is a good film on paper but it's ruined by a bad script and bad acting, I found myself just waiting for the characters to die not caring about them at all and at one point I burst into laughter (the pregnancy) but it's well shot and looks good but with a better script and better actors it could've been a really good film it's not original by any means the story is quite engaging and interesting I just wish they'd spent a bit more time on writing a better script and hired better actors.
Black Panther (2018)
Overhyped nonsense
I've just been to you see this film and wanted to walk out half way through it really started to get annoying the script is terrible the affects are sub par and except for Michael B Jordan, Andy Sirkis and Michonne from the walking dead the acting is pretty terrible the only reason I gave it 5 stars was that the kids really enjoyed it.
