Reviews

It's only the past few years that I have started to watch Criminal Minds, and have enjoyed it, like the characters, my fav is Rossi, which is funny as i was gutted when the brilliant Mandy Patinkin left cause the show was too violent.

It's interesting that not one review mentioned this?

But folks TV shows live on "viewers" and when you saw the way cinema went with the crazy violent SAW and Hostel films, which made Millions. They had to follow, all the cast and crew want the show renewed, so they saw "Violence" sells.

It's why we were told at the end of season one of Lost "It's def not about time travel, and they are def not dead" well 5 seasons later they sort of were dead.

We the viewers can make or break a show, just look at Star Trek it was for the bin after the 1st season, than thousands upon thousands under guildance from Gene wrote letters, demanded the show be brought back and it was So don't so much blame the writers and TV company, they are only giving you what you want, showed by our love of the sickest films like SAW and Hostel.

That's the thing about good storytelling, you always need to present it so the audience forgets that you're making it all up. Every enemy starship, every Nazi guard, every orc from Mordor,

Mr Frank Nazi's were real, they are not "good storytellng" Are you F Sure, maybe ask the famillies of the millions that were gassed or shot or raped or tortured if the Nazis were "making it up" How can you compare the Nazi's to ORCS to Star Trek. Yes Trek has used them in episodes but they were Real and are Real pop over the Hamburg and see the old C@@@S How can you belittle all these lives lost at the hands of these Monsters by saying "good storytelling"

A lot of reviwes are from people who have been affected by Monsters like the grandfather. I don't walk in their shoes and can't take in the pain they have suffered all their lives, not just the abuse but that it is a loved family member who is the abuser So for me this make me angry, I could not understand why they visited that monster, be in the same room as it. It should have been thrown out with the trash not put into a care home, how much did that cost the family? Did the care home know what he had done?

The mother said as they were going thou the clothes "we need to laugh" because she knows she is guilty. She was abused why would she ever go anywhere near her parents again? I know it's easy to say "it's her parents" it's not that easy to walk away. But she left her daughter alone in the house The grandmother was as bad as IT in my opinion she knew what was going on, but done F ALL and then we have the religion BS, it's like the Mafia kill 10 people then pop to Church The old C@@T was not even sorry, in his sick F up mind. It's all good cause Jesus will forgive me As for forgetting I can't comment on that, but i suppose to be able to live your life can you forget? Some people can put bad things that happen to you away deep in your heart behind a padlock, but it still affects them A lot of people are saying Amanda was wrong to make this film, what I got from it, she is angry with her mother more then the Monster as her mother could have got him arrested and she done zero and made it worse, this doc was not just about the Monster IT but also to hurt the mother.

As for the other victims, you can't force someone to appear on TV and the one with the daughter who was preggers seemed fine being on the program We all want to look up to our parents and be proud of them and make them proud of us.

Sometimes you have to admit who they really are and let the world know.

Finally after all these years i have gotten round to DS9 and boy it's rather good up there with the best of Trek TOS for me. What makes it so good I care about the characters as I did in TOS This is a Superb Fun Episode, the people giving it grief "Lighten up Folks" take the ride, roll the dice I have been to Vegas a few times since the 80s but this is the Vegas I would have loved to visit the Rat Pack man that is Living The actors in DS9 are just so good. I was never that fussed about Wolf but now I actually care about him This is a episode most blokes can get with, the "Horrible Friend Zone" the actors are having fun with this episode roll the dice, kick your shoes off and Chill people.

That Actual people are surprised by this? Are you lot for real? How many programs and films over the years has there been about Sex Trafficking ?

Vegas was run by the mob, it's not a clean city, there is now a massive drug culture in Vegas, go off the strip see the porn shows, the druggies. 1st went to Vegas in the 80s the Real Vegas with Sands, Dunes that was Vegas baby.

Been there twice since, going again next year as part of Route 66. Last time 4 of us me and the gf and another couple had around 30 cards put into our hands, but what surprised me was how the Vans with ads on the side are allowed to drive around ?

Seems to me the big wheels of Vegas are quite happy for this to carry on, I wonder how much the pimps made over the F1 weekend.

A lot of the women are brought in from overseas the Ukraine, Russia, Asia, etc. It's not new been going on for many years, these girls are tricked into "making their money" or becoming a film star put on drugs.

This looks very scripted, never heard of this geezer before.

Even some Brilliant Physical comedy which he was known for in his early days, the Nerd, Man with Two Brains, Genius stuff Martin Short one of the best things he has ever done, and who knew the very talented Selena Gomez can act and act very well This has a lot of clever humour, and a very well written story, a bit like a comedy Columbo, why Peter Falk was so good was their was a comedy element involved to the stories, but the best thing about it you was involved you was totally hooked ! This policeman who people thought was a total idiot suddenly turns into a Genius every episode.

This has a similar vibe to that show. Gets your mind turning. It's brilliant fun, and boy do we need some fun in these days.

Also all the old songs, they must bring out a soundtrack album.

Lady Di, as I call her was the female 007 before there was one.

Every bloke wanted to be Bond and every woman wanted to be with him. With Lady Di every woman wanted to be her, the clothes, makeup, hair the wedding ring, and every bloke wanted to be with her This series is not meant to be real life, but the problem with that is, for us in the UK it's one of the Biggest ever Events in our history and this series is really not good news for the King as people start to forget, and as for the Queen well I will Never call her "My Queen" this series shows what a B@@ch she was and how the King cheated on Di before Di then went and cheated on her very unfaithful husband.

People say "we remember where we were when Elvis died" I don't but I do remember where I was when Di died. Coming home from the nightclub around 1am and lights were on and Mum & Dad were watching the TV we stayed up to 4am I think. I phoned the girl I had been with and she and her parents were also watching the News.

Lady Di was "worshipped" by us the people of the UK, this series is a Soap Opera and we need to remember that I mean a scene with her "Ghost" WTF I have just read Claudio Christian's book, she was also having am affair with Dodi she had known him for 20 years on and off but don't get a mention in this, you learn some interesting bits from her book.

The acting is superb in this of course, the actors act and behave like the real people, the sets are amazing it's a Brilliant show, but I say again " it's meant to be a Soap Opera"

I plan to do Route 66 next year in a Dodge Challenger, which after watching this film is a bit "concerning" The car did look good, but am a Mustang man, as have my baby 2016 CS, fancied something different for Route 66 Unusual to have a English guy in one of these films. And of course he is not 100% out of place in the Diner I mean just look at the clothes Are there "Dead Zones" on Route 66? Rather worrying if there are If I drive along with a UK flag, will the Nutters leave me alone? I won't spoil this rather daft film.

The British bloke is so badly cast, I mean he kept the London accent very well. Surprised it's not raining or he is not in a bowler hate and has a umbrella.

This is one of these films that is just so very bad, but you have to watch till the end as you don't have a cluedo what the ending is. So I suppose in that case it's what's the word "watchable"

I always say if only we could see behind people's eyes, what is going on. Yes was the Devil who was the Demon F Maggie Thatcher at least she died 4 months after the truth come out about him. She went to her death knowing she made that Monster a Sir. So why have the BBC made this? To cleanse their own dirt? Or maybe because they want to keep the licence fee and feel if we show ourselves now to be decent hardworking honest people then the public will be less against us keeping the licence?

This is a hard watch a very hard watch, and what's makes it worse how he used religion as a defence against his actions. And that must hurt people of faith a lot more then people who have no faith?

Why did him upstairs the Boss as Jimmy called him, let this monster survive?

You go and see a show, it's dark and you listen to every word. Most films If i watch at home can be on the PC doing other stuff. I f I go to a cinema mind can wander, but this you have to "Listen to Every Word" the Acting is off the scale, They are not big stars I would say Sean Flanery I have seem few times, one of these actors you see and think "where have I seem him before" and Jordan Belfi never seem him. I would not have paid to see this in the cinema. But as it was on a streaming service in the UK, I put it on. Started mucking about on the PC then I stopped and was glued to the screen.

Sean and Jordan should be up for the major awards they deserve it , not often I will give out 10/10 But this deserves it, a shining bright gem hidden in the waters of the usual sex, violence, of the usual films.

I'ts based on a True Story, as for the camerawork and the lighting again read the end titles, it was shot in Covid times, so pretty understandable it won't be up to usual standards as I would think you had a skeleton crew working on it As for the cast, excellent, Dominic Purcell is one of my favourite actors and even Mel Gibson was good in his small part. Yes the story is hard to believe, but folks it says "based on a true story" The acting from all the cast was decent, don't know why such bad reviews for this film. Sometimes the wrong thing is the right thing to do, as they say and maybe in this instance they were right.
