The Gentlemen (2024)
10/10
And this is why we love Guy Ritchie
17 March 2024
When Guy stays in his comfort zone he performs extremely well. For the first time a tv series is almost better than the original movie. Yes, the movie was great, no argument there, but a series, if well done, allows you to further explore the plot, situation and related characters. The script is briliant, the actors, although mostly unknown, they do a terrific job, the production tip top, and we do even have pikeys, i am missing the russians, we hope to find them in the plot within the next episodes. If you like Ritchie s movies such as Lock, Snatch, Rocknrolla or the original The Gentlemen this is you tv series, enjoy...

BlackBerry (2023)
8/10
As a Blackberry enthusiast and former crackberry i love this flick
28 February 2024
...however having read the great book Losing the Signal by Jacquie McNish and Sean Silcoff, if you truly want to know the real story, the movie is not the proper source, it is just a personal version of the movie script, too far away from facts. But, as i mentioned, i miss my Blackberry and the movie is a simple recount of some of the stories behind the rise and fall of such an innovative company.

Some of the characters are way off the real ones. The actors do a great job in a clear low budget movie. It is a shame as well that due to the budget constraint the movie is way too short to include a bit more in depth of the story itself and the real protagonists of the story. In all, an enjoyable movie that tells a sad story that left us, the true Crackberries orphans and subject to the tyranny of the new players.

Something is just not right
11 December 2023
I love CG character. Avid reader of his biographies and when i learned about this TV series could not be more excited. Well, this is a bit of an awkward review of Cary Grant's life, something juts does not flow well. Maybe is its constant back and forward in time? Maybe is just the script? Maybe some of the actors? Or maybe just a bit of everything? It is a shame, but this is not a "keeper" series, and most probably will go through the end of the episodes with just the same enthusiasm as i go through the first few ones. I just do not like the rhythm and the way it explains his complex personality. Just give yourself the option to watch it.

Condor (2018–2020)
9/10
I am glad i gave this series a chance
1 December 2023
Was not sure and doubted at first but gave this tv show a chance, oh boy i am glad i did. A great adaptation, solid acting, script, plot and rythm, William Hurt is a superb addition to the cast. While some adaptations from movies to tv shows fail short, i can think of others like Guy Ritchies adaptation to the small screen, i think Condor surpasses with honor the Robert Redford and Faye Dunaway movie. I am still on the first season and hope the rest of series one stays to its initial quality delivery, Do not be afraid to give this show a chance, i found it by roaming around imdb and i am glad i did not hesitate to download the show.

The Northman (2022)
4/10
Excalibur+Conan+King Arthur mixed with extra violence
29 May 2022
Another overrated movie, with an unnecessary overload of violence, a bland story and weak performances. I do not understand the great reviews. Only item that deserves credit is the photography, that is superb in some portion of the flick.

Kika (1993)
3/10
Almodovar at his worst
31 December 2021
In Spain if you dislike Almodocar cinema they look at you as if you were from another planet. Pedro has some good stuff and some very bad flicks, and this is one of them, one of the worst. Such a great talent wasted in a very badly scripted, acted and produced. Almodovar garbage.

A Movie about Nothing
4 August 2021
Do you remember those Seinfeld episodes when they go to the movies, with weird names? Like death blow? Well, thia movie is the same. Absurd story, impossible to understand, long and boring. I might be not sophisticated and clever enough to get the point of this flick. Positive side of the movie? Some of the actors and photography. Watch the trailer and save yourself a two hour suffering.

It's a Sin (2021)
10/10
When a good script and good acting meet
8 February 2021
Wow, not expecting this at all, no doubt a well written and better acted tv series. No need for well known actors and expensive budgets, just a simple god damm written story and a bunch of superb talented actors is good enought to make a superb production. I was moved in every episode by the story and the emotioms and feelings acted, kudos, well done, a solid ten out of ten.

Bland, weak not worth all the fuzz
24 January 2021
I wanted to like this tv series, i even watched up to episode five in Hebrew with subtitles, i tried but this tv show is so badly scripted, performed and shot that above all is a wasted opportunity. If you think this is the jewish Brand of Brothers forget about it, what a shame.

30 Coins (2020–2023)
5/10
Bland to say the least.
25 December 2020
This tv shows has two positives, Alex de la Iglesia ( a genius) and Eduard Fernandez (top actor). Apart from this, the series is weak, boring, badly acted, almost looks like a soap opera or telenovela. When you try to squeeze much the script over many episodes this is what happens...and underperformance by Alex, whom I admire in his other jobs. Tried my best to get to episode 3 but half way through episode 2 had to put an end to thr agony of watching such a poor show, a shame, Alex can do much better.

Danny Boyle should be upset
22 October 2020
Ruskies did not even bother to hide a bit the cheap copy of 28 days later, even the music is a total cheap copy. Shame on you.

Capone (2020)
8/10
Only Tom Hardy could play this character
17 May 2020
This is not De Niro and his great performance in The Untouchables, the time and the life of Capone was not the same either. Last year of Capone's life while his brain was consumed by neurosyphilis. Do not expect the grandiose of the classic mafia movies. Just a path through madness and dementia to his grave. A perfect role for Hardy, will remind you of some of his appearances in Peaky, Taboo, Mad Max or Bronson. Not a mainstrem film but personally enjoyed it much.

Bravo!

One of the best adaptations ever filmed. Guy does a great job. Photography is superb!. If you are expecting a "vanilla" version look somewhere else.

A better version of TWD

I like it very much so far. Unsofisticated unlike TWD and with a better outcome. Well done!

Fresh, different, hilarious, mad....mad mad mad
14 October 2018
Finally a great comedy. A must see. Have been looking for a good comedy since Peep Show or the Inbetweeners, now I got it. Why is it so difficult to find these humour gems? No wonder so much TV trash out there. Watch it, worth the try.
