The Durrells (2016–2019)
8/10
I liked it but has some weirdness
26 June 2023
Overall is good but some weird things go on. Timeline isn't really described with the episodes, the way the mother treats the housekeeper, the way the mother involves herself in everyone's business in the open for others to hear, you would think the family would loose their indignation of 'foreigners' in their own country over the years. Overall it's a good watch nothing deep. I like that most of the family learn some Greek but little respect to Greek culture. Beautiful scenery right on the ocean. Didn't like the one relationship between 2 characters at the end. Should have remained friends. Ok.

Was decent enough - BUT
5 April 2023
Warning: Spoilers
But seriously- are we to believe the ending? I have a really hard time that the Islamic fanatics would dismantle a machine gun on the truck to bring a child to the hospital. I also find it hard to believe the time line with the approvals needed. Alas I find it hard to believe that the 'ones with the joy sticks' having those emotions at the point of sending the missiles. It became way too sensational when it was just a basic military movie. It's not tugging on anyone's heartstrings or changing people's minds. Too bad because it could have been a better movie than what it was. Blah blah blah blah.

The Handmaid's Tale (2017–2025)
5/10
Updated Review- this needs to end
29 September 2022
Season 5 is a JOKE. The over acting , lack of direction and poor script writing makes it mind numbing.

I truly hope not to see Elizabeth Moss's face for a long long long time. With her ' over reaching of emotions ' - other characters scared of her and say so but in the same conversation the other characters iver act and she becomes less like she is confused.

Characters don't die soon enough when they should. Or that a breeding woman is allowed to leave Gilead when someone else was made to be a hand maid. Come on just stick to your own reason for being.

I don't care anymore how it ends. Just want my time back.

Stonewall (2015)

It's not 100% historically accurate but a good movie
24 August 2022
I liked it and it's worth watching

It's not 100% accurate based on the title - but a story from 1 person's journey. Yes he is white , not sure why that seems to be a problem with the reviews here.

There are many personal stories to be told this is just one of them.

Not meant to be historically accurate- a different title would have been better for context.

LOVED THIS FILM- DEFINITELY WORTH THE WATCH
14 August 2022
Feel good movie Tear jerker But for me it's all about LOVE and what we as humans will do for it. As well as respect for the elders in our society.

Movie for all generations to watch.

Absolute Rubbish- No sense what's so ever
14 July 2022
Why this film was made is beyond me. The lack of a script to start with. There is no mention of anything to make light of the reason what this film is about. Everyone is sad mopey and dopey because of the horrid excuse of a script.

On episode 2- ugghh
29 June 2022
The acting is horrible or it's the direction given by the director. Not sure I can continue - nice story line but it's hard to watch her over acting/ drama queen.

Waste of time - don't watch it
22 June 2022
Why do these super hero movies get cornier and worse? The director , the script ?? I'm so glad I didn't pay for it- caught it on Disney. Total rubbish in my opinion.

What a waste of time
15 June 2022

NO IDEA WHAT'S THIS ABOUT
10 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
It's just dumb. Makes no sense n too much Jesus. I can honestly say I have no idea what this series is about after watching all 8 episodes. A hole in the ground that the dad came out of 80 years later, a grand daughter who wasn't missing she left with her Mum, that same grandchild is the main antagonist in the movie years later, son throws himself down the hole, other son leaves town with girl friend, buffalo coming out of holes, one in particular that has 2 arrows in it - 1 the older granddaughter pulls out n in another episode the grandfather pulls out the second one. I can keep going but there u go. It's lame and a waste of time that doesn't make any sense whatsoever- PASS ON THIS SERIES.

The Survivor (2021)

I expected more- best scene was the fight with his friend Jean
28 April 2022
I had high expectations for this but it was just ehhh. Felt contrived to be honest. It's worth the watch just don't expect much. However the scene as he fights his friend Jean. Interesting story just not played out that well.

Why was there the social media girl??
24 February 2022
I like listening to the actual survivor's stories. It's insightful and educational. Miss Mirren's narrating was ok but not needed. The worst part was the social media girl who added absolutely nothing to the movie.

Blah - Not Horrible but Not Great
22 October 2021
This version ( part 1 ) falls flat fast. Where is the heart and soul in the acting/characters? Lifeless to be honest. I love Dune and Herbert's version was spectacular in 1 movie. So I don't want anyone to not watch this but don't expect much. Let's hope part 2 is much better.

Missed Opportunity at what could have been great
29 September 2021
Just came across this movie on TUBI tv. Absolutely horrifying story of heinous child abuse. There is a lot here to unpack into a movie - I get that. Just wish it was centered around accurate timelines that made sense. I looked up the true story as I was watching the movie. So it wasn't making sense. Again it's a lot to u pack and I'm sure where it becomes hard to watch - that and the bad acting and bad script. Anyhow my penny. It's truly an unforgettable story that I hope someone decides to re create some day - maybe a limited series to get a better understanding of time lines.

COULD HAVE BEEN GOOD- BUT NO
16 September 2021
Bad editing, bad script, blah acting. Bottom line is this could have been good. But just doesn't make sense. My opinion is this: the series should have started with keeping a timeline until more was said known in a measured introduction. Then went in their way. There's too much bouncing around not connecting the dots ( basic but real )

Good series but 8 episodes was too long
7 September 2021
No spoilers Lots of characters to place blame From the sons to ppl unknown from episode to episode

Last episode was on the seat nail biting from a non industry person. I kept wanting to NOT see what was happening- no spoilers.

Lots of character building but too many and too slow but it is a mini series.

So we'll done. Glad I didn't have to rip the tv off the wall- anyone with emotions and that seem the series will know what I'm saying.

Has potential but lost it quickly
1 August 2021
I tried to wrap my head around the title amd as to why the CF patients had to stay 6 feet apart from each other. I looked up CF to try to understand because this didn't make sense. They don't want the patients getting an infection so why can They can be close to other ppl without masks but not other CF patients?? That was something I couldn't get past. Then the antics of the patients were beyond reasonable inside a hospital. I mean come on. Skip this movie.

Absolutely Horrible
19 June 2021
I almost made it through season 1 and had to stop. Horrible writing, over acting and way too much god references. No where knowing what happened to the passengers but at this point - who cares.

Dumb- Stupid-Wasted my time
5 March 2021
Absolute nonsense idea of a movie. Horrible acting from Cage as always. Only acting that made it worth watching was by Elliot Knight. Don't waste your time

Was a really good movie- Don't believe they nay sayers here
18 September 2020
Was well written, after and the beauty of colors and scenery was amazing. Did it follow the cartoon 100% ? No. Thankfully. People here will say she worked hard and became a great warrior but here it was by magic. That's a lie. As a child she was taught by her father and she had a very strong inner Chi- where she honed her talent from a young age. So no her strength never came from magic. But yet when the nay sayers talk about magic and not hard work they neglect to talk about the cartoon's magical creatures helping her on her journey. So again they are wrong. The cartoon and movie are not aligned with any mythological character's story line so why 'try' to use that against the movie but not that cartoon. The movie goes more in-depth about honor, chi, male-female roles, FEMALE empowerment love of family, love of country, good vs bad etc etc. it's a definite watch. Sit back with or without the kids and enjoy. Don't be a Debbie downer- sorry to all Debbies
