The Weekend Away (2022)
Weekend to forget
When it pretty much starts up with someone ordering - 'Champagne" - The most expensive on the menu, you pretty much know it is going to be POO POO. Then we enter a disco/nightclub, where the two approach a table of spiv's. Opening line is "do you want to see photos of my babies? - Enough said.
Screw (2022)
It's Screwed. (spoiler alert)
For a drama to work, it must have at least a hint of realism. It is not only unrealistic, but it is quite impossible that a prison officer on her first week at work could smuggle a gun into her workplace!!
The Courier (2019)
It doesn't get much worse than this.
When I see Gary Oldman's name in the credits, it's a must watch for me. Big mistake! What an embarrassment it must be for someone like him towork in garbage like this.
The Flemish Bandits (2018)
Dont waste your time
I gave it a full 5 minutes. They had been dragging this guy along the trail for all that time. He was wearing a pristine white shirt/blouse, whatever you want to call it. Well, I have to say he was SUPERMAN, because the clothing was not torn, and there was not one spot of blood on his white attire.
Frontier (2016)
Is it Barkskins?!!
When I heard about BARKSKINS, I had no idea! How could you with a title like that? Anyway, decided to give FRONTIER a go, and I am so glad. They are both very very good, and I would not know which one to score highest. They both get a 9.999999 out of ten!!
Bloodline (2015)
Needs a little realism!
I enjoyed this as a way to waste away the hours, but I would prefer a little realism!
These people are seemingly owners of a very large, very successful hotel/resort. YET! - They have no maintenance people to fix showers! Every day, every member of family has alcohol in hand, no matter what the time! Poor Kevin is THE ONLY person who works at his marina! There was one staff, who left cause he was not paid! How does Kevin do it? Bottom line is that this huge big dollar resort runs with the Mother the only one working!!!
Gangs of London (2020)
Really!
The first thing any film/TV series must do is have just some semblance of reality. This show has nothing. The main man is a little brat who would be better off in a Harry Potter. There have been more people killed in this show than there was in both world wars. Are there NO POLICE in London? Crimes are committed by the top people, in clear view of everyone! They set fire to an aircraft cargo container at the perimeter of Heathrow! They had 7 year olds pretending they had machine guns running amok while gangsters were packing elicit money! SORRY - even the worst gangsters would not allow this rubbish!!
Silicon Valley (2014)
Potential for so much better
I just LOVE most of the characters. There is so much good stuff going on, but every episode ends the same. Here we go. EPISODE #? - EVERYTHING IS GOING GREAT WITH PIED PIPER. - EPISODE#?, 'after 40 minutes, the company is worth ????? million, and nothing could be better. - Until - 43 minutes, by some strange twist, everything has fallen apart, and the company has gone to the dogs. - AGAIN! How long can this story go on? It is just far to predictable. There are only ever two different scenarios for every episode. - Either the company and everyone is multi, multi millionaires, or they have not got a pot to piddle in.
Widows (2018)
Is dreadful bad enough?
I was taken in by most of the cast. And then! My goodness! Come on. We know its a story. We know its all fantasy. BUT. There has to be some type of semblance of real life. I usually watch most bad movies through to the end. I absolutely could not finish this one.
Alcatraz (2018)
Give me a break - from this movie!
This is so shockingly bad! The acting is dreadful. The story is dreadful. This must have cost about 200 dollars to make. ALCATRAZ. I think there are possibly 10 prisoners total! 4 prison guards. The canteen is big enough for about 8 people. And do not get me started about when they called the military in!
Sometimes these movies are good for a laugh, but this was to bad for that. I couldn't make it to the end. good luck!
The Romanoffs (2018)
Russia in love!
I did not know what to expect. I am probably not normally into this kind of thing - BUT, I loved it! Just dont take it seriously!
Strangers (2018)
You have got to be joking.
I gave it about 25 minutes. Our main man is in H. Kong and his mobile battery is flat. He has to ask someone if it is possible to find a charger for it!! - COME ON - Please make stories at least a little bit possible.
Imposters (2017)
Why? Make it a comedy
I think this would have potential to be VERY GOOD, - IF - they had not deemed it necessary to make it a comedy. EVRA, RICHARD and JULES, are NOT funny. They are a pain in the ----- . Keep it as a drama. Then it is good/

Burden of Truth (2018)
Burden of rubbish
I am sure like most people I prefer just at least a hint of reality, in my fiction! - So where to begin? - To many pretty people is a start. 50000 $$. - The 1st person who turned it down was offered 100000. Then the people who did agree to settle, got told they wouldn't get paid because something else had turned up!!! - And as for the small town, big lawyer returning,same old BS! ENOUGH!!
Bancroft (2017)
Dont waste the electric bill on this
So utterly unbelievable. It would have been obvious to everyone that this police officer was very directly involved with not only victim, but just about everyone else. And when the retired detective dies, a day after being interviewed by a detective? Nothing!! Nothing suspicious there then!! The UK makes some great "Cop" shows. This is not one of them.
Knightfall (2017)
Downfall
I do not mind the fact that this is not historically correct. If it was a good yarn, then all's good. I do not like the fact that this really is garbage. Some/most of the acting!! is stage pantomime stuff. And the dialogue! Where are we supposed to be? Year 2017 Yorkshire?!!
Broadchurch (2013)
This was supposed to be good?
I had heard/read so much about this. Much anticipation! And then!! Lots of the stuff is SO obvious. Why would the postman have anything to do with it? There is cocaine and $$ found and NOTHING is done!! The father is interviewed about being within 500 mtrs, of murder area on the night of murder, and his answer is - "I Don't REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE MATE I WAS WITH". Come on. PLEASE. Just a little bit of - "oh its possible""
Six (2017)
Terrible reflection of what these men are supposed to be.
I only comment because of the inaccuracies in these story's. I only lasted 30 min or so. These elite troops do not scalp enemies they have just killed. They do not shoot unarmed prisoners, who have just surrendered and are obviously a potential source of information. I am neither military, nor expert. I just expect there to be some semblance of reality to a show which is billed as a "true account".
