Echo (2023–2024)
10/10
So good!!
16 January 2024
Excellent Marvel series. Brilliant acting and character development. The connections to Maya's past and present are cohesive and beautifully done. The town makes for a interesting setting and seeing family dynamics play out while Maya is doing her thing makes for a fun juxtaposition.

The tone of the show is great and sits in well with other titles such as Hawkeye and Moon Knight.

Previous reviewers on here seem to have only watched the first episode as they've mentioned a lack of 'gritty' content. Episode 3 delivers this in spades. So there's no shortage of gritty action mixed in with the Marvel undertone that true fans seek.

Will definitely be watching again!

The Little Mermaid (I) (2023)
10/10
Really lovely!
18 September 2023
I grew up with the original, and I thought this was lovely. It was different enough not to be repetitive, but still held true to the 1989 version. The addition of the line ' You shouldn't have had to give up your voice to be heard.' was really poignant. I loved the 'new' setting, and really appreciated the vibe it bought to the movie and the soundtrack. If anything, it suited the movie much better than the original. The voice and live action actors did a terrific job and the animation was beautiful. I particularly loved the new take on the dynamic of the sisters, and their roles as caretakers. I can easily see my family happily watching both versions and appreciating them equally.

Return to Monkey Island (2022 Video Game)
10/10
Brilliant!
12 November 2022
Such a great entry into the franchise. The entire crew behind these games are amazing, and I'm so grateful we got another one. As always, the storyline is funny, silly and somehow touching all at once. I've played all of the games a few times over now, and it's always a blast. It's nice to play something that is fun and relaxing, but challenging too. You get such a sense of accomplishment when you figure some of the puzzles out. Thank goodness for the hint book in this entry. I was especially glad to see some of the original cast return. It's excellently acted and animated. Well done to the entire cast and crew. What a ride!

Grew up watching the original and the sequel absolutely does not disappoint! So glad they incorporated Harold Faltermeyer's epic score. It was fantastic fun and completely ticks the boxes for fans old and new.

No idea why this movie has such a low rating. It was a lot of fun. Maybe all the bad reviews are by basketball fans who root for another team?! As a kids movie it was great fun!

What a terrific sequel! All the essence of the first captured and built upon in the second. Great dialogue, lots of laughs and a fun entry to the franchise.

Hilarious from the very first scene. I'm just sad it took me so long to find it. But I'll definitely be watching it again. Fantastic NZ humour and excellent spoof moments!

Uncharted (2022)
10/10
Great fun!
2 March 2022
I'm a huge Uncharted fan and have played the games many times. I think this was a great movie adaptation. I know the movie wasn't a 'replica' of the games, but it was never meant to be. I still appreciated what they did with the concept and characters. I really hope the franchise lives on and that more movies will be made to start to fill out the Uncharted universe.

Incredible!

The entire cast is absolutely wonderful, and the dynamic between Lucy Lui and Jack Davenport is one of the most exquisite, delicious and heartfelt love story's I have ever seen.

Nowhere near as bad as the reviews here!
16 January 2022
Hardcore fans may slam the show for being too 'easy', but the show still needs to accessible to a general viewing audience. Yes, the questions are easy for diehard fans. However, it also welcomes newer Harry Potter fans. Instead of celebrating a new Harry Potter experience, why do people have to moan and complain that everything isn't perfect? Relax and enjoy it!

Galavant (2015–2016)
10/10
Still great in 2022!
9 January 2022
Rewatching Galavant, and taking the family along for the ride this time. It's still laugh-out-loud funny, clever and enjoyable! I still hope that Galavant can have a third season, or even just a round table with the actors. It's a great, happy show to binge.

10/10
Funny, heartfelt and inspiring.
27 December 2021
It's so refreshing to watch a show that has genuinely nice characters. The comedy, writing and acting is all superb. I watched Ted Lasso after hearing great things from friends, and they were right. The show is excellent.

A lot of fun, and some really well written jokes. Kudos to the writing team. There was a lot of top tier 'Naked Gun' level of running gags. The cast was great fun, too.

I love this POTC entry. In many ways, it has some of the best one-liners and action sequences of the entire series. I think it's just as well written and executed as the first. The character development is really well done, too.

What a fun sequel! Just as funny as the original and the costume design is beautiful. We watched the original and then the sequel in the one night and it absolutely lived up to expectations.
