The Gilded Age: Series 1

Good series

(Edit) 16/08/2022

Being a New York fan found this series from HBO very interesting and been waiting for it to become available

to rent. Tells the story of New money versus Old money in the 1890's and implications/resentments it caused.

It's like a parred down Sex & the City in my opinion, not so much a serious historical drama.

I'm thoroughly enjoying it. 2nd series on it's way by all accounts.

A Christmas Carol Goes Wrong

Not for me

(Edit) 06/08/2022

Watched this movie for 15 minutes and turned it off. Canned humour and desperate acting was too much to bear

and did'nt consider 'entertainment'. Better luck next time.

To Olivia

Liked very much

(Edit) 26/07/2022

Good movie for the whole family as adults and Kids alike can relate to the writer.

Good cast and story unfolds quite naturally. Could watch again.

The Homesman

Really enjoyed this

(Edit) 30/03/2022

Good main leads, plods along a bit at first but a good story nonetheless and worthy of watching to the end.

What a harsh life and how lucky are we ?

The Blacklist: Series 3

Very Addictive

(Edit) 25/12/2021

Can't stop watching this, series after series. Completely hooked - and riveting !

Every episode is a new story but has an underlying dialogue on the actors lives and loves

which continues throughout.

Shetland: Series 1 and 2

Great series

(Edit) 02/11/2021

Really enjoying this series currently on tv and thought I would start back at Season 1 where they all look 15 years younger !

Lovely setting as you would imagine and very good stories expertly executed. If you like Vera you will like this.

Mare of Easttown

Great murder mystery !

(Edit) 12/10/2021

Never seen Kate Winslet like this and so refreshing as she fits the part perfectly. Complex murder mystery so don't trot off for a cup of tea

whilst running or you will miss the good bits. Need your wits about you too remembering lots of in depth family problems and the murder plot with suspects, which are many. Intricate, with lots of twist and turns which add suspense. Thoroughly enjoying this and can't wait for the second disc to arrive for the conclusion. Praying a Season 2 is in the pipeline !

The Virtuoso

Good

(Edit) 04/10/2021

Thought this would be a good movie from outset and it did'nt disappoint. Moved along nicely with the right amount of drama

and suspense. Hopkins took a back seat but very watchable nonetheless.

Fatman

Rubbish !

(Edit) 30/09/2021

Couldn't stand to watch the rest of this movie after 30 minutes ! Bad choice for me, will stick to drama's and thrillers as I usually do.

Don't waste your time ordering this one.

The Blacklist: Series 1

This is brilliant !

(Edit) 24/08/2021

Enjoying every minute of this series, riveting and edge of the seat stuff. Bit gruesome and violent with each episode telling a different story.

We have just started Season 1 and there are 8 seasons in all. Really look forward to the next disc dropping through the letterbox. Highly recommend for the not so squeamish ! Can't watch them quick enough to get them in the post and the wait is purgatory till the next one comes. Would give it 10 stars if I could.

Brighton

Not for me

(Edit) 18/08/2021

Agree with previous viewers. This was not my cup of tea at all. Swearing prolific with no holes barred and constant by all parties.

It's about 2 sets of married couples visiting Brighton on a day trip from London. Would'nt recommend. Not at all entertaining.

The Snowman

Good Thriller

(Edit) 06/08/2021

Disagree with other reviewers as really enjoyed this movie and right up my street. Need to concentrate on plot as lots of twist and turns and kept me on the edge of my seat. Each to their own I suppose.

Hunt for the Wilderpeople

Great family movie with older children (13 yrs plus)

(Edit) 03/06/2021

Rented it for my 8 yr old Grandson. But having watched it first decided against it due to some swearing

and graphic killing of wild animals.

But I enjoyed it very much and gave it 4 stars. Good story line and very funny in places set in wonderful countryside.

Good cast too.
