The Little Things

Not up to par

(Edit) 26/05/2021

Was really looking forward to this but not Densel's usual offering, was expecting more. Good enough story line with suspense and tension, but lacking in some form. Shame, as I usually give his movies 5 stars but this one is only a 2 and a half really.

Summerland

Acquired taste

(Edit) 20/05/2021

Fair lead by Gemma but too whimsical for me, good story line but can't put my finger on it.

Gemma has starred in many movies and have always been well entertained hence the reason I ordered it.

You need to make up your own mind.

The Gentlemen

Should have read the reviews !

(Edit) 11/05/2021

Did'nt enjoy this movie, too much swearing and violence for me. Just not my idea of entertainment.

Should have read the reviews and then would have some idea what I was letting myself in for.

Camino Skies

Not for me

(Edit) 26/04/2021

Wasn't in the right mood to watch this at the time so returned it. Real life stories of a number of people completing a 'marathon'.

All had their own reasons for completing the walk which covered hundreds of miles on a pilgrimage and not always in the best of health themselves. Shear determination some completed the distance, I guess.

The Secret: Dare to Dream

Not riveting, but good.

(Edit) 21/04/2021

Quiet, romantic story line about a family losing their husband & father. Good acting from the leads, quite enjoyed this.

Trial by Fire

Slow to start but gets better

(Edit) 29/03/2021

Took sometime to get into this movie after the first 15 minutes but it gets better with time and compelling viewing. So stay with it.

Some violence but all part of the prison experience. Strong cast and good story line, worth watching.

Game Night

Silly rom com

(Edit) 23/03/2021

Couldn't get into this movie, silly and part humorous, but not for me. Maybe I'm too old (69) to watch this sort of film

and more suited to the young. No more I can say.

The Call of the Wild

Lovely family movie

(Edit) 15/03/2021

Captivating story about a dog, his travels and life's adventures who is the star of the show, not Harrison Ford ! Memorial family movie for a wet afternoon and watchable more than once. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Perry Mason: Series 1

Riveting viewing

(Edit) 20/02/2021

I have always been a fan of Perry Mason even as a child age 12. This is a somewhat different format as Perry is not a Lawyer but a Private Investigator but very enjoyable just the same.

Every episode leaves you wanting to watch the next and full of suspense, violent in places so not for the squeamish . Just sent off for the 2nd disc

as 4 episodes, sorry chapters on each disc. I would give it 10 stars if I could.

Can't wait !

Crossing Over

Very Enjoyable

(Edit) 15/02/2021

Fan of Harrison Ford and knew this would be good with Ashley Judd in tow as well. Very watchable with a good story line.

23 Walks

Yes and No

(Edit) 02/02/2021

Undecided about this movie. Not a strong cast nor story line come to that, but passed the time - quite ordinary I would say. Given 3 stars as it was'nt a film I did'nt like, but it drifted along and was waiting for some action. It did'nt come unfortunately. Not memorable and will be easy forgotten.

The Fugitive

This is a good movie

(Edit) 26/01/2021

Wondered how Harrison Ford would fare with this iconic 60's series which is currently running on Freeview. - in black & white.

Different slant on the original story line but nonetheless a good portrayal of Richard Kimble running from the law and finds the

perpetrator himself, finally clearing his name. Good, believable and lots of action.

The Assistant

Not my cup of tea

(Edit) 26/12/2020

Watched all this movie wondering when the action was about to start - it did'nt.

It is a portrayal of a young woman starting out in her place of work with minimal mundane and monotonous tasks and you wonder why she just does'nt walk out and get herself a better job. We've all had jobs we wish we hadn't accepted and suffer them until we finally achieve something better, as we need the income.

She is basically a dogsbody working with 2 creepy colleagues who belittle and take advantage of her, along with an invisible boss who F.s and blinds at her and takes sexual advantage of young females. Though you don't actually see this.

As I've said, not my sort of movie.

Love Sarah

Not worth 3 stars really

(Edit) 30/11/2020

Easy movie to watch but quite uneventful and a bit boring really, meaning you could easily fall asleep whilst watching this.

Shame as good cast but needed a bit of a spark/action somewhere along the line to keep interest up.

Better movies than this one to pass away 90 minutes !

Little Women

It was ok

(Edit) 09/11/2020

Thought this movie would be better to be honest. Good performance from 'Jo March' who carried the story forward.

Mediocre review for a mediocre movie.
