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.

Ice Age: Collision Course

Great for kids & adults alike

(Edit) 25/09/2020

As with all Ice Age movies this one won't let you down. Usual cast of characters and a whole lot fun. Good family entertainment in my opinion.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

Very watchable

(Edit) 15/09/2020

As with all the other Star Wars movies this one doesn't disappoint. Full of action and a great family film.

Shoplifters

Desperate stakes

(Edit) 09/09/2020

Slow moving portrayal of a close Chinese family living on the edge by stealing most of their daily needs. Quite poignant and moving

as they are generous where it matters most. Enjoyed this movie if only to see how other nationalities live their lives with only the basic essentials.

The County

Love it or loathe it

(Edit) 02/09/2020

Wasn't sure about this movie but glad I stuck with it. Bit slow in parts but storyline and acting good. Determined lead which dominated

the story with a no guess ending. Quite watchable and passed the time.

Kursk: The Last Mission

Good watch

(Edit) 25/08/2020

Wasn't sure about this movie but got into it quite quickly. Good storyline and acting by all and certainly keeps your interest. But politically damming in my opinion.

Blue in the Face

Acquired taste

(Edit) 12/08/2020

Did watch the trailer and as set in Brooklyn ordered this disc. Whole movie revolves around a Tobacconist shop which has

been in the street forever and is about the residents past and present. Good acting from all parties and cameo with Madonna singing a telegram

tho' you wouldn't know it ! If you like lots of chatter and laughter - watch this.

Dallas Buyers Club

This a good movie

(Edit) 28/07/2020

Oscar winning performance from Matthew and although AIDS being a serious subject some humour to lighten the story. Found it held my interest for the full 2 hours. Would recommend.

Knives Out

Good mystery movie

(Edit) 16/06/2020

Found this a regular Miss Marple drama to be honest, good 'whodunit' which keeps you guessing to the last minute.

Strong, famous cast though thought not such a suitable part for Daniel Craig to play. Too many James Bond memories I think to

make him a credible sleuth. Good watching anyway and enjoyed it very much, highly recommended.

A Man Called Ove

Bit of a 'plodder' movie

(Edit) 11/06/2020

Good storyline and acting by main lead but, in my opinion, slooooow moving. Did'nt realise it had subtitles but not a problem. Halfway through this film found it did not didn't capture my interest enough to warrant watching the full movie. Agree with previous reviewers regarding storyline history.

Rory's Way

Liked this very much

(Edit) 03/06/2020

Good storyline with a good cast and easy watching on a Sunday night. Both my husband and I (both 60 + year olds) thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ordeal by Innocence

This is good

(Edit) 12/05/2020

Didn't realise this was in 3 parts but good watching anyway. Typical Agatha Christy whodunit which left it to the last minute to reveal who the murderer was. Good acting throughout by all players.

Injustice

Great series - must watch

(Edit) 28/04/2020

If you like murder mysteries then watch this series. Quite fast paced and gripping in some scenes. James Purefoy is excellent as the Barrister with morals and a law upon himself. Hoping there is another follow on series as absolutely loved this one !

The Five

If you like thrillers - watch this

(Edit) 16/04/2020

From the author Harlan Coben and just knew this would be good. As usual he keeps you guessing to the very last minute before revealing the full story. Full on action/adventure/murder/mystery with a sometimes complicated plot so demands your full attention. There are more of his movies/tv series available and I have watched them all on Paradiso and ALL of them are good. If you like this one there are more !

Bait

Not to my liking I'm afraid

(Edit) 21/03/2020

Didn't realise this film was in black and white and seemed to be set in the 1980's. Too dark and moody for my liking, local fisherman versus

holiday home visitors and the fracas ensued by differences of stature and moral principles.

Saying that my husband quite enjoyed it.
