WTF
31 July 2021
Without a doubt, one of the worst films I have seen in my entire life. I will never understand how this film was ever given the green light.

Just awful
25 April 2021
One of the worst films I have seen in a very long time. The writing is atrocious and the acting from the lead actress is plain embarrassing. I have always been a fan of the director, but this is definitely a big nail in his careers coffin.

Fatman (2020)

Very good idea, poorly executed
8 December 2020
Absolutely loved the ideas within the film, but it took long to get going for me. Mel Gibson was perfect for the part. Enjoyed the last 20 minutes.

Awful
12 June 2020
Worst film I have watched so far this year. If this is the quality of film that is going to be screened on Disney + I will not be renewing my subscription. Dreadful screenplay brought to life by cardboard cutouts doing the acting. I usually enjoy anything that Kenneth Branagh is involved in but goodness knows what went wrong here.

Perfect Saturday tea time viewing
6 June 2020
This is the type of show I would loved to have watched on a Saturday evening as a kid. Its definitely worth a watch, and I would like to see another season, but if it has to be eight episodes long it really needs to have a faster pace,the whole story could have been told in six episodes. Well made show, with perfect casting.

Come to Daddy (2019)

Quirky

Wouldn't have described this as a horror, but it is a fairly enjoyable quirky black comedy. Some very good one liners, and the best performance coming from Michael Smiley.

Nice but predictable
27 May 2020
Always worth watching a film with Brian Cox in it. But adds nothing new to the genre, but well made all round.

How on earth did Guy Pearce end up in this piece of trash,was somebody blackmailing him? Cannot think I of anything good to say about this film. Avoid at all costs.

I See You (II) (2019)

Needs to be watched
25 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Very good thriller. Thought I was watching a certain genre and it completely surprised me by being something completely different to what I was expecting. Cannot believe this did not get a bigger release because it deserves to be seen. Some very good twists.

Sit back, relax and enjoy

Some people take things too seriously. This was a damn good, take your brain out action film. Amazing action sequences and very funny in places.

Glad this was my first d-box experience
2 May 2014
This was my first D-BOX experience,and I have to say it was amazing.And it definitely helped that this film was incredible.Didn't think for one second it would be better than Andrew Garfield's first outing as spidey,but it so was. The special effects were outstanding,but with this type of film,you would expect nothing less.And although it is laden with special effects,I thought this was a very character driven movie,with some wonderful actors. I think Andrew Garfield is a very good actor,and I am so looking forward to him giving a performance as good as he did in Boy A(2007).I was impressed with Dane Dehaan(who reminded me of a young Leonardo Dicaprio)and I will have to check out some more of his films this weekend.Jamie Fox made a very good villain.I was wary when I heard there was going to be three villains in the film,but it works very well.Shame we have to wait till 2016 for the next spider man film,but I do hope they keep the same director,Marc Webb on board,he is another talent to keep an eye on.

Lawless (2012)
10/10
bloody brilliant
2 March 2013
I never have been and never will be a fan of Shia LaBeouf.So every film i hear of,which he stars in,i never rush to see.the only reason i even entertained seeing this is because of the rest of the cast.And i have to say,i am so glad i watched this,AND,Mr LaBeouf is actually quite watchable in this.

The acting all round is superb.I couldn't keep my eyes off Guy Pearce,he is brilliant as the slimy,creepy special deputy. Tom Hardy is also exceptional,some other actors could have gone over top with this role,but he keeps it so low key,and it works. Dane DeHaan,who was in Chronicle,the best sci fi film in ages,is also very good in the small,but pivotal role of cricket.i am very impressed with this young actor,i think and hope he is going to be a name to look out for in the future,i will certainly be watching his next few films.

Another pleasant surprise for me,was the screenplay,written by Nick Cave.Looking forward to whatever his next screenplay will be. I was surprised at the 18 certificate it has been given.yes there are quite a few blood spurts,but the violence is definitely not over the top considering the violent tale that is being told.it is shame the certificate is so high because it will probably put a lot of people off watching what is a very good story. I do wonder if there is going to be a longer,directors cut,because i do feel,a lot more could have been told,and a lot more could have and should have been made of Gary Oldmans character.
