Wickensburg (2022)
5/10
One for the family
28 November 2023
I enjoyed this film, mostly for the performances of the younger members of the cast, who out-acted the adults without exception. It's always good to see young talent coming through, and I'll be watching out for them in the future.

The film was a fun, rainy afternoon movie for all the family and it had a clear story and plot.

The adults in the cast could learn a thing or two from the kids, who demonstrated their ability to cope with both the humorous and dramatic parts of their roles. Most of the adults' performances were somewhat wooden, so the kids were giving them an acting master class throughout.

A Charming Valentine (2023 TV Movie)
3/10
Disappointing!
18 April 2023
This film could have been so much better!

Whoever was in charge of Carolina Bartczak's wardrobe and hair/wig, should be sacked! They were both such a distraction from a very average movie that needed all the help! The direction was poor and did the cast no favours, and some of the support actors were better than the leads, particularly Tanisha Thammavongsa, who made the best of her role. I sometimes enjoy watching a movie again to catch some things I may have missed the first time around, but this is not one of those! I really felt that watching this was time wasted and I cannot recommend it, even as a rainy day movie!

Maternal (2023)
8/10
Loved this!
24 January 2023
I started out intending to watch just the first episode and ended up watching them all because it was so compelling! All 3 of the female leads were excellent in this brilliantly written series, but it was altogether a strong cast. Having worked in a hospital for some years, I found it to be very true to life and believable, giving true insight into the pressures the NHS staff are under. Well done to all concerned and I really hope there will be another series because we need to see more drama like this.

It's always a good sign when you don't want a series to come to an end and this was one of those series!

The Wedding Fix (2022 TV Movie)
4/10
No chemistry
15 May 2022
Beautiful scenery and visually appealing but sadly ruined by the lack of chemistry between the two main characters. They always seemed to be trying too hard to fake it. The second couple who were getting married were far more convincing.
