Trump Hatchet Job that Fails to Connect
5 November 2021
We all know that the globalist media hate Trump.

That's a given.

The problem with this series is that despite the best efforts of the producers of this very well produced BBC documentary desperately trying to gaslight us into believing Trump was a very bad president, through their 3 part episodes we realise how terrific and effective President Trump actually was in standing up to the corrupt globalist system.

A bit of an own goal when the fake news try desperately to shepherd us into their world view - and we start rooting for one of Americas Greatest Presidents.

When you go Woke - You Go Broke!
10 April 2021
Great film let down by a pitiful short B-Grade actor in the lead role. I thought the Russian lead actor reminded me of the great Kenneth Branagh until I realised much later after I finished watching this film that that Russian villian was actually played by Kenneth Brannagh! Haaha!

Don't know who the comical black lead actor was but I found him very similar to a Mister Bean character attempting a serious James Bond role. I guess someone in Hollywood went woke and thought a short little black bearded jockey would be best served as the hero lead character. Go Woke Go Broke. Way to Go Hollywood. Keep up the good work.

Fails o Ignite
9 October 2018
Sorry to dampen your spirits. I wanted to like this film a lot but it fails to excite. Fails to ignite and in the end feels like a muddled wet blanket excuse for a movie making experience. Hey, the scenery, the camera work and attention to detail is great. Very evocative. The actual story and editing is less so. It strikes me as the type of film a real enthusiast for Oscar Wilde would make as a homage to the man and then struggle through heaps of revisions and funding cuts and criticism from various studios to get it made and then at the end - prove that the critics were right. It's not very good because the writer's vision splendid didn't really cut through or know what it sought to portray except to say - "I love Oscar Wilde!" Because in the end, we as passive viewers don't really care about Oscar at all. Towards the end of the film, I turned to my wife and whispered to her that this film despite its best impulses, actually damns Oscar Wilde as a self indulgent narcissist. A prat by sheer accident. I don't think that was the intention of the film-makers! She agreed. No real insight to the creative spirit of the man and she lost interest and went to bed. The trailer looked terrific but the movie despite it's best endeavours to immortalise the man - actually makes you lose all sympathy for him and strangely you feel unmoved by his predicament at the end.
