The Fall Guy (2024)
3/10
Good idea, missing a storyline
25 May 2024
Ryan Gosling is my favorite actor always has been. I watch any movie he makes as he usually makes good choices. This was not one of those.

I would say this is his worst film beside Nice Guys.

The idea, the locations, the stunts were fine.

The execution and script that was like an episode of Macgyver was just bad. The supporting cast only highlighted Ryan Goslings natural talent and. Charisma. Emily Blunt and Hannah Waddingham must have read a different script. It was very D grade story and had potential, but I hope Ryan enjoyed a holiday in Australia as Australia was the only good backdrop. Hard seeing an Oscar nominated actor in such a terrible film.

For under 10 year olds
23 March 2024
This was a hot mess from start to finish. The best bits were when I took a nap during. She has the appeal of karaoke singer and the moves of of your mum after a few drinks. This concert is relevant for Screaming girls who wrote in their diaries and fantasise about Prince Charming and Disney films. To be honest her vocals are just average and I know people rave about her writing but those people have had limited exposure to music. This was overhyped had 20 too many songs. I would only recommend this to anyone struggling to sleep. It's as exciting as a headache. She is not a great performer it all feels phoney.

Oppenheimer (I) (2023)
1/10
Overrated overhyped overly long
17 March 2024
I really tried to watch this with an open mind. I didn't know anything about the premise. But every person was raving about it. I have no idea how Robert Downey Jnr won any award let alone be nominated. He was awful. This film dragged and dragged and took 4 breaks to get through it. In the end I still had no idea what I just watched. The only positive was Emily blunt and Josh Hartnett. There will be no best editing awards as this movie went on longer than the pandemic. I can see why Barbie was so popular competing with this snooze fest. If you do watch this. Set aside 5 hours, and a pillow as it's very drab.

Why did Sean Penn say yes?
1 October 2023
Terrible from start to finish. Sean Penn, Matthew Fox and Susan Sarandon are like fish out water with this cast of nobodies. It's just not good, clunky writing, overacting and it seems like the only way Aussie content gets green lit is if they snag an international star or two. Hard to believe the cast of Dead Man Walking ended up in this D grade show. I would not recommend this to anyone. I guess money talks as I have no idea how A listers said yes to this. I'd rather rewatch Sean penns bomb Shanghai surprise. Then sit through this. It's been highly promoted but seems most money was spent on advertising than script!

The Idol (2023)
5/10
It's no Euphoria
9 July 2023
It's no Euphoria at all. The acting pulls euphoria and the graphic material. The acting on the idol is very hard to not cringe at. Cliches are left right and Centre and it's like watching showgirls and sliver. The performances are just not strong. The best thing is the use of Music especially Madonnas Like A Prayer. It was captivating and the show needed more of those moments.

Euphoria had a point and epic side characters. This is just expensive, silly, not even close to showing the entertainment industry. It's quite silly when it had the chance to show a female music artist in the height of popularity.

Ted Lasso (2020–2023)
5/10
First two seasons are good the final is cheesy
15 June 2023
I enjoyed season 1 and 2 by season 3 it got so cheesy I felt like I was watching full house. The characters charm worn out. And Jason sudekis's Ted lasso seemed to fall to supporting not lead character. The final episode was barely watchable. Good decision to end it at 3 seasons. It got over the top and very cliche. The acting remained good but the storylines involving the team bonding was embarrassing and unbelievable. I looked forward to it finishing by season 3. The UK / American mix got irritating. It was good until it wasn't. I'm sure it'll scoop awards season again. But there are better shows than season 3.

Madonna: Gambler (1985 Music Video)
9/10
Fan Favourite finally released 2022
9 December 2022
1985 hit song "Gambler" has finally made its global streaming and digital retail debut - more than 37 years after its initial release. Previously, the song (in its 7" version) was only available on the Vision Quest film soundtrack (released by Geffen Records), while the dance mix and instrumental mix were previously available decades ago on physical singles outside of the U. S. "Gambler" has never been included on any Madonna album. It was Madonna's personal request," according to a representative at Rhino To release the song finally.

American fans did not get a proper single release for "Gambler," an official music video was played by U. S. MTV for a few weeks in late June and early July in 1985. But Fans who attended Madonna's The Virgin Tour concert that summer also saw her perform the track live. The song hit the Australian Top 10.

This is not a documentary
21 November 2022
After watching Billie Eilish, Selena Gomez, Shawn Mendes, pink docos recently this was basically a concert with a few snippets backstage. I would not call this a documentary. I learnt nothing about her orsaw an interesting perspective on touring. This simply should have been a concert special for fans. Thank god for the fast forward button. Boring and super camp. I enjoyed it when it finished and can never hear her sing again. It was only for fans. Where other artist documentary's show you something that can change perspective or appreciate an artist. This was so bland, so camp, and only for die hard fans.

Nope (2022)
1/10
The least scariest thriller horror 1/10
19 September 2022
I had to leave the cinema it put me to sleep.

Really really really slow, predicate and lame acting.

Easily worst film of the year and I had to sit through Thor.🙄 This genre has been over done to the point of predictability.

Daniel kaluuya's acting is laughable.

Avoid this film it's a big NOPE from me and the 8 people sitting in the cinema I wouldn't even recommend it if it was free tickets.

Any scare was a laugh. Did not deserve a theatrical release. So many films that don't get that luxury. Yet this film somehow wasted big screen space.

Last Jordan peele film I will ever watch.

Two thumbs down!

It's about as riveting as showgirls.

What a final let down. Such high expectations!
19 June 2022
If they had focused more on how awesome it would of looked day to day for Dinosaurs and animals and humans co-existed after the previous films. It could have been jaw dropping.

So many characters the dinosaurs were more like extras!

This is the first film I had no jumps or felt zero tension.

Thank god we finally saw the Dimetrodon.

I just wish after films the plesiosaur got some screen time.

Sad it was in production this long and we got an action film not a dinosaur film.

Justin Long one of the worst actors of the last two decades
22 January 2022
If I ever see Justin Long cast in anything which is never any role anyone remembers I run for a book!!

It seems talent doesn't matter.

At least Ryan Phillipe is in this.

Justin long please retire.

I really wanted to love this.......
6 January 2022
But it was boring. Paul Rudd great on the big screen - doesn't resonate on the small screen.

Will Ferrell is good but basically it was not engaging I gave up after ep 5.

Ben Platt nominee worst actor Razzie deserved
6 January 2022
Ben Platt's acting was so lame. I watched with my hands over my eyes.......refund please.

I have no idea how this was made!

It's just like a bad episode of Dawson's Creek.

I doubt anyone will remember this film once watched.

Nothing original here
4 January 2022
So cliche and over used stereotypes Any scenes with Ncuti Gatwa as the cliche gay kid make you hit fast forward to look for better acting.

Waste of time.

Jonas Brothers Family Roast (2021 TV Special)
2/10
Not a roast more like a bad idea
28 November 2021
Pete Davidson the only funny thing in this.

Roasts should be scathing I felt like I was watching an Ellen special so bad.

I'm only giving it 2 for Pete.

Woeful acting
4 October 2021
Ruby Rose is simply a headline in Australia notoriously difficult and is only remembered for a short stint as an MTV VJ. Why she was cast with very limited acting experience is sad. There's so many great actresses that are good at what they do. Acting. Ruby is good at being a difficult D grade celebrity.what a flop.

So cringe worthy.

Osher Guinsberg is cringeworthy
25 July 2021
Osher must host every show on network 10 and it's overkill there are some great hosts and better variety.

The only season watchable was when Locky Gilbert was bachelor.

It's more a 15 min of fame show for the botoxed girls.

Avoid avoid avoid!

Australian Survivor (2016– )
9/10
Impressive production
25 July 2021
Jonathan Lapaglia is a fantastic host.

And it would be hard to live up to the skills of Jeff Probst. I love U. S.survivor so had lots of expectations.

I was not disappointed the camera work, the angles, the contestant selection and the challenges are better then the U. S the effort that's gone into the challenges actually surpass the U. S. version. Less puzzles more endurance.

The contestants get more airtime and it's impressive.

Locky, Dave, Benji, Henry, Luke, what legends.

So addictive!

Georgia (1995)
10/10
Deserved more acclaim for acting and the soundtrack
24 July 2021
Jennifer Jason Leigh is so mesmerizing even in moments where she fails and crashes, it's still so entertaining and vulnerable. You just can't not love Sadie.

The acting and singing are Oscar worthy, especially when the sisters are dueting on a Mare Winningham song " if I wanted" it's so well performed that you don't care Sadie can't sing.... It's her persona that's captivating.

Powerful top 5 of favorite films!

Unwatchable
20 June 2021
There's a lot more talented people than Lin Manuel Miranda. Over hyped. Overacted and the main actor Anthony Ramos is so bland.

Finally a documentary that shows the artist warts and all
23 March 2021
Just great snd I wasn't a fan but became one. Witnessing the birth of songs, clips, tours and an embarrassing drunk Orlando Bloom made this feel real. Impressive

Good but could have been so much more
23 March 2021
It's sweet just safe way too safe. After witnessing the style of Billie Eilish's doco. I can't help but wonder how much better this could have been. It just felt too PG and Disney. I'm positive there was so much great unused footage that could have shaped this from good to iconic!
