Ghost (2020)
Terrible film, generic cliche story line, shambolic acting
Don't waste your time. You will be tortured with cringe worthy scenes of awkward moments where it seems the characters forget their lines and their ques and end up speaking over each other. Interactions and conversations are dragged out painfully, as if either actor does not know what's next in the script. That's if there was a script. I think this could have possibly been thought up on the spot. Can't have spent more than a 500 quid on the budget. The storyline is a weak mix of most cliche crime/ gangster films you can think of. That's when you eventually get to the "story line" after an insanely slow dragged out first hour.
Uncut Gems (2019)
Fantastic must watch completely underestimated
This film takes you on a rollercoaster ride that is Howard's insane non stop live wire lifestyle. It's so stressful to watch. In the best kind of way. You feel the stress of the character seeping into yourself as you relate to him.
You find yourself begging that what's about to go wrong for Howard doesn't at every corner.
You really do find yourself gutted that it ends the way it does and that you don't get to see and experience Howard finally reaping the rewards he has gone through hell and high water for.
Masterpiece and IMO Sandler's best work yet, bearing in mind on a completely different genre.
Top Boy (2011)
The show as a whole is fantastic, Season 3 is flawless.
I have been a top boy fan since day 1 and thought we'd sadly seen the last of it after season 2. Then season 3 happened. S3 is hands down the best series of them all without a shadow of a doubt. If not, the greatest UK Crime Drama series of all time.This show is literally breathtaking. Gripping throughout. Brutal. It catches you from the get go and really makes you FEEL. you relate and feel what every character is feeling. The plot is thrilling. The acting is sublime.
Kane Robinson is sensational as he always was and should be known first and foremost for his acting even before his music. I want to see much more of him.
Everything just feels so real from the first minute and it immerses you in its dark, gritty brilliance from the first press of the play button.
You do not need to have watched the first 2 series at all, but why wouldn't you? I'd highly recommend you do just for your own entertainment extension and to build S3 up to the masterpiece that it is. Season 3 just shows the epic potential and capabilities of this show. The newly casted characters are fantastic also - and bring so much to the table in the best way.
Sorry Channel 4, but Netflix just blew this one out of the park. All I can say is thank god for Drake giving this show the reincarnation it deserves. You truly are treated to 10 bursting episodes of the best of British TV. You literally feel spoilt after every episode and just can't look away. I finished this in 2 days and now feel lost without, it really is one that sticks with you. This simply has to be a long standing hard hitter that comes back with season after season, it's something that can't get old. They have the best cast andan epic storyline with so much depth now, this can and should be a British great for years to come, give us more! 10!
