Well, it didn't go in the direction I thought it would, or hoped it would. I didn't like it as much as other's did, that's not to say it was bad, it was just alright for me. What could of been a great story, ended up dry and uncreative in the end. At least that's how I feel about it, was well produced, and acted, all the right scores were there, just for me, it fell grossly short.

This has similarities with The First Omen. That being said, the cinematography is beautiful, and Miss Sweeney played her part very well.

This was a bad one y'all my wife picked it she thought it was going to be so good it was not. it is about two sisters seeking revenge on on a business they believe to have caused their father's death . It's bad acting y'all bad plot just a waste of time. . Oh it was so bad. I can't even find the words to describe it ... ... Stay blessed y'all. .

a disaster ... mediocre ... no plot
JS has done better than this
Not worthy of an action movie
Action does not mean ... stupidity

I love all these actors. What a pity the script that brought them together wasn't really worth a watch. Avoid.

Someone with a bucketload of money, and a cliche of a script that belongs in the 80s, convinced some of the world's best actors to make this embarrassment. I won't go on about why I thought the script was trash because honestly- it would be a boring rant.

[SPOILER]Didn't gratuitous violence against women in movies end a while ago? I really don't mind a movie about men doing manly things, but can we cut out the watching of women being mutilated for no particular reason? ...

I highly recommend NOT reading other peoples reviews of this movie and simply watch it and judge for your self. If possible, don't even watch the trailer, nor read any synopsis or reviews, just watch it COLD and without the bias of foreknowledge regarding many complaints that most people consider this story an old predictable plot lacking in originality and substance.
...
Personally, I'm not always looking for complex Oscar winning story lines featuring star studded faces plastered on the screen to help draw in large crowds. Sometimes I just want something simple, yet entertaining, without all the hype and expectations of some new epic 3-part adventure planned over the next several years.

Damsel seems to have brought a breath of fresh air and new perspective, to a rather old and almost forgotten fairy tail type adventure worth experiencing at least once in this more novel modern telling.

this is such a life living story,
we all feel for Kya,
the betrayls, the hope, the mercy of strangers.
love, adulthood and the Marsh...

Not sure why this is set as a documentary?
its a stand up show with Jimmy Carr,
when your face is your trademark, as i think Jimmy's very much is,
together with his special laugh,
i'm taken back by that he looks very different, lost his laugh
AND lost his EDGE, very dissapointed watching this...
... recommend you watch an older show with him

the kung fu panda series are not my favorite cartoons,
but definatly good for a watch,
Jack Black is still a perfect voice match for Poo,
pretty sure kids still love this..

It wasn't that bad. I had a good watch , lunch time. Quite a an effort to present the plot. I recommend others give it a try and not get influenced by very low rates. It's over the baseline in my ratings.

Very hard to follow. I couldn't get in touch or like something. It wasn't my kind of sci-fi vid. Can't give a rate, leaving that for the others.

Good work. I expect controversial rating. As history indicates, the academic community never made real efforts to openly research and offer studies over the propaganda and it's results. They are always irreversible, hold significance and they are presented only when academically serve the parties and movements in power. ... In a simple lapse of the eons in our history of course. Thus only, and for the simple audience the facts in this film are presented mostly by following the money ways or associations. 9/10 from me for the effort.

Very nice animation. The concept is quite unique and interesting. It makes though the film long and semantic than experiential. Unless the target audience is not including kids, the messages are not very complicated and the film is full of them. The concepts of creation, kill, survival, mating, parenting e.t.c are objectified through a full animated metaphor. ... Good work, rate starting from 6/10 from me.

Just finished this. By the end, I'd forgotten hearing that the ending was supposed to be a little shocking, but I don't think I was expecting that. Sshh. No spoilers.
There's some blood and gore in this one. So be ready for that if you don't like that sort of thing.
I thought the story of how the pregnancy happened was at least a little original. Acting, effects, etc. were good.
... I don't really have a lot of complaints.
It kept me watching from beginning to end. Though, it might have been a little slow at times, every time my mind started to drift something started happening for a while.
Anywho, definitely worth at least a watch.

It’s a decent film with obvious flaws that, nevertheless, do not render it a major mistake. The CGI is, as expected, perfect; the landscapes are appropriate; the aesthetic is on point; and the actors perform well, with a few exceptions such as Zendaya, who struggles with her role.

Now, onto the flaws:
...
The second film feels rushed, aiming for a conclusion that also seems like a beginning. Compressing the source material into two movies is challenging, especially when the director aims to capture the slow, tranquil desert scenes, which were an intentional part of the original material.

One of the central aspects of Dune is the depiction of the planet's extreme aridness and the tribes' barren landscape, followed by a striking contrast when these people are revealed to have vast reserves of water hidden underground. This symbolizes their hope to restore their planet to a vibrant, life-sustaining world. However, some sequences failed to convey this impact effectively and may not leave a lasting impression on the audience.

Timothée Chalamet, who plays the main character, is a skilled actor, but his abilities cannot compensate for his lack of the required physical presence. He often appears like a thin scarecrow trying to pose, fight, and move like a muscular superhero, resulting in a less-than-ideal portrayal.

As mentioned, Zendaya delivers her lines and displays moody expressions, but her performance lacks the intensity, skill, and passion of the original character. Nonetheless, her diverse background and current popularity made her a safe casting choice.

The film lacks memorable music that could elevate it, relying instead on pseudo-ethnic chants that do little to leave a lasting impression. Unlike other works like Game of Thrones or Westworld, the film's soundtrack is mostly silent.

Drawing inspiration from the original source, the movie does not shy away from depicting the Fremen as reminiscent of Middle Eastern cultures on Earth. While this parallelism may have been intentional, some may argue it was a safe choice that falls short of conveying a truly alien world.

In conclusion, while this is a decent film, it may not leave a lasting impact.

We tried this one and just couldn't take it. I want to know when would a house full of models ever get along??? So unrealistic....lol! Seriously though these people should find another job besides acting. 💋

Pleasant watch for lovers of martial arts and the corresponding oldies. Younger audience may find similarities with the IPman plot details behind the resistance against the Japanese invaders, rofl. 7/10 from me

Nice biopic. I enjoyed it! Familiar with the melodies that traveled to the West and gave birth to bhagra remakes, now I know their origin and meaning. Nice to get the full cultural background of the tunes. 7/10

With a Beautiful Mind under his belt. I thought it would be worth a punt with it being in a similar vien. Solid cast and script right off the bat. I liked the Momento propting feel to Crowe's character. It was a little predictable to what the outcome was going to be, however it was done way better than many other movies of this type. ... For sure worth a watch, but it's not an edge of the seat ride.

bit different (than talk to the hand)
i liked this version of similar stories,
perfect for a rainy day,,,

this was a fun trip back to when movies where really poorly made
it was more funny than scary,
not many actors i recognized...

[SPOILER]this is the third killer with dementia movie recently,
previous with liam neeson and russel crowe, what's up hollyweird?
This is a thriller with a sad note,
Michael Keaton does a great performence here,
and i didn't see Al Pacino was in it,
definatly recommend

This was actually a really good flick. Like the commentor above me, it actually reminded me of Fargo and I had to look twice to see if this was a Coen Brothers production. Steve Zahn’s character was just quirky enough. I thought it had a great plot and it moved through really fast considering it was nearly 2 hours. ... Definitely worth a watch and highly recommended. Glad I saw it in the “popular last 7 days” listing.

I was heavenly surprise with this one. I knew it was a post to be good. But I didn't know it was this good. It had me hooked from start to finish. This was a solid action movie. I remembered reading the book when i was in 3rd or 4th grade. And seeing the og movies over a holiday weekend marathon on the sci fi channel. ... This movie did a fantastic job remaking it.

This was decent enough especially if you have nothing else to watch at the moment. Swedish horror usually does the trick. This one was a bit long though, it seemed to go on and on forever. Other than that, pretty good. 💋

Very good film. Bravo, my compliments. Starting with a captivating piano theme, the filming components far exceeded my expectations. Awesome topic, performances, directorship. If the directorship and sound specialists were bolder in using the music and sound assets they had, I would rate as almost perfect. ... 8.5/10 my rating.

Skandal! Bringing Down Wirecard (2022)
I remember seeing the name Wirecard in the news several years ago, but thought it was some fraud in Germany that did not seeem relevant to me so never checked it out.
This movie/ doco is about the sudden growth of a very large company that had governments in its pocket, and the investigation by the UK Financial Times that started from small questions and exposed the biggest fraud in German history with investors losing billions of Euros.
... The scale of what they did is breathtaking. A few people at the top organised a massive money-laundering enterprise while several thousand employees all thought it was a great business and defended it from 'an attack by short-selling foreigners'.
However watch this now and consider the international news; Wirecard was also involved in misinformation, crisis creation and election interference, and had connections to Russia. The US elections happen this year and the activities of right-wing extremists suggest Russia is still doing it, but what company is the new Wirecard?
Must-watch movie, and much to think about.
8/10.

Great cast and entertaining movie. I love movies like this that have those twists and turns that keep you guessing as to what is going on. Like Fargo and other small town crime movies. This one is a great addition.

This silent masterpiece filmed by Murnau came just before the era of talkies changed everything. It has Janet Gaynor as well as Margaret Livingston, who transitioned to talkies unlike many.

The photography is surreal to look at, and the pacing adds to that non-real dreaminess. However, no matter how hard Murnau may try to make this film in 1997, he didn't. ... It was filmed more than half a century prior, Seventy years earlier in 1927 between the two world wars as the world was beginning to collapse and be changed again by oligarchs, destroying forever the time period captured in this film.

Slow burn sami drama,
reindeers in the thousands,
a small girl seeing her favorite reindeer getting killed,
and the killer scare her to silence, but the slaughters continues...

If one decides to get along with the plot, giving credits to the fact that a person with Alzheimer can pull all of this, that this innovative therapy could trigger such response and so on, he may like the film. If one founds silly the whole plot comparing with reality, he may not like the movie. I decided to get along and it was ok. ... Not really much but I had some good time with it. It's over the baseline in my rating, close to 6/10.

This was quite entertaining. It's fast paced, the spooks are nice, and the final reveal gave me everything I wanted. That's it.

Surprise Ending. Excellent Acting & Script. Definitely worth a watch, with all it's twists & turns. Russel Crowe still has it & with his talent, you can bet its a Good Movie.

I like dystopian movies turning utopian...
Milla and Jennifer doing some great acting,
kinda simple story but important elements within,
future here we come

Samuel L Jackson doing a great performence as always,
going to Scotland we follow the trail of a serial killer from Chicago,
or is it a copycat?
[SPOILER]the twist isn't totally unexpected,
but the ending was to me, expected a shoot out

Kung Fu Panda 4 brings back the lovable Po and his friends for another adventure. While the animation and visual effects are as impressive as ever, the storyline falls short compared to its predecessors. The plot lacks originality and fails to deliver the same level of excitement and emotional depth we have come to expect from the franchise. However, the action sequences and humor still manage to entertain, making it a decent watch for fans of the series.The movie offers enough action and nostalgia to keep fans engaged, making it a satisfactory addition to the series, While it's enjoyable and yet the story feels predictable, and the character development was a just OKAY.
...
There's a reason this doesn't make it as better as it's 2016 predecessor (even though Part 1 & 2 are very good, part3 not so much) because it's plot-line feels so copy-cat to the today's film formula and that is the Multiverse-timeTravel related, even though this movie was not any of those but the nostalgic manipulation was overused like THE FLASH 2023. Also this 4th installment was the only movie in the franchise to have the lowest budget than any of it's predecessors since Jackie Chan, Lucy Liu or Angelina Jolie wasn't brought back at all. ANyway the box-office was a huge success and the critics are well reviewed.

Even though this deviates from the literature, I thought this was better than part one. That's it.

while the documentary does a really good job showing the far-right and the huge network they have and how they've essentially taken over the Republican Party (which was already too far right I think to begin with) the idea that a credible voice is Bill Kristol one of the biggest professional liars and the idea the military is this sacred institution when the military/US military itself is a right-wing institution is just soo laughable and sinks the credibility of this documentary. ... folks who want to end to the far-right madness have to do better then this and all of this is domestic, there are no Russians or Chinese 'sowing division' this is as American as Superbowl Sunday.

Marguerite & Julien (2015)
This is an interesting love story/ drama/ tragedy from France, with an unusual production style.
A free-spirited girl and her brother from a wealthy family in rural France [SPOILER]who grow up together but are separated for several years. They re-unite in their twenties and a relationship develops, shocking the family ... .
The story is presented partly as a children's folk-tale between the scenes. This works quite well to break up a fairly heavy tragedy.
The ending is dramatic. No spoilers, just watch to the end.
Recommended, 7/10.

Having watched “Madame Web,” I came away with mixed feelings. The film, led by Dakota Johnson as Cassandra “Cassie” Webb, showcases a strong performance by Johnson, who brings depth and a nuanced touch to the character. She effectively captures the struggle of a woman grappling with sudden supernatural abilities and the weight of future events she can foresee but struggles to control.
...
The premise of Cassie mentoring future Spider-Women introduces a fresh dynamic into the superhero narrative, offering a blend of mentorship and action. However, the film’s execution sometimes felt cluttered, with several plot points and character arcs introduced but not fully explored. This left some of the secondary characters feeling one-dimensional, despite the strong performances from Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, and Celeste O’Connor.

Visually, “Madame Web” was a treat. The psychic and action sequences were well-crafted, with vibrant effects that effectively conveyed the supernatural aspects of Cassie’s powers. Yet, these sequences sometimes overshadowed the story, leading to a film that felt unbalanced between its desire to dazzle with visuals and its need to develop a coherent, engaging plot.

The film’s attempts at humor and emotional depth were appreciated, even if they didn’t always land as intended. Johnson’s deadpan delivery was a highlight, providing some much-needed levity amid the more serious undertones of destiny and duty.

In conclusion, “Madame Web” serves as an interesting, albeit flawed, addition to the superhero genre. It struggles with pacing and depth but offers enough spectacle and strong performances to make it a worthwhile watch for fans of the genre looking for something a bit different. The potential for further exploration of its characters and themes in future sequels gives hope that the kinks could be ironed out in later films.

Very suspensful, dark and creepy. The atmosphere of these old english homes is creepy enough. I think that I would have trouble sleeping in an old creaky house like that. I like the storyline, it seemed familiar but not. My favorite parts were when they went over 2 minutes. worth a watch.

Feeling like Jon Voight sold out for this spy/agent movie,
acting and fighting is a bit meh,
but the ending was cool tho

what in the world am i watching, seems like the producers thought on one thing to make this movie possible and that is "pre-historic parasite in today's era, what will happen" that's it, because from my reaction, the movie lacks everything, the story so dull, everything a plot-hole, all the characters does not have anytime to developed at all, they are so dull and immature and they just do right or wrong whenever the plot want to move forward and it's not so convincing the way they planned or showing ideas, the casts doesn't seem to be the main problem here but the decisions making in direction, editing really disappointed and especially very lack in making the sequences more interesting, They maybe students but i don't know how they were recruit and how they behave already made this movie a cheap value to be remember. ... When the formula of Cabin Fever and replace it with pre-historic parasite and failed literally. it's a really dumb movie.

Quite the unique movie,
i didn't even mind it being in italian and german,
great acting and freakish characters,
seeing the circus i was wondering if kids today will ever understand
the ''wonder'' a visit there was to the older generations??
Please considder watching this despite the foreign languages...

been searching for over TEN YEARS for this movie and glad I found it. however I remember the movie being much more funnier but hey some movies no matter what period age well and others simply don't and I guess this is one of them. If you like Whoopi Goldberg and want something which is slightly lighthearted crime/cop film then this is for you, and fans of Sam Elliot will enjoy him in this movie but its really not all that great of a film.

Grimsby 2024, also released as Grimsby brothers 2024..
This is one for anyone who lived in UK and likes odd-ball comedy; others might have difficulty with the sense of humour or the accents.
Two brothers get separated as children, then meet up twenty years later when one is a secret agent with all the gadgets and the other is a beer-swilling soccer hooligan with some really gross habits.
Memorable scenes include the [SPOILER]numerous foul-mouthed children ... the [SPOILER]two women in green dresses the [SPOILER]elephant scene … and many more.
Funny performances from Sasha Baron Cohen, Rebel Wison (who made a complaint about harassment by Sasha B-C afterwards), and some wonderful children.
Great fun, 7/10.

not bad production wise, great effects, good acting. BUT [SPOILER] who gets emotionally attached to a ghost?. that was a deal breaker for me there. all down hill from there.

Another great performence by Russel Crowe,

supposedly to cure his disease Alzheimers,
memories are starting to pop up as he looks int o a case of murder,
that he was investigating....

Once in a while I want to see something again that I really liked and am surprised when I find it that I haven't rated it or said anything about it.
This is just such a movie. It has been a while, and in my defense, it came out in the late 90s.
It's a good one, though.
A man awakens one night in a bathtub with no memory in an apartment with a body. He runs, not knowing if he is the killer, or he's being set up.
... Shortly after, he begins to witness strange events.
The city falls asleep at regular intervals, and while everyone sleeps, the people are repositioned, the city itself is changed, and entire lives are edited for unknown reasons. Some strange beings seem to be at the heart of it, moving around while everyone is out, changing things as they wish.
But he alone seems immune to their influence.
This looked on paper like something that would probably fail, but it turned out to be very good, and I've watched it a bunch of times.
If you, for whatever reason, haven't seen this, check it out.
Definitely worth some watches. And rewatches.

I particularly liked the part where 5 bullets bounced off his chest and as he flew down to the burning car he blew out the flames and saved all the little kids inside. Oh wait that was superman. It was a freaking movie. I know you wanted to see disney come out with a 3D trans activist whose girlfriend is a lesbian bombing oil rigs and dating his sister. ... Spoiler alert! I like Denzel and this was a free movie that was not a 10 but it was entertaining enough to watch. If it didn't float your boat, DON'T watch it again. You can always watch reruns of Gilligan's island. I heard they made it off this time and the professor turned the girls into escorts. I love happy endings. Up, up and away!!!!

much to much, disaster/ destruction/ heartache... almost never a feel good ending.

This was very good, lots of fun, and beautifully done. I've not really played the games much but I'm going to have to now [SPOILER]cos they didn't explain the origin of the ghouls, nor how Lee Moldava seemingly lived for 200 years?

I never read the comics so have no idea if its on cannon or not. Looks amazing, with characters that ill be happy to get to know. These 8 episodes don't really take us to a destination but seem to serve as as spingboard for the second season. Which seems to be a bit of a trend with series at the moment. ... Cate Blanchet will no dought turn up in the second season, as I recall her in one of the trailers for the series. It's way better than the other post apoc style series in this vien Twisted Metal.

I caught this on Netflix when it was first released. I loved it. It is a slow Burn but does have some action scenes as well. I got into more than I thought I would. I would recommend to give it a chance. Also hoping for another season💋

Where is UFC 300????? Also Where is Wrestlemania 40 or XL this site use to be the best for fights like boxing and mma now everything is BS like a new moderator has taken over.

Walter Goggins is amazing in this! I was thrilled seeing Dale Dic&ey as well. What a fun and crazy series. I can't compare it to the game but I'm definitely enjoying this one! 💋

Season2 has got off to such a boring start! If it continues like this it would be such a shame effectively killed a great series

A must watch! Film Noir, work of art. Every frame is a spectacular photography shot! Incredible acting! Series based on the 99' movie "The Talented Mr. Riply". Thomas Riply takes on other Identities. Really dont want to burn it for you, just go for it and enjoy being captivated!

I'm not a gamer so not seen it before,
but the show is Awesome!!
only problem is the season in over

Truly exceptional and by no means not what we expected. Steve Martin truly is the most successful comic of all time. He's never been topped for his live performances. No single comic before got the Rock Star treatment because he was the first to have large scale arena tours, save for the greatest ensemble of all time, Monty Python who attracted a cult following of actual Rock Stars at their shows, such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin & Pink Floyd who even financially backed their film & live touring careers after the series was gone.
...
Steve however is a rather deep dude. His personal history is not just as a stand-up comic who transitioned to film actor. He began as a magician & writer, but he's always had his trusty banjo & a private love of art that is quite remarkable.

From his beginnings working at the Disney park all the way to his partnership with Martin Short, the banjo & art have always been there. As well as complicated conflicting inner feelings with his dad in particular that me & my twin heavily identify with.

While Steve is complex, multi-talented & funny, there is a current of sadness & isolation that hits too close to home that this documentary respects & displays as a prime shaper of his personal character. As life long fans who share his birthday, we're partial to him, but after watching this wonderful documentary, our appreciation for him has increased beyond measure. Long live Steve Martin.

I've been in love with Fallout since the beginning, and have played all of the games. This show really surprised me with how faithful, and true to the lore it stayed. From the look of the vault(s) to the weapons and clothing it did not stray far from the games. The cast did a phenomenal job, really making the characters feel real and whole.

I hope it gets renewed a second season, because I absolutely abhor cliff-hangers. Oh man, Matt Berry as Mr. Handy. The only issue I took with the show is [SPOILER]the way they did the Brotherhood of Steel, that "My Lord," bullsh-- ... But I guess if Bethesda Softworks was okay with it, then it isn't such a big deal.
Overall, there isn't a flaw here that I could find.

I really like this show and all of the new elements they add into it plus Pando is one of my favorite characterso I know future episodes are gonna be awesome.

I like this show a lot.I'll watch It everyday.Although it's all episodes they should bring this to my city

I have noticed this TV show a couple of times I never took the time to watch It.Just wanted to ask the question.Is it good?Is it worth watching or should I buy pets

Tonight episode was so good I hope everything works out he keep getting on messed up situations trying to save everyone but good thing he ok

really good!!! if you have played Fallout 4 or any of the others you can see some of the quests in these storylines! cant wait to see what they have for next season!

This is a provisional rating after watching the first episode (though I dont expect that rating to change)

I have been a hard core fan of the game since its inception. I have finished all of them several times over, trying different choices and approaches in every single playthrough. When I first heard of the making of the series, my reaction and expectations were between moderate to low, never expecting a smooth transition to film, considering the depth and extent that the games have gone.
...
So to see that world come alive in the way it does in the series is nothing short of a wet dream. The ambience and the immersion into the story is simply perfect. I am at a total loss for words.

A very strict and conservative 10/10. I couldnt recommend it more !!!!!

It's amazing how faithful they remained to the video games while creating a new story in a place not in the games so far, except in some brief lore. [SPOILER]Except for that view of New Vegas at the end, which suggests that season two may at least partially take place there. It could be fun to see those locations brought to life. ...
Acting and effects were great. Most of the props, vehicles and weapons were right out of the game, with a few small changes that were totally acceptable.
Gratuitous violence, fitting of a shooter/rpg game. And it is based on a game, so miraculous healing drugs that fix all of your problems fit right in.
Plenty of easter eggs sprinkled throughout the show for fans. They even played the theme music at one point, and said "War never changes" at least twice.
The voice of the robot that Codsworth was built from in the game sounded so close to the original that it was near perfect.
I had a lot of fun watching this.
Definitely worth a watch. Not just for fans of the games. I don't think you need to have played it to understand or appreciate the show.
Can't wait for season two.

While this Star Trek has the most interesting and visually pleasing opening graphics, the show itself has the worse scripts and actors! I had thought there would never be a Star Trek worse then Voyager with its' most insufferable Captain Janeway played by the actress Kate Mulgrew. Kate Mulgrew a woman who managed to kill off many of the shows she started in! Until Start Trek Discovery with Actress Sonequa Martin-Green who shows what happens when a minor unknown actress is given a staring role she is incapable of doing. ... Who is supported by a cast of misfits who make this the most dysfunctional Star Trek show to date! This Star Trek shows what one gets when DEI was deciding factor when casting members for this show. You get a woke a show with bad acting with scripts that seem to have been created by a poor inter city public high school creative writing class! While this show has limped along on the CBS/Paramount streaming service, if it had been showed on regular CBS it would have been lucky to has lasted one season, not 5 before getting axes on the CBS/Paramount streaming service which is mostly subscribed to by the more and most woke of viewers!

One of the best shows I have seen in ages Gary Oldman is fantastic in it

I loved big Sky season1 but after that I started to lose interest but still well worth watching 7/10 for me

I had high expectations for this miniseries based on Kate Winslet plugging it on the Graham Norton show but....ultimately its a very repetitive miniseries. the dictator's extreme/severe germphobia gets very annoying to watch after awhile, and Matias Schoenaerts who is brilliant in the movie Rust and Bone, I found his character super annoying and just like his role in the romantic drama with Robert Redford and Jane Fonda I thought he was overacting entirely in this movie. and I love how its clear she's batsh!t and shouldn't be anywhere near power and everyone around her smart and has their brains on tight and yet somehow they allow her to let a completely psychotic knucklehead like the Matias Schonearts character have heavy influence on her? dosen't add up. Anywho nearly every scene is him screaming about something, breaking something, yelling at her, and her only standing up to him twice.
...
anywho the whole thing was a mess but I felt it could've been more tolerable if they didn't have the Matias Schoenaerts character. then its clearly mocking the region of Eastern Europe, Russia, and any place that was part of the former USSR and even though the Eastern Communist Bloc and Russia as a communist country has been over for two decades now, a lot of overly simplistic stereotypical tropes comes up about how land reform is bad, and how even though the US and NATO are responsible for gross exploitation and mass crimes against humanity from Iraq to Libya, Afghanistan, to Latin America to Haiti to Syria to even Eastern Europe and Russia through both war, economic terrorism, color revolutions, and somehow they are still the partner to do business with while China is the one this unnamed country and the world should be fearing? Incredible the propaganda. And somehow they manage to mock Eastern Europe and Russia as still stuck in the past with communist hangovers and yet because the different competing far-right factions and very pro neoliberal successive governments the issue of "totalitarianism/corruption" is used even though its the West that props these movements and policies.

so anywho! didn't enjoy this, if you watch it, Enter at your own Risk, I will say Winslet plays her character well but it all gets annoying but episode three.

Peacemaker 2022, the new action-packed TV series, brings the beloved character from the DC Universe to life. While it has its moments of excitement and humor, it falls short of reaching its full potentials.

One of the strengths of Peacemaker lies in John Cena's performance as the titular character. His portrayal brings forth the charisma and quirkiness that fans have come to expect. The series also delivers on the action front, with well-choreographed fight scenes and thrilling sequences that keep viewers engaged.
...
However, there are a few areas where the show could have improved. The pacing feels uneven at times, with certain episodes dragging on while others rush through important plot points. This inconsistency impacts the overall narrative flow and makes it hard to fully connect with the storyline.

Another aspect that falls short is character development. While Peacemaker receives some attention, other supporting characters feel underdeveloped, lacking the depth needed to fully invest in their stories. Some subplots also appear rushed or unresolved, leaving viewers wanting more closure.

Furthermore, the humor, which initially adds levity to the show, occasionally feels forced and repetitive. While there are genuinely funny moments, the reliance on certain running gags becomes tiresome after a while.

Despite these flaws, Peacemaker does have redeeming qualities. The visuals are impressive, with stunning cinematography and eye-catching action sequences. The series also touches upon relevant social and political themes, providing some food for thought amidst the chaos.

A mindboggling, dark, twisted satire on the inner circle of corruption and power politics.

An impeccable Kate Winslet in the main role - at once seemingly naive yet wickedly manipulative in this game of chess with her shining knight/henchman (Matthias Schoenaerts).

Yhe familiar faces in the supporting cast give the feeling of aside actors in a Shakespearean play.
...
Perhaps a fly-on-the-wall preview for the future of the casa blanca or kremlin?

Worth the effort.

A 12 hour cinematic masterpiece, I will be rewatching this multiple times. 10/10 for any Star Wars fan, and for a reference point I have not enjoyed a Star Wars installment since Episode 1 (and by that mean Episode 1 and 4-6), after Episode 1 the content out there is not really worth watching, except for this. ... Bo Katan's transformation in season 3 is epic, "This is the way".

Classier Hitchcockian version of "The Talented Mr. Ripley" with the excellent Andrew Scott showing off his acting chops. Less is more here, with B&W photography to die for.

The 60s Italy in the days before google image searching.

Get version with sobtitles as there is a lot of native dialogue.
...

One of those series that will be worth revisiting. Bravo

very gripping drama, you will be binging this as you want to know all the answers and more, the acting is incredible but....I don't know I think they made this story far too complicated in the end, and there is far too many backstabbing and betrayals and [SPOILER] the idea the US would support Palestine statehood and is depicted as ever sanctioning Israel is such nonsense that I'm amazed the writer could get away with something no implausible. and I think what bothers me the most about this story is how the writer goes through great lengths to show that in the end of the day its Palestinians who can't be trusted, its Arabs who can't be trusted, despite all we know about Israel sabotaging even the Two state solution, and the West as well being complicit, its Palestinians of all kinds who are out for their own self-interest, blinded by revenge which are acknowledged as legitimate but its PAlestinians/Arabs who are at fault. the series does make the case that secret services from Israel to Britain should be abolished but I was quite upset with how much of the twists in a nutshell are Palestine is to blame for the stalemate and defacto one can't trust them. Also what soo not needed was our poor protagonist whose already been raped by a Palestinian gets raped AGAIN by someone, I mean how much bad luck and trauma can one person who sincerely wants to do good can endure?? ... and for that ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK.

3 Body Problem, Series 1 2024.
I saw episode 1, went straight into ep. 2, then watched the whole 8-part series over 4 nights. The story is quite addictive and not at all predictable.
Science fiction movies can be nerdy or centred on one scientific oddity without much of a human touch, but this is a whole collection of off-the-wall ideas strung together with an excellent cast who make it a story about humans. Good acting and some remarkable cinematography blending computer graphics with real scenes.
The international angle adds interest with events in China and UK fitting into the politics and culture of the time.
There are some wonderful bits of cinema, my favourite must be [SPOILER]the ship in the Panama canal (ep. 4) getting sliced in slow motion by wonder-fibres ... . What I could do with that stuff!
However I don't like untidy endings and this clearly sets up for several more series after this one which introduces the characters and the challenges they face.
So now we must all wait for series 2 to see what happens next.
Enjoyed it, recommended.
7/10.

This wasn't bad. An interesting serial killer show to pass the time. He's not Dexter. He doesn't kill only bad people. So, there's nothing really to like about him.
I didn't find it laugh out loud funny, just mildly humorous at times, in a dark way.
It's a little hard to take him seriously also. That accent just makes him sound so nice and friendly. But maybe that's also why it works.
... Anywho, it wasn't bad. Whether it just gets you through until something else releases, or you end up liking it more. It's worth a watch, IMHO.

Looks like writers just threw a bunch on nonsense basic garbage script together without even a though about details and reasons.
Garbage. That actress from GOT was good tho.

Wow, "Who a Peace" took a turn. I won't spoil it even with a spoiler, some auto news channel on my phone almost did and I clicked off of it in time. It was very moving, was shocking. I was thinking the show didn't have to do it, but they are trying to wind it down.

I love and good mystery and Elsbeth is a modern day Columbo. Each episode is witting and fun, and the pace is fantastic. I am looking forward to what the writers come up with next. I recommend taking a peek at this one.

this was ok but honestly just watch the film that stars Anne Hathaway as I thought it was more enjoyable and a pleasant adventure whereas this one I felt was over long at times. At first I didn't realize it was remake of that film/book until like episode two or three so enter at your own risk but I highly suggest the film with Anne Hathaway over this one.

if you liked Breaking Bad, I think you'll enjoy this often quite dark and tragic series. I was hoping it'd be a bit more light hearted and the trailers would have you fooled that this series is more comedy but honestly its quite a depressfest. If anything the deep dive into Saul Goodman, is a tragic character who I think can be a case study into someone who is very self-destructive and a self-saboteur and even when he's given a break, or someone wants to make peace with him, or he finally finds some semblance of peace he finds a way to just screw it up. ... I felt it was quite a sad story. The side story of this one guy who wants to break away from a violent Mexican Drug Cartel I thought was quite sad and those side stories I find where dragging too much after awhile, but if loved the character of Mike and Gus you'll enjoy watching them here again and the character of Kim Wexler, that actress is superb! do enjoy especially if you need something that is good old escapism but warning this is no light hearted fun.

for people who love journalism dramas like Network, the Insider, Good Night and Good Luck, and Spotlight I think you'll find a huge soft spot for this film. And if you like movies set in Japan, if you like Japanese films or series set on the Yakuza, if you like gangster dramas and more broadly crime dramas, then this series is a good cocktail for you. this is a Fairly good drama like the miniseries Giri/Haji, and Earthquake Bird which both have Westerners based in Japan and an exchange of culture but I would say this has a bit of a more satisfying conclusion then both of those. I think do enjoy this and unlike so many films or series of Westerners being in Japan and being miserable like Lost in Translation, Earthquake Bird, and Enter the Void, or Black Rain that awful but entertaining cop/gangster flick with Michael Douglas and Andy Garcia, here the main character Jake actually really likes being in Japan, learns the language so he's fluent and has respect for the culture and that's quite refreshing as if I could speak Japanese and go work and live there I'd be quite happy so its funny how Japan is often used as a setting where people are miserable and want to get out of their but I can imagine if you don't speak the language it can be quite a bummer.
...
anywho do enjoy this, the first season is great, the start of season two not so much but by episode seven it pick up immensely again. not much more I can type that others haven't typed already, do enjoy it.

Thefirst episode was great. They did a fantastic job. I been a fan of the games for a long. Seeing a tv show about it is pure greatness. There's this and two fan projects i adore

Been loving this show since the start. Having some of the same people involved as the original movie helped a lot, I think.
But I'm interested now to see where it goes from here.
2 episodes left.
I generally hate cliffhangers, but it was cool seeing Brad Dourif cameo at the end of this one as a ghost.

FBI is a great show shows how greed always trip u up never women money dope

What an awful episode. That wasted so much time to tell nothing at all withint the story arc. Why not have that as part od the previous episodes arc so as to keep the pacing nice. This just trew a spanner in the pacing and dragged the arc to an absolute stop. Terrible writting. There gonna have to pick there game up or this will be a forgotten Sci Fi series

F*CK YA TY D☢️S ! F A L L ☢️ U T T I M E!
.... Time to binge one of my fav post-apocalyptic universes hearing good things, hope in a moment i'm seeing good things as well ! LOL
Stay Hydrated Ya'll! 🏜 💀 ☀ 🧟‍♂️

wooow only lil girls fall for crazy dudes stuff i give this episode a 1 cus i know female like her and dudes like him

This was a good one. What a heart wrenching story. The family she has today, I wonder if it's her daughter? She didn't really say that she read l was. I was figuring she may not be able to have anymore after that. She is definitely meant to do something in this world by surviving what she did. 💋

Maybe a stupid question but, Is this the series finale?!?! 😢😢😖😭

what a wild show i love it best crazy show ever i give it a ten stars and charters are just as wild

I don't think they'll find much of a treasure. Though people with the fever follow anything to justify their madness.

an interesting miniseries. Like the Steve Spielberg/Tom Cruise film "Minority Report" the age old question of "what if" we can stop a crime BEFORE it happens and whether that's ethical is explored. this takes a deep dive into AI and like the algorithms Youtube feeds us or Spotifiy or Amazon or anytime you google looking for a vacuum cleaner or clothing or instrument and fed an avalanche of that or a similar product or what not, what if AI could predict who is most likely to commit a crime, who is prone to robbing or going to do a terrorist attack and would you apprehend the person or persons. ... I wouldn't watch this again, I got annoyed from the constant back to past then present then another present day/the future. And also like Doctor Who, a lot of big confrontation scenes are over too quickly I felt, but the acting, the issues raised, and some of the storylines I felt were compelling. I particularly like Kate Mara's (soo hot haha!) performance so this is an enter at your own risk, but its not too bad, worth a one time watch.

A fantastic opening to this season.I can't wait to see what will happen next.

This episode was so out of pocket even the main character died there was so excuse for everyone to die but it is this show [SPOILER]and then ends with we were just not prepared for that kind of wedding

What an amazing episode.I waited way too long to watch this one.Someone became a borderline God lol.People join the winning team.

Of interest - there is a Chinese place (wetv.vip/en) that has a 30 episode Chinese version of the book. The first two episodes are very slow.....but they have English words written on the bottom of the screen.

Unfortunately, if you want to see more it is a subscription. Hopefully someone will find a way to get these to this site.

Yes, the language in this is awkward - getting around prohibited words to write this

BIGTIME SPOILER DO NOT READ ON once it says spoiler!----WARNING! --------->
Ok, So first off what a great series and awesome atmosphere this has afforded me and my social hours w/ friends the past few weeks Really enjoyed everything, from the music to the actors to the cinematography..I mean it as a whole was amazingly well done, and entertaining whilst making me reflect on a lot. That being said just had one nagging question...[SPOILER]Did dude kill himself by just cutting his wrist?? And NOT pulling a full seppuku?? Wada Pu'SAY! But on the other hand they never have a dude ready to decapitate you after u disembowel urself like in Oldn days bushido. But, whadu gonna do? these westernized "samurai"...*sigh* ... ⚔ 🏯 (For real though, Kick F'n Ass from the start to finish!)

The reality of the BMF saga playing out is much less heroic and badass and more ridiculous and dumbass than anything, not to hate I can't stand everyone's negative comments on the net 247 but the last thing we need is more BS gangster pop culture to trick our youth into thinking this is it, even the reality of actual street culture and the "the game" is one of desperation, manipulation and taking advatage of your own people's misery to make it out of a oppresive construct created to keep lower class/races/so-called unwanted people's down, and it is a vicious cycle. Perpetuating this myth of it being courageous and noble much less glamorous or romantic is been happening long enough and it is disgusting. It's like u think this is cool ? then you must look at the ugliness of addiction and welcome that into your life too, or if you think pimping is cool? then along with the ugliness of abuse underage traficking and violence is hand and hand. Their is no fence walking anymore , be about something real not about what you are told is real by these fake-ass shows and media. YOUR life is the real story not these actors and songs. Their pretending for a living the actual criminals can't sing rap and film their crimes or they are locked up quickly for doing self snitching, which is a perfect point about why this whole street life media is a ugly joke. Don't lookup to these movies because the real hero of your story is you and no actor or rapper gives a sh*t about you or is their in the end only family and friends if your lucky enough to be loved by someone. That's what a man a real badass does, takes care of his own and fights for the ones who are too young old or weak to protect themselves. Love those who love you back, and believe me, "the game" the gang the cops the streets the pimps the hoes, etc. don't love you.

I still on occasion think ''Luke'' when i see Bruce,
as a young gurl, swedish tv didnt offer a lot of excitement,
but ''How the West Was Won'' or The Macahans was very popular here,
young girls hearts went pidder/padder for Bruce,
totally loved Tron (Tron 2 not so much)

not my favorite actor but plays in some good films and recently saw him Road House which I didn't even know was a remake, but folks do check it out, great cast and if your fan of Jake, you'll love him in that.

Box Bruceleitner is every bit as good as Eck Aaronhart.

Come on, the guy did Tron, a rather dandy fine film that was mucho innovative when it was made. And then, and then, and then he even went on to do Uprising, so neener neener to anyone who didn't. Nya.

Eck Aaronhart is every bit as good as Box Bruceleitner. Currently watching him with dearly departed Brittany Murphy in Neverwas, but would have to say my personal favs are Thank You For Not Smoking & Love Happens.

I really like the movies I've seen Millie in so far,
looking very promesing for future movies/shows

Bruce Boxleitner is a marvelous actor. It is sad he didn't appear more in Cedar Cove. Would have been great if he was a main cast in that series.
I love him in the Matchmaker Mysteries even though it was a supporting role.
Personally he is up there with all the great actors of his time!!

Mr Eckhart done a great hat-trick with "Muzzle", "Rumble through the Dark" and "The Bricklayer" that amazed me. This is a lot of good work since 2022, along with the series and the rest of the works. My compliments. I haven't watched yet the series and "Pantheon" but I am amazed pleasantly from the three works I have mentioned. ... The camera loves him in action scenes and he looks great beating and getting beaten in such ways I hope he won't get a professional deviance towards violence (just joking). Furthermore since the Oscars going to people not doing so much work (joking again).
