Film Reviews by TH

This film felt like it didnt know what it wanted to be. There was real potential for this to be an interesting film and I liked the dark horror elements but it kind of held back from being a superhero film and held back on horror and clearly held back on likeable characters.

The ingredients are there and hopefully someone can revive this idea and make it 100 times better.

Growing up I loved the witches story and the original film will hold a fond memory being filmed in my town. Angelica Houston is perfect as the high witch and Rowan Atkinson brought the role to life.

This remake should of been great but it's well... very dull.

The special effects arent the greatest and ruins some of the more iconic scenes.

Anne Hathaway is totally miscast and over acts throughout. Stanley Tucci is wasted and Octavia Spencer looks like she is running through the motions. The casting of young boy who looks gormless throughout and acts how most people will be reacting when watching this remake.

Just watch the original and forget this film completely.

The story of pinocchio follows similar path to the story we all know. This is an italian made film with I assume dubbing voices. The film makes a good bold attempt at something a bit different but it all feels rather cheap and disturbing costumes. Also the dubbing doesnt help and wonder if it would of been better with subtitles instead.

That being said I think I may keep to the disney version of the film or read the original story.

Day Lewis is a revelation in the lead role and the story is hard hitting. This will stay with you after the credit roles on misjustice and the attempts society can go to in order to cover up their own crimes.

This was a rather dull low budget film. The acting was ok at best and the script wasnt much better.

Its bascially involves a rather dull uninteresting guy who thinks hes been stalked and then from the 70 minutes mark goes into gore mode and by the end you think what was the point.

Crispin Glover needs to get better film roles than this.

Thunder road was quite a hidden gem but sadly this film had potential but never really knew whether it was going for b movie/comedy horror style. Jim Cummings has a very strange style of acting that almost feels like a bit of will ferrell/jim Carey but played really serious.

Overall it's alright to watch once.

So this isnt an awful film but it feels like someone has watched a load of action movie classics and thought I will give it a go. Cliche after cliche and some strange moments like bad guys who feel like they have been recruited from a will Ferrell movie.

Shame to see Ryan Phillippe resort to this type of b movie.

The first episode is a bit ropey and features some iffy script writing and stilted acting.

Luckily this is corrected in the second episode and from then on really picks up.

Some bits are rather far fetched and the constant graphic violence begs down some of the earlier episodes but luckily from the half way point the show finds its direction and focuses more on the story.

Look forward to series 2

I was interested to find out more about Billie Holiday and found this to be fairly interesting. Will this go down as a classic possibly not but anyone interested in a musical icon and music history will enjoy this.

Passable sunday afternoon film.

The acting is fine and the story is slightly predictable but does the job.

Wouldnt watch again but wasnt that bad.

2 out of 5 is enough.

It's alright. Fairly average film but like the idea of a tough santa. The acting is decent but feels at time a bit too silly to take serious. One time watch from me.

This film had such a rave review that my expectations were high but it fell short for me. There is no denying that this is a well acted and at times engaging but as a whole it didnt feel to me to tread any new grounds. Wallace and Scanlen are really engaging in the lead roles but I felt like the parents were fairly cold throughout with little personality. The ending is really moving but I guess I was just hoping for something more.

This was a decent if unremarkable film. Jeff Bridges is great in the lead role and is the best thing about the film along with the music. For me the film itself didnt break new boundaries and felt a bit predictable in places. However it's not bad and is worth a watch just for a great JB performance.

An interesting liverpool documentary and nothing more. A lot of this was nothing new but enjoyed the Klopp interviews and reliving the moments.

Even if you arent a fan it's a decent enough watch.

I'm a fan of Billy but this felt rather flat. The trip was rather uninspiring and I felt like it became background noise rather than an interesting road trip. Shame
