The Gilded Age: Series 2

Not as good as Series 1

(Edit) 10/11/2024

Watched the first 2 episodes & must say I'm not impressed so far. Much too slow, no intrigue and nothing to hold my attention.

Really enjoyed the first series and could'nt wait for the next to come round to the UK. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement.

Sending back the disc & moving on to something else. Maybe I'll come back to it in time, maybe I won't bother !

Funny Cow

Peake deserves an award

(Edit) 24/06/2024

Agree with other review, Peake is amazing. Sad but funny portrayal of a northern lass growing up and her mishap relationships with men,

which more times than not turn to violence. She is probably one of many who crave love but get an abusive partner instead.

Good watch in my opinion.

The Station Agent

Loved this movie !

(Edit) 16/05/2024

Slow starter but quite complex story about 3 misfits from different walks of life. Watched twice within days of receiving as liked very much.

If you don't mind a ''slow burn'' give this one a try. Given 5 stars as laugh out loud humour in places and good storyline.

Forsaken

Good western

(Edit) 30/04/2024

Half way through decided I'd seen this movie before but enjoyed it nonetheless. Good acting from the Sutherlands although Demi Moore made

a weak appearance. Good storyline with gripping action. Good entertainment.

In the Loop

Not for me

(Edit) 18/04/2024

Political satire but quite believable. Constant swearing ruined this movie for me and would have turned it off after 20 minutes.

Husband was quite taken with it so had to endure 90 minutes of rubbish. Each to their own !

Quigley Down Under

Love Tom Selleck !

(Edit) 05/03/2024

Not a new movie but enjoyed it nonetheless. Good storyline with a good mix of actors with the right amount of

action & adventure in the dramatic Australian outback. Try it.

Crimes of the Future

Boring & slow

(Edit) 19/02/2024

Started watching but gave up after 20 mins. Not for me as couldn't make head or tail of it, maybe I'm not suited to Sci- Fi.

Actors not known and 10 mins in with quite a horrific scene involving a child. Should have watched the trailer first !

The Ice Road

Really enjoyed this movie

(Edit) 09/02/2024

Fan of Liam Neeson and wasn't disappointed. Action packed from the offset & keeps you on the edge of your seat. Good cast &

storyline. Enjoyed it.

Book Club: The Next Chapter

Clean the oven instead !

(Edit) 02/02/2024

Boring and slow to sum up. Like all the well established actors who should know better with overacting by all. Diane Keaton swanning around

in gear from her Manhattan era with Woody Allen, Jane Fonda strutting her stuff supposedly taking the lead but getting nowhere. Did'nt find it entertaining at

all and would rather have spent 90 productive minutes cleaning the oven !

Mick Fleetwood and Friends Celebrate the Music of Peter Green

The Best live performance

(Edit) 02/02/2024

Saw this last year and have watched it regularly ever since. To my mind THE BEST performance by this group of musicians

which are wide & varied with superb action from Mick Fleetwood. Featuring music from original Fleetwood Mac this music will keep your toes tapping

throughout. I would give it 10 stars if I could ! Highly recommend.

The Miracle Club

Lovely

(Edit) 23/01/2024

Realistic storyline of life in Ireland with experienced cast. Ideal chilling out movie with a few laughs along the way.

Enjoyed, but would'nt set the world on fire.

Nightmare Alley

Undecided about this one

(Edit) 15/12/2023

Quite a difficult film to review. Good cast & the story plodded along somewhat but found it far too long and would have preferred

a more condensed version to keep up the interest. Movie shot in Buffalo N.Y. and the Art Deco Town Hall stole the show as far as I'm

concerned, the movie was just a carrier !

Nothing Like a Dame

Documentary really - not a movie

(Edit) 20/10/2023

This is a gathering of like minded Oscar winners who have gathered for a nostalgic chat. Funny at times but after an hour I turned off.

If you like these actors & interested in their 'history of life' this will be right up your street.

Romance and Cigarettes

Quirky Musical

(Edit) 17/10/2023

Really got into this movie. Good cast & storyline. Never seen Kate Winslet typecast as a singing tart but she's game for anything - and so young !

Appreciate not everyone's cup of tea but it was worth 4 stars to me.

Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.

Wonderful for teens !

(Edit) 09/10/2023

This movie is a very watchable teen movie, especially for girls. It outlines all aspects of growing up,

street cred and the changes of the human body during 'teen years'. Very funny in places & informative

with a good storyline. Sadly, had nothing like this when I was growing up !
