The Fugitive

This is a good movie

(Edit) 26/01/2021

Wondered how Harrison Ford would fare with this iconic 60's series which is currently running on Freeview. - in black & white.

Different slant on the original story line but nonetheless a good portrayal of Richard Kimble running from the law and finds the

perpetrator himself, finally clearing his name. Good, believable and lots of action.

The Assistant

Not my cup of tea

(Edit) 26/12/2020

Watched all this movie wondering when the action was about to start - it did'nt.

It is a portrayal of a young woman starting out in her place of work with minimal mundane and monotonous tasks and you wonder why she just does'nt walk out and get herself a better job. We've all had jobs we wish we hadn't accepted and suffer them until we finally achieve something better, as we need the income.

She is basically a dogsbody working with 2 creepy colleagues who belittle and take advantage of her, along with an invisible boss who F.s and blinds at her and takes sexual advantage of young females. Though you don't actually see this.

As I've said, not my sort of movie.

Love Sarah

Not worth 3 stars really

(Edit) 30/11/2020

Easy movie to watch but quite uneventful and a bit boring really, meaning you could easily fall asleep whilst watching this.

Shame as good cast but needed a bit of a spark/action somewhere along the line to keep interest up.

Better movies than this one to pass away 90 minutes !

Little Women

It was ok

(Edit) 09/11/2020

Thought this movie would be better to be honest. Good performance from 'Jo March' who carried the story forward.

Mediocre review for a mediocre movie.

Ice Age: Collision Course

Great for kids & adults alike

(Edit) 25/09/2020

As with all Ice Age movies this one won't let you down. Usual cast of characters and a whole lot fun. Good family entertainment in my opinion.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

Very watchable

(Edit) 15/09/2020

As with all the other Star Wars movies this one doesn't disappoint. Full of action and a great family film.

Shoplifters

Desperate stakes

(Edit) 09/09/2020

Slow moving portrayal of a close Chinese family living on the edge by stealing most of their daily needs. Quite poignant and moving

as they are generous where it matters most. Enjoyed this movie if only to see how other nationalities live their lives with only the basic essentials.

The County

Love it or loathe it

(Edit) 02/09/2020

Wasn't sure about this movie but glad I stuck with it. Bit slow in parts but storyline and acting good. Determined lead which dominated

the story with a no guess ending. Quite watchable and passed the time.

Kursk: The Last Mission

Good watch

(Edit) 25/08/2020

Wasn't sure about this movie but got into it quite quickly. Good storyline and acting by all and certainly keeps your interest. But politically damming in my opinion.

Blue in the Face

Acquired taste

(Edit) 12/08/2020

Did watch the trailer and as set in Brooklyn ordered this disc. Whole movie revolves around a Tobacconist shop which has

been in the street forever and is about the residents past and present. Good acting from all parties and cameo with Madonna singing a telegram

tho' you wouldn't know it ! If you like lots of chatter and laughter - watch this.

Dallas Buyers Club

This a good movie

(Edit) 28/07/2020

Oscar winning performance from Matthew and although AIDS being a serious subject some humour to lighten the story. Found it held my interest for the full 2 hours. Would recommend.

Knives Out

Good mystery movie

(Edit) 16/06/2020

Found this a regular Miss Marple drama to be honest, good 'whodunit' which keeps you guessing to the last minute.

Strong, famous cast though thought not such a suitable part for Daniel Craig to play. Too many James Bond memories I think to

make him a credible sleuth. Good watching anyway and enjoyed it very much, highly recommended.

A Man Called Ove

Bit of a 'plodder' movie

(Edit) 11/06/2020

Good storyline and acting by main lead but, in my opinion, slooooow moving. Did'nt realise it had subtitles but not a problem. Halfway through this film found it did not didn't capture my interest enough to warrant watching the full movie. Agree with previous reviewers regarding storyline history.

Rory's Way

Liked this very much

(Edit) 03/06/2020

Good storyline with a good cast and easy watching on a Sunday night. Both my husband and I (both 60 + year olds) thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ordeal by Innocence

This is good

(Edit) 12/05/2020

Didn't realise this was in 3 parts but good watching anyway. Typical Agatha Christy whodunit which left it to the last minute to reveal who the murderer was. Good acting throughout by all players.
