wearysmith Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 It's that time again..... Here's one I watch every year; 'Chasing Christmas'. Some of you will have seen it. Contains one of my favourite lines. A distraught Ghost Of Christmas Past (Leslie Jordan) is having an existential breakdown. His mark, the world-weary Tom Arnold, is having none of the Dickens crap he’s being fed. Jordan flips out. Arnold, taking pity, looks at him and says “Did you forget to take your meds...?”. Makes me laugh every time. You’ll (Yule?) find it easily enough on one of the seasonal Sky channels. Sadly, due to incredibly poor writing, poor Tom doesn’t get the girl in the end. Everyone deserves Andrea Roth after a bad day . For this glaring piece of insanity, I give it only 8/10. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uqlP2TL1UV0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wearysmith Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Bewitched. And it was AWFUL. I know I'm a tad late to the party on this one. I avoided it like the plague at the time as I can't stand Will Ferrell. Spotted it was on NETFLIX and there was nothing else on so..... Bad bad move. Grievous error. I should have kept on flicking. What was Kidman thinking about, getting involved with this dross? Never say never, but I'm fairly convinced it'll never darken my screen again. Quality and script, a zero. Gets a 9 for Kidman's legs 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoilhat Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Enola Homes. Not bad. It’s got a good enough period feel but it’s just a vehicle for Millie Bobby Brown, who is a very good young actress but not enough to carry the rest of them, who are frankly wasted.

Yeah, the series was a big hit when I was a nipper. We loved it. Some things just shouldn’t be touched. Not everything needs reinventing. That said, Kidman could have been a marvellous Samantha but it needed a far better script and a leading actor that isn’t like fingernails down a blackboard.

Funky_Gibbon Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Ashfall - 7/10 Korean disaster/action popcorn fodder about a volcano that erupts on the China/North Korea border that causes massive earthquakes throughout the Korean peninsula. Scientists tell the Government that if the largest magma chamber erupts the earthquakes will levels most of the cities. Maverick scientist guy tell the Korean government that he's been working on a plan to prevent volcanic eruptions, the catch being that it will take a nuclear explosion to work and the only nukes available are in North Korea and they'd need to send a military bomb disposal team into North Korea to steal them. Yes it's a dumb plot and there are many plotholes but it's also entertainingly dumb and the special effects are as good as anything I've seen from Hollywood for this type of film.

If you watch that you'll be hard pressed not to think the American justice system is utterly bonkers. Yes gott ya! But this judges behaviour was absoloutly deprlorable, how ever charges were not brought against him or a retribution attempt from the Black Panther movement didn't happen is beyond me.

Bargepole23 Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 The Nile Hilton Incident, police procedural set in Cairo, Arabic with subtitles, very good. The Connection, set in 1970s Marseille, about a judge fighting drug dealers, French with subtitles, excellent film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched around 30mins of it few months ago and then had enough. Had no clue what was going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
