Palm Trees and Power Lines (2022)
Some parts are hard hitting.. .
Hard to watch in some parts. Story of an older man 34 seducing a 17 year old young girl. From the start I could tell he was grooming her for more sinister reasons.....she finds herself flattered by his attention. Her mother is too busy with her own numerous boyfriends and her friends are ignorant to her needs . He holds her up on a pedestal and tells her she is beautiful and smart all the while with plans to sell her to men. She is vunerable and wanting the affection and attention. The waitress in the cafe could of rang the police especially since she stated he had brought numerous young girls there.
Can You See Us? (2022)
Amazing film
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie even though it made me cry a lot. There are highs and lows . There are beautiful people and also horrible people.......and what an amazing actor that played little Joseph . I didn't know at the time it was a young girl . I hope to see her in more films. It was terrific to see the film was made in Africa without all the Hollywood hype and crap . Shows the best side of human nature and the worse. Joseph's mother was a true fighter for her little boy .....and his dad Simon and aunty Brenda. Kennedy didn't deserve Joseph's forgiveness.....but at the end of the day Joseph needed to live without hate in his heart. This is a truly inspiring movie. I loved it .
Moon Rock for Monday (2020)
Great flick.
Great flick absolutely loved it. Acting was superb and the scenery of outback Australia. Was beautiful. Have some tissues ready . Highly recommended this movie.
Gully (2019)
Not sure why all the bad reviews.
I thought it was a good movie and the acting was also good. It jumped around a little but that's because it had to so it could give you the back story of each character in the movie. Amber heard was in it and as much as I don't like her she played a surprisingly good role. I really like John Corbett but I didn't like the character he played in this as he was a pedophile. I can't for the life of me see him as a pedophile. Don't believe all the bad reviews.
Candy (2006)
Made me cry
I loved this movie which is a strange thing to say when it's about two people in love with a heroin addiction. Really well acted and a touching love story with a sad story of addiction. Made me cry a few times . It was a good portrayal of lives on a decline due to the drug lifestyle. Geoffrey Rush also played a great role . I don't want to say too much except watch it with an open mind.
A Million Little Pieces (2018)
I really liked this movie .
Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The acting was superb who doesn't like Billy Bob , Juliette Lewis , Ryan Hurst and Charlie Hunnan? A heartbreaking portrayal of a alcoholic drug addicted young man at the edge of death. Not sure why so many bad reviews. It really captured my attention and my heart. Maybe people don't like it because they can't relate. I found myself reflecting on my own troublesome life and self destructing behaviour . I have just ordered the book also.
Girl (2020)
It's not that bad.
Not sure why all the negative reviews. The acting is acceptable and I like Micky Rourke so I gave it a go. It's an original storyline and Bella Thorne played the girl part well. Give it a go if your not expecting an Oscar winner.
The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021)
Entertaining
Jessica Chastain is amazing as Tammy Faye . She is the whole reason I kept watching the movie. The story is interesting and eye opening and also a little sad. Makes you look at religious fanaticism differently.
The Lost Daughter (2021)
Loved it
I really loved this movie and the acting is superb . I highly recommend it but I have to add that the ending disappointed me immensely. What was an engrossing story line left me wanting more. I love Elana Ferrante's my brilliant friend quadriligy and couldn't wait to see this movie. All the different layers were done brilliantly.
The Power of the Dog (2021)
Brilliant
I loved this film it is brilliant. Amazing cinematography and acting. I was enthralled. I don't understand all the bad reviews. I was mesmerised . You have to really listen and watch to catch all the underlaying messages and subtleties . I could definitely have seen Mathew McConaughey in the role of Phil . Highly recommend for people that like to watch deep and meaningful films.
Alone: Triumph (2015)
Addicted
I am addicted to this show . Watch it it's enthralling. Man trying to survive on their own in the wilderness . Hunting for food surviving on next to nothing to try and last the longest to win $500,000.
Alone (2015)
Love it
I really like this show. It teaches survival tequniques and shows how truly resilient people can be in extreme circumstances. No camera crew involved just a little hand held camera.
Naked and Afraid (2013)
Weird
I don't know why they are naked when they blur everything anyway. Just give them some clothes and then you don't have to blur. It's a bit of a repetitive show and some people just whinge the whole time.
L'amica geniale: La fata blu (2020)
Brilliant
I have read all four books and I have to say they are brilliant. I can't wait for the third and fourth season . I really hope they make them. The actors are amazing and the story lines are engrossing.
Great White (2021)
Was really into it......
Until the last 20 min or so when it got ridiculous. I was really disappointed by the last bit of the movie. People swimming under water without oxygen for so long is truly absurd. Also a 5 metre Great White swimming at you under water and old mate stabbing it in the brain repeatedly ..... OMFG Seriously?
Buoyancy (2019)
Raw
I felt really sorry not only for the slaves/prisoners but also for all the fish 🐟 that died. It upset me immensely.....no wonder our Oceans are fished out.
Ready or Not (2019)
Entertaining
Samara Weaving did an awesome job in this movie. Really great acting and quite amusing. I enjoyed it and had a few laughs. Lots of blood and gore just the way I like it.
Just Mercy (2019)
Uncomfortable viewing
Just started watching this movie and 20 minutes in I already feel uncomfortable with the racism. I am going to watch the whole movie though as it has an important message to all. Very good acting and a powerful
true story.
Waves (2019)
Amazing
Just watched this and I'm still crying.... don't miss.
Tschick (2016)
Loved it
I loved it the acting was fantastic. Two 14 year old boys steal a Lada and take a road trip. Many adventures and fun along the way. Watch it if you don't mind subtitles.
Capharnaüm (2018)
Brave
One of the best movies I have ever watched. The acting is superb and the story is heartbreaking. This is all you need to know ....now watch it.
Adú (2020)
Loved it
Awesome movie amazing acting by the little boy that plays Adu. I loved it I cried and I laughed. Don't miss this flick 🙂
Loving Pablo (2017)
Exciting
I give it an 8 just for Penelope Cruz's acting alone. Javier Bardem is also a very convincing Escobar....enjoy
Ben Fogle: New Lives in the Wild (2013)
My favourite show
Best show on TV hands down. Watch it Ben is the nicest bloke and I am so jealous I can't live like some of these people ......on my own with my dogs away from all society and humans. I like to lose myself in their World with Ben.
Breakthrough (2019)
Get a box of tissues.
Amazing movie made me laugh and made me cry. Brilliant acting by Chrissy Metz as the mother of John . All round great movie whether you believe in God or not .....it's a must see. I'm still crying .....
