Cop vs. Killer (2023)
Fun indie action film
Being a fan of Master Ken, it was great seeing Mathew Page in a serious role. Was quite impressed with the guy's acting range. The movie does not try to push any other message, it's just tells the story of man trying to clear his name and protect his family. A great action film to watch on movie night (provided your kids are old enough). It has some funny moments that brighten the darker elements and the action scenes for a low budget movie were better than I expected. Not a perfect film, but fun nonetheless. The only thing Sheriff Abrams forgot to do is restomp that groin. Might have to trade in his black belt for a pink belt.
How I Met Your Mother (2005)
Will go down as classic
HIMYM is one of the better sitcoms. It's funny, goofy with heartwarming moments. These elements are balanced so the show never feels corny.
The writers do a great job of making the banter between the group feel natural with certain quips & jokes reoccurring. This helps draw in the audience, making the viewers feel like they're part of the gang.
One recommendation, is to watch the alternate ending not the one which was aired. The pay off is much greater with the alternate ending.
All in all, HIMYM is a solid 10. It's refreshing to watch a show that is light hearted and is not trying to push any message.
Ten Pound Poms (2023)
Missed the mark
The first episode starts very well then it takes a nose dive. The cinematography and acting is superb, it is let down by a very weak script. Other reviews call it 'soap opera' drama and I tend to agree.
The writers had an amazing opportunity here to write a period drama delving in to the issues of the time. Instead we get a bloated over dramatic 'modern show' with nothing new.
If this is renewed for a 2nd season. I hope they tighten up the story focus on fewer characters giving the audience a chance to become invested. And for god sake leave the modern drama tropes behind. There is reality tv for that.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: A Quality of Mercy (2022)
Amazing
I have not liked any nu-trek until Strange New Worlds. This is one of the best episodes of Star Trek. I never thought I would say about Kurtzman Trek. I hope they continue down the path they've taken Strange New Worlds.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022)
A step in the right direction
3 episodes in, not the best but a step in the right direction. At least now it feels and looks like Star Trek. I hope this follows a similar trajectory to Enterprise.
The Mask (1994)
Gets better with age
We saw this as a family when I was kid. It's was the first time I experienced an entire cinema laughing uncontrollably,m. This movie is just as funny as it was back in 1994.
Vikings (2013)
Solid 7
Seasons 1 - 4 are a straight 10! Amazing writing, masterfully developed and orchestrated characters - it was a pleasure to watch. Season 5 & 6 this show takes a nose dive and does not recover. Season 5 & 6 feels more like a bad spin off show than a continuation of the story.
My advice is to stop watching after season 4.
The King of Staten Island (2020)
Just a solid move
Worth the watch. Bill Bur was a better actor than I expected.
Gargoyles (1994)
When cartoons were awesome
Probably the best cartoon Disney ever made or will make.
Occupation: Rainfall (2020)
Enjoy the ride
Great film! Australian cinema has come along way and this film is a great example of that.
History of Swear Words (2021)
Horrible execution
Nicholas Cage good, the academics good all the 'comedians' horrible!
Good concept but filled with too many unfunny commentators.
