Movies/Films/TV - Opinions

I'm watching three series at the moment which I'm really enjoying...

"Midnight Mass" and "American Primeval" on Netflix. I find both great, horror series MM initially quite slow but building up nicely, and AP, a really brutal and realistic look at the old west.
Also "Carrie" on Amazon which has been unfavourably compared to the 1976 movie, but which I think stands up very well on its own.

I thought so too.

I thought the scene with Paul dancing inside the container was very entertaining, good black humour.

For a second, I was about to be pissed off if they killed Paul. Entertaining character

The mongoose with Liam Neeson.

Bang average at best, nothing to get excited about. You've seen the story done a thousand times and quite a few versions of it are much better. Not an awful film but you do sort of wonder why they bothered.

If you like car chases then there's worse ways of spending an hour and a half or so.

New series of Black Doves on Netflix

Quite enjoyable so far

Godzilla minus Zero.
Great monster movie which follows on from the events of the previous one. It’s more focussed on the new threat of King ghidora so a good portion of the film is without Godzilla. But when he does turn up it’s worth the wait. As with the first one there’s some emotional scenes which deal with loss and the effects of ww2. And some harrowing scenes involving the events of Hiroshima. It could have benefitted from another 30mins of running time as there’s some great ideas that aren’t fully explored but it’s still well worth 2 hours of your time.

Loved it! Got to see it in the IMAX and my word the sound was insane when Ghidora turned up at the start and the fighter plane sequence was sublime! I love how much this series of work concentrates on the human elements and how these monsters really affect their lives. I know the Hollywood ones have tried but I've never felt that emotion from them. This really felt like a sequel to Nolan's Oppenheimer.

Binge watched limited series Below on Netflix.   Set in Newfoundland ( unusual)

Initially thought it was pretty good, but, thinking back a couple of days later, it had a very 'woke' message, and episode 5 was just pointless.  So on reflection, a neutral rating from me

I just googled it, looks pretty rank to be honest and based on your review I will probably give it a miss.
