  • Klaus

    Klaus 2019

    ★★ Watched by Tom 19 Dec 2019

    The animation is done beautifully and I give it credit for some originality but honestly I found it quite boring. The story is basic and quite drawn out, I didn't like any of the characters and it was lacking that magical something.

  • 6 Underground

    6 Underground 2019

    ★★ Watched by Tom 14 Dec 2019

    A promising start with plenty of action, but the story is all over the place, the jokes are stupid and the editing may give you a headache.

  • Deck the Halls

    Deck the Halls 2006

    ★★ Watched by Tom 03 Dec 2019

    Mildly amusing for the first part of the film. Then the characters really start to get annyoying, the battle between the two is stupidly over the top and the laughs dry up completely. 

    Won't be watching this one again.

  • Cold Pursuit

    Cold Pursuit 2019

    ★★ Watched by Tom 23 Jul 2019

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    The characters and humour just left me shaking my head. The action is mostly off screen with a name coming up every time someone dies.

    Laura Dern disappears after 20 minutes and Neeson starts hanging around with the villains kid. Then you get gang wars and characters talking at length about irrelevant shit.

    I don't know how I sat through this for two hours because it was tedious and boring. I liked the location and the set up for a basic revenge flick was there but this just goes completely off track.

    I'm sure this is a parody.

  • Raw Deal

    Raw Deal 1986

    ★★ Watched by Tom 06 Apr 2019

    Pretty bad film but 2 stars because Arnie calls himself Joseph Pussy Brenner and shoots quite a lot of dudes.

  • Halloween II

    Halloween II 2009

    ★★ Watched by Tom 14 Mar 2019

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    Love the 2007 film and this one starts good but once we see it's just a dream it goes downhill with the occasional good kill.

  • Book Club

    Book Club 2018

    ★★ Watched by Tom 14 Feb 2019

    Hardly any laughs to be had and none of the characters were interesting enough to really care about their individual stories. Watchable but definitely a missed opportunity, for me anyway.

  • Happy New Year, Colin Burstead

    Happy New Year, Colin Burstead 2018

    ★★ Watched by Tom 31 Dec 2018

    Good cast but there's so many characters and there's nothing particularly memorable happening or being explored at any length so in the end it left no impression.
