Murder on the Orient Express (1974)
Rubbish
After watching this and the modern version and the television series can safely say this is the worse
I don't normally like remakes of classic films but can't believe this is deemed a classic
So many people say this is the definitive film but cannot see it. Assume scores were based on no other film to compare with
All of this is basically finney
He is an awful poirot
Walks around like a deformed goblin with the worse accent ever. Over acting isn't helping the situation either
The star studded cast really doesn't make the film either. Found the acting etc in the new version better and characters far more convincing.
Jimmy Savile: A British Horror Story (2022)
To much missing
The first episode though long did very much deal with the man and what his outside persona was
Zany odd extrovert
Doing charity work. Stoke Mandoville would not be the place it is without him.
That's the terrible irony that starts to give u the idea that he either did this to cover his perversion or was his way out of guilt.
2nd programme didn't seem to really go into his perversions and victims. The ones interviewed are so brave to do it but there story must be told. Upsetting as it was think more time given to them.
Didn't really go into what historical allergations were levelled
At him in past.
Really should have got the police bbc to express
Opinion
Ian hyslop didn't like his jokes
And frankly looked appalled on have I got news for
You. He didn't really say if he heard the rumours before that.
Vile
Man who never got
His just desserts.
Midway (2019)
Bad acting bad cgi
Battle scenes were almost like a video game. Not realistic.
The story of midway is an epic battle that potentially could have been a loss. The 1976 film least portrays this.
Found acting very poor and main character as a brash cocky person dire.
Forgets to mention the code breaker being sacked for what he did at end of film
As always To the men who fought in the battle
There bravery and sacrifice should be remembered.
Hunting Hitler (2015)
Hitler dies in bunker but was it suicide
Lot of the people in the bunker had very conflicting stories about hitlers death. I think this and the soviet unions secrecy etc did cause problems
Personally I think hitler was murdered as the conflicting information from the people who went into the room for the bodies doesn't add up.
Murdered to allow the breakout that then happened of other people in bunker to escape.
I think you have to realise that a lot of what they find is not about hitler but about possible
escape routes.
Also we know South America and Argentina were not adverse to having Germans living there and they did get there somehow after the war
Glad s rambam wasn't in all
Shows as he was so bad.
Paul (2011)
Better than thought
Firstly people giving low scores seem to be mainly Christian's and other folk who are quite happy for
Comedy but not not on these subjects.
Shame
Think this was the better of all
There movies. So what alien is rude etc. But typical
Hollywood would have them prim and proper or they will eat you alive.
Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Drumhead (1991)
One of the best
One of the best episodes of thg
Jean Simmons masteclass
It's very apt now to heed the message in the program
People being accused on social media and judged guilty and having to prove innocence rather than other way around.
Silence seen as guilt rather than any other reason.
Star Trek: The Next Generation: The Best of Both Worlds: Part 2 (1990)
Sorry ending ruined it all
Great storyline etc would be a 10
But the way Borg was defeated just doesn't make sense to me
Sleep to
Self destruct.
Banshee (2013)
Hooked from 1st episode
What a great show to watch
Has it all
Job was a great character and scene stealer
Was good that they limited it to just 4 seasons rather than try and endlessly put bad seasons in.
CI5: The New Professionals (1998)
Could have been so much better
The original professionals was good. Characters and stories etc
This is just bad
The characters are just to wooden. There as stiff as can be. Edward Woodward obviously just wanted some money.
Catering to American audience no doubt by having an American actor but just doesn't work or both lead actors are useless
Strike back much better series and mix.
The Blacklist: The Cyranoid (No. 35) (2021)
Daft
Oh this keen business is getting so stupid
Ruined what was once a good show.
How many more episodes of this
I.
Bodyline (1984)
Aussie whinging to this day.
Let's be very honest here
Leg theory at the time was an allowed method of bowling. There was no cheating.
Bradman was the finest batsman ever. Sorry tendulker. England came up with a plan to beat the man. Using some of the best fast bowlers ever they made use of leg theory.
Aussies lost. Should be end of story
At time it was deemed unsporting which just goes to show how effective it worked. Australia didn't employ it as they just didn't have the bowlers to do this.
The serious injury occurred during normal field positions but changed to add drama.
The saddest thing was that larwood took the blame for this and never played test cricket.
American History X (1998)
Outstanding film
What a great movie
A subject that is hard to watch and relevant even today
Shows never to late to
Change and all sorts of people can.
The now and the future are not the past so move on to better things
Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn (2020)
Really dire
Unfunny
Boring in places.
Forgetful performances of most of the characters.
Really really poor.
One for the chicks but most will feel written
So badly that must be a mans revenge.
Dc get a bloody grip
The Blacklist: Roanoke (No. 139) (2020)
Show has lost its way and all due to one thing. Keen
Got hooked on this with the first episode
Well written unique show
Spader outstanding
The show has been eroded by the keen story lines
Done to death and is not interesting anymore
Go back to what people like best on
This show.
Either kill her off ASAP or get the writers to make
It more interesting.
Enterprise: Cogenitor (2003)
Another trip-astrophe
Trip proving again what a liability he is.
Chief engineer should be locked in engineer room
Not sure why he is so popular
Dredd (2012)
Highly entertaining and violent film
What a great adaptation of the comic book
Karl urban is great dredd. Can't believe no sequel yet
The Strange World of Planet X (1958)
Giant pile of insect droppings
This is low budget sci fi
Very bad in every way. The insects acted better than the people :-)
Léon (1994)
Brilliant film
One of my favourite films of all time.
Story is great and the acting is second to none.
Would recommend this to anyone.
In the Line of Fire (1993)
Enjoyable tale
A good film. Clint his usual Dirty Harry type personality. John malkovich is very good you can see why good choice for con air.
Rene Russo very underrated actress.
The Untouchables (1987)
Good mobster film
A very good mobster film.
Acting was a highlight and Sean Connery best performance.
Terminator Salvation (2009)
Don't see the hype.
Didn't really enjoy this film at all
I don't know why so many people thought it was good
Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
Enjoyable film
I enjoyed the film.
The storyline was well put together as well.
Groundhog Day for the military
Anthropoid (2016)
Good remake of a desperate struggle
Another good true film.
Like the 70s film operation daybreak tells
The story of the killing of heydrich
Brave men and women
The cost of resistance in some of the invaded countries was high.
Gammera the Invincible (1966)
Pretty dire
Have to say I thought this was pretty dire.
I know some of the Godzilla films are old and cheesy but this was pretty stale
I have heard there are sequels.
Brian donlevy seems to be drunk all of his scenes.
Guess hard time
Quatermass 2 (1957)
Great British sci fi
Quatermass 2 is another classic
Not as good as the 1st film but good.
