Velda Wells

8 out of 10. Drama absolutely absorbing, exhilarating, authentic, romantic, political and captivating, all bar the erratic rap type music that intermittently arises, compared to the other orchestral music that supports the production (hence lower scoring). The fast music is not beholden to this feature drama. Simply seems out of place. Watched on Netflix but have to skip the erratic music to enjoy the rest of the drama. This spontaneous music let's down the production. Otherwise a superb narrative, absolutely amazing cast, great cinematography, elegant costumes and authentic make-up. A must watch. Cannot wait for the second instalment of the series.

Absolutely harrowing account of a relationship that spiralled out of control. So frightening to believe a malicious individual could manipulate others with lies, including the police, locals, ambulance drivers, the courts and detective investigators, and almost destroy someone's career and marriage with untruths is scary. Thousands of people have relationships outside of marriage. It doesnt mean it is right. Many factors drive this. But owning up to your failings, while trying to defend yourself with the truth, and trying hard to hold on to your marriage all at the same time, would put anyone under immense pressure to end their life. A truly gripping crime story.

Beautifully bleak and thought-provoking super hero film noir. Slow-burn (hence 4 stars). Provocative and dark. Alternative story to Batman superhero genre. Provides a different perspective from the thoughts of Bruce Wayne and how he fought to become a recognised hero of the people of Gotham. A masterpiece of set, production, costumes and directing. To be appreciated for its sublime approach. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Brutal contest of wit, mind manipulation, psychology, strength and weakness, teamwork, friiendship, decision-making, lie and truth detecting, courage, and determination, and keeping a cool head when everyone is loosing theirs. Closely follows original squid game. Alternative entertainment and very unique. Wonderfully presented, orchestrated, with great sets. Thoroughly enjoyed, even with its very tense moments. I had an inkling who the winner would be, and followed them from about episode 6. Well done! Hmm, another season? What this space.

I'm still in love with my first love. Head over heels in love at 18. I'm now 54. We both took very different paths. I've been in contact with him recently and we are probably such different people now. But he is my first love and nothing compares. I have such fond memories. I was devastated at our parting. I've still kept his letters. Took me two years to get over him, but always thinking of him. Such a heartbreaking story. So beautifully written, produced and directed and wonderful setfing. A real tear jerker. Highly recommend.

An underrated dystopian, gun/sword fighting 1984 meets The Matrix movie. Outstanding performance by Christian Bale and great supporting actors. Draws you in with great depth and feeling. Highly recommend, even if 20 years old. Superb.

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Kept me on the edge of my seat in all three series. Action, drama, romance, adventure, mystery, murders, deceit, lies and loss, plus much more. Outer Banks has energy in abundance. Fast-paced, vehicle chases on land and sea. Very intense, great storytelling, and superb cast of up-and-coming actors. A few times it slowed down, but I was hooked. OK, they could have skipped some of the romance, as at time detracted from the characters adventure, but it built on the characters persona, strengths, weakness etc. It added depth. Wonderfully narrated by lead actor - although all of them deserve equally great praise for their portrayals of the characters which they did with conviction. All is not what it seems, red herrings and twists and turns. Sadly I binged on all three series. Highly recommend. Just awesome.

Clever miss direction. Great twist at the end. I had an feeling. Wonderful sci-fi. Really felt for Android 2. Clever storyline. Scores high along with other movies of same genre, I Robot, Mother and Alita. Excellent.

Another superb film by Luc Besson. Great cast of convincing actors. Amazing storyline. Espionage spy thriller with many twists, turns and rewinds. Totally engrossed. Superb ending.
