Tonka Truck

Boring and nearly three hours long

I'm giving it just three stars because these two guys were skint and one of them was living in a slum. Yet they didn't take the money. And they spent 24 hours in a house with everything and didn't make the most of it. They should have stuck Bernie in bed. And yes that would mean that the majority of the movie wouldn't be about them dragging him around, but the dragging him around and drawing a lot of attention to themselves was anxiety provoking more than it was funny. Sure we know he's not really dead and that it's slapstick, but taking him out and about was macabre. All I kept thinking about was these to guys in court being asked why they put him in different poses and took his corpse out and played board games with his corpse and sat on the sofa drinking with his corpse.

I'm giving it three stars because I haven't actually watched it. I watched the trailer though and was going to give two stars because the main character keeps a snake in a tank and we are supposed to view her as having compassion.

I love watching movies with Cillian Murphy in , but I am so disappointed that I couldn't even get halfway with this morning's movie. And here's why: The individuals depicted as living within this school are a handful of lowlifes who know right from wrong even if they have mental health conditions. They have total control over their behaviour and have a choice about whether they live life as decent people or keep taking the Mick out of what they have had handed to them. They have made a choice. In society and definitely in the UK people working in a duty of care generally do not practice a duty of care and in fact cross lines and lie and create absolute hells for members of the public. They get together and write sh1tty narratives for members of the public who are elderly or have serious mental health conditions which they themselves managed just fine prior to harassment and sh1tty narratives thrusted upon them by people deliberately employed by the government and people who wouldn't ever get a job in a duty of care or even sweeping roads if our government wasn't targeting individuals who need support. But in this depressing movie the individuals living in the school are making a choice to be the scum of the earth and deliberately not understand how to behave in society. In fact they should get jobs with my social landlords and join in with running my OCD stress and anxiety and trauma into the ground. Which I never would have had if I hadn't been born in the UK and cross the freehold of a social housing doorstep with my little girl. Give them jobs in any government funded sector because they will be in their element. They can do their worst doing unto others trying to have a great life experience. They can get employed doing things the rest of us would get locked up for. I'm really not seeing this movie as some kind of injustice and individuals misunderstood and falling through the net. Or a whole host of caring staff who ACTUALLY practice a duty of care in one place trying to help some misunderstood mental health individuals. NOT BUYING IT. Lots of lowlifes and way too many staff actually giving a fig and for lowlifes. I have actually gotten to the point where not only do I hate British movies and TV shows because they are all depressing and about lowlifes or the complete other end. But I hate the UK and have realised in my fifties that I can look back at things I should have never let go and now realise I should have always hated the UK as it gets excessively worse and the sh1tty government and government funded sectors have stopped trying to hide how much they cross lines under what once was tea, bangers and crumpets.

THERE ARE NO SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW It was a good movie, but I'm disappointed because we see Ethan trying to untie Baron at the beginning of the movie which is exactly what Ethan initially says he tried to do. And the other kid told Ethan to leave him because the train was coming. Then the ending makes zero sense because of Ethan's confession. So this movie is annoying. Which is a shame because the acting was great and throughout it was intense and a great watch. Then that happens and it's like huh? It's almost as if the beginning was one thing, then Ethan's portrayed as a child sycopath which was interesting. Then he's misunderstood and has good reason. Then his explanation ties in with him untying the other kid. Then it looks like the video footage is intended to set Ethan up because the kid in the video was the one who drew the picture of what happened on the railway tracks and he's saying that he tried to untie Baron and we know that's not true. Or maybe the kid in the video and his family are afraid of the corrupt big shots and law enforcement. Then Ethan changes his story. It's almost as if this movie gets so lost that Ethan's final confession is supposed to be a twist, but it's not a twists because it makes no sense and black is not white. It actually made the entire movie a waste of time. It made it a waste of viewers time. So much could have happened in this movie to make it a great movie and more satisfying, but instead the very ending was a depressing let down. We are left feeling totally confused and like the dad was a no hoper after all because nothing ever worked out for him. He doesn't get a break. We all know what the ending should have been. It should have been the one we all thought it was going to be throughout the movie. And sometimes predictable isn't a bad thing. Especially if it makes sense and gives hope and it's a win, win for both the main characters who've never caught a break in their lives. A chance to both experience what each other needs and get it from each other. That's what the ending should have been. Instead the ending made know sense as if the writers and directors couldn't think of anything other than the obvious and they didn't want that. They wanted a twist and something bleak and unsatisfying and mellow dramatic and a downer. Maybe they thought all the chopping and changing was keeping us on our toes , but it wasn't because it was just chopping and changing and there's nothing "wow!" about nonsense. Did we see it coming " duh no!" because black isn't white and just because they chuck in nonsense at the end and we weren't expecting nonsense doesn't make it a wow moment. Also why would a detective stand by and let someone hold a gun to a kids head and terrorise the kid to gain evidence?!!! Why let the kid believe he's about to be shot?! In fact I initially gave this movie 4 stars and now I'm going to drop it down to three stars.

Initially I gave this one star because season one was terrible. Half way through season two this show became something that could have been as big as Dexter. I don't know why it got cancelled. There could have been any number of reasons like maybe it didn't have a direction to go in because what made season two improve vastly was the father and son duo. And the humour from Martin Whitley. Previously everything seemed a stretch of the imagination and it was on the one hand serious and on another stupid and samey. So the humour didn't work and came across as cheesy and like the characters were over playing their parts. When the show was taken into another town or county and another killer was introduced with the father and son being on the run , the show completely changed and moved away from being samey and it had grit and the humour was great. It felt like it could improve further and had cult tv series vibes. The woodsman looked great when he walked through the door into the barn. That was a great look. Far better than the crimes they were knocking out every episode like Murder she wrote. Martins face when he came out of the barn was great too. And seeing Malcolm looking more rugged rather than prim and suited and booted was a better look at gritty character. So they just stopped filming. And it was just getting good. And im wondering if whoever made that decision hadn't viewed it to the end and realised it had potential to go in another direction and be something bigger and better. Now they have a back story they should create something bigger from that. They should make it more serious and scary, but keep the humour of Martin Whitley. I remember when Buffy the vampire slayer first came out and it was on before kids went to bed and was geared at teenage girls. I thought it was lame. Then as it went on it became more for adults and aired later in the evening. This show was heading in the same direction becoming more credible and more interesting. It became addictive.

I watched these when they came out and am now watching them again. I actually couldn't remember any of the stories so it's like watching for the first time. Here's what I think. I think that when these movies came out there was a place for them and Kate's look and kickass character. I also think that because they were watched as they were released the end goal for each movie had to be to kill the bad guys. Watching now I find Kate's character and the character Michael weak and lame and possibly irritating. The characters they take down are portrayed as having great strength and a force to be reckoned with. They are characters who have been a force to be reckoned with and feared for centuries. Then Kates character and Michael get upgrades yet they fight like they don't have anything special in the way of upgrades. The bad guys fail in there goals and the boyfriend and girlfriend duo take them out without any real show of strength. Then we are left with the boyfriend and girlfriend and every time some amazing badass characters with history spaning centuries are removed from the story not long after waking up and being bought back into the world. Markus and William would have made for a far better story and I was rooting for them. They didn't deserve to die after everything they had injured and the injustice they injured. William was a werewolf so he was going to kill and we never even got to see him as a man unless he couldn't change back either which wasn't stated either way. Both Markus and William would have made great characters for a story in a world where humans had pretty much had their day. And what gives Kate's character and Michael the right to keep taking these characters out of the picture as though they have more right themselves to live?! And the werewolf leader in the first episode who was supposed to be dead was a great character even though I can't remember his chraters name. He was killed as well. These three characters should have gotten to remain. If memory serves me right one does return, but I won't spoil it for anyone. It just goes to show that at the time of releasing these movies the writers realised that they needed to bring them back, but couldn't bring them all back. They obviously realised that a bit of weak fighting and having the boyfriend and girlfriend kill all these so called badass bad guys at the end of every show was stupid and predictable. It makes watching the entire movie pointless because two movies in and there's already a predictable ending. Each of the bad guys had a history and a strength and character that was an opertunity to collect some hardcore characters in order to build an epic kickass story leading to a final chapter and the franchise could have continued for longer and grown bigger. Instead it wasn't even as huge as twilight and twilight was mainly for 13 year old girls who liked their vampires sprinkled in gold dust.

I'm giving it three stars because it made me feel sick and scared me for life. The one star reviews are wrong about this being a bad movie. The acting and production is really good. Someone said the teacher wouldn't sexulise or tell on the daughter to the parents, but that's the point of the movie, it's about messed up people and society, it's about men and women and the roles some women are still expected to play. And it's about the origins of women and humans and devolving and evolving and feral alongside domesticated dysfunction. It's supposed to be about the worst of the human race. It's a three for me because I'm not a diehard horror fan and had I known what it was going to entail I wouldn't have watched it because horror movies stay with me and have a negative impact on me, but I imagine this movie is in the top ten for horror fans.

I haven't watched it. I watched a trailer wich began with two little girls laying next to eachother like "mates forever" and one said "hideous" and the other young child said " kinky" What child that looks about 7 years old says kinky or even knows what kinky means? And how does hideous and kinky go to gether? So there we have a movie title and then the trailer continues with little children doing the posh English accent and Kate Winslet doing the posh titanic English accent and England doesn't have a posh accent unless you are off a council estate and got into a government funded job and ended up faking one along the way so that you can fit the part of crossing the lines in a duty of care oppressing people and trashing their mental health and keeping yourself in the robbing lifestyle you have been a custom to and remaining a king of the castle needing your peasants on a tiny rancid island that has gone down the toilet due to you and your deluded cronies actions within your bubble that has become bigger than said island and which all your peasants with more intelligence in spite of there mentally health challenges not classed as disabilities which you inflicted upon them not classed as disabilities and chronic mental health because they are not drawling and can't be managed and have the measure of you have left the tiny island and your fake accent and your narcissistic insecurities. Then I watched a little bit more of the trailer and bore me to hell and back if it isn't Kate Winslet and her accent just talking about something to someone minus the " jack" When you've been born in the UK and you've suffered the UK and all it's crumpets, cream teas and " that wouldn't be British" being no longer upheld to gloss over the fact that our government is no better than any corrupt government in the worst countries you can't even tolerate a movie trailer for a movie that might other some escape from reality. Give us another planet or several.

It's a bit weird because they have a child that looks about 9 talking like a man. And whilst I get he's a sycopath every thing he says is not a child's dialogue. And given that he hasn't learnt to phrase things the way he does from an older sycopath the movie is a bit lame and dull and also irritating. The movie could have worked with an evil child that uses child terminology relevant for his age and probably would have been a better movie. The kid sounds like he's watched too many 1940s thrillers. Then there's the fact that this kid has a broken up old tree house that's about an 80 foot climb up a tree by way of some broken slats nailed all the way up to the top and his parents allow this. And he can run around the entire neighborhood and into town on his own with his cousin of the same age whilst the parents are responsible for both of them. He even has a shed where he's been making a bolt gun. Oh and the parents go out and leave him babysitting. The parents are educated professional people. They are doting parents and yet they have never been inside their kids shed or asked him where he's been for hours whilst he's running around smashing window and throwing things down a well, off motorway bridges and shooting cats and dogs. And he does it all whilst speaking like he's going on 50 in an Alfred Hitchcock movie. Oh and the background music belongs in a melodrama.
