Mr Hyde – Google

One to watch! I can’t really say too much without ruining the entire plot of the movie, but it’s not your average horror…a very interesting and clever way of portraying difficult adult themes. It definitely warrants its age rating, as it’s quite a psychological and intense movie. Christina Ricci was brilliant as always. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a horror/thriller with a bit more edge. Makes you think a lot, keeps you gripped throughout.

A must see movie! Outstanding cast. Thoroughly entertaining. Can’t wait to watch it again. A bit predictable at points but genuinely I don’t think that takes away from the film at all, personally I don’t need constant shocks and twists to enjoy a film and sometimes I find they can be a bit overdone….this movie made sense and the direction flowed well. Really loved the natural chemistry between Blunt and Gosling. Same director as bullet train, and I feel it had that same style of choppy/fast paced action sequences which I really enjoy. Funny. Engaging. Romantic. Action packed.

I personally found this really good, but I see a lot of bad reviews so rather than try to convince people to watch it by spoiling half the plot (because in order to defend some things said I would have to spoil it) I’m just going to say that Adeel Ahktars performance was outstanding. I think I cared more about his character than any other actually. I’ve only ever seen him in murder mystery 1&2, so going from that to seeing the role he plays in this series blew my mind, talk about range! Genuinely think it’s worth watching just for his performance, so despite having plenty of good things to say about the show, I’ll leave my review at that for fear of ruining it more than others already have. Thoroughly enjoyed binge watching this on a rainy Sunday.

If ‘the business’ and ‘the kingsman’ had a child- this series would be that child. A fabulous mixture of criminal activities and aristocracy, this series perfectly managed to mix and blend those two worlds together seamlessly, as though they were always meant to be one. The cast is outstanding! Literally every single character was fantastically well written and acted, making you truly believe the nuances and complexities of each person and their relationships with each other, without it needing to be explicitly touched on. Very clever. This series is everything you would come to expect from something affiliated with Guy Ritchie, it’s classic, timeless, violent, graphic and tells a gripping story. Highly recommend watching this. Having not seen the movie myself, I can say this works as a stand alone series- however, I am off to watch the movie now, that’s how much I loved the series. I hope there’s more to come.

Such a great movie. Not what I expected at all; in fact very early into it I had written it off in my mind as a random attempt to make an edgy film, but then it proves it’s worth and stands as a fantastic, mind-blowing movie with some really thought provoking subtext and character development. It really pushed the boundaries on so many levels, I have never seen a movie quite like this despite movies with similar themes or plots. I definitely recommend this movie, I couldn’t tear my eyes away from the screen!

Ok this series has been brilliant so far, I’ve been on the edge of my seat, desperate to know where we’re going and what’s happening. I’ve cried several times and screamed several more. It had me googling how likely this scenario is, with such a plausible and believable backstory to the outbreak. I thought I could see how this was all going, it’s like a clever version of resident evil, with the hopes it gives and the focus on survival, only with the added interest of clear character development that was teased throughout. But then that all changed…. Episode 3… wow. Absolutely incredible acting, incredible writing and incredible directing. The details- that song, the meals, the wines, the shirt. It was just so beautifully done. I was taken on a journey with the characters, one filled with love, empathy, compassion, fear, sadness and ultimately peace- all in an hours episode. The depth and arc of the characters and storyline was just so fantastically done. What an episode! I was sucked into their little bubble, completely forgetting about the disasters of the outside world. I was not expecting this from a zombie series, it shows real potential for the rest of the series, that it’s not just a one trick pony and will be different from other outbreak/zombie franchises. I think I’m gunna love it for a long long time!

Flight plan is undoubtably a gripping thriller, and the fact that it’s basically the same modest backdrop for the entire movie means that it relies solely on the actors bringing that excitement- it’s not a fancy marvel movie with millions of pounds worth of special effects, cgi and backgrounds. Just a good old fashioned movie with great actors. You start to question yourself in this film at points, that was clever. Having said that, once you figure it out you kind of just want other people to see what you see. I found it very uncomfortable to watch the racism that took place in this movie, though I suppose it highlights the truth in our own society, which actually makes it more sad. Really worth the watch, but I’d say it’s one of those films you’d maybe watch once a decade (after you’ve had time to forget the plot), hence the three stars. If you want five stars it’s gotta be a movie that you want to watch over and over again. **Spoiler** The only thing I found truly dissatisfying is the lack of revenge/vengeance Foster had. I wanted those stewards to eat their words, and I wanted a big thing at the end where everyone apologises for accusing her of being crazy and making it all up. If it was me, I’d be throwing fists and using colourful language to tell them all where they can shove it. Worth the watch, but pretty low in the list of films to see.
