I grew up with Lucille Ball. In the 1980s Here's Lucy was on each afternoon and I Love Lucy was an afternoon staple. So much nostalgia! When I first heard about the casting I was sceptical but was really looking forward to this film. To my surprise, Javier Bardem does an amazing job (I always thought Johnny Depp would have made an excellent Desi). As for Lucy, Nicole has the acting chops but kinda reminds be of Glenn Close in Stepford Wives (incidently Nicole starred in that film). However, the b&w episode recreations are quite magical. The story is quite spot on. Yes, Lucille Ball was actually part of the Red Scare and Desi's philandering ways were what ultimately led to their separation, but they remained lifelong friends.. I Love Lucy!

The hype around this series is the reason I subscribed to Disney+. And The Mandolorian not only lives up to but exceeds the hype. Action packed and coherent storylines, amazing cinematography and effects, and an adorable Baby Yoda take the Star Wars franchise to the next level.

Nice film with songs composed by Dolly. A bit corny but a pleasant Christmas musical. If you like Heartstrings you'll probably enjoy this.

As a fan of the original, I was disappointed with the first episode. But I decided to watch the rest of the series. I found myself progressively enjoying it. Great to see Punky and friends back but the real standout talent (surprise) are the kids. It kinda reminds me of Roseanne. Good natured light hearted entertainment.

Regardless if you are aware of the the history behind Italy's most iconic fashion brand, House of Gucci is an enjoyable if not long tale of love, greed, familial tension and ultimately revenge. Lady Gaga flexes her acting chops once again with a mesmerising portrayal of Patrizia, while Adam Driver is a perfect casting choice for the reserved Mauritio. Watching the waxing then waning fortunes of the power couple is a guilty pleasure, but 2+ hours later, the the climax of the films feels rather anti-climatic (well, in contrast to the awkward but highly aerobic love scenes). This feels somewhere between fine trash TV and a Netflix crime biopic. And that's not a bad thing.

I loved this series! After trawling through Netflix for months to find a decent show to watch I gave this a chance. I was hooked instantly. Great storyline (once you get used to the four different timeframes), characters you actually care about and a stellar performance by Katherine Heigel. I was a bit disappointed with the ending but I'm assuming there will be a second season.

All I can say is I found this so humourless and depressing that I went home and watched Austin Powers.

Refreshing to see a film that doesn't rely on heaps of profanity or shock tactics to be interesting.

I wasn't sure what to expect when I heard this film was available on Foxtel. I remember seeing the 1950's? version as a child and out of curiosity sought this out. Unlike many faith-based films, I did not find this corny or biased; rather a very human yet ethereal account of a mysterious event. I loved how Portugese village life was portrayed and the children were delightful as the 3 seers. The music score added to the ambiance of the film. For those who complained that the apparitions did not look "real" I must admit that "Mary" did look like a young Neve Campbell but then again how should she really look? I did find the end of the film an anti-climax as it had a great build up but seemed to end suddenly. I would have like to see more dialogue between the journalist (Harvey Kietel) and Sr Lucy. But overall a very interesting film.

Margot Robbie is a good casting choice but some things in this film were so cringe, like the "beach off" scene (you know, where Ken hits the plastic wave.) Visually spectacular but too many themes and sub-plots packed into one film. Stepford Wives did it so much better and was much more fun to watch.
