Tennant outstanding
Sheen outstanding
Funky fresh show
This show packs a lot in and keeps it moving forward well. Had never read the book so didn't know what to expect. The concept of the story if brilliant and the cast deliver a solid performance. As much as I love David Tennant I kept getting a little frustrated at him doing his best Bill Nighy impression and started the think that maybe Bill Nighy would have been a good choice for Crowley. The show was very satisfying to watch and is definitely one to put on your playlist.

I really enjoyed this film. I loved the way that it explored the gritty streets of Victorian London and the acting is superb, especially from Olivia Cooke and Bill Nighy. The ending is a little predictable but I don't feel this ruins the film as it is still extremely well done and extremely clever. Just a warning though there is a lot of gore and violence. So if you're not a fan of that stuff then be aware what you're in for.

Drunk Johnny Part 2
Yo-Ho, what do you get when you based you movie off of a disney ride, a great movie. Yes you read the correctly, this movie is based off of the ride at disney. So how does a 20-30 minute ride turn into a 2h and 40min movie, well you ride the ride a bunch of times, than evently you get to the 2h and 40min mark. Im kidding, dont do that, instead watch this movie. Plus you get more drunking Johnny Depp or Johnny Depp playing pirate Keith Richards, so thats always good.
This movie is great and is better from the first one, coming off the first one, this one has more action, comedy, adventure and overall a better plot and a excellent villian.
The Plot: When ghostly pirate Davy Jones (Bill Nighy) comes to collect a blood debt, Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) must find a way to avoid his fate lest his soul be damned for all time. Nevertheless, the wily ghost manages to interrupt the wedding plans of Jack's friends Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley).
Bill Nighy is excellent as Davy Jones, i love the charcter and his haterd against Jack Sparrow.
This film was shot back-to-back with the third film of the series, At World's End.
Its a excellent movie and highly reccordmend it.

Not what i Expected
A dark and gritty movie set in 19th Century London. Its basically a murder hunt with a lot of clever plot twists and side stories. The central 'detective' character is played by the brilliant Bill Nighy and it is he who must ascertain whether Olivia Cooke's character had good cause to murder her husband or whether she did murder him at all. It flows very well and you will find yourself drawn into the main characters life which is far from flawless. Well worth a watch if you enjoyed Michael Caine's Jack the Ripper.

Woman vs. town.
Based on the novel of the same title by Penelope Fitzgerald, it tells the story of widow Florence Green (Emily Mortimer) who opens a bookshop in an abandoned home in a small English village. Unfortunately, she does so against the wishes of some of the locals who try to get her removed from her shop. However, she does not find herself without allies and friends.
I was thoroughly delighted by the scenery and costumes in this movie. The stage was set very well. I’m a fan of Bill Nighy as a rule, but I can honestly say that this is the best role I’ve seen him in.
This isn’t a particularly feel good movie. If you’re looking for a Hallmark ending, keep looking. But it does have a few laughs, in that British small-town movie way, and I found it well worth my time. Especially in regards to Emily Mortimer’s and Bill Nighy’s performances.

I have gone on quite a bit about this one recently. I just think it is wonderful, and by far the best and least mawkishly sentimental work from Richard Curtis, of Love, Actually infamy. It makes me laugh so hard; the perfect awkwardness of Domhnal Gleason against the cute intelligence of Rachel McAdams; the exquisite turn by Bill Nighy as the time travelling father; and every small character and very British nuance in-between – it is such a pleasure. It also makes me cry… a lot! What I like about it is that it feels exactly like being in love. Exactly! There will be regret and pain, but in the end there is that one person that gets you and always will. And that idea… feels good!

Pokemon is a global brand spanning cartoon, cards, animated films, video games and now a live film, well as live as you can get with imaginary creatures.
Watched in 3D, it really didn't bring anything extra to film.
The plot is pretty much by the numbers and suffers from being horribly predictable, this most likely due to being aimed at a much younger demographic. Bill Nighy really got license to over act his heart out and it shows, in his somewhat limited screen time.
Will it spawn a sequel, possibly, only time will tell as it's launched at difficult time with Endgame still massing larger viewings and Aladdin and John Wick 3 releasing in the next 10 days, it may get squashed to limited performances quickly.
