The Horseman Comes For Those Who Don't Love This As Much As Me
I love this film, it is a film that you can just stick on and be pulled straight in with the handsome Mr Depp.
I watch this for the amazing mysterious story of the horseman and his eternal curse, and my wife loves to watch the amazing, mysterious Johnny Depp and his eternal hotness.

Poignant, beautiful and tragic
Such a mix of emotions reading this beautiful tragic love story of the effects of circumstances on people be it poverty or social acceptance.

Gustav's character is admirable and delicate, trying to make the best of situations for others despite having so little himself. Absolutely worth an award of some kind. The reading was well done, spoken carefully and portraying a host of emotions. Worth the read.

Glorious
This is one of those smaller films you expect little from and end up being pleasantly surprised. Yes you need to take it with a pinch of salt as it is about trolls, but it's a really interesting modern take on the old fairy tales. The effects are surprisingly good, it's darkly funny with some good bits of gore thrown in. All in all, a great take on the mockumentary.

Very entertaining
When I started this movie I wasn't sure what to expect-except the romance part. It turned out to be much more than that. It's a great sci-fi drama that was surprisingly intense and entertaining. The acting was great and the cinematography/ imagery/ effects were beautifully done. If you enjoy a good romance orsci-fi movie, you'll enjoy this one. Highly entertaining. Worth a watch!

Aquaman
This movie has done a wonderful job of staying close to its comic book roots. The visual effects are beautiful and believable.The storyline keeps it moving with a surprise near the end. Jason Momoa is absolutely perfect for this tough guy , coming of age, softie character. He knows what's important and fights to protect it. My 13 year old son who says he " HATES SUPERHEROES " loved this is movie.

Good story, but not scary.
Complaining about special effects is pointless, because it's a very old movie.
The idea and the story are great. Reasoning behind character choices is interesting.
The only bad thing i can say about this movie, is that it lacked the scare factor. Maybe it is because of the unrealistic amount of blood, or maybe it wasn't scary at all, who knows.

With what is quite a crowded genre chock full of below average vamp flicks this one injects some much needed originality.
It's clearly made on a smaller budget but the effects are very good and the attention to detail is a good reason to catch this one, acting could have been better from some of the actors, however Sam Niell is quite the menacing blood farm CEO, worth watching!

A very good follow up. most including I prefer the first one just a tiny bit more than this one. It starts a little slow but eventually gears up half way through, introducing some new characters along the way. The effects are still very impressive and the battle scenes are probably bigger and longer than the first films. Overall a solid effort nearly all who liked the first one will enjoy.

A step in the right direction
Honestly, DC did well with this movie. Easily their best movie since the Dark Knight trilogy. You get to see Diana learning about humanity and finding that everything isnt as cut and dry as she learned back home. The supporting cast does a great job to help teach her and bring a bit of comedy to their dire mission.

Patrick Melrose
Patrick Melrose
2018 | Drama
An adaptation of the novels of Edward St Aubyn. Patrick Melrose comes from a rich family but after suffering abuse from his father he is reliant on drugs and alcohol which effects his relationships with others. Benedict Cumberbatch acts his socks off and is brilliant, the support actors are brilliant too. There is a bit of toing and froing between past and present so you do need to concentrate!
