Jason Kimbro (105 KP) rated My Bloody Valentine 3-D (2009) in Movies

Dec 30, 2017

Another over the top remake hated by critics and divisive amongst fans. I loved it. Maybe a guilty pleasure of mine, but I'm proud to proclaim my love for it. As gratuitous as the Black Christmas remake was, it really doesn't compare to this super fun sch

Life Is One Hell Of A Ride

This is one of the best character piece movies I have seen in a long time. Every performance is top notch and the writing and direction is great too.

Movie Metropolis (309 KP) rated Captain Phillips (2013) in Movies

Jun 10, 2019

Tom Hanks appears again in Captain Phillips, following a ship’s crew as they try to survive being boarded by pirates. Based on a true story, this is an emotionally charged film with an incredibly tense atmosphere.

MissCagey (2652 KP) rated Big Little Lies - Season 1 in TV

Loved it!

I was totally absorbed with all the ladies' lives in this series as it slowly uncovers each of their stories. I was not expecting the twist at the end which was just the cherry on top. Just brilliant. Hope Series 2 is just as good.

Another hilarious season of the Thompson family and their antics. Ken takes paternity leave to be the primary carer for the baby and Dale becomes the nanny. Over the top in parts but generally funny and warm, they must have had a great time making this show!
