Doctor Who: Orphan 55 (2020)
LOL
The Dregs are a rip off of the Vorcha from 'Mass Effect' AND the Hoix (see Love and Monsters).
Also ripped off: Midnight.
This is bad.
That is all.
Doctor Who: Sleep No More (2015)
Hehe
This episode is a lot better in retrospect after watching series 11 and so far series 12 Seriously they in particular is rubbish.
Doctor Who: Spyfall: Part One (2020)
No
Bringing back the master out of nowhere in a random twist is not a good twist, it made me go, eh? Not excited. I'm watching the show out of a sense of duty, not enjoyment. They better explain way the Master escaped a clearly stated inescapable suicide. Also the killer satnav is just a ripoff of the ATMOS system from series 4. Furthermore, the doctor now asks so many questions, knows absolutely nothing, can't figure out anything for herself and shows no sign of morbid enjoyment in investigating, a key aspect found throughout each incarnation and so should be here. The script is insufferable, the acting is dreadful, the forced political messages are cringeworthy and the plot consists of poorly sewn jumps from rubbish set piece to rubbish set piece. Can't believe the BBC get taxpayer money to make this sewage. Used to be my favourite show, now I hope they just do the merciful thing and end this, or get an entirely new team and restart the show from twice upon a time and erase this and series 11 from canon.
The Walking Dead: We Are the End of the World (2019)
The good ol' horror's back
This week saw some classic, practical walker gore and killing which has seemed alot more minimal to me, and too CGI, in the past couple seasons and it makes a welcome return here. For once in ages the walking dead made me feel tense and actually had good horror elements in its setting and psychological themes. This was far more entertaining than last week mostly because they've killed off, bar carol and Negan, all the interesting 'good guys', the ones who are left are dull, preachy, annoying and uncompelling. Its lucky they've got such intriguing villains in the form of alpha and beta, along with their while whisperer concept to keep me watching. That and Negan's banter. I wish they'd stop teasing and give us badass Carol from Series 5 again.
Her (2013)
Its brilliance had to be Broadcast
I've never written a review on IMDB yet and there were a lot of films that came close to making me do so but none quite seemed to push me, until I saw this Masterpiece. I loved "Her". The cinematography is outstanding, the acting is enticing and the script is perfection. This is strange as I never saw myself ever enjoying a romance film. I've always preferred much darker, grittier and grandiose character study epics (a la the Shining, Blade Runner 2049) yet I find myself in awe of the tonal contrary. I've never had an emotional catharsis after watching a film like this before. It is slow-paced with a minimal cast and yet has a fully fleshed out and believable world. This is not to say this film and world is small in scale. I believe alot of exteriors were filmed on location in Tokyo and they are marvellously expansive and detailed. Even interiors have huge cityscape views and never feel like a built set. They even shift beyond the city in scenes I won't detail (you have to watch this yourself). Perhaps the Sci-fi element is what made it for me (I am a huge fan of this genre) and that is a loose term. Sci-Fi has formed so many sub-genres because it is so malleable and it has done so again here with romance (I know its not the first time to do so, that's not my point).This allows far more philosophical perspectives and interpretations and enables one hell of a Script to be conceived which ,for once, I agree with the Oscars in awarding best screenplay to this Film. Overall, even if you hate or are uninterested in Romance types/much prefer darker films, give "Her" a chance. I did and to my surprise it is now one of my favourite films and the odd film out in my watched list and that is great, just like "Her".
