The Outsider (2020)

Slow to start but then gathers pace!

[8/10 · 6 February 2020]

I went into this hoping for the new True Detective season one and to start off with i was a little underwhelmed.The first two episodes start off a bit slow but do not fear this series soon picks up pace and its well worth the wait.Only being on episode five i can't really give it my full rating but judging by where its heading this could be a good start to 2020 for HBO.

Glass (2019)

Finally a Movie that got it right.

You know those moments when you realise what you're about to watch is going to be worth the price of your ticket.I had that vibe right from the opening scene.Great acting from the cast especially James McAvoy.Like others have mentioned ,if you like the first two then you'll like this one.I couldn't agree more.If anything the third installment brings just that extra touch of class to round things off with.You know the movie is good when you're rooting for everyone.Loved it.

True Detective (2014– )

Season 3 leaves off where Season 2 failed.

[8/10 · 27 January 2019]

You know that something is worth watching if you're sucked in by the first episode and the latest offering of True Detective certainly does that! Continuing on from the dark and broody style of series one actors Mahershala Ali and Stephen Dorff give strong performances along with a well chosen cast.The story this time is back to the roots of season one but being 3 episodes in its too early to tell.But so far I'm hooked! This could be very well the Season two we all were hoping for finally delivered.

Dark Tide (2012)

why such a low rating?!

i actually really enjoyed this,if you like the ocean you like great white sharks then this is perfect for you.The acting is pretty decent,the cinematography is really good i'm mean it looks absolutely real!o.k maybe these guys were asking for trouble,but then again there are people that do this everyday out in South Africa and i bet if you talked to every single one of them they could tell you of some seriously close calls,after all you are dealing with the oceans second top predator.(and even though sharks mistake us for food as we are not their usual prey,rogue sharks do exist and have to be killed it happens all over the world so anyone that says sharks don't blindly attach humans are misinformed...anyway)I though it was better than Open Water both one and two and if think there's been loads such as adrift etc etc.The action is great there is some emotional depth between the two main protagonists and to me it seemed like a very enjoyable film.I'd give it a 6.6 out of ten.i thoroughly enjoyed it.Check it out for yourself.
