Tipping Point (2012– )

NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE ME...

[5/10 · 6 November 2020]

...just how little English contestants know about the history of their own country. Program after program their lack of knowledge is astounding. Example, King Canute came to the throne in 1018..was her from Russia, Spain or Denmark. She thought it sounded Spanish but guessed the correct answer, Denmark. An embarrassment to the state of general knowledge in the UK...BTW...I'm Australian

Borat Subsequent Moviefilm (2020)

Loved it

[9/10 · 27 October 2020]

A great and very funny/clever/ audacious follow -up to his previous Borat masterpieces. Poor old dumb the dumber Giuliani caught unaware and unprepared

Marcella (2016–2021)

COMPLETE RUBBISH

[1/10 · 16 June 2020]

While Season 1 and 2 were watchable, Season 3 has sunk to an all time LOW. Ludicrous, far fetched storyline. I can't quite believe how Netflix would have commissioned and then approved this hopefully, final series. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME EVEN THINKING ABOUT BEING CAUGHT UP IN THIS TOTAL WASTE OF TIME

Wanda Sykes: Not Normal (2019 TV Special)

WANDA WE LOVE YA

[10/10 · 6 June 2020]

I'm an Australian and have always loved her comedy and HER. I wish she would travel DownUnder to Sydney to entertain us all. This NETFLIX show is so clever and topical....Trumps tweets get crazier and crazier as each day goes by...surely it's time he saw a Physciatrist and gave the rest of the World a break forever from his childish rants.

The Strong Ones (2019)

MAGNIFICENT PIECE OF HONEST FILM MAKING

[9/10 · 24 February 2020]

I saw this marvellous film this evening at the Sydney Queer screen Mardi Gras Film Festival. From the first screen shots I was entranced in this not so run of the mill love story. The two male leads are electric in their performances and so convincing as their story unfolds. as is the supporting cast. The cinematography is totally engrossing letting us into a part of the world few tourists ( and Chileans ) get to experience. I would definitely see it again . Highly recommended. And introduced by a very talented and humble young Chilean man

Crooked House (2017)

WHAT A LOAD OF OLD RUBBISH!

[2/10 · 13 January 2020]

I tried to watch this tired old Agatha Christie piece of nonsense but found it so silly I had to fast forward through most of it. It's all been done to death before time and time again. Producers must be getting short of new ideas if they have to resort to rehashing more of this tripe. Enough already!

Knives Out (2019)

UTTER, PATHETIC RUBBISH.

[1/10 · 26 November 2019]

Daniel Craig and Toni Collette must be laughing all the way to the Bank. I saw this piece of rubbish tonight in Sydney with two friends. They both dozed off to sleep during this tedious nonsense. I can't believe some of the Actors putting their names to this. DON'T BOTHER !!

The Final Quarter (2019)

AUSTRALIAN RACISM AT ITS WORST

[10/10 · 20 June 2019]

Very hard to watch in places as this great Australian Athlete was vilified and booed over years at the hands of AFL Spectators and Dumb and Dumber ''Commentators'' like Eddie McGuire, Sam Newman and Andrew Bolt plus the likes of Miranda Devine from The Daily Telegraph. This 75 minute Doco should be shown at all schools and Sporting Clubs in Australia.

Home Fires (2015–2016)

BRING IT BACK

[9/10 · 31 October 2018]

Loved this excellent series when it showed in Australia.....and it ended on a knife edge which left a lot of unanswered questions.

My Big Gay Italian Wedding (2018)

Absolue rubbish

[2/10 · 21 September 2018]

Not worth the price of the ticket.....lost in translation.....totally silly. Don't bother

Dream Boat (2017)

A lost opportunity

[5/10 · 23 September 2017]

Saw this film last night at the Sydney Queer Film Festival with 3 mates. We all found it rather disappointing as we'd all been on a Cruise Ship before and had a lot more fun than these poor devils seem to have experienced....the men that were chosen to showcase all had religious upbringings and while this is not itself a bad thing, it weighed too heavily on the course of the movie....the cinematography was excellent but overall that couldn't save the limp story-line

Things to Come (2016)

A load of pretentious rubbish

[3/10 · 6 May 2017]

Another French film that should/ could have been great. Stilted dialogue about Philosophy. And how come if the French [ who I love, their country, their culture, their history , their language etc ] generally always have English/American songs on their soundtrack when they are so pedantic about keeping the French language ''pure''.....I couldn't wait for it to finish [ as did my partner ]

The Daughter (2015)

Excellent all-round Aussie Production

[9/10 · 7 June 2015]

I was lucky enough to see this film today at the Sydney Film Festival....adapted from Henrik Ibsens late 19th century play ''The Wild Duck'' but totally rewritten and retold into a modern Australian story set,maybe in the logging areas of Tasmania but actually filmed around the very atmospheric Snowy Mountain towns of Tumut and Batlow. The acting is superb, particularly the wonderful Ewen Leslie who just gets more magnificent in each role he takes on...Script and cinematography add to the overall brilliance of this terrific Jan Chapman production....a must see for all lovers of great Aussie films both here and overseas...I cant wait to see it again on its general release
