Nowhere (2023)
Ok but highly unrealistic
So this is a film which immediately makes you think of the journeys immigrants make. Oh dear how awful it must be for them.
Then the story gets silly . Items in the container are Tupperware containers not slotted into tidy packs but whole with there lids on. I don't know how much it costs to send a large wooden box with full size Tupperware lunch boxes in but it will be more than the contents.
A birth in the sea without any aid . Obviously the lady wasn't bothered by the cold water or getting wet.
Eating fish by starting where the guts are, followed by a tasty afterbirth snack.
Remove reality and it's a ok film.
The Traitors UK (2022)
Claudia or Alan?
After watching the American version first then the English . Which did I prefer?
Obviously watching the USA was intriguing as I didn't know what to expect but some of the most tense viewing was the English. So it was roughly equal viewing.
If I had a choice I would get rid of Claudia Winkelman and replace her with Alan Cumming. He nailed the part of a Scottish Laird creating the atmosphere of 'Murder' in the castle. His costumes , his wit was worth watching by itself. Towards the end you're waiting for him to come down the stairs and give that mischievous look.
Don't get me wrong Claudia was good but she just treated the game like any other game show not something which was unique. If you haven't watched the American version, give it a go, there are some excellent game players.
Marriage (2022)
Captivating
When Marriage was advertised on the BBC I said to my wife "That doesn't look very interesting " but. I like Sean Bean so we gave it a go.
What's it about ... well nothing really, a bit of jealousy, a difficult parent, a death and redundancy all mixed in to create a fly on the wall drama of a marriage.
The director was quite brave to show someone stacking a dishwasher in real time. Yet it is hypnotising, you get sucked into their world and want to know what happens next.
I understand a lot of people will get bored but I really enjoyed it.
Peacock (2022)
Good Fun
If you like the office then you should like this... the main character is like a David Brent personnel trainer.
It's not a side splitting comedy but it will give you a few chuckles. Hope they make more episodes as it has potential.
