The Marvels (2023)
I don't know why all the hate
I really enjoyed this movie it better than a lot of the recent superhero movies in that i didn't start gaming halfway through. Sure there's some clunky dialogue in the last 20 minutes but overall I would watch again. I noticed some were moaning about Miss Marvel being juvenile but that's the point of her she's a teenager. My only eye roll came with the Bollywood world but even that wasn't awful it just felt a bit too unbelievable. Don't be put off by the reviews give it a spin and try and go in without prejudging it I nearly didn't and nearly missed an enjoyable couple of hours so grab a bag of popcorn and enjoy the movie.
That '90s Show (2023)
Not the 70's but that's good
I binged watched the whole season in one evening and I was a little apprehensive to start with however after a few episodes it finds it feet and is a cracking show. It was great seeing all the old cast minus Masterson make cameos or actually give full blown performances enough to give continuity but without over shadowing the new cast. I warmed to the female cast before the males one but in the end enjoyed the entire ensemble who put in a great performance. Kitty and Red are well Kitty and Red. My biggest gripe is it took the first 3 or 4 episodes to really find its feet and then it was over which is of course always an issue with streaming programs nowadays you don't get long enough for characters development. Anyway go watch it, it's good silly fun and hope there will be a season 2.
Death on the Nile (2022)
Missing something to make it sparkle
I was really looking forward to this movie as I do like KB as Poirot. However I found some of the acting to be substandard at best which is a real petty considering the cast involved. Russel Brands performance was particularly wooden. It was however nice to see French & Saunders still have a certain magic when together. I felt the story had been dumbed down a little too much for my liking but the character changes were apt for this day and age. Overall and outing for this classic story being mildly enjoyable but not standing out. KB please do better with this great source material.
