This Town (2024)
Left wanting more...
I grew up in the 80's but you wouldn't need to have done to appreciate this. It has sass & coolness throughout. 'This Town' was written about the people, the politics and the music of an era but still manages to transcend into modern culture with this gem of a series.
Thank god for Steven Knight, he builds the characters so well that you have empathy and attachment to each of them. I find this is missing in a lot of modern productions and it lets them down. This however, is brilliantly written, stunningly produced and a joy to watch. I am now left wanting more.
The music was chosen carefully with a fusion of genres which is what the era was all about.
A mix of Peaky Blinders and This Is England rolled into one.
Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
Even if you love Tom Hardy - Don't bother
I thought with having Tom Hardy in the lead role this would be a dead cert for us to enjoy this film. I enjoyed watching the Mad Max films as a teenager but I have probably grown out of them. Just because Mad Max was always devoid of acting skill does not mean you should continue in that vein. What a total waste of time. We, my boyfriend and I could not even finish the film due to their being no story, no acting, no originality etc etc... Absolutely pants!
