Possible a Couple of good tv shows

I have to say, there's a couple of these 'dweeb-turns-agent-extraordinaire' type shows around at the min! That being said 'The Night Agent' looks fairly interesting!

Not so hot on 'The Last Thing He Told Me', but it has a lot of Shonda Rhimes type production/ feel to it (and a couple of her actors involved too!)!

Just a few that I haven't seen in here. Nothing overly special.

"Haunted Mansion" kind of looks okay. Saved by the very LOVELY Rosario Dawson, who's set to have a very big year in the 'Star Wars' universe.

I, myself, WAS going to post about "TMNT" a couple of days ago, but it's so niche now, most interest in it has been destroyed by poor renditions of a great comic book. Glad you have, though.

"Ghosted" is interesting in the fact that Chris Evans is a very good comedic actor... with* the right script and this is not it.

Whilst, conversely, in "No Hard Feelings", Jennifer Lawrence is an extremely poor one trying too hard in this 80's homage to teen sexual awakenings. Whilst I love seeing Matthew Broderick back (again an homage to the 80s), he seems like he's just paying the bills here.

Also, I find it pretty weird to see Lawrence, who was so adamant not to be seen as a sexual object... play a role where she's a sexual object! Of course, her career has pretty much been torched, so I think this will go, virtually, straight to streaming and may pick up some traction there.

Pity that mermaid film wasn’t serious and dark! Looking at that trailer it’s a musical as well? So count me OUT..

I have to say, not all musicals are shit, although 98% are.

My favourite is "Sweeney Todd"; dark and serious as you wish, starring Johnny Depp with the only English accent he knows.

Makes it more humorous to me!

Allelujah - Fri 17th March


Marlowe - Fri 17th March - (Sky Cinema as well)

Not up to date with the DC stuff so won't see Shazam.
Pearl looks interesting, A24 studios of course.
Rye Lane feels like a new type of British film.
Allelujah has everyone in it.
Marlowe looks like a decent mystery film with Liam Neeson.

Not sure if I'll actually go to watch any this week, got a couple to catch up on that I might check out instead. Marlowe the most likely for me.

She's got a great voice, so maybe.

They haven't really knocked it out of the park with these live action remakes though.

To be fair, it's difficult to do live action when someone has seen the animation version first.

I think it's to do with disassociation for the viewer and real world factors for the producers of the new film versions of cartoon classics.

It would be making fish with huge eyes, big smiles or similar to directly correlate with stronger and more familiar association.

Do people want to see "The Mask" again cos that's what it would boil down to?!

I know what I mean!! LOL!

Funny enough Sweeney Todd is my number 1 favourite musical followed by the original Willy Wonka…

"Allelujah" looks like a great love letter to the NHS and has me wistfully thinking 'Do I miss it or not?'. I love Alan Bennett's stuff.

I have "Marlowe" on my PC, so will watch it on that. Can't use my hard earned English pounds for Liam Neeson's work of late!

I agree with you on "Pearl". It's A24 and they haven't truly disappointed me yet!

As for "Rye Lane" it strikes me in personal cultural values, so I'm drawn to it.

Hope it's good!
