The
Grudge (2020) (15) –
what’s it about? The curse was brought back from Japan and has been tormenting
home owners ever since.
So I thought I’d go and see
this in hope it would be a bit of a scary film, I think it was scarier that
there were only me and one other person in the screen lol. It was a good
continuation to the story but it was as expected really, there was nothing
surprising or not run of the mill for this type of storyline. It was your
typical light horror, it wasn’t overly scary or gory, and sadly there was
nothing really outstanding about it, don’t get me wrong though it was a good
watch and the storyline was ok, it was something a little spooky to pass the
time, so it’s worth seeing if you like a bit of light horror.

Bombshell
(15) – what’s it about?
Gretchen stands
up for the years of harassment women had suffered under Roger Ailes at Fox
News.
I’m not really a fan of
stories based on real life events, mainly because real life is pretty dull, but
I had some spare time and thought I would go and see this one, just you know to
fill the day. The funny thing is I don’t watch the news, it’s all forced
stories by big corporations trying to get their political or their agenda
across to the masses and brainwash society. Anyway that got a little deep, so
onto the film review. It was a good film but sadly again I think because it was
based on real events it was pretty normal, don’t get me wrong I completely feel
for these women and I praise them for stopping harassment that had gone on for
years, go team! Yeah in my book it was a good film, just not amazing, but if
you like real life stories then this may be right up your street.

The
Personal History of David Copperfield (PG) – what’s it about? The story of David Copperfield from
childhood to adulthood and all that happened along the way.
This was another one that I
thought I’d see to pass the time, as there isn’t much on that I would really
love to see at the moment, this time of year is award season so there seems to
be an influx of a certain type of movie, sadly. This was better than I thought
it would be, but I’ve never read the book so don’t judge me. The humour in it
was really quirky and it did give me a good giggle in parts, that said though
about ¾ of the way through I thought this is beginning to drag and the humour
seemed to dry up a little, but then again it’s a book adaptation so they had to
get all the story in. I think this would be amazing to see on stage but I feel
in parts it seemed like a play recorded for a film, don’t know if that makes
sense, yeah it was good but I think it didn’t quite fit as a film.
