Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
binasmc First if all they need to Black list the writers. The main actors not having chemistry in the first place, the dialogue makes it worst. Useless banter and juvenile temper tantrum, makes me want to gouge my eyes. What's the deal where the male characters gets so offended when he gets teased​ he gets a melt down and starts attacking his partner but it's OK for him to belittle everybody? Shows don't succeed if the writer is below par! SMH!
Jay Woodland A foot in mouth review.I had never heard of this show, I recently discovered it on Netflix, OMFG it is amazing, this is on another level of funny, Hot Fuzz is the closest thing to it that I know of. So well written and executed performances! I told a couple of the lads about this show and they have fallen in love with it. I will admit to this because I am a man a manly man, I laughed so hard I cried and peed on the sofa, good thing mine is leather. Season 1 episode 3 is incredible!I don't want to say to much because you have to experience it. Toby Stephens is utterly epic in this program as DI Jack Armstrong and steals the show really he plays an utter git, but he is so likable because he is an ass.I really would love to see this show come back!
per-181 The first "series" of Vexed, the three original episodes, was rather promising, thanks to the comedic talents of Lucy Punch. Her replacement, Miranda Raison, is not nearly as good though. No timing, no pizazz, no nothing. Now it's just the annoyingly stupid male lead and an anorexic woman, completely devoid of charisma. And she drives a "155 bhp car that does 0-60 in 6.6 seconds" – that's sloppy scriptwriting indeed. Last time I looked, the Focus ST was a lot more powerful – but why would such a dreary character have a fun car? And I have yet to see an unreliable classic Merc...The script is full of factual errors of this kind, errors that turn the plot useless. I'll give it one more chance tomorrow, but that's it. Lucy, please come back from Lala-land – your talent is wasted on bad bit parts in silly Hollywood flicks!
the_curious_tongue OK so let's start with the obvious. What is Vexed? Vexed is a new BBC2 hour-long comedy focusing around two newly partnered DCIs (Detectives for USA,) Kate (Lucy Punch) and Jack (Toby Stephens.) The outline is simple. They go solving crimes in their own way. With Jack being an arrogant, self centred, shallow man and Kate being a neurotic, violent and yet endearingly cute at times. I like the fact that they are new partners, it gives license to explore what first impressions they give each other, and also is a very clever way of introducing the characters as they can ask questions about each other without it being strange, helping the viewer.The comedy in the show is very British. Irony, sarcasm and quick-wit. Sometimes immature. The acting is first class. I rarely say that but this time it's spot on. Punch's and Stephens' on screen chemistry, or rather purposefully the lack of it, is near genius. The stories are original and well thought out.The only problem is that this show needs, and I mean needs, to be given time. 3 episodes should get you. Unfortunately this will probably be cancelled because it's not some two pints/coming of age rip off. Or rather because it hasn't got the now annoying Russell Howard. If you love sarcasm and irony. Love misogynistic jokes being torn apart by a woman, enjoy good acting, well written stories and some genuine laugh out loud moments then you'll love this. If you love arse and tit jokes along with ott accents and slang - then go watch repeats of two pints on Dave or Gold.
