Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
The best action film in years.
I'm not a big fan of Top Gun from 1986 so I wasn't expecting to love this film but it's a tour de force. Tom Cruise delivers a powerful peformance in a well rounded story with no darlings. It's everything a great action film should be. It's a solid 10.
Black '47 (2018)
Hauntingly authentic Irish film
Unfortunately most of the Irish films or TV shows I watch seem to be trash but there are some great exceptions and this is one of them. The film is depressing and dark but features some of the best Irish cinema ever made and it's not without some amusing moments. Probably not for everyone but if you want a film about Ireland's dark history this is one for you.
Finding Joy (2018)
Painfully unfunny.
Amy Huberman must have something on someone important in RTE it's the only explanation. RTE are determined to make a star of Amy Huberman despite the population of Ireland. If she read the phone book they'd put it on air and call it a season. Terrible, awful, bad nothing show about nothing. Hilary Rose guest stars with her one tone and one expression. An island full of great talent but unfortunately that talent doesn't seem to make it to TV. Maybe some talentless casting directors in Ireland might be the cause. Making stars of mediocre actors that would never make it outside of Ireland.
The South Westerlies (2020)
Terrible RTE output as usual.
Another awful show from RTE down there with Finding Joy and The Young Offenders. And they want us to pay a TV license for all this rubbish?
