Movie Review. Moon with Sam Rockwell. Pretty harrowing . I love how these guys are still so very human. Will watch again, I expect it's one of those movies that you think about.

3.5 hobbits

TV Review. Benidorm. Amazon.

I just couldn't watch it so I watched every first episode and the last. Too histrionic for me but I can see how this series is made with love and respect for those who like the all inclusive holiday camp holidays.

2 hobbits tho it must have appealed to many as it had 10 series made.

I really enjoyed Moon. I saw it in the cinema with no clue going in. We actually missed the start of the movie we were going to see because of traffic so decided to see it instead as it hasn't started.

I don’t think Ive seen any of the shows or movies you have reviewed since you began the hobbit rating system.

Do you gravitate towards any professional critics in particular ?

I don't read any critics at all. Not quite true, I listen to Mr Seagoon.

I do read books and listen to podcasts by movie historians , I listen to commentaries by writers and directors and podcasts by story analysts.

Oh right, can you recommend a podcast?

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Like Stories Of Old. Cinema Therapy. MB Archives. And all the LOTR ones. I used to listen to Film Courage, it's pretty good too.
