Manifest (2018)
IGNORE THR BAD REVIEWS, SOME HAVEN'T A CLUE!
Ignore the negative reviews, these people haven't a clue when something really good comes their way!
Manifest to me is brilliant, it's so addictive and I was hooked from the start, I couldn't stop watching, didn't take me long to binge watch them all to date!
So many twists and turns, it's not over the top with how some similar programmes are. Action, suspenseful, full of mystery and it was even emotional at times, just didn't want it to end!
The characters are played so well, the actors pour their hearts into the roles and that just keeps you glued!
Roll on season 4 part 2, I'm impatient already!
Special Correspondents (2016)
Ignore the harsh reviews...really enjoyable movie!
I wasn't sure what I was expecting to be fair, I love Ricky Gervais and I own everything he has done. A lot of negativity had come from various reviews I'd read and I thought - Well I'll be the judge, jury and executioner!
Admittedly the film has a slow start but does build, as the film continued I got more into it and was eventually gripped even though it was quite predictable the direction it was heading in. For me Ricky's on-screen presence makes it automatically feel-good, especially for me as I'm a fan of his work. Occasionally throwing some funny one-liners in, occasionally sounding like his character of Andy Millman from Extras which for me helped keep the Ricky we know and love current. Eric Bana was a great choice to play the main reporter, at first I thought it would be like sticking Arnie with David Jason kind of combo but they play well off each other and have great chemistry, Eric as we know is Australian so a convincing American accent was spot on.
Overall, ignore the harsh reviews, I know it's opinion but let's face it, they ain't got a clue what a genius Ricky is, it's not always about the comedy, the film isn't hilarious but is quite funny in places, Ricky has tried his hand here at something else and I believe pulled it off well. Highly recommended if you love Ricky's work and want to see him try something different then go for it, 9/10 is a deserved rating!
