Frank of Ireland (2021)

It is funny and silly and great

[7/10 · 24 April 2021]

Plenty of laughs here at a time when we all need a laugh.

Yes, its silly and daft but so what, it will cheer you up.

The Gleeson lads can do comedy as well as every other genre they do, they are a talented family. Sarah Greene is just great in everything, didn't know she was in it, nice surprise.

Leonardo (2021– )

Brilliant series

[10/10 · 24 April 2021]

I am just finished watching Leonardo and I absolutely loved it. It depicts the human side of one of the most amazing polymaths that history has even known.

I have read books and watched documentaries on Leonardo before, but this showed his vulnerable and compassionate side. Aidan Turner did a powerful job in portraying the man behind the genius. It is not all historically accurate, that being said a lot of it is. Either way I highly recommend it, it is truly engaging.

The Mauritanian (2021)

Shocking true story

[9/10 · 24 April 2021]

I was appalled by the treatment of the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

These people were tortured humiliated and treated as guilty without any proof whatsoever. Regardless of whether they were guilty or not they should have been treated humanely. The savagery that was inflicted on these prisoners by people in authority was absolutely shameful.
