Ice (2011)
Distinctly average
For a start it's way too long. Couple this with some ham acting and a dodgy plot and it's easy to start to lose focus and let your mind wander. That said the production isn't bad, some of the SFX are a iffy but for a TV movie they've not done a half bad job to be fair. Overall though it's all very implausible so that causes it to lose credibility. It's a poor mans 2012 I guess.
If you're at a loose end for 3+ hours, knock yourself out. If you like dodgy tv moves, knock yourself out. If you have the attention span on a goldfish or detest cliches and cliched storylines then you're gonna struggle.
Funny Cow (2017)
Absolute drivel
Starring Maxine Peake I expected good things. I didn't get them. This film severely lacks something - a story maybe? It was definitely lacking something and the collection of great names making cameos suggested it would be better than it was.
The old comic hung himself, but all we saw was the act and then no further ado were on to something else.
In the end did she go on to be a great comedy success? Who knows? What about her mum? Who knew the coast was such a good cure for being a hardcore alcoholic?!
Very cliched, very lacking something, very disappointing!
