REVIEW #372 Clarksons Farm (Season 3)

Following Jeremy Clarkson as he tackles farm life in the Cotswolds, leading the charge in raising awareness for the struggles modern farming presents using his own Diddly Squat Farm.

Season 3 certainly lived up to expectations, maintaining the Amazon prime original as my favourite reality show on TV. The humour and heart that Clarkson’s farm captures is second to none and in its third season, the relationships continue to grow and develop which is part of what makes it so special. I’ve always been an outdoors person who holds a love for the English countryside, combine that with cute farm animals and Clarkson’s trademark humour and it really is the perfect reality show for me. This season tackles some new challenges, from pigs and goats to the global issue of exhausted soil that so desperately needs addressing. It doesn’t lecture the audience, it informs them, and in the best possible way! Now it must be said that reality TV doesn’t usually appeal to me, certainly not to the extent that Clarkson’s farm does and that’s why I’m giving it such a huge score here. When I compare it to its competitors it really is just the best around in my opinion. I do want to mention that you can’t really compare the score for this, to a score for a movie, they’re completely different metrics and usually I wouldn’t even review this type of show but it’s just too good not too. So hopefully this encourages those of you who haven’t watched yet, to give it a go because you won’t be disappointed.

Overall (10/10)

Thanks for reading.

REVIEW #334 Wish (2023)

Young Asha makes a wish so powerful that it’s answered by a cosmic force, a powerful star that will help her defeat a corrupt sorcerer and King of the Kingdom. Wish was a pleasant surprise for me, having read a lot of negative reviews. It’s a simple storyline but I like the themes that run through it, the idea that we all should take our dreams into our own hands and rely on no one but ourselves to make them come true. That’s a powerful message for young people! Not all of the songs roll off the tongue like some other Disney movies but there was still a couple to really enjoy. The animation looked good and the visuals were easy on the eye, it’s a shame my cinema experience was butchered by parents being unable to control their misbehaving kids, so I think that’ll be my last Disney movie in the theatres for a long while. But definitely one to watch when it arrives on Disney+. Overall (7/10) Thanks for reading. Callan

REVIEW #54 The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021)

The latest instalment of The Conjuring sticks with Ed and Lorraine Warren as they take on one of the worst cases of their careers. After a failed attempt at an exorcism sees the demon jump to take on a new host, a brutal murder soon occurs where Ed and Lorraine must convince a jury of demonic possession to prevent the death penalty. They soon realise that it isn’t a normal case. CAST & THE ACTING  Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson reprise their roles as Lorraine and Ed Warren and do well to portray the convincing characters as they take on another case. Julian Hilliard plays the initially possessed young boy David and he does brilliantly, for such a young actor he really does deliver a great performance. Especially in the opening 20 minutes or so. Ruairi O’Connor plays Arne and similarly to Julian, he delivers a strong performance showing a real range of ability throughout the journey of his character. Overall I think the acting was actually pretty good, however they were let down by
