What is the latest good film you watched ?

For those interested, Brie does get nekkid for a non-sexual sexual scene in "Somebody I used to know"

It's good to be the king...


Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

Watched it yesterday afternoon.

It's not a bad movie - but it's not as good as the first Black Panther flick, IMO.

However having watched it, I found it more to my liking than I initially thought I would - quite a few friends were rather negative, which left me with a lower expectation.
TBH, when I saw the first pics of Tenoch Huerta Mejía as Namor with a 'tache and goatee, I was uncomfortable with the image since it clashed with the comic-book version I'm familiar with, but watching the film, it hardly crossed my mind after awhile.
However while I know comic-book Namor has no love for surface dwellers, that is very different to this movie's Namor, who wants to see the surface world burn (in revenge for invading his seas in search of vibranium). A far cry from the comic-book Namor who fought against the Nazis in WW2 alongside Captain America & the golden-age Human Torch as the Invaders and 1970s Namor, who teamed up with Doctor Strange and the Hulk as the original Defenders.
Oh, and having Namor say his comic-book catchphrase "Imperious Rex!" in his native non-English language sucked.

I also wondered about the inclusion of Dominique Thorne as Riri Williams / Ironheart. Her character felt unnecessary and TBH, I'd rather see more of Winston Duke's M'Baku who I thought was underused (and more of Attuma).
Angela Bassett as T'Challa's mother was really powerful - so I was a bit miffed at her fate later in the movie.
Finally, there is no getting away from it - there is a hole in this film and that hole is the loss of Chadwick Boseman as T'Challa / Black Panther. The funeral scene was a fitting farewell to the man, but his absence could be felt throughout the movie.

Overall I'd rate it 7/10 - it's a decent effort (and it's better than "Thor: Love and Thunder" IMO), but I couldn't help nit-picking and thinking "what would T'Challa have done?"
 
I realized I probably hadn't watched anything on NFLX in January - partially because of the NFL Playoff games. I had in my "New to NFLX" notes to watch "The Pale Blue Eye." I liked it. If you watch it, make sure to watch it "through the end!"

Olympus has Fallen

Finally watched this film but ended up watching this series in the wrong order, watched it backwards. Silly i know but i just ended up watching them if i saw them on my TV


Bad Education Movie

Not sure if this is the right section as the movie is from the TV series but like 1 big 90 min ep so thought it best here. If you are into the series you will like this some what. The newer recent series doesn't touch up to the original but it still has good laughs with a couple of the old line up still in.

Now you see me (haven't seen either until yesterday. I'm super Kate to that game)

Strange circus
So.. explaining this one is not gonna work. Japanese indie feel. So.. Ya know what, I'll just put the trailer and let you decide if you want a complete mindfuck movie. It was good, in a "question your sanity" way.
