The Movie and TV Thread

The Woman King was getting such good reviews and I like Viola Davis so I thought I would see it. It indeed is a very good movie, with great acting and scenery.

There is some buzz that they glaze over that the tribe depicted were involved in the slave trade, but it is mentioned and part of the movie. But it's only a movie.

In the theater I saw the movie "Bros" which I guess is a big deal because it's the first gay rom com put out by a major studio.

It's bombing at the box office so it might be the first and last. That said it's getting great reviews and widespread support in the gay niche market.

Personally I loved it. Lots of romance and comedy, but also some good social commentary.

With a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score I decided to watch the new Australian movie "The Stranger". A true crime story. It was a slow burn but yet kept my attention and came to a satisfying conclusion.

Out in theaters now I saw "Tar" with Cate Blanchett. A very good performance in a long movie. The Academy loves her so wouldn't be surprised if she got another Oscar nod for this performance.

Saw this movie on Amazon Prime Video because it got 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. It was good and the scenery of Malta was really nice.

Saw Wakanda Forever in the theaters where a movie of this magnitude should be seen. Not as good as the first one but nonetheless excellent movie.

Rented "Triangle of Sadness" from Amazon and it was one of the weirdest stories I've ever seen. It was really good though. On a side note one of the starts is the first Filipina actress to get a Golden Globe nomination (best supporting actress).

Saw this in the theaters as well. Well worth the hype and award nominations it's gotten so far this award season.

Saw Bullet Train on Netflix. It was okay and very violent. Not the best movie, but entertaining.

Was going to see Babylon but my friend got the times mixed up and we went to Avatar instead. Really good movie with great special affects.

Watched The Glass Onion on Netflix. It's up for the Golden Globe for best musical/comedy movie. Daniel Craig also is up for best actor musical/comedy.

It was okay and I thought Daniel Craig doing a souther accent a bit off.

In the theaters, I saw "Babylon".

It was a bit over the top, but very well done. Obviously had a big budget. The acting was top notch and I would expect a Screen Actors Guild Nomination for best ensemble. Which actually come out today so we'll see if my prediction is correct. Maybe a best supporting nod for Brad Pitt or actress for Margo Robbie. It was a stunning movie over three hours long but held my attention but for a nature call. LOL

I watched a documentary our now called "The Return of Tanya Tucker" which is getting good reviews. I'm not a huge fan of country music, but I love a good comeback story.

Because it got a high rating on Rotten Tomatoes and showed up on the Independent Spirit Awards for Best First Feature and Actor, I had on my list to see "Aftersun". It finally became available for streaming so I rented it on Amazon. I see also it showed up on the BAFTA (the British version of the Academy Awards) for "Best British Film" and "Best Lead Actor".

Honestly it was a slow burn and didn't seem to have much of a plot other than scenes of a father and daughter on vacation. This is one where you had to dig deeper into the subtleties of what was going on with the two main characters and it was really brilliantly done if you paid attention.
