New Guy Ritchie film. The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. Looks fun.

Completion fail for me made it to like 4 seasons and just stalled out. Probably just the streaming wars and too much content.

“The First Omen” - surprisingly decent (as unnecessary prequels go). The muted, grimy 70s cinematography nicely matched the feel of the original. Good slow burn sense of dread, with some haunting imagery. Not your generic CGI-fest.

The lead, Nell Tiger Free (of M Night Shyamalan’s “Servant” and Cersei’s daughter in GoT) was really good.

XMen 97 S1 -- good but not great. Animation is mind-blowing, and I love all the new characters introduced (eg. Rogue, Nightcrawler), but the relationship between Professor X and Magneto is tiresome and was explored to death in the previous X-Men live-action films (eg. First Class, etc). Hopefully one of those two characters (or both) gets snuffed in future seasons.

I’ll have to give it another shot….was bored in the first episode….


Side notes…..Godzilla -1 was overhyped…..also I loved the latest Mad Max movie…..
