June 3, 20195 yr I recently re-watched Arrival. Not a shock that I still really like it, it touches on so many topics. It made me look forward to whatever Denis is working, which I later found out is Dune.
June 24, 20195 yr I decided to go to watch Man In Black: International after watching its trailer on FB2Mate but it made me disappointed. Hemsworth and Thompson, who has the makings of a major star, do the heavy lifting. And, miraculously, they keep it light, breezy and watchable. Memorable? That’s asking too much. Hemsworth, last seen as Fat Thor in Avengers: Endgame, plays the dashing, James Bond-ish Agent H, a merry prankster with no scruples about breaking company rules, including indulging in inter-species sex. But he has the support of MiBhoncho, High T (Liam Neeson), who bonded with H in the field. By contrast, Thompson is estrogen in a testosterone universe. We meet her as Molly, a child in Brooklyn who has dreamed of joining the Men in Black ever since she had a girlhood close encounter with a baby alien (of course he’ll show up later, all grown up). It’s Molly who talks herself into a probationary position with Agent O (the ever-terrific Emma Thompson). “Don’t start,” says O wryly when Molly — now known as Agent M — asks: Why it isn’t Men and Women in Black? Times Up and all that.
June 26, 20195 yr X-Men: Dark Phoenix, which rather sadly, given that it was intended to wrap up such a long-running and relatively successful franchise, wasnae very good.
July 12, 20195 yr The new Spidey, a relatively fun film but considering the source it was another Marvel disappointment.
