I must still watch John Wick.

You havenât watched any of them? Thereâs four John Wick movies, all of them ultra violent and heavy on the action sequences. Itâs one of the best action movie franchises ever, and while theyâre all really good movies individually, itâs worth watching all four chapters in order, if you can. Just make sure the kiddos are fast asleep. Or better yet, staying at a mates house. 
Itâs probably the reason we hardly watch movies. We get around to enjoying maybe one adult movie experience a week. Kids are in bed sure, but interruptions still happen and before you know it, itâs late and weâre tired. And generally speaking, I wonât watch anything without my wife with me, and vice versa.

Same here. We watch a new movie once a month or so. Other than that itâs family and work.

Have they changed the meaning of ensemble? 
Nah, not really when theyâre using as âensemble castâ:
In a dramatic production, an ensemble cast is one that comprises many principal actors and performers who are typically assigned roughly equal amounts of screen time.
Basically, lots of semi-equal egos to stroke, all of them generally on screen for the same time, and a production company thatâs trying not to piss any of them off by making one more important than the next.

Martha
Netflix Documentary | 30 October
This definitive documentary on Martha Stewart pulls back the curtain on one of Americaâs greatest self-made icons, from her start as a teenage model to her stint as a Wall Street stockbroker to her reign as the grand dame of entertaining and good taste. Directed by R.J. Cutler (Elton John: Never Too Late, Billie Eilish: The Worldâs a Little Blurry, The September Issue), Martha draws on hundreds of hours of intimate interviews with Stewart and those from her inner circle, along with Stewartâs private archives of diaries, letters, and never-seen-before footage. The film illuminates Stewartâs upbringing in a working-class family, compels us to reconsider the scandal that sent her to prison, and heralds her post-prison reinvention as the original influencer whoâs still captivating new generations of fans.
The Order
Cinema Release | 5 December
For over a year, a series of bold daylight bank robberies and armored car heists leaves law enforcement baffled and the public panicked throughout the Pacific Northwest. As the attacks become increasingly violent, FBI agent Terry Husk (Jude Law) becomes convinced that the robberies are the work of a domestic terrorist gang that plan to use the loot to finance an armed uprising against the U.S. government.
Based on a true story, The Order follows Husk and his team into the tangled world of white supremacists to try to head off a violent uprising that could shatter the nation. As the militia builds a war chest of over $4 million, Husk pursues the malevolent racist Bob Mathews to a final bloody standoff that will go down in U.S. history.
Intense stuff. Jude Law and Nicholas Holt look great in this trailer.
