Project Power. An average action movie, kind of a super hero movie crossed with that Bradley Cooper movie where pills make you smarter. Here they just give you super powers.
My wife said at the end of the movie: has Netflix dropped our standard of expectations for movies? Are we just getting used to bad movies and accept how bad they are because they are “free” in our monthly sub? She has a great point!

Showmax recently got A Vigilante, starring Olivia Wilde (paging @Solitude).
It’s a solid revenge/power fantasy film, though it’s of the darker variety. It does contain some cop-outs that frustrated my wife and it is difficult to watch in places. It could’ve potentially worked as a pilot for a series. 7/10.

Hubie Halloween on netflix
It was pretty much a waterboy like character…I thought the husband would enjoy it as he usually loves up in your face dumb comedies but he didnt(i think it was because he didnt get some of the references to jokes). I on the other hand did actually enjoyed it. It wont win any awards except a few rotten tomatoes but it is a movie that i feel you would be able to watch with your kids.
Oh and for once Rob Schneider didnt go “You can do it!” in an Adam Sandler movie
6/10

Watched The Trial of the Chicago 7 on Netflix. It was excellent, though I have become a fan of Aaron Sorkin.
It is interesting (for me) to see the connections in Sorkin’s work.
In one of the episodes of the first season of Newsroom, Sorkin wrote a line about how the Yippies subsumed the STS and how the progressive movement would be painted as generically anti-establishment, whose adherents pass out flowers to soldiers and who tried to levitate the Pentagon.
(Oh wow, while Googling for the episode number, I found the Newsroom clip on YouTube! Embedding it below.)
One of the characters in The Trial of the Chicago 7 says pretty much the same line in the movie. It’s not the first time I’ve seen Sorkin do that… He essentially gets to explore a statement he wrote back in 2012 for one of his characters in depth with this film.
9/10 — Great writing, amazing cast. This is a theatre-quality movie from Netflix.

If you are looking for something fun, light hearted, and just a proper feel good movie - Love and Monsters is what you need.

It really does look great, the Mrs. and I watched the trailer and she immediately said, “We have to watch this”

You are gonna love it, it was funny, not really scary at all - the “scary” was lifted by the humor and the humor was very sharp.

Extraction (Netflix)
8/10
A solid action movie, with a decent, yet basic premise, but fantastic cinematography.

Watched Rebecca on Netflix, i only watched it because of the controversy surrounding Lily James, cause from the rumour mill going on she is quite the homewrecker…
The movie was quite good though. and Armie Hammer is just such a hunk

We just caught the tail end of The Lion King remake on DStv and wow… the voice performances were bad.
I don’t know if it’s nostalgia talking, but everything felt rushed and hollow. And I know I can’t blame the actors. Chiwetel Ejiofor as Scar, Donald Glover as Simba, Beyoncé as Nala… So I’m going to blame the director

Nah I fully agree with you. As a cinematic experience it was a technical marvel to take in its splendor. But I still prefer the animated counterpart in every sense.
