    Creation stories: a few good jokes but too few to compensate for a lack of depth. The movie feels rushed and never takes off.

    Focus (2015)
    After being deceived so much I feel kind of empty and displeased.

    That's exactly how Will Smith feels about his marriage.

    The Grey

    They say it's a thriller, I say this is a psychological movie about how you deal with approaching certain death. There's a feeling, since the beginning, that things won't go well...

    Zama

    Colonialism, such a 'wonderful' thing.
    A bit pretentious.
    Nothing pretty much happens in this movie.
    Except nobody going anywhere.

    Deepwater Horizon, randomly watched again on TV. Based on the actual catastrophe.

    Theme: When greed and according oil company "slaves" (quasi robots) decide. Death and destruction, environment disaster.
    We live in such a world, despite several/uncountable calamities. The outcome is pretty clear.

    This Town



    New Zealand murder mystery comedy.
    But you won't always be laughing.
    Deals with people's prejudice and all that.

    Lucrecia Martel translated a deeply existential novel to the screen. Zama is hands down one of the greatest adaptations I've ever seen and such a delight to watch. Nothing happening and always something is going on.

    Glad you liked it.

    Who shot Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur?

    Biggie did nothing wrong but Tupac was far from righteous. In any case I think that Biggie was shot due to Tupac.

    Did not see, but will soon see Season 8: the really gud episodes. It needs no introduction. I steered clear, now I steer in for every second uninterrupted.

    The courier: for the fans of dominic Cumberbatch or Bridge of spies. It's well made but not very original.

    Jupiter's Legacy



    Meh, I don't know.
    Guess it was ok.

    Liked the whole Journey into the Heart of Darkness story arc.
    Wasn't a fan of Chloe.
    Oh, and I'm glad that
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
    Anna Akana dies.
    I can't stand her.


    Anyways, if you found that boring, try this instead

    INVINCIBLE



    Also, this:

    Sorry to Bother You



    Quite a mad movie.
