Black Bag (2025)

Husband and wife are pitted against one another along with their co-workers in an espionage thriller over missing malware that can cause a nuclear meltdown. While good, it's a bit convoluted.

The movie is creepy.

Directed by Fede Álvarez

Stars Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu

here are some story problems... such as how they're able to leave without anyone caring-- when earlier one of them is told they can't leave. Also no one else noticed the space station but them?

Features nods to other Alien films, including having Ian Holm's android, which is creepy.

While both Alien and Aliens are better films, it's one of the better made stories in the series.

There's interesting moments such as the facehuggers running rampant, how to dodge them, and acid blood in zero gravity. Also liked the android changing personalities.

Today I saw...

Wicked (2024)

It takes place before and after Dorothy arrives in Oz, centering on the life of Elphaba, the eventual Wicked Witch of the West. We learn her life begins after an indiscretion by her mother with a guy who's not her father.

I finished Season 3 of The Morning Show. It centers around a tech billionaire making a bid to buy UBA, after the media company finds itself experiencing financial trouble. It's better than Season 2, however, this company and it's employees go through SO MUCH!

So yeah. It's not unexpected. It's either end the series or recast Apparently they're going to go back to the original concept-- people working for Vanderpump, which was the most interesting part of the show.

It's funny, I kept saying to myself, no one on the show works for Vanderpump anymore, and half the cast seems to hate the other half of the cast. Last season they were struggling to find ways to be together or even involve Lisa Vanderpump. It's been feeling manufactuered.

I just read that Vanderpump Rules has been completely recast and won't start filming the next season until 2025.

I finished the second season of The Morning Show.

This one is framed around the Covid pandemic.

Unfortunately, it doesn't feel as strong as season one, but there are memorable moments, such as when Alex and Chip fight in the car after she returns from Italy.

I finished the first season of The Morning Show on Apple TV+

It's about a Morning Show that is slipping in the ratings, and one of it's cohosts is fired over infidelities with other staffers. He's married and has kids. The other cohost's contract is up for renewal.

It's actually an above average story and refreshing to see Liam Neeson working with better material.

Directed by Robert Lorenz

Stars Liam Neeson, Kerry Condon, Jack Gleeson, Colm Meaney, and Ciarán Hinds

In the Land of Saints and Sinners (2024)
