It wasn't the most jam-packed week for movies*, but this is what we watched.
Much Ado About Nothing (1993) - starring Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson. I love Shakespeare, but this is particularly good. If you haven't seen it, I totally recommend it - even if you aren't that into the Bard.
Death Wish (2018) - Okay, so I swore I wouldn't watch this because I'm generally against when Hollyweird remakes old favorites. Then I saw that it starred Bruce Willis and I love Bruce, so I gave it a whirl. I'm glad I watched. It was awesome. This movie was definitely not harshing on the Charles Bronson version and it was also totally not-woke. I liked the juxtaposition of Bruce as a mild-mannered, peaceful surgeon before his family was attacked and the man he had to become to gain justice. The end was satisfying and cool. Yay.
I tried watching a couple other things, but they were duds, so I stopped. Nothing worth mentioning here, even to pan it.
Have you seen either of these? Did you watch anything awesome this week?
*we ended up watching several new-to-us TV shows instead. If you want to hear about those, let me know and maybe I'll add those to the ends of these posts.
As mentioned, I don't do movies much--if at all--these days. I have a list of movies I think I want to see: Top Gun, Maverick; a couple of the John WIck I haven't seen; and...some I can't remember.
ReplyDeleteThere's a new movie out "Nobody 2 - Vacation" or something similar. If you haven't seen "Nobody" you should! He's a "mild-mannered" accountant working for his father-in-law. His brother-in-law thinks he's a wuss. Then the bad guys show up. It's sort of "Death Wish" only the guy's background is sooo not in medicine or anything peaceful. 🤣
Enjoy your watching!
