Ready Player OneThis is just like Nostalgia: The Movie. It's like "Hey, remember THIS THING? Oh and hey, what about THIS? HUH? HUH?". Eh, it had its moments.
Well, it's based on Nostalgia: The Book. Don't get me wrong, I didn't hate it or anything, but it basically read like a young adult fiction novel. Only that it was aimed at people who were young in the 80s. Which theoretically should have been me, but... eh.

Honestly, I've had absolutely no interest in seeing Ready Player One. The trailer looked neat enough, but it also looked like a movie that showed all of its cards for the previews.
But anyway, I just got through finishing off Kingdom on Netflix. I never thought I'd be excited about zombies again, but it somehow managed to pull me in. It ended up being pretty damn good.

Dutch Netflix just added Train To Busan. If you want more zombies (with a bit of social commentary to boot) in an original setting with some touching emotional development I can heartily recommend this movie if it's also on your country's Netflix.

I also recommend Train to Busan. Lot's of nail biting action with moral lessons thrown in. The ending tugs at your heart. Excellent movie.

Train to Busan was fun, yeah. Nothing all that new when it comes to zombie movies, but entertaining nonetheless.
If you can, also check out Seoul Station, which is an anime prequel.

I binge-watched Russian Doll in one night and it was absolutely excellent. Great acting, clever plot, good mix of drama/laughs, and enough twists to keep the repetitive formula from going stale.

So Bird Box was pretty clearly a metaphor for political trolling & conspiracy mongering on social media that makes people go completely batshit & do unhealthy things, packaged as an apocalyptic movie which Mute or The Walking Dead did better. But if you put all of that aside, the formula more or less works I guess... having to survive in a really vulnerable situation and the importance of community after humans have exhausted the whole self-hate schtick they have going right now. Sandra Bullock & John Malkovich were great for their characters. It was good if you took it on its own terms, but there was a lot of that background context that kept creeping back and distracted from it sometimes.

I took it at face value and sounds like I enjoyed it more without all that baggage.
I saw Blindspotting and defo recommend it. Very visually interesting too, as an aside.

I found "Poldark" to be quite good. 4 seasons...about 36 episodes. 5th and final to come in early June 2019. BBC production. I watched it on Amazon...included with prime.
...It's 1783 and Ross Poldark returns from the American War of Independence to his beloved Cornwall to find his world in ruins: his father dead, the family mine long since closed, his house wrecked and his sweetheart pledged to marry his cousin. But Ross finds that hope and love can be found when you are least expecting it.
