Also seen...
Two Docu-series:
- The real Bling Ring: Hollywood heist. Somewhat smarmy examination of the famous robbery club, with a light slap on the wrist directed at lowbrow reality tv culture.
- El caso Cassez-Vallarta: Una novela criminal. Somber examination of a notorious case involving Mexico and France, which becomes a condemnation of deeply corrupt government institutions. Worth a look.
One live-action show:
- The devil in Ohio. So-so domestic melodrama disguised as a satanic thriller.
One Anime series:
- Golden Kamuy. 3 seasons. Excellent adaptation of the notorious manga. An adventure yarn with heavy, healthy doses of homoeroticism and over-the-top antics.
And two movies.
- Snyder’s Justice League. Four-hour movie that if fused with the theatrical cut would result in an actually pretty good film. Certainly above most current superhero films but that is a very low bar to clear.
- See how they run. Fairly entertaining mystery-comedy that starts annoying but manages to become increasingly charming as it goes on. Might make a fine double feature with the vastly superior “Knives Out”.
