Rebel Moon: Part Two, also a Netflix movie.
Very similar to Part 1 but not as good. Even more blatant “appropriation” from Star Wars and Seven Samurai. And even though it is Science Fiction, the logic of many plot points seem forced and don’t make sense. And surprise surprise, the end sets up for yet another sequel.
Overall if you REALLY like Part 1 you would probably tolerate Part 2, otherwise skip it.

It wasn't too bad, but then Dune is a really hard story to tell visually. What put me off was the much-vaunted Zendaya who seemed to be doing a good job of acting the petulant teenager. It just got tiring after a while.
She's a good actress, but she seemed kind of whiny and mopey for a warrior.
The Wrong Missy continually cracks me up... lol.. smh
The Judge was very good. Probably the best by critics standards...
But...
Did I include this one too...? there were a lot of movies watched Saturday...lol
This was the best/my favorite of that lot.
I really liked that one as well.

The Wrong Missy

what a great movie by David Cronenberg’s son. I think that this movie cemented what we all knew already: Mia “f-in’” Goth is one of the best actresses in contemporary cinema. I can’t wait for MaXXXine!Infinity Pool - really weird, loved it
... we watched 'Moonstruck' yesterday .. our first repeat viewing of this 1987 romantic comedy in a good, long while. Cher, a very young Nicolas Cage, and such wonderful support from some older movie greats. And music from Puccini's La Boheme to tear at a few heart strings. Wow, it still worked for us, and was much-enjoyed once again.
I finally got my hot little hands on Phil Tippetts 33 year long stop-motion project, the surrealist dystopian subterranean nightmare Mad God. I’m going to alligator clip my eyelids back to my forehead tonight clockwork orange style to make sure I don’t miss a single perfectly composed frame of this moving 3D painting.
"A Few Good Men." Great cast; excellent movie. 
It ain’t Christmas until I see Hans Gruber falling from the Nakatomi Tower.
I saw this the other night - it is rather sexist in retrospect."A Few Good Men." Great cast; excellent movie.
Why would it be sexist? It’s the typical story of the apprentice learning from the experienced.
Indeed.
The late, great, Alan Rickman.
Personally, I'd (more than happily) watch him (and, above all, listen to him) reading the telephone directory.

Watch the film (A Few Good Men). Sexism permeates the film, directed at Demi Moore's character. The details would be NSFW. It spoils the film for me now.
It's all about perspective... now I gotta watch it and see it for myself. It's been awhile since I've seen it..
I know this is about films, but re-reading any Heinlein stories reveals how chauvinist he was.
OTOH, watched Jurassic World Dominion again the other night and was pleased at the lack of screaming females, and in the building up on a pole, how everybody got involved in deterring the large, nasty, bitey dinosaur who finally got its comeuppance.
Watched it in the theater. Personally, I found Afterlife much better. Frozen Empire has many, many faults that completely surprised me (in a bad way). Too many “main characters”, the side “ghost friend” story was just stupid, the end resolution doesn’t make sense, and the teenager that knows how to do everything for the sake of knowing everything is just an overused trope that if I see again I might go postal. On top of that, the original cast barely has any impact on the plot and movie.
They were clearly trying to set up for spinoffs (girl, lab, family, ghost world) to squeeze the IP, but considering how badly frozen empire bombed I am pretty sure that this is the last “Ghostbusters” for a while if not forever. What a pity.

Since I already saw part I, my OCD demands I finish it and see part II
Lord... I want my time and energy back. I am the same, I watched part one... and well I cannot not see part two. This series is so bad it is laughable.
There are posts online about him wanting to making this a six part movie... Lordy!
Watched "The Iron Claw"... Wasn't bad, wasn't great. I feel for the family though. To have that much happen.
