The Night Runner (2019)
Very good mini-series
I really enjoyed this. Hope it becomes a longer regular series. Very good premise. It doesn't say exactly where her super strength comes from. Many people find temporary super strength in critical situations, like a mother lifting something heavy to save a child. What would happen if it was permanent? Perhaps that's what happened here. At any rate, it is short but well done.
Undone (2019)
great story with non-ending
Really got into this, but was very disappointed with the worn out ambiguous ending style. It's as bad as having the main character wake up to find it was all a dream. If a story is worth telling, it is worth an appropriate ending. This ending made the whole thing just a waste of time.
Captain Marvel (2019)
Way better than expected...
I had read a lot of reviews and they really are mixed. Seems people either love it or hate it. So I didn't go in with high expectations. However, I was blown away! It is an awesome movie I will definately watch over an over! Don't get scared off by the negative reviews, see it with your own eyes and you will not be disappointed. Brie Larson is fantastic and I cannot imagine anyone else doing a better job. She IS Captain Marvel, totally! We had a blast watching this movie and I cannot wait to see it again! Stay for the credits, there are two scenes. One fairly early in the credits and another towards the end.
Manifest (2018)
Great show except...
...the character of Grace Stone makes no sense. She doesn't want to lose her son again but seems clueless that her husband Ben is the one saving him. So what does she do? She kicks Ben out! She clearly does not love Ben anymore and is looking for any excuse to get rid of him to go back to Danny. She is an annoying, offputting character that I wish was not in this show. Other than that, the show is flawless and presents a very intriguing story. Would be a solid 8 without Grace Stone.
El guardián invisible (2017)
Good movie, strange ending
Spoilers follow! We really enjoyed this movie. But the ending left us puzzled and with a lot of unresolved questions. Did the Basajuan put the tree in the road to cause the accident? If that accident had not happened, Amaia never would have found the cabin and her older sister would have still killed Victor and saved the young girl. She only found the cabin because the Basajuan pulled her from the car and then lead her to it. So in a way, other than figuring out it was Victor, Amaia didn't really solve anything. In fact, her partner had already figured out it was Victor on his own. And it was he who found the connection between the earlier killings and the recent ones. So when you consider all that, why did she get so much credit at the end? If I were her partner I would not be happy about that.
There are many other questions unresolved too. The scene where her Aunt does the Tarot card reading ends with a card that seems to indicate the Devil is after Amaia, but that is never pursued anywhere in the movie. In fact, other than the point that the killer is "very close" the whole scene seems a bit out of place. So what was that all about? Also, why was her mother so crule to her and not her other sisters? Did her sisters not know about it? What happened to her Father? And why did the fact that Victor visited her mother regularly and brought her flowers trigger her realization that Victor was the killer?
Despite all that, we still enjoyed the movie and we hope at least a few of these questions will be answered in the next two movies. Of course, we could always read the books too and that may clear some of it up. All in all, this is definately worth watching!
