American Animals, which tells the story of 4 university students, wanting excitement in their lives, robbing their university library of rare books, is an interesting flick, in that it’s not your typical true story based movie. More rather, as the movie says in it’s opening, it IS a true story. And right from the opening scene, it establishes it rather quickly, though not in the ways you’d expect.

Rebel Moon, or more accurately, Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire, is a 2023 Sci-Fi opera movie from Netflix, being their attempt to compete with Disney/Star Wars, having touted and advertised this for a couple of years. It’s written and directed by Zack Snyder, who I’ve come to realise that I actually don’t like as a filmmaker.

Heart of Stone is Netflix’s latest attempt at creating a franchise, akin to what they did with The Old Guard (which was also produced by Skydance). Though unlike The Old Guard, this wasn’t as successful as it got mediocre reviews. And part of why it failed, in my opinion, was due to the movie’s main character, Rachel Stone (played by Gal Gadot).
