Red Sparrow (2018)
Not worth the time
To be honest it was the likeness to a Marvel Black Widow origin story which draw me to this film, but that's not what it is. It's a darker more disturbing vision of a young women pulled into a spiders web of lies for the love of the mother Russia than Marvel would ever concoct, but there's just nothing that drew me into the story. Niether the acting nor the writing did anything to hold my interest. For more action and more of a comic book story watch Atomic Blonde.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Once More, with Feeling (2001)
Proof that Joss Whedon is a genius...if you still need convincing
OK, I'll admit I was really sceptical about this episode. I first caught the last 10 minutes of this episode and thought "Oh no, a musical episode, this has got to be it, Buffy has jumped the shark" but having since seen the whole episode in the context of the rest of the series, this episode is pure genius. The songs really moves the story on. Through-out the first few episodes of the 6th season a number of tensions are built up between the characters, feelings and events occur which the characters keep to themselves. All the musical numbers are used as ways for the cast to reveal to each other things they didn't, couldn't, or wouldn't say. Joss wrote all the lyrics and music, with his usual depth, intelligence, and character development, plus the tunes are catch. This is not just a filler episode, its a turning point in the season. Pure class!!
