THiNC. Movie Spotlight #42 – The only thing I’m watching this week? Dune. Dune… and more Dune. IMAX tickets, I’m stoked. Denis Villeneuve? Here I come baby!! Not interested in Dune, it’s okay, because we at THiNC. have you covered.
Intrusion – Netflix – Thanks for this suggestion Lisa… “When a husband and wife move to a small town, a home invasion leaves the wife traumatized and suspicious that those around her might not be who they seem.” Hrmm. What was that other home invasion movie that folded in on itself. It was about a couple that accidentally hit someone? And they bring him back to their house to bury him? Do you guys remember that movie? I did a write up on it here on THiNC. but for the life of me I can’t think of the title.
Laetatia – HBO MAX – The elements of the crime are somewhat routine. An acting girl meets an inappropriate guy who does something wrong and panics. Death occurs. The reactions to the crime and the directors’ origins are not routine. Based on the 2011 murder of 18-year-old Laëtitia Perrais and Ivan Jablonka’s 2016 book Laëtitia or the End of the People.
Mayday – Rent on Prime – Ana (Grace Van Patten) finds herself transported to a dreamlike and dangerous coastline. Once there, she joins a female army engaged in a never-ending war where the women lure men to their deaths with radio signals, like 20th century sirens. Though Ana finds strength in this exhilarating world, she comes to realize she is not the killer they want her to be. Thanks for the suggestion Nancy!
