Hey there gang! Spotlight number 124. Wherein I up periscope, and survey the cinematic landscape to see what might be out there in the land of technicolor and see if we can’t find you something interesting to watch today.
BIRD BOX: BARCELONA
I had hoped that Cloverfield would have been as clever as Bird Box seems to be becoming. But it seems like J.J. threw that chance away. But Bird Box is going in great directions. I’m half way through watching this installment of the Bird Box series and i’ts a really clever flipping of the standard narration perspective. Really great spin around the Bird Box block.
FINAL CUT – 2023.07.14
Final Cut is an ultra-low budget indie meta zombie movie about a film crew filming a zombie movie that is going all wrong. Until the real zombies arrive that is. Sounds fantastic in a horrible way.
THE PRISONER’S DAUGHTER – Now
If it’s connected to Succession? I’m in. Brian Cox, hello sir!
THE JEWEL THIEF – 7.13.2023
This looks fantastic – a real life jewel thief telling stories of his real world heists and plans? Yes, please, count me in.
Want more films? Black Ice – a documentary about racism in the sport of hockey looks pretty fabulous. Also a movie called Afire looks extraordinary as well.
Previously on Spotlight Worth Mentioning:
THE BEAR S2 – Such an epically great show… can’t recommend enough.
DISCONTINUED – Great Indie outside the box film, definitely recommend.
REALITY – Real-time movie based on FBI interview audio. Intriguing!
