Virtuosity (1995). Denzel Washington is a convict who is a former cop, Russell Crowe is a homicidal A.I. Pretty cliche and forgettable.

30 Coins was pretty good; especially since I had no idea what to expect going in.
I'm actually on a Spanish TV binge, as I started to watch Money Heist (La Casa del papel). It's starting to get silly now in S.3, but the first two were pretty good.

Watching Magi, a show on Prime about four Japanese young men who journey as a sort of cultural ambassadors to Europe during the end of the warring states period.

The production has some flaws (the music is horribly chosen, some of the acting is pretty amateur, etc.) but nonetheless I am really enjoying it - it's an interesting reversal of the usual Shogun-style 'Europeans go to an exotic world of the East' adventure. Here, it is the West that is exotic - the boys end up in Renaissance Italy, filled with amazing art and assassinations. 😄 No doubt it would have been quite the experience, to show up in Florence at the height of the Medici.

Best part is that, while fictionalized of course, the embassy actually happened.

Do they all fall in love with the same identical twins, with hilarious results?

He makes an appearance in this one! 😄

... though not as a samurai.

The jesuits show up with a big Black dude, whom they give to Nobunaga as a present.

Also, a movie about this samurai was planned - it was to star Chadwick Boseman. But the actor died last August, leaving the production uncertain.

Oh fuck. I'd heard about that film in production and was tentatively excited but didn't put 2 and 2 together there.
A quick google suggests a netflix series in the making? Or is this that?

Apparently there's also a Samurai documentary coming out on Netflix, called (imaginatively) Age of Samurai?

Menendez Part 1: The Day of the Lord. Troubled ex-priest has to help a friend's daughter that the friend is convinced is possessed. There are certainly worse movies on this theme, but the movie is not important cinema. It's a very dark movie, literally. The chick is hot.

The premise sounds fucking awesome, but the execution will make it or break it.

A supernatural teen detective show starring Wednesday Addams at an Edgar Allan Poe inspired academy directed by Tim Burton.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.
