The seven-word summations keep on coming...

"Page Eight" and "Phantom Menace" were rewatches.

* "All The President's Men" (1976) [Netflix]: Political expose deserved classic for many reasons.

* "City Hunter" (2024) [Netflix]: Sexist, silly, melee-tastic, melodramatic, true to source.

* "Justice League - Warworld" (2023) [Netflix]: Wild West/barbarian-fantasy/alien-conquest anthology. BUT: Surprisingly violent, questionable characterisation, poorly linked, BORING.

* "Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning, Part 1" (2023) [Paramount+]: MacGuffin, threats, fights, bluffs, pursuits, eye candy. AND: Dunno if I'll bother with second half. 

* "Nefarious" (2023) [Prime Video]: Psychological horror. Award-worthy acting. Fumbled ending.

* "Page Eight" (2011) [Netflix]: Slowburn telemovie puts blockbuster espionage to shame.

* "Secrets Of The Neanderthals" (2024) [Netflix]: Evocatively framed archaeological debunking, spelunking, new thunking.

* "Star Wars - The Phantom Menace" (1999) [Disney+]: Made peace with all ultragarbage except Binks.

<<< Pick of the bunch is "All The Prez's Dudes". >>>
