@MightyDemon82 — although not a movie, Aubrey Plaza was one of the main cast within «The White Lotus» season 2. She is/was incredible in that series, and plays very much 'against type' as a fairly inhibited and reserved character. The whole show is awesome, both seasons are great in fairness.

I've just been told that the extended cut of Ridley Scott's «Napoleon» has been made available on Apple TV. That's my Sunday afternoon sorted out, then.
Well that was disappointing. Great work from Vanessa Kirby and a couple of good battle sequences but not much else.
@LtSarge I consider myself a huge fan of the franchise and felt that it kept getting better and better and better with each movie… and I absolutely hated Dead Reckoning Part 1… with a passion

The teaser for Leigh Whannell's «Wolf man» just dropped and I think it looks very promising!
@FuriousMachine It was one of the best things I've seen so far this year — as I mentioned
