★★★
King T'Challa returns home to the reclusive, technologically advanced African nation of Wakanda to serve as his country's new leader. However, T'Challa soon finds that he is challenged for the throne by factions within his own country as well as without. Using powers reserved to Wakandan kings, T'Challa assumes the Black Panther mantle to join with ex-girlfriend Nakia, the queen-mother, his princess-kid sister, members of the Dora Milaje (the Wakandan 'special forces') and an American secret agent, to prevent Wakanda from being dragged into a world war.
Working through the Infinity Saga with the children (9/11), instantly became the eldest’s favourite. He watched it again the next day. He hasn’t wanted to immediately rewatch any of the MCU up until now.
★★★★

He awakens back at the beginning of the same day and is forced to fight and die again... and again - as physical contact with the alien has thrown him into a time loop.
Maybe there is a limit to how many times you can watch this and enjoy it at its best.
If there is, this was one time too many for me.
★★★★
An idyllic summer turns into a nightmare of unspeakable terror for yet another group of naive counselors. Ignoring Camp Crystal Lake's bloody legacy, one by one they fall victim to the maniacal Jason who stalks them at every turn.
While slashers, especially of this era, are not FAMED for their character development they do actually have characters. I’m surprised many of the “kids” in this even have names. They could just as easily be credited as Stoner #1, Stoner #2, Annoying kid. I feel like the only two people we get to know anything about are the couple that own the store.
There were two stand outs for me, though:
1) The death, and body reveal, of the guy that walks on his hands is definitely in my top 10 favourite horror deaths
2) Once the final girl earns that title she is absolutely ace (though possibly I might have gone for the decapitation “just to make sure”)
★★
A rich man learns about a guru who can see without using his eyes. He sets out to master the skill in order to cheat at gambling.
I liked this a great deal. I have never watched a Wes Anderson and have no intention of watching any more.
★★★
