Creed III (2023)
The Fight for Los Angeles
Threequels in general are usually disappointments, but there wasn't a moment where Creed III lost my interest. Jonathan Majors shows just what a bestial adversary he can be, proving that he absolutely has the acting chops given strong writing to work with. His intimidating presence in this film surpasses any "recent films" of note he may have starred in.
Michael B. Jordan makes an incredibly strong directing debut, heightening the fight scenes into something surreal and dreamlike. The chemistry between he and Tessa is believable, and helps invest the viewer into the story.
My only real complaint is that the plot was very transparent and predictable. I'd even go so far as to say there was some missed potential in exploring Adonis' youth. However, overall, Creed III is a worthy successor to franchise, and shouldn't be overlooked by fans of the series.
Raised by Wolves (2020)
For Fans of the First 10 Minutes of Prometheus
Inexplicable, hard sci-fi that never fully shows its hand. When I say "hard" sci-fi, I mean like as in Got was to fantasy, RbW is to Science Fiction; And brought to you by the creator of Alien, no less. Fans of David Lynch may also feel at home with this one.
If you liked just the first 10 minutes of Prometheus, it's like they took that stretched that weirdness over two seasons. The acting is superb, especially for such a nebulous story arc. Each week, it's tough to say which is my favorite character. I can't get enough, Praise Sol.
