The Old Way (2023)
Not a classic western...BUT
... it tells a great story from a different perspective.
If you are in it to see a "John Wayne" style movie - you might be disappointed. It's a rapid journey of character development into the mind of sociopath that involves a daughter that possibly has the same tendencies.
Nicholas Cage is actually great in this flick. Nothing over the top, or what can be considered "Nicholas Cage-y" (esque?) but with all things Nicholas Cage, he brings it - and he's awesome in this one.
The plot isn't that thick and the outcome is semi-predictable but the journey hooks you and that's all that really matters. The father-daughter relationship that unfolds is the more compelling part of this flick and definitely worth seeing.
You won't get over the top action - BUT - you'll get a fantastic story with some western style shootouts. A definite must watch for me.
Return to Space (2022)
Highly informative and interesting
I'm not a huge fan of documentaries but I actually watched this from beginning to end and it held my attention throughout. Somebody already said it - I knew part of the story but this really filled in a lot of the pieces about the space industry as a whole.
The film also gives decent insight into the character of Musk and his intentions regarding space travel. He shows genuine care about the mission and the people involved.
Highly recommend even if you hate Musk - still provides a great view of the mission of space travel over the past couple of decades.
