Ava (2020)
Awaiting release
The film sounds like it copied or was heavily inspired by The Killer 1989 starring Chow Yun Fat. I will update my review upon release in America.
Magnum P.I. (2018)
I dig it
I have only seen a few episodes but do remember it coming on TV before as a kid in the 80's so I do like the original and it is enjoyable enough that they rebooted it for a new generation.
Watchmen (2019)
Gritty Hardboiled take on the scifi superhero comic book
I actually enjoy it more than the film. It'd be cool if they added more action to the fight sequences but they aren't bad. It is pretty cool that they added some Black and Asian culture and history to the American story, and it sounds like Regina King worked hard in learning Vietnamese as I notice a lot of actors don't put any effort into learning Asian languages very well (the other exception being Don Cheadle speaking very fluent Cantonese in Rush Hour).
Batwoman (2019)
missing a lot
The way they shoehorned the story is not good. the original had batwoman as more independent and creating her own gadgets and lucious was more strong as a character but they made him bumbling and they just stole all of bruce wayne's inventions. the lesbian romance was a bit dry, missing emotional content and conviction. the fight choreography was not very good either. the fx were very cheesy. expected a bit more out of it.
Lady and the Tramp (2019)
excellent remake, captures the spirit of the original
Great remake and glad to see it give opportunities to other actors who are not white for this rendition.
