Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Beautiful to, if not must, see in a theater.
The movie is too long, with editors not pushing back enough. Other than the simplistic plot that clearly is setting up for Avatar 3, the love that was invested into this movie is a theater "must see."
The original is better in that it is concise enough to allow for repeat viewings. Story was simple enough to fit into a one-off movie. This movie shot itself in the foot by making the run time so long that (1) less screenings can occur per day + (2) no one will come back for a repeat viewing b/c it is so long.
Still an amazing movie. Definitely needs to be seen in a 3D theater, just like the first movie.
Ghislaine Maxwell: Filthy Rich (2022)
Engaging while misdirecting. A good effort.
Genuinely liked the amount of interviews & information provided. All very curated however, and while I can't fault what limitations the show-runners had to deal with to get so many interviews with "family & friends" of ghislane, this film stinks of propaganda.
At the end of the day Ghislane was thrown under the bus, more or less, to quash public curiousity & outrage. Same deal in this film as far as I can tell, except they add some sympathetic story threads for her.
Watching this film will not change anyone's mind who believes that Epstein was killed to send a message to others. The only story anyone gets to hear is that he was the devil, and NOTHING else happened.
