Shotgun Wedding (2022) - Darcy and Tom gather their families for the ultimate destination wedding but when the entire wedding party is taken hostage the bride and groom must save their loved ones--if they don't kill each other first.
Ugh, I only watched this to please a friend. Jennifer Lopez still looks great, though. 4/10

I apologize if I'm explaining the obvious, but I really liked that aspect of the film. I rated it 8/10.

Of all of his movies, Get Out is my favorite. I love the social commentary of that movie so much - I love even more the people who don?t get that it pertains to them.

Agreed. It was pretty bad.

How does Amazon have all this money and makes some lackluster or really bad streaming media content? I just don't get it.
Jack Ryan and The Boys are the only shows/movies I've enjoyed by them. It's by far our most least watch streaming service.

Carnival Row is an underrated gem, season 2 just started last week. The Man In The High Castle, The Expanse, and Reacher are all excellent.

Oh yea - Reacher. We did like that one too. I found Man In The High Castle moved at a snails pace for me so we lost track of it.
Look at us derailing a movies thread with TV chatter

Get Out was groundbreaking for sure. I completely understand its inclusion in the most recent once-in-a-decade Sight and Sound Greatest Films of All Time poll. Us was entertaining, but I found the premise way too far-fetched. That's the movie I liked the least.

If you're looking for good content on Amazon, watch The Handmaiden. That movie is pure fire.
Edit: I just remembered I also loved The Underground Railroad on Amazon--based on the book about a fantasy of a literal underground railroad that transported runaway slaves north. Beautifully done. Maybe the only project on the topic of slavery that I can revisit.

Since slavery is being mentioned, I’m curious to see if the Epstein sex slavery issue will ever be touched in movie or TV form.

I Am Love (2009) - Emma left Russia to live with her husband in Italy. Now a member of a powerful industrial family, she is the respected mother of three, but feels unfulfilled. One day, Antonio, a talented chef and her son's friend, makes her senses kindle.
I used to think this movie was near-perfect and have followed director Luca Guadagnino's other projects since. Rewatching it now on Valentine's Day, I can see its rough edges and how Guadagnino has grown and refined his craft most notably in Call Me by Your Name and We Are Who We Are--even in his sprawling Suspiria remake. However, I still consider this movie to be a winner thanks to Tilda Swinton's performance. 9/10
