Over the weekend I watched 30 days of night (on Max). It's a fun film in a great location and scenario: What would happen if a remote town in Alaska got besieged by vampires during a month without sunlight? However, the vampires' motivations and behavior (like in so many movies) are shallow at best or contradict each other: If they have 30 sun free days of reign, why eat most of the town on day 1? They seem too feral to have a viable plan for later
Anyways, best not to overthink these things too much: 7/10 for me.
On Sunday I opted to give Marvel's Thunderbolts a chance and I was pleasantly surprised and even got involved with the characters and the plot, which in many ways mirrors the first Avengers movie. I didn't watch any previous movie/series that are referenced but it really was unnecessary (Although I may have to watch Captain America: Brave New World when it hits Disney+).
The standouts here are Florence Pugh (Yelena Belova) who tackles her role with gusto and goes into the dark memories/feelings I wish her sister Natasha Romanoff explored in her own movie, Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes) who goes into full Winter Soldier mode in one of the many good action sequences (which felt more practical than virtual) and Bob (no spoilers). 8.5/10 for me and I'm looking forward to Fantastic 4: First Steps.
