I saw Tears for Fears play in front of a massive crowd from the top of a French bus shelter many many moons ago (fete de La musique in June across France with free concerts all over, also saw Santana and a few others). I’m not generally a fan of many covers as now that puts the singer in the realm of the karaoke star, which is also why I never watched any of the pop idol series.
Back to movies:
Sniper: Rogue Mission on Netflix. No. Don’t do it. It’s ******* terrible.
Age of Heroes. Sean Bean is in this one about the origins of special operations groups during WWII. Older film (2011) but still quite good.

Not a bad flick but lacking some of that Guy Richie polish.
I seem to recall this exact schtick being used in another movie. As that movie didn't involve Aubrey Plaza, it would have been inferior.
Just watched "Life After Beth" last night and she does great deadpan unhinged.
"Reminiscence" on Netflix - It's an old school Film Noire movie, in a SciFi setting. Global Warming has raised sea levels to the point that Miami is under water. Even the habitable streets have a few inches of water in them, constantly, except for the homes of the ultra rich that are behind dams. There have been recent wars, but life goes on much as it does now. Stars Huge Ack-man, Rebecca Ferguson, and Thandiwe Newton. Very much recommended.
Set in 2024 then?
I like Emma Watson and this is pure pavlova.
Did not know she danced ballet professionally for 8 years. Thought she would have made enough off Harry Potter cycle for a life of leisure.
Top notch Brit cast and I need to get through a few British productions on my BritBox stream. I noticed Ghandi on the list.
ah I enjoyed that - reminded me of this ....but this one happens to be true.

The Social Dilema
Pretty scary. At the end all the tech execs say they don't lets kids on social media.
"NOPE" gets a yup from me. Jordan Peele knocked it out of the park again, for me at least.
Another good one, in the suspense/thriller genre is "The Menu." It stars Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, Hong Chau, and Nicholas Hoult. A bit of trivia that a friend filled me in on is that John Leguizamo based his character in it on Steven Seagal, because of how much he dislikes him.
EDIT - Here's a quote from him, about Seagal, that I just found.
"I've met lots of these stars like that, maybe before they were washed up," he says. "I mean, now they're washed-up. I kind of based mine on Steven Seagal. I had a bad run-in with him. We did a movie together. It was Executive Decision. He's kind of a horrible human."

I might just give "Filth City" a watch. I saw that it was either on Roku or Tubi; can't remember which. It's a fictionalized comedy version of the Rob Ford crack cocaine scandal.

Watched a few movies over the past little while
Tetris: was good
Avatar, the way of the water
Ant-man and the Wasp: Quantumania
- Both were okish nether bad or very good, Movies seem to becoming more like high end computer FX/Animation then traditional movies judging by these 2. Almost everything in the shots are computer generated.
Shazam Fury of the Gods: was meh, first one was better.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3 - franchise is a bit tired. Had its moments. NYT didn't much like it. Guardian a bit more positive.
This more positive yet.
Guardians of the Galaxy 3 is genuinely funny, surprisingly soulful — and very weird
