Billie Eilish – Hit Me Hard and Soft: The Tour (Live in 3D) (2026) - Yeah what a title. My wife likes Billie, I actually do too to a lesser extent, but what really happened is Jim Cameron co-directed it and she used that to get me to take her to it.

But, it was still a fairly entertaining concert film. We did see it in 3D, and as always it doesn't seem to work very well for me. It's like I only partially see it in 3D - I hypothesize it has something to do with my right eye being very dominant and seeing color slightly differently. But whatever. That aside, the production is good, you get some well-crafted framing and camera usage, and Cameron himself appears and interviews Billie a little. It's not exactly deep, but it's literally a pop star concert film, so not really expected. One interesting thing is how they use the endless numbers of concert goers filming as part of the framing (I swear, it must be 1 in 3 people at any one time), probably the only choice these days. But god damn, would that make her concerts utterly miserable for me!

APEX (2025) After losing her husband in an extreme mountain climbing accident, Sasha (Charlize Theron) goes white water kayaking in a remote part of Australia, trying to process her grief and guilt. But then she encounters a psychotic killer who is hunting her for sport. Can she turn the tables on her pursuer, or will she wind up as another victim? It's a bit of a cliched plot but very well executed and beautifully filmed. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. 4/5

"Casino Royale" (2006)
Daniel Craig's debut as James Bond also serves as a "reboot" for the series, as Bond has just earned his double-0 status and has to face off against an international terrorist (Mads Mikkelson) in a high stakes, life-or-death game of poker. The best of Craig's 007 entries.

Thanks! I actually envisioned the end first and then wrote the story around it.

Sorry, but I don't think that's a person's name. Per AI: "The title comes from the names of two fictitious real estate developments—Glengarry Highlands and Glen Ross Farms..." Glen Ross Farms might have originally been named after a person, though, I suppose.

urgh, it's a 'maybe'... can't be bothered to re-number. (should've minused one for IRON MAN really so we're about right.)
