Watched this as we were looking for something uncomplicated. Lots of action and decent fight choreography. The list of stuntmen was huge. Glenn Close really channeled Julie Andrews in this one. The two leads are cute together but there wasn’t a lot of chemistry between them.
If it does well enough in viewers I bet we’ll see ‘Still in Action’ in ’26.
I recently finished this book after having it in my ereader for YEARS. I bought it originally because it had Wil Wheaton’s first fiction sale in it. (It’s a decent story.) It’s a great idea for a collection; shorts (there’s even a poem) that detail events from the first movie from alternate POVs. There are sequels covering the next two movies of the original trilogy as well, and proceeds were donated to a book charity, at least when originally published. I will probably look for the next two, but who knows how long it will take to read them! 😉
It took me some time to do it, but I recently finished watching the first two seasons of Invincible on Amazon Prime Video. Based on the comics series from Image Comics, so far the story has stayed fairly close to what was published, right down to having a special episode with Atom Eve’s backstory. Based on what’s been covered so far, I believe there will be one more season of the animated series.
This is NOT a show for children. There is blood, and gore, and adult themes all over the place. But, just like the comics it’s based on, I don’t think there’s ever been a better exploration of the idea of what becoming and being a superhero means.
