It’s actually kind of old, and it’s a movie & series combo. I only found out about the movie after having watched the series. In hindsight, i would recommend watching the movie first because the series really builds on the character. So watching them in reverse order leaves the movie feeling a little unfinished.
There’s a movie from 2005 called “The Magician”. If it could be summed up, i’d say it’s as if Kevin Smith filmed a mockumentary about an ethical hitman. Ell oh ell! A bit of comedy, drama, action, and some really interesting dialogue exchanges.

In 2018, the series “Mr. Inbetween” picks up with our main character from the film, continuing in his strange but intriguing and compelling ways. The main character is portrayed by the same actor. So other than nearly fifteen years passing, the transition is smooth. The series episodes are unusual for a “drama” in that they are half-hour episodes. So it’s really easy binging fodder. It’s also much more than a drama. It’s definitely a genre bender.

I haven't watched TV or read a good book in such a long time but the first thing that popped into my head when you asked that was Fifty Shades of Gray I watched like 15 minutes of it and I read maybe like 20 pages of the book

And for me there was just something off I mean The scenes that I seen On TV They were okay but they were not great And the things that I've read in the book they were okay but they were not great they had many opportunities to just blow it out of the water And they didn't even Come close I don't think I mean it was okay but it wasn't what they made it into be I would like to make Another 50 Shades of Gray or something similar Or write a book like that but I would need a partner Because I want to bounce things off of them them

I just started watching a show called, Beat Bobby Flay, on the Food Channel. I'm impressed that he prepares and cooks foods he's never made before but almost always wins going against chefs, that actually pick the dish, because it's their specialty. I think you like cooking and trying new things? A lot of good recipes and it's fun to watch!

I've been watching the show the last thing he told me, its on apple I believe. I read the book and so far it seems like a pretty good adaptation.

I just finished “Shōgun” on FX/Disney+ and I’d 100% recommend it 😍
Stunning visuals, slow-burn political drama, and a really respectful take on Japanese culture. Every frame looks like a painting, and the performances (especially Hiroyuki Sanada) are insane.

For a movie, “Poor Things” blew me away: bizarre, artsy, funny, and visually gorgeous 🎨📽️

Castlevania and Castlevania Nocturne highly recommend both if you check them out do Castlevania first then Nocturne because Nocturne is a sequel.

Wistoria: Wand and Sword also a very good anime.

Black Clover is a classic

My status as an assassin obviously exceeds the hero's another good one and with the older classic anime style you don't see much of these days

A returner's magic should be special that's a good one the webtoon is also really good for it.

Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy another pretty good one.

Honestly the only movie that left a real impression on me in the past few years that it actually became one of my favourite movies is Passengers. If you haven't watched it before, it's a great watch, but that's just me. I liked the romantic aspect of it, and I liked the philosophical aspect of it.

If you do happen to have not watched it and decide to give it a shot, ignore the ratings rotten tomatoes gave it (30%) and letterboxd (2.9/5) and approach it with an open mind.

Iron_Man · Answer

This is the best movie of all times you’ll love it 👍🏻

For a futuristic and intricate take on Braveheart, I'd recommend Westworld. It's about tech, human nature and liberation. Plus there's an out of tune piano playing, here and there. It's rather on the dark side though.

For a philosophical comedy in the afterlife, dealing with good and evil, karma and purgatory, or ethics and trolleys, I'd recommend The Good Place. Plus there are numerous mentions of Phoenix. AZ.

Nothing that came out recently. Rather a show that hit home a couple days ago after seeing the intro.  Great stories for parents to show/watch with their children even 40 plus years later.

I haven't seen anything decent in years, but then again, I don't have much attention span for TV shows and movies.  Something has to be truly awesome for it to keep my interest.
