Right, I saw House of Gucci, quite excited about it as a fashion and luxury goods fan. I left rather underwhelmed... probably too much hype around it which gave me a skewed expectation.
Good movie to understand the mystique behind Gucci.

I couldn't help but notice in the Matrix sequel, Resurrections, that the threat to humans is arguably the most prominent thematic divergence from the original series.

I haven't seen any commentary remarking on these facts, but they seem pretty significant to me, and can't have been anything but a deliberate directorial choice.

Saw Munich 1938 the other week - solid movie, gives a good impending danger feel of what happened.

Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
The new Top Gun movie is surprisingly excellent. Would highly recommend everyone go see it in theaters, in IMAX if possible.

Watched the new Batman the other day. It was alright, but I didn't get the hype. In general, I appreciated the more realistic perspective (DC's obsession with extraterrestrial threats has become tiresome), but the story had quite a few holes, in my opinion. The last part also felt unnecessary and anticlimactic. Overall, I didn't regret watching it, but I was a bit disappointed, because my expectations were apparently too high.
On the other hand, that Hitler comedy was amazing. Funny, but without making you feel sympathetic towards Hitler, which is the most difficult trap for such movies. I found it much more enjoyable than Jojo Rabbit, whose start was great, but whose second part became too melodramatic and predictable.

Watched Top Gun Maverick about two weeks ago, wonderful movie. The usual Hollywood cheese sometimes but great cinematography.

If you havent watched the new Prey movie, I would highly recommend. Definitely revitalizes the whole Predator franchise.

Going to add a +1 recommendation for The Menu. A really delightful thriller/dark comedy film.
