#3: The King - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"A king has no friends. Only followers and foe."
Taking cues from the historical epics of Ridley Scott, The King forgoes historical accuracy in favor of dramatic tension, and while it performs its duties admirably, it's hard to find anything truly novel among the familiar.

#2: The Tragedy of Macbeth ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I have no words, my voice is in my sword."
Embracing the surreal dreamscapes of the stage & screen combined and boasting a murderers row of epic talent who inject new gravitas & swagger to this well trodden material.
This isn't your grandpa's Shakespeare.

#1: Macbeth ⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Full, full of scorpions, is my mind."
This competently directed, solidly performed take on Macbeth boasts decadently composed shot after shot, leaning into the dream like haze of the titular lead's descent into madness, but it never quite finds new texture to this well worn tale.

Week One: Swords and Shields
For the first week, I will be focusing on films set largely before the time of firearms when the emphasis in battle was hand to hand combat.

New year means new movie marathons! Those who know me know I've spent the last few years rigorously filling in the gaps in my cinematic knowledge, so my theme for the next two months is War Films! This first month will span up to about the end of WWII.
Marchathon begins!

However, beyond a strong & suitably spooky start, Night Country doesn't quite maintain that consuming sense of dread, & ontop of that a slew of hamfisted Easter eggs referencing the first seasons stronger & more terrifying iconography prevent this season from standing on its own somewhat thin ice.

As a lapsed fan of the show who holds season 1 in extremely high regard but missed subsequent outings, Night Country was a dip back into icy waters, & with a stellar line up of veteran actors & a showrunner whose breakout film, Tigers Are Not Afraid, I thoroughly enjoyed, my interest was piqued.

Episode 5: That Actually Hurt - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Written by Christine Lavaf
Directed by Jay Baker
My favorite episode of the season, possibly of the series, this one just fires on every cylinder, from the editing to the action to the character drama, it's just a master class in what this show can be.

Episode 4: Neil Armstrong, Eat Your Heart Out - ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Written by Ryan Ridley
Directed by Cory Evans
It's hard to deny that this feels like the roughest episode of the season, it makes a lot of sense when you consider it was their first to produce, but still, a solid outing with some rough edges

Episode 3: Who You Calling Ugly? - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Written by Chris Black
Directed by Jeff Allen
While I don't think the show wastes any time gaining steam, episode 3 feels like the first time the pieces are all in place and we just get to live in the world and watch things move naturally.

Written by Simon Racioppa
Directed by Paul Furminger
A solid follow up to the stellar premiere, introducing the other half of this shows phenomenal cast while managing to steadily move the narrative forward, almost feels like two episodes in one.

I especially love the new scenes, The Guardians v Maulers opening, Marks flying lesson, him and Debbie's talk about heroism and power, and the Martian Man snippet are probably my favorite changes.

I love that each episode manages to adapt multiple issues while still finding a solid central conflict. Episode 1 very faithfully adapts #1 but It also reworks plenty of scenes from #2 and then basically recreates #7 page for page (aside from a few adaptation changes).

Episode 1: It's About Time - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Written by Robert Kirkman
Directed by Robert Valley
Such a phenomenal first episode, the way it introduces almost all of the core cast, Establishes the premise AND subverts it masterfully is still so impressive.
