Not a film but a documentary about the eruption on white island three years ago.
In today´s day and age, there is something fascinating and uncomfortable to see the vid a guy takes from his phone just before they start to run for their lives.
The controversy with the official rescue services not doing anything is mentioned. All the guys on the tour companies behaved in an exemplary way...it´s quite powerful. The sequels of the burns are something awful for the survivors. On Netflix.

It's worth watching the movie, just for this scene.

We watched Freaks (1932) which she never even heard of before.
And only a second time für mich.
To my regrets, regular TV which is now essentially crap used to still show movies like that up until the late 90s.
I believe I watched it the first time on Arte or something, during my high school years and it was on the second part of the evening ‘cause a fairly disturbing movie.
I would assume most everybody here know it and have watched it before. I just wanted to make the point about todays TV.
Incredible, twisted story of a revenge.

The Pale Blue Eye.
It's good, but could have been better if they had removed part of the ending.
The Menu is also interesting, or at least entertaining.
A bit predictable maybe. Or at least not too hard to predict where things are going, but the movie is constructed in a neat way.

'Avatar 2'
with Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang et al.
Jake Sully (Worthington) has built a new life for himself on Pandora and started a family with his Na'vi wife Neytiri (Saldana). When Colonel Quaritch (Lang), reborn in a Na'vi body, returns to seek revenge and break the Na'vi resistance on behalf of humanity so that Pandora can finally be colonised, the Sullys flee to an ocean-dwelling Na'vi clan. With their help, they fight back.
Visually stunning, but one could tell in the cinema already that this flick would be boring if watched at home. It's all visuals and no substance. You could've easily cut off 60-90 minutes and tell the same story. I also found the Sully children to be extremely annoying. Maybe their portrayal was to increase the contrast between "half-blood" and "real" Na'vi, but it's extremely irritating to see them act up in a world of "noble savages" like teenagers from 2022 American suburbia. Yo bro, chill! – that's the new Na'vi for you. And out goes what's left of my suspension of disbelief …

This was pretty much my impression from the first one - obnoxiously self-righteous and tedious space Pocahontas. By the end of the movie I was cheering for the poor humans, who made all this sacrifice by traveling half-way across the galaxy in order to do the hard and dangerous work of mining desperately needed resources, whilst trying to bring the gift of civilization to the ungrateful and warlike locals. I didn't even consider to go watch the second part.
Apparently even for the people on the left it all was a little too much:
Indigenous people are criticizing the 'Avatar' sequel for relying on tired tropes | CNN
"Avatar: The Way of Water," the much-anticipated sequel to James Cameron's 2009 sci-fi blockbuster, isn't subtle in its message about the ills of colonialism and imperialism. But despite its lofty aims, some Native filmmakers and viewers feel the franchise doesn't live up to those ambitions.

The Biggest disappointment i found with the film that it never bothered to film of the Court scenes . regarding the law suit against the Water company .. and the film also failed to mention the figure the company had to pay out ..
