You can actually blow cold air out of your mouth. But laser eyes...
I watched:
The Kid Detective (Netflix rental) Canadian mystery movie staring Adam
Brody as a former "Kid Detective" who came to fame as a young teenager
for solving various "mysteries" in the local community. Now as an adult
he is still trying to cling to that childhood fame while continuing to
work as a detective. He mostly works on low level nothing cases, until
one day a teenage girl walks in and asks him to solve the case of her
murdered boyfriend. This was a pretty good movie. Not great, but very
watchable. It sort of also works as a sequel to "Timmy Failure:
Mistakes Were Made" with Timmy now all grown up.
Infinite (Paramount+) Some how or another, Paramount+ got their hands on
a real movie. I guess there are only so many movies Netflix and Amazon
can buy. Anyway this one is directed by Antoine Fuqua and stars Mark
Wahlberg as a Highlander, I mean immortal, who keeps getting
reincarnated and with every new life retains the knowledge and skills
from the former life. Except this time he has a bad case of amnesia and
thinks he has schizophrenia. His former team needs him to remember his
past life so they can stop Chiwetel Ejiofor, who is also immortal, but
wants to wipe out all life on Earth so he can finally stop
reincarnating. It's a glossy Michael Bay style action flick. On that
level it's watchable.
Clarice - "Achilles Heel" - The team seems to go on the offensive
against the evil rich guy who is sending his goons out to murder people.
I was only half paying attention.
Wu Assassins (Netflix streaming) - I think I watched another episode of
this. I'm really not keeping track all that well, but I am making my
way through it.
