Solo: A Star Wars Story might be unnecessary and it’s also not all that memorable, yet it was entertaining enough for what it is and featured some fun action set-pieces and the performance from Ehrenreich.
Mission: Impossible II is easily my least favorite of the five movies in the series, not due to any technical issues, but Woo’s style did not fit in with the core feeling of a Mission: Impossible, not to mention Tom Cruise, as great and deadicated of an actor as he is, looked ridiculous performing kung-fu moves.
Gringo isn’t exactly a memorable film, but as dark comedies go, a subgenre I generally don’t enjoy, did have its funny moments excelling with its darkly charismatic cast led by David Oyelowo and even a deliciously terrifying, but funny, performance by Charlize Theron.
Westworld: Season One: The Maze isn’t perfect with some stretches meandering at times, but more than making up for it are some excellent performances from the likes of Hopkins, Harris, Newton and others.
Line of Duty: Series 4 is another solid entry into this BBC series that sees the addition of Thandie Newton into the lineup as perhaps the season antagonist and while she doesn’t exactly give a nuanced performance, I thought she fit in well.

“Rogue”: The Complete First Season, a series airing exclusively on DirectTV, is a well made crime-drama with great performances by Thandie Newton and Marton Csokas and a compelling story that keeps you engaged throughout the 10-episode long season.
Vanishing on 7th Street is a film with plenty of potential but poor execution especially in regards to the screenplay and characters that are either unlikable or are forgettable/unremarkable, a description that goes for the entire film in general. I would, however, give it a moderate recommendation if you can get it cheap as either a rental or purchase.
If there’s one thing you can count on in this crazy, mixed up world is Roland Emmerich directing a massively expensive disaster movie […] and even though I will always have a soft spot for Independence Day and the groundbreaking visual and special effects, I was actually fairly impressed with his latest, 2012.
