This 12 minute documentary was essentially a long trailer for the upcoming MCU Disney+ shows. It consisted of the announcements and information that came from SDCC and D23 this past year. There wasn't any new info on the Ms. Marvel, Moonknight, and She-Hulk series. The only new footage was some behind the scenes stuff. And hey, I'll look at Tom Hiddleston's profile for an extra 10 seconds.

What struck me as interesting was the amount of time spent on the Hawkeye show, considering the drama with Jeremy Renner. I guess that means they're not planning on firing him? I'm assuming that they'll probably minimize his role in the show, if anything.

Interesting but disappointing
The director of Under the Skin shows us an interesting dynamic play out when a ten year old boy enters the scene while a wealthy man is engaged to a woman who had lost her husband 10 years earlier.

The young boy claims to be her dead husband come back to life in this small body. The young man wants to reenter the woman's life and wants her not to marry her current beau. The woman starts to struggle with her feelings, especially the ones she thought she had put behind her and she has to make some difficult choices.

The film is interesting and well acted by Nicole Kidman, but I feel the payoff was not that fulfilling and some scenes were sort of scrapped together with no real point.

There were a few awkward scenes between Nicole Kidman and the young boy which made me cringe in my seat a little which were kind of hard to watch.

A little disappointed.

Original Vampire Film
A very cool, unique and classy vampire film. It's 9 years from now and nearly everyone is a vampire. However with not so many humans around producing blood the vampires are starving and becoming more like mindless bat-like creatures. Is there a way to save both vampires and humans?
I really like the ideas behind the vampire world and how life and technology has adapted to their needs. A good cast, slick visual effects, some bloody scenes and a pretty good story that is more original than most, move this towards the top of the food-chain for Vampire films!
