The Thursday Murder Club brings together a strong cast, with Helen Mirren delivering a sharp yet heartfelt performance, Jonathan Pryce bringing a moving depth to his role, and Naomi Ackie adding welcome energy to the ensemble. The acting is easily the film's strongest feature, elevating the story with charm and emotion.
That said, while the film is packed with intrigue, the central mystery itself left something to be desired. The investigation didn't quite land in a satisfying way, and the attempt to weave together two different storylines felt more muddled than seamless.
Overall though, I still enjoyed the film.
P.s. This should definitely have been a series.

Thunderbolts* felt like a refreshing shift for Marvel, leaning more into emotion than spectacle. Florence Pugh truly shined, especially alongside Lewis Pullman, and David Harbour balanced humor with genuine heart. Sebastian Stan also delivered a strong performance that grounded the film.
What stood out most to me was the emotional weight-it gave the story depth and resonance, making it feel "different" from the usual Marvel formula. That said, I did feel like the emotional beats weren't always seamlessly woven into the film's flow. At times, the heavy moments didn't fully carry through, and I wish the movie had committed to that tone all the way.
Even so, I really enjoyed it. It was good, heartfelt, and-most importantly-a clear step in the right direction for Marvel.

The Last Rhino: A New Hope delivers a heartfelt and faith-tinged message about preservation and stewardship over God's creations. The documentary's central theme-that rhinos are on the brink of extinction and we have a responsibility to protect them-is powerful and timely.
That said, the film struggles in execution. Beyond the surface-level point that rhinos are endangered, the educational depth felt lacking. I wanted more facts, context, and practical insight into the problem and possible solutions, but instead the story leaned heavily on sentiment without substance.
The ending, too, felt abrupt and unfinished-almost as if half a documentary had been made and then simply cut short. Instead of concluding with hope or a call to action, it left me with the sense that something essential was missing.
In the end, while the message shines, the documentary doesn't quite fulfill its potential. It raises awareness, but without the depth and closure that could have made it truly impactful.
