Now rewatching AnnaSophia Robb in the film Bridge to Terabithia.
I really like this film. I keep changing what I would mention as my favourite film (I have a list) but a long time ago the subject of favourite film came up at work and a colleague of mine and me at the same time said Bridge to Terabithia. Which is such an odd thing to happen, as it's not even that that many people have even heard of this film...
I'd say this film isn't that much underrated, as just not rated because it is quite unknown.
Anyway, AnnaSophia Robb is brilliant.

It's a fun quirky film, reminded me in some parts of Gregory's Girl though it's of course completely different.
At several moments in the film I caught myself thinking 'why is she like that' but then I realised we're all like that.

Today Emilia Clarke's new film The Pod Generation is available in cinemas, somewhere in the world, I didn't get where. Maybe UK, maybe US. Thursday 24 August it comes out in Dutch cinemas!

I tried to look for a ticket today in my country, but it turns out to not be released after all. There's no new date other than what seems like a placeholder date of 31 December 2023. I was looking forward to seeing Emilia Clarke on the big screen. Anyway, I have set a notification alert on that film.
Why do film companies always do this? They complain that they can't make enough money from people going to see the films, then when people do want to see the films they make it impossible to see them. I can't pay for a ticket if they don't sell them.

An interesting aspect of the US actors strike is that if an independent film accepts the union's proposal, work is allowed there. The same goes for small studios that are not part of the producers organisation with the abbreviation that I can never get right. The idea is that this proves that the union proposal is not unreasonable as the producers claim.
The studio A24 has done just that. Not recently, already a while ago, but this means A24 films are going full steam ahead. Providing income and proving the point. And the coming years may very well be A24's years, since the majority of films out will be theirs. Quite a good consequence of all this.

Just watched Jodie Foster in Hotel Artemis. She deserves a better script. I have no idea why she chose to do this.
Usually I try to find something positive to say, but I get no further than she's indeed in it.

Of course it's Aimee Carrero who has the best words, as always. Actors are on strike and of course they deserve to be paid properly for their work, even if it's on streaming, and deserve guarantees against misuse of AI, like the writers do.

StrikeFor the first time in over 40 years, union film
and television actors are on strike.I'm reflecting on the importance of unions.
Though *never* above reproach or
improvement, unions harness the power of
the collective.Together, we can alleviate the crushing
weight of unfettered capitalism.Together, we can slow the terminal spread of
endless consumption and growth-at-all-cost.At their best, unions represent the hope that
the worker is not a pawn, that The Man is not
invincible, and that the fight for human
dignity cannot and will not be deterred.Unions are the ever-rare reminder that
power is really in the hands of the people.See you on the picket line.

Finally watching Prey on Disney+, I am really slow at going through my watchlist. Pre-opening title we already have the twist that this tale which follows these 18th century indigenous people in the Americas also seems to involve spaceships and monsters. We'll see what it turns out to be.
The main character, a girl who wants to become a hunter, is played by Amber Midthunder and is super cool.

Saw Midsommar on Netflix. It's not quite a traditional horror film despite some gruesome scenes, but it relies more on what people do and why rather than on shocks. It doesn't really convince me because that 'why' aspect is not clear enough and because some of the themes I had already seen in Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes. It didn't help that Netflix didn't have English subtitles, including on the Swedish dialogue, and that the beginning of the film was filmed so dark that I still don't know what happened.
Some reviews I read afterwards mention some more troubling aspects of the story and they could be right. Some also mention the film being way too brightly lit and that's totally not the film I saw.

- As mentioned Natalie Portman was 12 during filming Léon
- Jodie Foster was 12 in Taxi Driver and got an Oscar nomination; the lesser known but maybe even better performance in The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane was in the same year
- Chloë Grace Moretz was also 12 in Let Me In where she did a very complicated character very touchingly
- Ivana Baquero carried Pan's Labyrinth at 11
- Dafne Keen was 11 when she drove everybody in Logan to up their game
- Alexa Nisenson was 11 when she put in a multilayered performance in Fear The Walking Dead. That's a tv series, but her performance is on a par with the above
Obviously they've done (or will do) great stuff later too and some like Chloë and Jodie did even earlier, but these are all goosebump performances.

Watching Jessie Buckley in Men. I don't see many films in the cinema, most only when they come out on streaming, but by that time the buzz and the marketing has gone and you're not reminded of it. So that's why I only see this one from last year now.
I've seen Jessie earlier in the tv (mini) series Taboo, War and Peace, The Woman in White and The Last Post, where she always impresses. Especially maybe Taboo.
An A24 film, available on Amazon Prime.

Wow!
This is by far, by far, the best film of the franchise. Jenna Ortega is amazing. The whole cast play their characters amazingly. The script includes proper characters unlike some horror films. Even if you're not into horror or slashers, this is still a big recommendation from me.

A comparison with Rosemary's Baby is unavoidable with such a synopsis, but I like the psychology of the woman better in this one. She's highly capable, strong, independent, and reasons for her state of mind go further than being pregnant. It's just the character of the man I didn't like.
That first scene, where she quickly sorted out the renovation her husband was stressing about, immediately set the tone. His non-acknowledgment of that, too.
Next week, it's Melissa again, but together with Jenna Ortega, as Sam and Tara respectively in Scream VI.

Why does imdb not have nice franchise lists... Wikipedia to the rescue and this article has a nice table overview: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underworld_(film_series)
I think I've seen the previous one (Underworld: Awakening), so I'm good to go for this last one.

It's a bit light on storytelling and on characterisation, but entertaining enough.
Maybe the "Dawn Alert!" over the PA system of the vampire coven was the best bit.
Selene does so much pining for her daughter Eve and others do so much searching for her, that maybe they should rewatch Underworld: Awakening and see India Eisley as Eve. Somehow the memory of that performance is what underpins this film.
