Into the 'Ryanverse'

» After a three-year pause due to the pandemic, the long-awaited action-thriller series Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan is finally back to Prime Video and on our screens for its third season. Often referred to as America's version of James Bond, Jack Ryan is based on characters from the fictional "Ryanverse" political drama created by author Tom Clancy. The man is a CIA analyst and multitalented individual who's always saving the day. Season 3 also sees the return of John Krasinski as Jack Ryan, a role once played by a number of famous actors such as Harrison Ford, Alec Baldwin, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine, with Krasinski being the fifth to do so.
Come for the comedy, stay for the music

» I'm usually quite sceptical when it comes to Will Ferrell's movies. Although I think he's a fairly funny guy, I also know that his trademark over the top blustering slapstick sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. But since the new musical comedy Eurovision Song Contest: The Story Of Fire Saga was directed by David Dobkin, who directed the decent Wedding Crashers (2005), and with Ferrell who co-wrote and produced the film, I decided to give this new Netflix feature a try. While I don't think this comedy is necessarily funny, the production value, the pacing, the music and choreography are surprisingly well done. And especially the romcom of the two lead characters Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams is sweet, heartfelt, and definitely worth the watch.
