So my wife and I watched "Ripley" on Netflix.  It was quite good, although more of an artsy slow burn than a pulsating thriller. It's based on a series of novels about an American grifter who moves to Europe in the 1950s.  There was a movie starring Matt Damon, Jude Law and the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman about 15 years ago based on the 1st novel.  Also, @LabattBlue and others might be interested in the Netflix's show fantastic cinematography -- nearly the entire series is set in Italy.

The other interesting item about the show is that it stars a certain former Sabre's twin brother:

We just saw the new Beetlejuice movie. I loved the original (probably have seen it 15-20 times over the years), love the characters, and after seeing some 'pretty good' reviews overall, couldn't wait to see it.

I won't spoil anything or bring up anything specific, but I was really, really disappointed with it. Like it was a lot worse than I thought it could have been.  Not even close to the charm of the first, and the characters?  In the first I thought every character had a role in the movie, every character you loved or hated. In this one, 2/3s of everyone in the movie I could care less about.

Not to make a cheesy macabre joke, but the 'bare bones' were here for a decent story, but it was no where close to being 'fleshed out', not even close.

If anyone else saw It I'd like to hear opinions.

The Tragically Hip documentary - No Dress Rehearsal is just outstanding. If you are a fan of the band you will enjoy this effort by director Mike Downie (Gord’s brother). It’s a four part series with the final episode chronicling the passing of Gord.  The doc is streaming on AMZN prime.
