Friday: Sinners (2025)
This movie is set in the early 1930s. Two black twin brothers, Smoke and Stack, return home to Mississippi after running into trouble in Chicago. They plan to open a juke joint on some land they just bought. They plan to do it one day. Smoke reconnects with his wife hoping she will help cook. As well as getting food and help from the Asian grocers in town. Stack helps to gather the musical talent and spread the word of the opening. Their main attraction being their little cousin, Sammie, how has an amazing voice. That night it seems to be a success. Then some strangers arrive who want in. There is something off about them so they aren't allowed in. Turns out they are vampires. They slowly start turning people. Smoke, Stack, and the others have to try to survive the night. I thought this movie was good. It was really well done. Interesting to see vampires in the south during that time. The same actor, Michael B. Jordan, plays Smoke and Stack. He does a great job. I'm always intrigued by movies or TV shows where the same actor plays one or more versions of themselves. Twins, clones, multiple personalities, etc.
Saturday: Ondine (2009)
Syracuse is an Irish fisherman. One day he catches a young woman in his net. She has no memory of who she is or how she got there. She doesn't want to be taken to the hospital or see anyone else. So Syracuse takes her to his mom's old house. Later he takes his daughter, Annie, to dialysis. He tells her a story about a fisherman catching a woman in his net. Annie thinks it sounds like a selkie. A magical creature that turns from a seal to a human on land. After seeing the young woman, who names herself Ondine, Annie is convinced she is a selkie. Syracuse and Annie both become close with Ondine. Not all is at it seems. This movie was alright.
