Malévoz 

A trio of girls form a band and enter a singing competition together after learning they work best as a team.

Slip on your favorite dungarees and spend the day on the east coast of New Zealand before the 90s.

If you were to watch it on streaming when you have nothing to do, it’s still probably a giant waste of time, but you could do far worse.  Paying $18 for a movie ticket and who knows how much for concessions turns this from an exercise in boredom to an exercise in frustration. 

Rather than focusing on the bleak, cynical aspects of life post-pandemic, the focus is optimistic and hopeful.

Hulu continues its Summer releases with The Princess. This film follows the princess (yes, she is unnamed) as she attempts to escape her tower, refusing to be wed to a cruel man vying for the throne. Action-packed and snarky, this is a decently fun film if you need a fighting fix.

Despite everything it was capable of, all of these poor choices strung together amount to nothing more than a counter-productive film.
