On one hand, just 91 days til Halloween! On the other hand, days of heat advisories don't have me looking forward to August.
Series
Dexter: Original Sin (Paramount+)
Like most prequels, my initial thought was "Do we really need this?" The
surprise answer is yes! I enjoyed this a lot more than the New Blood season.
Whoever did the casting here needs an award. Not only was everyone great but
those playing characters from the original series absolutely nailed their
future selves. Thrilled to find out there will be another season.

Summer movie watching usually means one thing: sharks!
The Last Breath (2024, Shudder/Hulu)
The premise of a group of college kids diving a WWII wreck sounded
interesting, you need some reason to get the victims in the shark's
environment. From there, it's mostly an average "slasher" where they get
picked off one by one. It's "real life" so there's nothing crazy with the
shark but towards the end it does something I thought was silly which felt
more B-movie than they wanted this to be. This was Julian Sands final film
role and he was the one standout thing in the movie.
Rating: 4/10
