Saw the new Paul WS Anderson flick In The Lost Lands and fell asleep during the big climax. Which is a perfect encapsulation of the movie.

I also saw Opus the new thriller from A24 and it was a fun watch, but I don't think essential. If you like what A24 does and want to see John Malkovich knock it out of the park as a multi decade weirdo pop star then check it out.

I saw #InTheLostLands last night. The plot is a bit thin, stretched from a GRRRRR Martin short story. I liked it visually and I thought the two leads did well with the material. The sound has the compression problem too typical of movies with wide dynamic range. Overall I enjoyed it much more than reviews would lead you to expect.

In the Lost Lands

Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson; starring Milla Jovovich, Dave Bautista; adapted by Paul W.S. Anderson, Constantin Werner (1h41m)

A witch and a hunter brave a post-apocalyptic wasteland to find a werewolf and steal his power.

Some original world-building and decent action. But the script wavers between cheap clichés and clever twists outside of Anderson's skill set with the overall vibe that of a direct-to-DvD Mad Max rip-off.
