3. Nimona
It is a 2023 animated fantasy Adventure film directed by Nick Bruno and Troy Quane the plot centers on baluster bold heart a warrior in a modern version of the Middle Ages who is accused of an offense he did not commit baluster has been trained to kill shape-shifters but he needs nimona a shape-shifter assistance to prove his innocence because everyone in the kingdom is trying to capture him but as soon as the distinction separating good from Evil begin to become unclear both of them begin to do severe destruction in order to prove balusters innocence the story is decent predictable and gives little opportunity for unexpected develop developments and it is not as great as Netflix’s most recent animated films like the Sea Beast or Klaus the CGI is inconsistent varying from Fantastic character animations to questionable ones with a terrific blend of comedy and chaotic intensity from nimona the comedy is a further success here she and baluster have a lot of fun joking about it and their connection throughout the film is a real standout
2. AKA

Dalibert the story is about an officer named Adam Franco who joins a criminal gang and unintentionally bonds with the leader’s youngest kid Adam Franco is given the responsibility of working undercover for an organized crime group and he must get to know Victor the group’s head but due to unforeseen circumstances Adam eventually finds himself put on a mission where he has to protect the gangster’s son but as Adam grows more connected to Victor he becomes aware of the different challenges his organization faces forcing him to use his extraordinary fighting skills why while preventing himself from being detected you may assume that it will be an ordinary action movie but that is not the case while the story feels familiar the execution is great and there is a Twist that changes everything for the better the action scenes are superbly shot and this adds to the movie’s overall enjoyment do add it to your watch list neither the action nor the plot will let you down
1. The Pale Blue Eye
It is a 2022 mystery thriller film directed by Scott Cooper although everyone has a different view I believe this movie is one of the best and its rating fails to sufficiently convey its incredibly gripping storyline the story unfolds in 1830 when an army officer turns up dead and the mortuary discovers that his heart is missing from the body in the aftermath of this incident authorities from the army facility summoned Augustus Lander a local detective to help investigate the grizzly crime and identify the perpetrator of the horrific act when Lander gets there he asks a quirky but intelligent Young recruit named Edgar Allan Poe for assistance in helping him look into the situation however when they make an effort to analyze the case it plunges viewers into a horrifyingly intriguing mystery where they quickly come to the conclusion that the sequence of the murders indicates a non-human killer the drawbacks are slow-moving story weak uninteresting characters and lack of development however if you can overlook the story’s Slow Burn style of narration it is a really good murder mystery that keeps you interested until the very end.
