Recent Netflix binge:
I saw "Don't look up," a witty satire that deals more with the current state of American politics than with the looming threat of an asteroid hurtling toward the Earth. With Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep.
Then, "We're the Millers" -- kind of cute but annoyingly sophomoric humor. I was surprised to see Tomer Sisley, whom I know from the French series, "Balthazar," playing a Mexican drug lord. Apparently such cheesy American films pay well so it's worth taking on these character acting roles across the pond. He was also in "Don't Look Up," to my surprise.
Finally, "Maria" re: the opera diva Callas. The costumes were good and the guy playing Aristotle Onassis did a good job of smoking a cigar. I can't say that Jolie did much to dispel the opinion that acting is not one of her many talents. The casting director should find a new line of work since the supporting cast wasn't much to speak of either. It was pathetic. Spend your time watching something else.
