Turning Red by Domee Shi.

Great movie. 

2001 test for film adaptation of Paul Chadwick's Concrete comics.

I loved the superhero boom from the 90s/2000s, seeing mega hits like the Spider-Man films (which are some of my top favorite superhero movies, I think the first Spider-Man movie was developed before even X-Men was on film). The superhero set I would've loved to visit the most is Mystery Men. To me, the first Blade movie was instrumental in showing how superhero movies could exist at the end of the 20th century. There was a collision of Dark City and Blade that somehow, in subtle ways paved the way, via anime/manga, for The Matrix to spawn into the world. 

But, still, back then it was a countermovement to try to do superhero films, especially with material that didn't have Marvel or DC numbers. For many years, the proto-comic book movies were Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop (one of the best Judge Dredd movies) and Sam Raimi's Darkman in so many ways.

In my opinion, Paul Chadwick's Concrete is ripe to be adapted (there was a script written by Larry Wilson and Paul Chadwick, but it didn't go through).

Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been one of the most consistent comedies on TV for years and one of the best.

In my opinion, the world is a much better place with this show in it. I love these characters and the good, healing energy this comedy series brings. It gives us characters that feel organic, beautiful, strong, dignified, yet with flaws and vulnerabilities. It perfectly balances comedy and drama.

The show very much feels like a television adaptation of Phil Lord and Chris Miller's 21 Jump Street (one of my favorite comedy films). I promise to continue watching it if it ever returns in any way, shape or form.

Dune (aka Dune: Part One) by Denis Villeneuve.

The first of a two-part adaptation of the 1965 novel of the same name by Frank Herbert.

I urge you to see this movie.  

I loved it and admire it.

Macbeth (or The Tragedy of Macbeth) by Roman Polanski.

A most powerful, vital adaptation of The Scottish Play.

An epic, inventive, and heart-breaking story of ambition.

Evil Dead II (or Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn) by Sam Raimi.

A masterpiece of a film.
