Weekend Watchlist, 3/20: Star power
What to watch this weekend
Happy Friday everyone! Here are this week’s picks. Going to keep the blurbs short this week because I’ve been busy with another project.
The Forbidden City
Where to watch: Digital rental/purchase
An ambitious ode to multi-culturalism that is also a kickass Italian kung fu movie and an announcement of the arrival of Mulan stunt performer Liu Yaxi as an action star. Read my review.
Godzilla's 71st birthday celebration
Celebrate the 71st birthday of cinema's biggest star with this incredible stop-motion Godzilla animation directed by Cressa Maeve Áine. It's the best thing I've seen this week, and perfectly captures the joy of the franchise.
Mexicali
Where to watch: Digital rental/purchase
The exhilarating follow-up to Life After Fighting for breakout Australian action star Bren Foster is another winner from the Jesse V. Johnson tree of lean genre filmmaking. Read my review.
