This week we watched the fan suggestion of Mowgli: The Legend of the Jungle on Netflix. Well, how about that? We're both pleasantly surprised by this latest Andy Serkis telling of Jungle Book. This retelling of the classic tale actually did something different, it told a story that felt new and was more fleshed out than it's previous brethren. We are provided with an actual story focused on Mowgli rather than having him just be another pawn in play for the other characters. As with other Serkis movies, the motion capture goes a decent way of making these CGI creatures feel more alive and real. Again, this IS another telling of Jungle Book but just like we said in Bat's review of Bumblebee it shows what some properties can be when handled by different people with different perspectives. Thanks Kristi, again, for delivering another good streaming recommendation.
Next week we're watching another fan suggestion with the Russian movie Guardians on Amazon Prime. Our friend TK has answered the call for the lack of Russian movies we have yet to see... was there really a call?... and he delivered. This strange super hero movie from Mother Russia looks interesting to say the least.
You can suggest a streaming movie that you want us to watch and review on future episodes that are on Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime or HBOgo.
