The aspect of the spy genre and what it means in reflection about the people who enjoy them is at the center of the whirlwind which is "Argylle", a new comedy/action film from Matthew Vaughn. Vaughn has always found interest in the quirky but then melding it with high concept action. His films are not straightforward and yet do speak to originality while also being derivative of everything before it.

The concept of an assassin film as metaphorical existentialism is not new but the idea of concept is in the eye of the beholder. With "American Star", Spanish director Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego places Ian McShane as an aging assassin on the Spanish island of Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands. The setting is masterful especially since it takes the audience a bit to figure out where it actually as McShane's hitman settles into his target.

The essence of a internal movie with a protagonist like Fran in the movie: "Sometimes I Think About Dying" is creating a character piece that simply shows a slice of life, however quiet it might be. Daisy Ridley plays Fran with a vulnerable fragility, somewhere between a manic depressive and a creative person exploring her own world inside herself.

The history of China in many ways like the US comes down to perspective. With "Noryang: Deadly Sea", the last in a supposed trilogy of Admiral Yi, most of the robustly beautiful and historical context may be lost on Western viewers but the immenity of the battles and the lengths many soldiers will go to in order to achieve honor is admirable.

The aspect of creating a good Jason Statham film is to almost take the Statham out of the equation. Though Statham has been established as an action genre all his own, he is always at his best when he is playing a character that has an extremity of quirks all his own. With "The Beekeeper" by having David Ayer at the helm and the always dependable Kurt Wimmer writing, it is about the mythology more than the man.

The context of "Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom" is redemption. The structure of the film begins a little too cartoonish but once it gets to its pinnacle, it redeems alot of its mythos despite a clunky finish in a way.

"Migration" has a sense of itself without getting too lost in its own trevails. This might be the writing of Mike White which is an interesting choice but definitely reflects in every character having both their own argument and point of view without being grating.

The essence of "Wonka" is the idea of optimism. By the time we saw him in both Tim Burton's version and the original Gene Wilder film, he had already become a icon of his own making. This new film from Paddington's Paul King takes the middle road and in doing so bridges the concept of the man/child. He is still relished in the idea that only chocolate can save the world.

The aspect of Disney animation has evolved. The new age of Disney animation constitutes an interesting parallel where with successes like "Frozen", there is the ability to do interesting swings. "Wish" stars Ariana DeBose as a new form of Disney heroine in a way: Asha but still with the outsider motif which has always been a stalwart in the lexicon.
