Hey Everyone,

Paul here…

   With movie theaters being closed, it’s been a pretty lackluster (or more accurately, nonexistent) summer movie season. However, there have been a few cool movies released digitally or directly to streaming services. There are two kinds of Netflix Original Movies, the first are mostly pretty shitty movies that couldn’t find a distributor, so they were sold to Netflix. The second kind of Netflix Original Movie is a film produced through Netflix’s in-house production company and is a real attempt at making a great movie. It’s this second kind of Netflix film that will be talking about today. Netflix has released successful films before through it’s in house production company,  but one of their more high profile movies will be hitting the streaming service later this month. The Old Guard starring Charlize Theron is based on the comic book series by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernandez about a team of immortal soldiers who seemingly can’t be killed. Greg Rucker is a fantastic writer and I read the first volume of The Old Guard graphic novel when it first came out and I thought it was very good. This movie sort of flew under my radar, but it looks pretty damn cool. I know I’ll be watching it when it starts streaming on Netflix next week. Take a look at the trailer right here:

The Old Guard premieres on Netflix on 7/10/20
