Frankly, it’s a bit of a quiet week. So, might I recommend a few movies. Netflix has a bunch of films worth your time right now, but in the past fortnight they’ve added one of my all-time top 3 films The Untouchables. That film is a blast.
Meanwhile, over on Amazon Prime Video in Australia I noticed that Mission: Impossible - Fallout and Venom are both streaming. It’s loud, great fun for a Friday night.

In 2029, robots have become an ordinary part of human life - they help raise children, work as personal drivers, security guards, and lovers. For most people, "Bots" are just soulless machines that perform routine work, but they also become capable of emotions. A group of rebels, "The Liquidators," reject life with the bots - and are ready to shed human blood in their war against the machines.
