MUST-WATCH: Love, thunder, and gods

Dangerous Liaisons

Where to watch: Netflix

First up, let’s start with a modern update of a classic novel!

Dangerous Liaisons is the latest adaptation of Les Liaisons dangereuses. It had been famously adapted into a 1988 film starring Glenn Close, John Malkovich, and Michelle Pfeifer, as well as a beloved high school adaptation from the 90s called Cruel Intentions (starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Reese Witherspoon, and Ryan Phillipe). This modern version is set in France, and follows the attempts of two rich students/influencers to see if one of them can seduce a new girl in town.

Next up, the strongest Avenger returns!

Thor: Love and Thunder is the ninth appearance of Chris Hemsworth (from Spiderhead) as the Norse god, and Taika Waititi’s second time directing an MCU film. This time, recovering from his bout of depression in Avengers: Endgame, he’s travelling all over the galaxy and saving whoever needs saving with the Guardians of the Galaxy. He leaves them when he hears of a God Butcher called Gorr (played by Christian Bale from American Psycho) going around slaughtering gods, and heads back to New Asgard. He’ll have to team up with some old friends, including his now super-powered ex-girlfriend Jane Foster (played by Natalie Portman from Black Swan).
