What movies and series to watch in November

Let's start with the amazing. So, last year, the streaming service Netflix released a movie about a sister.

Sherlock Holmes named Enola Holmes.The main roles in the series were played by Millie Brown (13 from Stranger Things) and the Witcher Henry Cavill (who, by the way, recently announced that he was leaving the project, giving way to Liam Hemsworth. An interesting situation, since a year ago Henry in an interview said that there are plans for 7 seasons of the series). And it turned out to be such nonsense (6.4 rating on Kinopoisk) that, it would seem, to forget and not remember! And then on November 4, the second film, Enola Holmes 2, comes out. And not just out, but first, Netflix releases the picture in cinemas, which means counting on some kind of awards or nominations (if the film was not broadcast on the screens, then it cannot be nominated for an Oscar or something like that). And most of all I was impressed that the comments under the trailer are enthusiastically positive. However, maybe I don't understand something. Tell us about your impressions in the comments!

"House of the Dragon"

When: the full season is out

I decided to start with a small recap.Still, the first series of the prequel to the "Game of Thrones" was released back in August. And the last episode was fired only on October 24th. I am sure that August and especially September-October were busy for many, so you could forget about a good series. I speak based on my experience: either a job, or a coronavirus, or a new book came out, then this one, then another one, and in the end I didn’t have time to watch a single series. However, I feel it is worth watching. From every iron they whistled how good this series is, how exemplary it is, what a wonderful fantasy, what an intrigue. Especially, apparently, the “House of the Dragon” was a success against the background of the crooked series from Amazon in the universe of “The Lord of the Rings”. In short, we will watch and evaluate! In a slushy autumn, that's it! Viewers can share their thoughts in the comments, but without spoilers.

Since we are talking about the fantasy genre, recently releasedA new book in the Dragonlance series from the creators of this universe, Margaret Weiss and Tracey Hickman. The authors decided to please the fans and write a new trilogy "Dragons of Deceit" ("Dragons of Deceit"). Let's hope you have the strength to write it. After all, Margaret is already 74 years old.

For those who are not too fond of suchtheme. Initially, Dragonlance was a setting in a D&D board game that the authors played with friends, and gradually a story was born. The first book came out in 1984. The new book, as always happens in such cases, is somewhat inferior to past works, but it is still a good way to pass the evening.

As you can guess, the book is only in English.language, and something tells me that it is unlikely to appear in Russian. So, apparently, you will have to look for it in the largest library hiding in the depths of the dark web. In my case it was funny. I pre-ordered on Amazon a long time ago and the book just arrived on my Kindle, but I didn't find out until a month later because I rarely use an e-reader.

The Peripheral / "Peripherals"

When: already

I wrote about this show last month.And I want to remind him again. This is a series from the creators of Westworld (and you can feel it!) based on the novel by William Gibson, the author from whose novels all modern cyberpunk fiction was born.

I managed to watch the first couple of episodes, and it's really good! Unfortunately, Amazon will be dragging its feet by releasing new episodes once a week on Fridays. So the series will end in early December.

"Wendell and Wilde"

When: already

Netflix released a mystical cartoon in honor of Halloween about a girl and demons resurrecting the dead. Nobody expected much from the cartoon, but after the release it was literally inundated with rave reviews.

This is a puppet cartoon, in style,reminiscent of Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. The set of authors is also noteworthy - Henry Selick and Jordan Peele. Selick is the author of Coraline and Peel has become a horror director in recent years. So, he did the last "Candyman", "No", "Us". However, Peel is also strong in comedy (by the way, this is noticeable in the cartoon) - “Meet the Fockers-2”, “Wanderlust”.

The cartoon turned out great - funny,touching, scary and quite relevant. And also very in the spirit of the modern agenda: racial and gender diversity, there is even Ramona, who wants to be Raul. However, surprisingly, everything looks neat and organic. So I recommend watching!

"Mr. Harrington's Phone"

When: already

The film is already out on Netflix.This is an adaptation of a Stephen King short story. In the center of the plot is a boy who befriends an elderly billionaire who, as is customary among old people, suddenly dies. However, pretty soon the boy discovers that he can communicate with the dead man through his iPhone (why not Samsung?!).

Drawn attention to the film, as the Netflix serviceinitially released it in limited release to cinemas, and only then gave a digital release. Usually, films are released to offline rentals when they are sure of their award potential. So, apparently, Netflix is ​​betting on the picture "Mr. Harrington's Phone", expecting that it can compete for some kind of "Oscar" or "Golden Globe".

"ONI: The Story of the Thunder God"

When: already

Another released cartoon from Netflix.They are demons in Japanese mythology. If "Wendell and Wilde" is recommended for everyone to watch, then "Them" is more for kids. In any case, the cartoon is extremely cute. If this was shown in cinemas, then at the exit from the hall I would put a kiosk with cartoon toys. I'm sure the kids would buy everything.

Unfortunately, I did not find a trailer in Russian.

"King of Tulsa"

When: the 13th of November

Or Stallone got bored in retirement, or stillI need money as this is Sly's second job this year. Not so long ago, the film “Samaritan” was released (by the way, it’s quite a good action movie based on a comic book. If you missed it, then it’s the most for the evening - quickly, smartly, without snot), and now a whole series. And for the first time in his career, Stallone will play the role of a bad guy - an Italian mafia who recently got out of prison.

Hero awaits compensation after 25 years in prisonfor silence, but his boss doesn't care about the old capo. To get rid of, he gives permission to organize a criminal network in the provincial town of Tulsa in Oklahoma. According to the genre, it is indicated that this is a drama, but, it seems, lively and with humor.

Despite the fact that Sly is already 76 years old, henice to see in the frame. Age is not felt. This is not Robert De Niro in The Irishman - the fight scene where De Niro kicks his opponent looks terrible. Despite the fact that a deepfake is applied to rejuvenate the face, the old grandfather is clearly visible in the manner of movements.

"Miracle"

When: November 16

Another movie that Netflix is ​​aiming forawards are first released to cinemas. This is a drama about England in 1862. According to the plot, a nurse from London is called to her place by a religious community, which asks to examine a girl who claims that she has not eaten anything for 4 months, surviving on "manna from heaven".

Unfortunately, I did not find a trailer in Russian. The picture in the trailer shows that they tried and invested in production. Apparently, it turned out to be quite an atmospheric story. Worth taking note.

"Pepsi: where's my jet?"

When: November 17

Pretty interesting documentary.The year is 1996, Coca-Cola is the market leader, but Pepsi does not give up, daring to launch the largest marketing campaign in its history called “Pepsi Stuff”. The meaning of the promotion is simple: under the lid are points that can be exchanged for any souvenir - glasses, watches, jackets. However, in theory, you can save up for the main prize - a vertical take-off jet fighter.

When launching the campaign, Pepsi management was sure thatno one will be able to save up for a fighter, since for this it was necessary to spend an astronomical amount, gaining 7 million points. And the fighter was kind of a joke. As you can imagine, some people thought this was no joke. The two buddies devised a plan to accumulate points and eventually sued Pepsi for a military fighter jet. We are promised a driving documentary series with a complete immersion in the atmosphere of the 90s USA. You can watch "Brother" about the atmosphere of the 90s in Russia.

"Welcome to Chippendales"

When: November 22

Kumail Nanjiani (Dinesh from Silicon Valley)the role of an Indian immigrant who founded a super-popular strip club for women in the 80s called Chippendales. But as the club began to expand and the brand to inflate, drama erupted between business partners.

I don't know what happened. But the story looks entertaining, as does the trailer. Unfortunately, again, there is no trailer in Russian. For some reason, even pirates are in no hurry to translate.

"Goodnight Oppie"

When: November 23

"Guardians of the Galaxy: Christmas Special"

When: November 25

Disney + decided to please fans of a smallShort film based on Guardians of the Galaxy. Surprisingly, they even gathered and forced all the actors from the main tape to act. Judging by the trailer, it turned out to be a fun nonsense for fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"Willow"

When: November 30th

Coming to Disney+ at the end of the monthfantasy series Willow. Continuation of the film of the 80s with the same actors. In the USA they say that the film is famous and popular. And everyone is looking forward to it. However, in the comments to this trailer there are those who remember the original film.

Judging by the picture, Disney did not spare the money. Both costumes and graphics look very rich. Clearly, Disney sees a lot of potential in the story.

Conclusion

Finally, I want to remind you about the start on November 9The 5th season of the series "Crown", dedicated to the 90s of the XX century. The Crown is one of Netflix's premier and most successful series, so there's not much to say here. Fans, I believe, have long known the release date. And the rest can be advised if you didn’t know what to do with yourself: 4 seasons have already come out!

Russian serials somehow did not affect.Although the “Monastery” with the famous blogger Nastya Ivleeva (the party girl-escort runs away to the monastery) is released on Kinopoisk, there will still be a new series with Pavel Priluchny. In general, by the way, there are a lot of domestic serials. If you look at the general plotline so superficially, then these are stories from the life of either the rich or mentosaurs (surprisingly, by the way, that the second season has not yet been announced).

In the comments, share what interesting things you have watched lately in cinemas or on the Internet.
