Digger

Digger stars Tom Cruise as Digger Rockwell, an audacious and obscenely wealthy Texan oil tycoon who wields immense control over the United States government. When his aggressive, reckless deep-sea drilling operations in Greenland inadvertently trigger a catastrophic explosion and cause a massive ice shelf to collapse, humanity is put on a collision course with a global eco-disaster. Defiant and obsessed with his public legacy, Rockwell embarks on a frantic, larger-than-life mission to spin the crisis to his financial advantage and prove to the world that he is their ultimate savior before the damage destroys everything.

This movie ended up being even weirder than the trailer made it out to be.   There was a huge twist about 30 minutes in that I had no idea about and it honestly made the movie even weirder than it already was.   This movie really had a Wes Anderson why does everyone think this is so great artsy vibe to it.   And it honestly feels like a pretty blatant attempt for Tom Cruise to get award season recognition.   The social commentary parts and parallels were pretty accurate at times and it was the only thing that made me watch the full movie.

I would not really recommend anyone bothering with this.  It's really out there at times and ends up being pretty forgettable regardless of Tom Cruise's aura.

Verity

Adapted from the best-selling novel, the film follows struggling writer Lowen Ashleigh (Dakota Johnson) as she is hired by Jeremy Crawford (Josh Hartnett) to ghostwrite the remaining books for his incapacitated wife, renowned author Verity Crawford (Anne Hathaway).  Relocating to the Crawford estate, Lowen discovers a hidden, unpublished autobiographical manuscript filled with disturbing family secrets and dark confessions. As she grows closer to Jeremy, Lowen faces a web of psychological terror, questioning whether Verity is truly incapacitated or staging a chilling deception.

This was a really good watch.   Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson were both great and each kept you very hooked and invested throughout all the twists and turns of the movie.   Even when you think it was pretty formula while still being a decent watch the third small act made it even better thinking wise.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.   It was a fun suspenseful movie with great hooks.
