I'm getting back into the old school Documentary films, I had a lot recommended to me already, docu movies with low budgets, that way they can keep budgets 10+ Million-ish area. I do enjoy movies I might watch the crime coemdy drama 'Kajillionaire' and I enjoyed Army of the Dead but that's not small enough, in no way small to classify as 'Indie' its got a big massive sicifi horror fantasy budget for those fx shots, I'm probably going to be watching some Nature or Science documentary maybe real life stuff Allen v. Farrow about Woddy DaughterFucker Allen who hung out with Epstein, you have all that Nature BBC National Geographic David Attenborough stuff or music like 'Tina' documentary film that follows the life and career of musician Tina Turner or stuff like 'Framing Britney Spears' crime drama movies like Tiger King or Murder Among the Mormons, Escape from Mogadishu is a South Korea movie about ambassadors from both North and South Korea who are forced to team up in order to escape the Somali Civil War or you have the CIA drug one called Wormwood or the tv kids show producers 'Street Gang How We Got to Sesame Street'.

I'm not huge into documentary stuff myself, but my old man (who doesn't believe he's ever seen any movie directed by Oliver Stone) is really excited about his new documentary series on JFK after seeing him on Krystal and Saagar.

The rescue is worth a watch if you like a documentary, a dark event of kids trapped and teams trying to rescue with a happy rescue ending. I heard good things about South Korean film this year past and new movie summer season coming, if you like Documentary instead of movies there is National Geographic “The Rescue” docu movie and other type of Docu drama, a movie called Language Lessons an American drama film directed and co-written by Natalie Morales, CODA Child of Deaf Adults another getting buzz, Mekong Hotel Thailand, Drive My Car Japanese, German film. There are many oldies to watch, classic US fnatasy or horror, there is also an old 80s movie from Philippines about 3 families 'Oro, Plata, Mata' its about the invasion, Japanese occuption during WW2 and the shocking change in family life, Filipino seemed to have a cultural explosion of movies during the late 70s? 1980s it was kinda like HongKong culture was everywhere, the HongKong movie industry survived but in Philippines then it all died off, more recently there seems to be a bunch of cartoon anime tv animation stuff coming from S.Korea, South America and the Philippines, some are shorts but others are bigger productions, maybe US and European studios are funding stuff over there? Modern 'Pinoy' horror is perhaps becoming a thing with stuff like 'The Road' and 'Yanggaw' maybe taking a page from the Japan Ringu franchise. The second golden age of China cinema is said to have come with productions like Yellow Earth and Farewell My Concubine, there is a cultural disruption with the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989, the 5th generation films include people like Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, the post-1990 Chinese move on to other film styles like 'Black Coal Thin Ice' the movie A Land Imagined and Suzhou River...I watched this one its kinda sad and ‘Sixth Generation’ Chinese films are known for their documentary type feel and low cost production, movie So Long, My Son and movie Beijing Bicycle are also classed as 6th generation. While some Japanese films are known to be wacky, the Chinese are classed as more real and gritty, there is some debate as to what 6th generation film really is, some say its style is due to lack of financial support and the new post-1989 censorship policies.
Indie Animation might become a thing again, Ralph Bakshi involved in stuff like Fire and Ice, Fritz the Cat, the Wizards movie, the Japan styled Castlevania is a horror animation, so there might be horror animation series or movies coming from some studios. The movie Cool world had a Budget $28 million the Box office during its time but it only made $14.1 million so it was considered a flop, another animted turkey or box office bomb but I think there was something creative and risky about these types of movies like TheMask and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. French British animated The Illusionist by Sylvain Chomet is interesting, Song of the Sea by Tomm Moore, the Chinese Have A Nice Day by Liu Jian, Tito On Ice by Max Andersson and Helena Ahonen or King of Pigs by Yeon Sang-ho have a lot of hype behind their animation art syles. This new joint Japan US styled 'Castlevania' is a tv show and it seems to be a joint US Japan thing its not a movie but a TV Series, I think there might be other stuff coming from Japan maybe animated movies like StarWars Japan anime. Argentina film might be making a comeback with stuff like The Secret in Their Eyes, Heroic Losers and Argentina's The Distinguished Citizen, some Latin American actors and film makers also are doing productions with Spain or in other parts of Europe. Bornholmer Straße Open the Wall is said to be good and there's always Lola rennt (Run Lola Run) people might recognize Franka Potente from 'The Bourne' movie franchise. There is some hype about an upcoming The Northman is an upcoming American epic historical film directed by Robert Eggers with singer Björk, and Willem Dafoe appear in supporting roles. There is also Deadwood The Movie a 2019 American Western televisio

Death Note 2006 film is also pretty enjoyable it is based on weird Japanese comicbook cartoon animtion.
Most Japan films are low budget but I don't know if they were able to cap it at the budget of $15 Million.
Netflix did their own Hollywood style Death Note loosely adapted from the Japanese manga and movie but it was trashed by fans of the original, the crappy Netflix remake cost $40 million, the retards also used real footage of a 2010 train collision in Buizingen, Belgium in which 19 people died as part of the film.
Budget $5 million Best of the Best 1989

People want indie but I think a lot of Indie film is still not moving because you have major States like California and NewYork still under lockdown

Covid Movie Death?
If States opened up would small American films or Japanese film or S.Korean or Indie American films or stuff from Europe or South America make money at the box office “The Cow Who Sang Into the Future”. Spider-Man No Way Home a big block buster is the only thing making money while everything flops? Waiting for Bojangles I was expecting an indie US tap dancing movie with that title, instead it seems to be a weird Tango Family Drama French film, Jujutsu Kaisen a Japan animation is making tens of millions or maybe “Hatching” is indie. In Russia Last Warrior: A Messenger of Darkness January 2022, the film became one of the highest-grossing local-language release of all time in Russia, normally Hollywood sells big in Russia but now anymore, they have their own film surpassing a previous movie called The Last Warrior with a take of 1.88 billion rubles or making $25.5 million ish ... will it be indie or blockbuster that survive the Post Corona Hollyweird Apocalypse??
With Covid lockdowns and Woke SJW Antifa cancel culture arriving before Corona... do people now have to move to Texas or Florida to get the indie films released at the box office?

Yeah. My old man says the Showtime exclusive is for something like 3 months and is an abridged version of it. I think it's 2 hours long, but the full one that will be available after the exclusivity deal with Showtime is done is actually 4 hours.
Knowing Oliver Stone, you might want to wait for that version to drop.

Probably going to continue watching some overseas stuff, I'm not sure how South Korea keeps their budgets in check, The Pirates The Last Royal Treasure is a new film and 'Special Delivery ' in the USA there is a lot of indie horro stuff coming, “The Black Phone” seems to be this weird horror movie, the trailer looks very creepy about a killer who kidnaps children and the Mask he wears looks like a cross between a demon from Hell and Jeffry Epstein
