Just took a trip and watched a couple of movies on the plane to kill the time. United has all their movies and TV on their plane-based Wifi so you can watch those free on a decent tablet screen instead of the toy screen on the back of the seat in front of you.

"The Last Duel" comes from Ridley Scott. Set in 14th century France, there is lots of armor crashing around as a noble marries for a land dowry then gets screwed by an ambitious rival, who also decides he wants the noble's new bride. Much consternation and a duel to the death ensue. Fine if you like medieval swashbuckling but not the best.

"No Time To Die" - The last Bond outing for Daniel Craig, it touches all the bases that his earlier Bond flicks did, the gritty, cynical spy still shooting it out over and over. Like "The Last Duel" it's fine if you like the genre but missable otherwise.

"Bosch:Legacy" on Amazon is another franchise continuation that picks up where the last Bosch season ended. Pretty well done. "Dexter: New Blood" is the same. I have one more episode left out of 10 since I had to resort to Netflix DVD to get it. I had my doubts early on, but the tone and characters are a nice reflection of the original series.

In short, nothing here you would miss if you don't try them out, but serviceable offerings for those who like the genres and characters.
