Same, but I have no idea what this means.
Watched it while doing other stuff besides, I don't even remember all names.
They took the time to clean up other MCU review sections too. Until yesterday, my review of Black Widow ("she's the sidekick in her own movie" - 5 stars) had been among the most helpful ones for months. Now it's gone.
It wasn't overwhelmingly positive, just a bit disappointed that we only learned about Natasha's past when it happened to tell Elena's story.

A third of the last book consists of Dumbledore's past and isn't fully covered in both last movies anyway.
The main reason for 8 movies: money.
My personal favorites are Lithuania, Belgium and Ukraine. In general, Malta had a strong appearance - at least her voice, the song is average.
France has not fully performed yet and I'm not invested enough to look it up on YT, the 15 seconds I know were pretty charming.
Probable winner? I'd guess Malta
Movies:
City of God (2002) - got too much praise and I never felt in the right mood or in the best possible situation to fully appreciate it.
Law Abiding Citizen (2009) - it was a recommendation by a friend and my refusal to watch it became an inside joke.... until we watched it together a few years ago.
Series:
Battlestar Galactica (2004) - I've seen the 80's series back in then and I know that the new show is of a very different quality. Anyway, it somehow keeps me from starting the critically acclaimed series.
"Showgirls" surprised me on the list
It transformed. In early cinema, horror was the special effects genre.
Yes, it happens. Or they even operate the wrong patient.
I've witnessed such a mess in a military hospital during my service. Not only that they took out the wrong person's appendix, they had kept the patient under the wrong name - meaning that he's officially gone missing and was suspected for desertion for two days.

Frost/Nixon
not exactly the same - while "to golf" is a verb in many languages, "to ski" only is in very few.
Just watched it. It was on TV and had Jon Stewart's name attached - so I gave it a chance.
It's clearly targeted to a domestic audience, but the story itself could essentially take place during the past few decades in a lot of countries - well, a lot of democracies. Centralized politics in the capital, somehow disconnected from rural areas and forgetting about them when there's no election around, that's the perceived normality in a lot of places.
I expected it to be spicier, it almost had a romcom vibe.
Just realized, that thanks to TV stations, I've never watched it in order.
The more chronological series had a hard time in the 90's.
Ödipussi (1988)
Did a bit of research:
<blockquote>In most countries Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May, among them the USA, Canada, most European countries, Australia, New Zealand, India, China, Japan, the Philippines and South Africa.
One notable exception to this rule are the UK and Ireland, which celebrate Mother's Day on the fourth Sunday in Lent. Most Arab countries celebrate Mother's Day on March 21st (vernal equinox). Most East European countries celebrate Mother's Day on March 8th.</blockquote>

Your assumption was right, it is country by country.
Gary Busey has some good moments, but in general, you're right. "Drop Zone" still is one of my guilty pleasures.
Besides the acting, I used to confuse them a lot.
Central/Western Europe here - we've had it today as well.
Psycho (1960)
We're entering an ethical mine field here ;)
As a kind of a prosthesis, making blind people see, deaf people hear, tinnitus removal, letting one move an automated aid, it's hard to argue against some neural interfaces or the technology as a whole. There are conditions, where a sort of a neural pace keeper could drastically improve some affected people's quality of life (I've seen an impressive documentation about it, doesn't make me an expert on the matter).
They will exist, some experimental forms already do. They will improve and in some aspects, probably surpass the functionality of their biological original.
What's next? There are already existing trends like "BioHacking", healthy people taking drugs for some benefit (improved night vision for example). There's a very thin line to drug abuse and doping for existing medications. Will neural interfaces land in a similar territory?
