Gangs of Galicia (serial)

Spanish gangster series. A new lawyer moves into town seeking retribution for the death of her father... who was a former gangster btw. She takes on new clients and becomes key to the new bosses strategy. She walks the ever thinning line between being a gangster, setting them up for a sting, and falling in love. Really well done.

Sequel to the My Spy of a few years ago. This time Sophie is a teen and JJ (Dave Bautista) is a desk analyst in order to be able to stay home and be present for Sophie. But that doesn't work out so well. On a trip to Italy with the school choir, the two work together to save the Vatican from nuclear destruction. And they learn a bit more about each other along the way. Low key fun.

Blitz

I am now to the point where I can re-watch a movie and have no idea that it is a re-watch. I was thinking "I can't believe I haven't seen this"... but alas... 

Statham is a cop with violent tendencies, fed up with being nice to criminals. When a cop killer starts working his way through a list of targets, Statham is on the job. Turns out, he is on the list too. Maybe I'm less discerning than I used to be, or was just bored, but I may have liked this better now than 15 years ago.
