@Ponderable saidLikewise. Easy watching.
my wife has watched all of those 😉 (i did see some of them)
Prisoner 951 - a British factual drama television series, starring Narges Rashidi as British-Iranian citizen Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe imprisoned on spying charges for six years in Iran, and Joseph Fiennes as her husband Richard Ratcliffe. The four-part series premiered on BBC One on 23 November 2025.
I used to love watching bicycle flips on vert ramps.
More recently, another kind of visual-physical magic has appeared on my visiplate: the art of the airwalk.
The first time I saw it done (on a video) I thought it was a video trick -- but apparently this is something the kids have really come up with and can be done for real if one acquires the knack. Here's an example from the Shuffle Pack:
Yesterday I finally watched "Battle Royale" (2000/2001). Maybe not for everyone, but I found it worthwhile and engaging and even amusing at times. Not just a nihilistic splatterfest, but social commentary with sarcasm and some gentler moments of humor.
What kind of reminded me to watch "BR" was that the other night I took a chance on the live-action movie version of "City Hunter" (2024) -- which also has Masanobu Ando in the cast. That had some funny moments.
[Before "City Hunter" I had seen Masanobu Ando in three other movies -- "Smuggler", "Sukiyaki Western Django", and "Sadako vs Kayako" -- but when I watched "City Hunter" I wasn't sure which character he played (maybe because of the hair and makeup in those other roles), so had to look it up on IMDB.]
Well, so much for my Masanobu Ando mini-film-fest.

This was a really well done documentary. I learned a lot of things.
