Hello, Thursday fans. It's still early in the new year so it's okay to look back at the previous twelve months and longingly reminisce over that crop of cinematic offerings. Our illustrious leader, Wanderer at Wandering Through the Shelves gets this. That's why she made this week's topic 2018 releases. I've went with three that I haven't heard a lot of talk about. I found two of them on Netflix.
The Night Comes for Us
A mob enforcer goes rogue when he refuses to kill a little girl. Now, his former employers are after them both. On one of those rare days when I was in my house and actually on my own Netflix profile, I found this movie just begging me to take it for a spin in the "Suggestions for Dell" section. It promised lots of action and starred my boy, Iko Uwais from The Raid franchise. Turns out, he's not the star, but no matter. Martial arts, guns, and gore ensue. Ahem. Martial arts, guns, and gore! Oh my! Martial arts, guns, and gore! Oh my! Martial arts, guns, and gore. Oh my!
The After Party
An aspiring rapper is ready to quit the game after having one of the most embarrassing moments ever, caught on camera and then going viral. His best friend/manager believes in him and won't give up. The rapper decides to give his buddy one more night to get him a record deal or he's going to join the service. Wackiness ensues. This is another movie Netflix suggested for me. Is it a great movie? No. Does it have anything to say? Not really. It is, however, a fun, lighthearted time-passer with lots of music industry cameos that does nothing new, but also doesn't offend. 
Den of Thieves
A crew bank robbers decide they want to do the impossible and try to rob the Federal Reserve. Of course, there's a determined cop on their trail, played by one Gerard Butler. Yeah, that guy. Like many, I'd given up on the idea of in appearing in anything quality. If you listen to the critics, he didn't here, either. It sits at 41% on the tomatometer. I wasn't going to watch it until a friend really urged me to give it a go. I did and I really enjoyed it through all its twists and turns. It wants to be Heat, at which it fails miserably. Then again, so does everything else.
