Good movies to watch when bored

The Undoing (2020)

There must be some truth to the hype when celebrities like the Kardashians talk exclusively about one topic. The show centers on Grace Fraser’s life (Nicole Kidman).

Is there any truth to the intriguing plots of the series, which was created by the former producer of American “Bachelor”?

MAID (2021)

Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

Jamal, an unremarkable 18-year-old boy from Mumbai, once won a spot on the renowned Who Wants to Be a Millionaire program. He was raised in a slum and came to the project, as one might imagine, for the money. It turned out, however, that this is not entirely accurate. For fun, he was allowed to participate in the show. Without education, what can a yard boy understand? Jamal, however, miraculously answers every question correctly.

Ocean’s 11 (2001)
