Heart of Stone
Heart of Stone is one of the most trending movies right now. Starring Gal Gadot, this film is about an intelligence operative who’s a member of a powerful global peacekeeping organization that possesses the smartest, most accurate technology that could prevent many disastrous happenings around the world called the Heart.
Rachel Stone, played by Gal Gadot, was undercover as a tech agent of MI6. Her image was portrayed to be a baby agent with no field experience. Little did they know that she was working for the Charter – an organization filled with international spies to protect the peace in the world.
Throughout the series, Stone will experience the complexities of trust, betrayal, and the blurred lines between loyalty and duty. Even though it’s a relatively new movie, it’s really a good watch. Unfortunately, it’s only exclusive on Netflix right now. Hopefully, it will be more available on other streaming platforms like Dish TV in the future.

Peter Quill, still mourning the loss of Gamora, embarked on a new mission to defend one of their family and the universe itself. However, this mission is totally different from their past, as it could end all the Guardians if they lose. With this life-and-death mission, will they be able to save the universe one more time? They will need more than wit, charm, and strength to do so.

This interesting plot really shows relatable human struggles. In fact, the movie surprises audiences with its heartwarming moments and meaningful messages. Beyond the enchanting visuals of Barbie Land, the film explores the idea of embracing one’s unique qualities and imperfections in a world that often celebrates superficial ideals.
