Last movie you watched......

Saw Godzilla vs. Kong in a theater today. It was better on a big screen than it would’ve been on my TV, but a very forgettable film. Some good action but didn’t think about once I left theater.

The experience was good, lightly attended and at least two seats were left empty between each group.

 

I watched it on HBO Max, but there is no way I would have paid to see it in the theater. It had a few moments and the action scenes weren't bad, but you found the right word for it: forgettable.

 

Watched the prequel (Resolution) and the sequel (The Endless); a sci-fi thriller story that starts innocently enough and then ventures outward. I was mystified at the end of No. 1 but then understood by the end. Pretty well done IMHO.

 

This will be an outing for the OOP family.

 

Airplane! v Naked Gun,

 

Stowaway on Netflix. Nice cast, Toni Colette, Anna Kendricks, Daniel Dae Kim and a newcomer. Some good tension and sets. Premise of a stowaway on a trip to Mars was not fully explained and not the easiest to accept. I'd say 3.5/5.

 

A Thousand Cuts: 4/5

Maria Ressa is a champion. I was horrified to see how similar Filipino politics is to the United States. The same people -- poor, uneducated, don't know any better -- putting their full faith behind Duterte, a "strong man," and consistently voting against their own interests.

 

JoJo Rabbit. Very enjoyable.

 

The Dig. I liked it. But then, the cast is stellar, including the delectable Lily James. Stars: 4/5.

 

Most of True Lies last night. Oy.

 

Spielberg. It will be interesting to see how much traction this gets.

 

The Fast & Furious franchise is trying to get people back into theaters a quarter of a mile at a time.
