I saw “Spiderhead” on Netflix. First half was fun and new; second half felt flat. The soundtrak totally stole my playlist from my 1980s Walkman.

We watched Causeway on Apple TV. Jennifer Lawrence was great in it. The movie was a bit slow and very sad.

We watched “Don’t Worry Darling” since it is now streaming on HBO. The movie does not exactly work, but I give credit to Olivia Wilde for the effort.

I watched Don’t Worry Darling last night as well. What a bizarre movie. I really like Florence Pugh, but what was that story line??

Yeah, it was really out there. But I’m okay with that. I like superhero movies and kids movies as much as the next person, but I also like these types of pictures, even though this specific one missed the mark. “A” for effort!
I actually liked Don’t Worry Darling much more than I thought I would. Harry Styles is a meh actor, and there were definitely plot holes, but I love a good swing for the fences, even when it falls short- and Florence Pugh is amazing.

According to the Flixster app on my phone, Smile is still in our local movieplex. So we are going to see it this Saturday night, and I’m pretty excited about it. The reviews (here and elsewhere) paint a rosy picture.
We enjoyed The Banker on Apple+.
Saw the new Black Panther movie, Wakanda Forever, in a crowded theater. The movie perfectly captured a mournful tone, but the story didn’t hold my interest all the way through. The late Chadwick Boseman owned the role of Black Panther, and it’s going to be difficult moving this franchise forward.
BTW, for those who stay and watch the post credit scenes, there is only one post credit scene. It is in the middle of the credits. There is no post credit scene at the end of the movie.

I saw it last night and completely agree. I hope it’s the last Black Panther movie. I saw the first one 3 times in the theater. I will likely watch this one once more but when out on video. The story just wasn’t that interesting. It felt forced and a little ridiculous.

I saw a preview of The Menu a few days ago and really enjoyed it.

I watched Predestination this evening, and boy was this movie a crazy ride!
We went to see Wakanda Forever today, and I actually really enjoyed it and thought they handled the whole change in direction and situation with Boseman’s death quite well.

Everyone in my family loved Most Exotic Marigold Hotel.

If you use search to find it, it’s “The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.” Wonderful film. The sequel is worth watching, too.
I’d also recommend Quartet.

Our all time favorite is Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?
Based on what you liked, I would add Captain Philips to the list. My husband highly recommends Air Force One.
