I just watched Boss Level, yet another time-loop film, and enjoyed watching it.
At times it's quite funny too, particularly the scenes with him and the sword chick.

I've just watched Zack Snyder's Justice League.
It's a bit too long, but it's all right, and much better than the 2017 version.

The Father is very good.
It's heartbreaking what dementia does to people and their families.

Passengers (2016) is better than what critics say.
Critics: 30% RT, 41 Metacritic
Users: 63% RT, 6.8 Metacritic, 7.0 IMDb.
Don't get me wrong, it's not superb, but it's worth a watch.
I'm glad I decided to watch it.
Good worldbuilding, I felt like I went on a journey with them.

Personally, I expect it to be a bad film.
The trailer for this film, that was released today, strengthens my expectation of it being bad.
The first film had a good story, supplemented by solid action and effects.
Since then, the action and effects have been fine, but the stories more of the same.
Look, we tried something new. Nope, what you created here is, once again, more of the same.

Yeah, I did see that one. :)
I'm now watching Grace's shot by shot breakdown.
(I watch all her videos.)
Heh, remarkable that Grace has only now started watching The Sopranos.

I just finished watching season 3 of Succession.
Still a good series, I recommend.

Yeah, I didn't enjoy it.
The first 30 minutes or so were all right.
Reviewers appear to be divided on this film, with some bashing it because of these first 30 minutes.

It's funny that she just now, again, said "I loved it so much." (See the similar quote above.)
People really have their own, distinct ways of (verbally, in this case) describing/reacting to things.

Don't Look Up got a "Best Picture" Academy Awards nomination despite having subpar critical reviews (MC, RT).

Moonfall (2022) does well enough what it sets out to do. Doesn't matter that it's basic, stupid, nonsense; it entertained me sufficiently. Tiny thumbs up.
