  Free Solo 2018

  ★★★★ Rewatched 24 Apr 2020

  I am absolutely ashamed to say this, but I watched this on my phone, in bed, in attempt to extract what I could from an edible I shouldn’t have engaged with in the first place....and my bed sheets have never been more damp with sweat, just ask my wife.

  
  The only thing that bothered me was Alex, who, and not that it should have any baring on his achievements, has the personality of an amazon box with nothing in it, and that’s generous.  His relationship with Sanni is extremely one sided and uncomfortable, and shall remain as such, till his death do them part.

  It Chapter Two 2019

  ★½ Watched 24 Apr 2020

  Holy Jesus Christ what a step down from the first entry.
  Bad cgi zombies won the war over subtlety in this one.  Probably one of the longest movies, and longest “feeling” movies I’ve seen in the last five years.

  Good Boys 2019

  ★★ Watched 24 Apr 2020

  Nah, not gonna do it.

  Too many little detours where normally we would derive unexpected laughs from a Rogen/Goldberg production just...don’t produce.

  Tried to squeeze in heart at the end we were supposed to feel the whole time, and then rebound from inauthenticity with the sex swing antics.  Pretty lame.
