  Free Guy 2021

  ★★★★ Watched 02 Jan 2025

  First film of 2025. I have to say, I enjoyed this a LOT more than I thought I was going to. It was funny, some nice little gaming jokes (and jibes), Ryan Reynolds was Ryan Reynolds, and the love story was a nice little touch.

  Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is a film I've wanted to watch since it was released 20 years ago, so it seems fitting to make it happen on its 20th anniversary year. A story of love, intimacy, and the pain of loss. and maybe that spark of hope that maybe, even if you're not quite right for each other, part of the journey is discovering it, because not all times are bad, and who knows, maybe you actually are…
