  Gladiator II 2024

  ★★ Watched 28 Nov 2024

  Honestly surprised by how tedious this was. A severe case of Hollywood sequel-itis but also uncharismatic casting.

  The Tourist 2022

  ★★★ Watched 28 Jun 2022

  Decent as far as Coen Bros rip offs go, but about twice as long as it needed to be. Episode quality diminishes as it goes on until a weak ending.

  That said, Damon Herriman, Olafsson, & Dimitriades are all compelling antagonists

  Solo: A Star Wars Story 2018

  ★★★ Watched 12 May 2020

  I watched Solo when it came out in theaters, overall verdict: not as bad as I expected. I went in having heard it was 2/10, but I’d say it was like 6/10. I suspect the low expectations & some foreknowledge of the bad elements inoculated me. I think the movie could have been a lot better than it was, but as it is it did pretty much what it needed to do, which was to be moderately entertaining & amusing
