  News of the World 2020

  ★★★ Watched 15 Jan 2021

  Tom Hanks is very watchable and I enjoyed Helena Zengel’s performance. As a rather traditional movie that feels like it could have been made anytime in the last three decades, it unfortunately didn’t leave much of an emotional impression.

  ★½ Watched 25 Dec 2020

  Almost unwatchably boring for me. Sad because I really liked the first one.

  Soul 2020

  ★★½ Watched 25 Dec 2020

  It’s watchable (more so than WW84, my double feature on Christmas Day) but doesn’t add up to much. Second tier Pixar for me. Favorite line: “Souls don’t get crushed here. That’s what earth is for.”
