    ★★★

    Pretty upsetting subject matter (like The Big Short), but it's engaging enough to be watchable. Bale is great, as usual. Fine movie.

    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

    ★★★★

    Incredible animation and a solid story. Breathes fresh new life into a superhero property that is doing just fine in its current iteration. All good.

    Mission: Impossible – Fallout

    ★★★★

    Quick thoughts:
    -The action set pieces are unmatched by any modern film franchise — they are dazzling and expertly crafted.
    -The plot is convoluted.
    -It's not quite as charming as the previous two movies.
    -Henry Cavill brings good physicality, but lacks charisma and is pretty bland overall.
    -Tom Cruise is Tom Cruise, which is good in this case.
    -Seeing this in IMAX gives it an extra punch (both sound and visuals).
    -I will keep seeing these until they run out of things for Tom Cruise to jump/dive/hang/drive/sprint from.

    Andre the Giant

    ★★★

    An interesting look into the larger than life story of Andre the Giant. It felt like a good summary of his life, but never really dove deeper than that.
