    Conclave

    ★★★½

    Enjoyable drama with great performances that felt solid but also like I'd seen all but the last 10 minutes before.

  • Speak No Evil

    Speak No Evil

    ★★★

    Enjoyable horror/thriller. McAvoy is almost too good at playing psychopaths with a charm.

    I'm not sure that this movie really knew what it was trying to do. I definitely don't know.
    Talented cast that does a good job with what they have, but this movie goes all over the place tonally and barely makes any logical sense character-wise. Good soundtrack though, lots of nice songs

  • Thor: Ragnarok

    Thor: Ragnarok

    ★★★★½

    Who would have thought a few years ago that Thor, the worst solo franchise in the MCU, would turn things around with it's third installment to show some of the most promise for the future. Great comedic timing, a fun adventure, and an engaging ensemble cast makes "Ragnarok" one of the best Marvel films.
