Extraction 2 was better than the first. Good flick.

Bottle Rocket, 9/10 Wes Anderson's first film. We'll probably watch all of them in the next couple of weeks.

Just saw Gran Turismo and really enjoyed it.

Loved that movie. Kumar was such a great character and cracks me up during the heist.

I am always quoting that movie. "On the run from Johnny-Law ain't no trip to Cleveland"

Transformers: Rise of the Beasts - As the saying goes, I went in with no expectations and was still disappointed. Probably tied with the Last Knight for the worst Transformers movie. It amazes me how they keep having these McGuffin devices come to earth by pure coincidence.

Outland (1981) - Can't believe I hadn't even heard of this Sean Connery flick until I saw it mentioned on Youtube the other day. I really like the late 70's/early 80's sci-fi aesthetic that movies like Blade Runner and Alien have. And this one has it. I like O'Neil's character, and how he is simply trying to prove himself to...himself. But the story felt too rushed. I get that its a remake of High Noon, but it probably should've built up more suspense with the investigation, as opposed to spending so much time on the cheesy ending.

Wait a second, how?

Regal has a Monday Mystery Movie every week of a movie that will soon be released. ($5)
You never know what it will be, so it's hit and miss.

Aniara. Foreign horror sci fi. It was mentally exhausting and depressing. Great movie on a populations descent into insanity.

Indiana Jones And The Dial of Destiny
6/10

The final Indiana Jones sequel is a good movie.
Anything that should be explained does get explained.

I'm very happy Indiana gives a believable explanation of why he and Marian divorced when talking to Helena.
A terrible movie-writing sequel cliche is a change in continuity without any believable explanation given for a change that Indiana Jones And The Dial of Destiny does avoid.
Also, Indiana does give a strong explanation of what happened to his son since he's not in this movie.




The action scenes are good including Indiana Jone's past his prime is shown to be a competent hero which includes he can still use the whip as a useful weapon.
The chase scenes in this movie are exciting and creative. The music does fit the scenes.
The climax is thrilling and has high stakes with a ticking clock.

A variety of locations including Italy.

Solomon states an obvious flaw for Indiana if he leaves New York City, and Indiana gives a believable explanation of why he's leaving New York City so it's not a plot hole.

A standout action scene is an underwater diving scene with eels as antagonists because eels, and an underwater diving scene were never shown in the past 4 Indiana Jones movies.
Good dialogue including the banter with Helena and Indiana.


Helena the other main protagonist is shown to be a competent protagonist, she has an understandable motivation for why she wants to find the Antikythera mechanism. Also, she is shown to have struggles which is the main reason why she is a strong female character that is not a Mary Sue.
Doctor Voller is a charismatic main antagonist that has an understandable reason for why he wants the Antikythera mechanism.
Doctor Voller has a crew, and they are shown to be competent antagonists including a tall brawny man with impressive strength.

The style ending in this movie is earned.

The movie does show what exactly the Antikythera mechanism can do.

This is the final Indiana Jones movie for Harrison Ford, and it didn't have any cliffhangers.

I had forgotten about Run Ronnie Run and it was $5 on vudu, so I snagged it. I was thinking it might be terrible but it held up pretty well. Lots of good cameos, but Koechner steals the show.

Lol…. I’m going to look into this further

You gotta see Rushmore, if you haven't.

"Harvard's my safety."

Saw all I needed to from the trailer.

"Harvard's my safety."

Rushmore has always been #2 for me, only behind Royal Tennenbaums.

My favorite Rushmore line:

"Nice nurse's uniform, guy."

"These are OR scrubs "

"Oh, are they?"

But wil likely watch again. Been 20 years + - for Rushmore.

The Essential Church.
Great movie. Good production value as well. It was also good to see some of the medical professionals that were silenced and ridiculed for speaking out during the pandemic get a platform to voice their opinions.

Devotion on Apple TV. Great movie, the wife cried

None of the films will ever match the Last Crusade with Sean Connery.
