Death to 2021, rated at 29% currently on Rotten Tomatoes, I give a par.

  • It has funny moments.
  • It's a bit over the top. But duh.
  • It's only an hour.

It's dark comedy. For example, they talk about how the Afghans didn't win a medal at the Olympics, but they won medals in the shooting sports in their homeland as they cut to shots of Afghani militants shooting during a skirmish or war or something.

😛

It's on Netflix.

Army of Thieves, par. Good movie, and then I saw it was the precursor to the next movie I watched…

Army of the Dead, bogey. Just not a zombie guy. Didn't care for it.

The Wrath of Man: Birdie, a fairly easy watch if you like action movies.

Don't look up: Birdie, I thought it was frustrating in a good way, funny and also a good satirical look at the modern world, great ending too.

Red notice: a bogey for me, as i get older i just don't really like far fetched action movies with too many plot holes. I would have loved it as a 14 year old so it's not like its a bad movie just not to my tastes anymore, I'm pretty much the same with all the avengers type movies, just find them sillly and predictable.

I'm giving it only a par, because it was seriously about 30 or 45 minutes too long. I found myself fast forwarding 30 seconds at a time after about 100 minutes.

Though I did appreciate that the tech guy got the "how you will die" thing right at the end.

Probably was a bit too long alright but I did enjoy it

Queenpins, bogey. I feel like this could have been much funnier, much darker, much… more something. It wasn't.

I liked it. Had to watch it a couple of times to catch all the references. Not sure what causes it but it's sometimes tough to make out what people speaking on our TV are saying. Sometimes it's the over the top background sound but not always.


(edited)

1. Don't Look Up: Was prepared to be annoyed, but ended up liking it a lot.

As @iacas said, a bit too long. I found the middle boring but thought it started and finished strong. Birdie.

2. The Lost Daughter: Haunting, questioning, strong child acting, and ambiguous ending. All things I like in movies. Birdie.

This Changes Everything, bogey. I wanted to enjoy the movie, but it never really answered the "chicken or the egg" question, and it had some insulting (to my intelligence) things in it. For example, the movie spent maybe 30 seconds talking about how 1/2 of 1% was like if you had a plate of 100 cookies, and men came in and took 99 1/2 of them, then the only half cookie left would be for the woman director (or something.

Uhmmmm, thank you…?

The movie decried how women are sex symbols only, and how Rotten Tomatoes reviewers are 75% male… then talked about how Wonder Woman grossed $800M worldwide, like that's an entirely good thing? C'mon.

Agreed - wife didn’t love it, I thought it was more of a political “crazy this is where we are as a country” movie…but solid par

No Way Out, bogey. I'm sure it passed for good stuff in 1964 when it was made (okay, 1987), but man. It was nearly halfway through when the girl was murdered. Everything after that was bogus.

Even the twist at the end… meh.

NIghtmare Alley, par. Tempted to give it a bogey because it was a let down. Might have been colored by having seen the original, although the original bungled the ending. The current one did not. Great visuals from del Toro, but given this stacked cast, the sum was not greater than its parts and Bradley Cooper I just found... boring. The pacing was too languid. It got the ending right though. With actors like Blanchette, Dafoe, Collette, Richard Jenkins, David Strathaim, Tim Blake Nelson, Jim Beaver... I mean this is an all star cast. Hoped for more.

I enjoyed it back then. That was the height of Kevin Costner or approaching it. There was some celeb talk I don’t remember about Sean Young. Are there better spy movies sure but it wasn’t awful.

    • One thing I've noticed with Mini Drivers is that the manufacturers seem like they keep their quantities somewhat limited.  The last two TaylorMade Mini's and the Callaway AI Smoke Mini were sold out quickly. 
    • Huh? That's the niche of these mini-drivers. They can still work off the tee and off the fairway. They're designed for and work for both things, which is all that blurb says. You can see from the photos that it's a bit of a deeper face, which I find is more important off the tee than the fairway.
    • This statement doesn't make much sense to me.  So, I think the push and pull between a 3-wood meant for off the turf versus off the tee is how tall the face is on the 3-wood. I do not get how this mini driver would be good off the turf, or at least get the height needed to stop the ball as a normal 3-wood meant for off the ground. Maybe they care more about hitting the 3-wood off the tee versus off the turf. Nearly every strike would be low on the clubface relative to the CG location.  I would take that statement as more as marketing over what you would actually expect the club to perform.   
    • No, not that Minnie Driver. This one: It's a mini driver from Titleist, available for Tour validation/testing starting this week at Kapalua. It's available in righty and lefty and is only in 13° models for now. GT280 is a direct result of Titleist’s collaboration with PGA TOUR players on the development and testing of the TSR 2W prototype, which debuted on TOUR at last year’s PLAYERS Championship. With many players seeking an additional option at the top end of their setup, Titleist tour reps and R&D engineers worked with players such as Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris to dial in a 13-degree head that worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck. Now on Tour: New Titleist GT280 The arrival of the 2025 PGA TOUR season this week in Maui brings with it an addition to Titleist’s breakthrough line of GT metalwoods: the new Titleist GT280.
