Reacher season 2. Reacher is a different character this season, he’s bigger, dumber, and I wondered there for a moment if they were trying to make him out to be on the spectrum. This one is teetering on finishing to be a completionist or DNF.
Percy Jackson season 1. I didn’t read the books and have vague memories of the movies and being unimpressed by them. I feel like I’m too old for the new viewer target audience, and since I didn’t read them as a kid I’m missed by the nostalgia target audience. I get why others would like it though, certainly better than the movies.
Oppenheimer. I procrastinated for a long time, put off by the length and the “great man biopic” genre. I am glad I finally watched it. Cillian Murphy is the man. Downey shows off chops he couldn’t in MCU and Sherlock movies.
Silent Night (2023). I was surprised when I looked up after watching that it was directed by John Woo, of Mission Impossible 2, FaceOff, and Windtalkers pedigree. It is about what I expected for the genre (action/crime thriller with a Christmas schtick), but surprisingly flat for a movie coming from John Woo.
