No plans to go - zero interest and the other two choices are ‘Project Hail Mary’ and ‘Devil 2’.

BUT - I was taken by the Silky Otter’s plot summary.

That’s got to be AI - No❓

The other summaries do seem more considered, so perhaps the summary writer is as inspired by ‘Michael’ as I am.

Inspired by @derekpeden I recently started to rate movies, shows and books on a consistent scale - with real rules and bit by bit visiting the archives and updating accordingly. Posted my 🎬🖇️ Peaky Blinders review this morning and even I was shocked how low it came out - in the old days it would have hit 3 1/2 for sure.

Not yet finished the series - which is telling even of itself - but my review is likely going to lean towards 🎬🔗 Andrei’s

At first blush, the German heist strikes me as less Oceans 11 and more Sexy Beast.

Rewatched 🎬🔗 The Thursday Murder Club last night. Turns out the first time I watched it I didn’t log it.

🔗 Fixed

At the time I remember I gave it 3 stars - because being a big fan of the books - expectations high.

Now I give it 4 - Because I wasn’t expecting much.

I guess the truth sits at around 3 1/2.

TIL that Glen Close has been nominated for an Oscar eight times. 🎬🤯

I know how he feels. 🖇️🎬 My Review 😂

I did watch 🎬 One Battle After Another - and it was absolutely marvelous. I do my reviews on Lettrboxd which get pulled to my blog - not sure yet how top connect all that with all this new stuff on micro.blog to create a seamless experience - so until then .. you can get to the review here.
