Spiderman - No Way Home - Thoroughly enjoyed this version. I was apprehensive going in with the whole multiverse stuff hanging over our heads, but I found that they handled it in a very non-confusing way. All of the guest stars really hit the spot too. Maybe the best live action Spiderman movie to date.
The Matrix Getting ready for the latest release, I went back to re-watch the first three. The original was definitely very good. I hadn’t seen the entire movie from start to finish in forever, so I had gotten lost in the timeline and what was real, etc. The re-watch cleared that up.
The Matrix - Reloaded This was not a very good addition to universe, just a tool to allow Keanu to show off his fighting skills, over and over again. I don’t remember anything about the third movie and haven’t seen it yet on this re-watch.
Ride the Eagle Jake Johnson conditionally inherits his recently deceased mother’s (Susan Sarandon) cabin and she has left him a series of tasks he must complete in order to inherit. We get J.K. Simmons as the creepy next door neighbor (actually lives across the lake). And he reconnects with an old flame played by the woman who played Janet in The Good Place. This is a real indie movie and that vibe is there throughout the movie. Not great, but it was a good watch.
Hear After An aspiring actor dies suddenly and heads to the after life. His first stop is sort of a weigh (way?) station where Christina Ricci’s character informs him he died without a soul mate, so he needs to find one or his spirit will simply cease to exist. He spends the remainder of the movie looking and maybe finding one.
Comedy Monster Jim Gaffigan’s latest stand-up on Netflix. He is a little bit edgier than usual, but a fun watch none the less.
