Here’s a few things I’ve watched recently:

The Room (2019) – I liked this movie. It’s about a couple who move into a huge house and find a hidden room that is sort of magical… In it you can ask for anything and it’s yours. Yeah, kinda like a magic genie, but there’s a catch. Watch it and see.

The Rental (2020) – I enjoyed this movie. It wasn’t the usual horror movie hack & slash fare. The characters were very developed and the acting was really good. It stars “Lip” from Shameless. Some things were predictable, but it turned out different enough to be very interesting. And just when I thought it ended and left me hanging, the quick scenes during the closing credits explained a few of the questions I had. Good movie.

Archive (2020) – Another movie I enjoyed. It takes place in 2038, where a guy gets a job developing robots with near-human AI. In 2038 they also have “Archive” technology used for when someone dies–they are able to store your “consciousness” or “mind” in an archive that you can access for up to, I think two years, so that your loved ones can say goodbye and get your final affairs in order. It’s a bit of a stretch, but it was a fun ride and had a surprise ending!

Greyhound (2020) – Great war movie, based on a true story. Takes place on a naval ship and Tom Hanks plays the ship’s Captain. Exciting and very loud… I shook the house with this one, not wanting to miss any dialog hidden in the noise. I was especially amused at all of the good meals delivered to the Captain throughout the movie–none of which he ever got a chance to eat.

I also watched a few older movies, just because I enjoyed them: Hollow Man (2000 – Kevin Bacon, Elizabeth Shue), Body Heat (1981 – William Hurt, Kathleen Turner), Lucy (2014 – Sharlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman), Men of Honor (2000 – Cuba Gooding Jr., Robert DeNiro), Jerry MaGuire (1996 – Tom Cruise, Renee Zellweger, Cuba Gooding, Jr.)
