38) The One & Only Ivan - B
39) Timmy Failure: Mistakes Were Made - A-
40) Flora & Ulysses - A-
41) The Princess - B. Outstanding action & characters & thematic story, thoroughly mediocre dialogue.
42) Rosaline - B+. Smart & funny, though a touch on the contrived side.
43) Artemis Fowl - D

We only salvaged Artemis Fowl at my wife's insistence. I started reading the book while the movie played, & the book is SO much better it's insane.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!

44) Shrek - A-
45) Shrek 2 - A-
46) Nimona - A. What a ride!
47) 1917 - B+. Beautifully shot & acted, but Mendes plays a little too fast & loose with the passage of time & space.
48) Jungle Cruise - C+
49) The Incredible Hulk - B+
50) Stan Lee - B. It was a lot more balanced than I expected, which was a big plus.
51) Indiana Jones & the Dial of Destiny - B. A fun time, better than Crystal Skull.
52) The Muppets (2011) - A-

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

We went to 'Indiana Jones' tonight. It kind of reminded me of 'Afterlife'----------occasional clunky parts, but overall a huge improvement on the last flick.

I saw Sound of Freedom. An expectedly heavy film, but a little slow. Supposedly based on a true story, so I guess that's to be expected. It was good enough.

53) Antarctica (2020) - B+. Too short; several points could've used more elaboration, & some crucial topics were left out.
54) Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse - A-. Too long; what I thought should've been the denouement turned out to be the entire last act.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Wow, she really gets around, each of those are about as different from each other as possible.

I saw Jujutsu Kaisen 0. It's not as good as the series, but it's fine. Sort of unremarkable.

58) Murder Mystery - B-. Surprisingly well-thought-out for latter-day Sandler.
59) Red Notice - B. Reynolds really does just play Deadpool in most of his films, but he's so darn GOOD at it that this becomes a feature rather than a bug.
60) In the Heights - A

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

64) Robin Hood: Men in Tights - B-
65) Beauty and the Beast (1991) - A-
66) Chicken Little - C. Script is actually ok, but the animation is ugly, the music editing is sloppy, & the Runt character is obnoxious.
67) UHF - A+

68) Aliens Ate My Homework - C. Some elements were handled incredibly well, others incredibly poorly.
69) Mean Girls - A
70) Bubba Ho-Tep - B-. The ending is a little abrupt, but overall a fun time.

^'Bubba Ho-Tep' is one weird flick. I mean, I like it, but it's pretty wacky.

^Bruce Campbell as Elvis Presley in a nursing home, 20+ years after swapping places with an Elvis impersonator who then publicly died as Elvis, investigating a mummy preying on the residents.

71) Aliens for Breakfast - B-. The weaker book made the better film.
72) Kubo & the Two Strings - A

73) Ocean Odyssey - B-. Kinda unfocused, & the animation/sound effects are annoying.
74) The Flash - D+. Mixed bag of a script, mixed bag of acting, really freaking ugly.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

I watched Jujutsu Kaisen 0. It's pretty good, there's an interesting twist you don't usually see in anime, but otherwise it's a bit generic and not as good as the series is.

Edit: I had forgotten I already watched this lol, apparently it's pretty forgettable. I've been binging a lot of anime, it's starting to blur together.
