Beauty and the Beast (2017)

File:BeautyBeast.png My wife’s wanted to see Beauty and the Beast for her birthday. (I wanted to go too). The live action version of an animated classic was sort of on the must see list. It did not disappoint. It got a 71% by reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes but 85% viewer scores, and the reason both were that low is likely that the snowflakes were melting over traditional gender roles, and others got bent over some gay references. Puhlease.

Bridge of Spies (2015)
File:Movie-BridgeOfSpies.jpeg A good, slow, historical drama-thriller type movie. Almost a monologue. While based on real events, Hollywood took liberties with the timeline/truth (as usual).

Fantastic Beasts (2016)
File:FantasticBeasts.png I’m not a huge J. K. Rowling or Harry Potter fan: I found the movies entertaining enough. Normally, Harry Potters get caught up in the tech of magic, and the heavy ensemble cast of characters. This had more plot. So I liked it... for the genre.

No Time To Die (2021)
Longer and more backstory and ensemble to bond you to the other characters. If you like Daniel Craig's rebooted James Blonde, with broodier stories intermixed with whiffs of John Wick type action, you'll likely be pleased. If you find them tedious, this might be too much. My wife and I really liked it.

Olympus has Fallen (2013)
File:OlympusHasFallen.jpeg We watched Olympus has fallen to prep for the sequel London has Fallen (2016). Die Hard in the WhiteHouse. You don't watch for believability, but for good ol' action. Silly, over the top, one guy taking on an army kind of action. Little new, totally predictable, but fun popcorn flick anyways. .

No Time To Die (2021) The best of the reboot James Bonds. If you like the reboot, possibly the best ever.
