Free Guy (2021), Jungle Cruise (2021)

Cute and entertaining.  Two great movies to watch while being stuck in the economy class on an international flight.

The Flash (2023)

This movie was probably made years ago.  Due to politics and infighting within DC, it was not released until now.  I feel bad for this movie; if it had been released before Marvel's multiverse phase, it would probably do very well.

It seemed they just threw all action movie tropes into this one.  Time travel, multi-verse, old experienced guy teaching new stupid naive guy.  Somehow it didn't feel too strange.  The movie was still enjoyable.  There were a lot of fun one-liners.

The only thing that I wanted to pick on was, there seemed to be no security at the big corporation bio lab, at Bruce Wayne's manor, and at the Russian Siberian prison.  Everyone simply walked in.  There were guards, but they were more reactionary, not preventative measure.

Aquaman 1, Wonder Woman 1, and Shazam 1 all did very well.  But then, Wonder Woman 2 and Shazam 2 were, um, not as impressive.  Will The Flash follow their footsteps?  Only time can tell.

First Man (2018)

It was a strange movie about Neil Armstrong.  It focused a lot on his remembrance of his dead daughter.  At first I thought, ok, he was being a sentimental father.  Then it kept happening.  It was as if Neil Armstrong didn't care about his two alive sons.  It became creepy.  So I wasn't sure if this was real, or it was dramatized for the movie effect.

I was also glad that I didn't watch this in a movie theater.  Too much light; too much shaking.  It made me dizzy even on a small screen.

Being a huge space nerd, Math Teacher didn't like the movie either.  Not enough space and science-y stuff.  He preferred Apollo 13 (1995).

The Goonies (1985)

Surprised that I never watched this movie.  I always thought it was about mafia.  Turned out there were murderers in the story.  So I wasn't too far off.

Another great treasure hunting story.  Every character (child or adult, good guy or the villain) had memorable personality.  It was enjoyable.
