    Last few Jurassic Park movies haven’t been as good as Lost world and the other one were.

    Haven’t seen Dominion.

    The OG still stands alone for me but I did like the first Jurassic World, even if it was basically a replay of the 1st. I always laugh when people bring up Lost World because I took a script writing class at WSU and the prof used it as an example of what NOT to do. Feels like the movies have turned into PG horror where the dinos get close to killing a human but then decide not to.

    The Grey Man on netflix was pretty good if you into high action films. Ryan Gosling is no 007, but was a good movie nonetheless.

    Just saw Dr. Strange. It was okay. Not as good as I expected though.

    Have any of you watched the Netflix Docuseries, "I Just Killed My Dad."

    Wow. It was really well done and a tear jerker.

    Finally saw Best Years of Our Lives. I know it's been around forever. Started watching some years ago but it was late and couldn't stay awake. I liked that it wasn't just rah rah, real impact of war on veterans, including those who were seemingly OK, and on their families.

    Also watched Anthropoid. About assassination of Reinhard Heydrich. We can debate the tactic. He was replaced with another murderer and 5000 Czechs killed in revenge. But I still call those who killed him heroes.
    Do me a favor and don't say vaccines and masks just like Nazis.

    Took the wife to Alamo Drafthouse for a special 50th anniversary screening of The Godfather. That masterpiece never gets old! She had never seen it, so debate was watch at home where we can pause and I can explain things but the phone is a distraction, or on the big screen where phone stays away and she loves the margaritas but tougher to explain things. Overall she really enjoyed it, gave it 8/10 and only cost us $75 after tickets, drinks, popcorn and loaded fries. She even said she wants to go back this Sunday for Part 2!
