Bad Boys for Life
Will and Martin are again outstanding in their comedy. I really like the return of Reggie as it is one of my favorite scenes from Bad Boys II where they make a scene when he picks up Martin's daughter.

Shrinking
Let me start by saying something slightly controversial. I have never been a big fan of Harrison Ford as I think he is overrated. However, this show puts him where he belongs for everyone else. He was funny, he was emotional, and he was believable. This honestly goes for the rest of the cast as well

Speaking of the story, most of the episodes are stand alone with some small exceptions which allows you to jump in an out. Obviously, the paintball episodes are the best, but there are some really good episodes. Then there are episodes that are absolutely catastrophic.

Bad Boys II
A nice change from the first movie was by adding some additional interpersonal issues that add to the comedy. They never feel like a distraction which is good. Plus the bad guys in this have a nice life of their own. They are a little stereotypical 90s villains...

Mickey 17
This movie appears to be a faithful adaptation of the book… for the most part. There are of course something that have been added or removed, but my wife read it and said it is pretty close. My wife did say that the book felt more serious in the book where the movie for sure lighthearted.

Dead Poets Society
Let us start with how outstanding Robin Williams was. I am so sad that he isn't around speaking that he made such an impact on so many people in my generation. I still think about Flubber from time to time, Bicentennial Man, Hook, and his stand-up specials. He does so well as does Robert Leonard

Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
This movie is well received and with good reason. It was very funny and the action with it feels good. There are some very interesting visuals in this as well. I mean the scene with Bradley Cooper is way funnier than it should be.

Bad Boys
Will and Martin are a great paring, which is why in 2024 we got a new Bad Boys movie that I am looking forward to watching. This isn't Oscar worthy, I mean it is an early Michael Bay, but it is very enjoyable to watch. They do a great job of just working off of each other and pushing the envelope

Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre
It is a Guy Ritchie film staring Jason Statham. That is the quickest description for movie people to understand what is going on. This is an airplane movie. You can't go anywhere, it is a little under 2 hours so you can watch this and then a TV show episode and be entertained.
Movies
The Fall Guy
You can see the friendship that Ryan and Emily have. These two being friends outside the movie is blatant, and it makes it so good to watch. The jokes, the chemistry, the silliness, and the witty give and take is just on point. It is everything we want from a love story or buddy comedy.
Movies
Crazy Stupid Love
This is one of my wife's favorite movies. Between this and Space Force she really likes Steve Carrell, but she doesn't like The Office. What makes the story even better is the way that it weaves all the stories together and makes for a great ending.
Movies
Knives Out
That is something else this movie does really well. Provides an excellent story where there is no real wasted portion of the movie. Every single scene is brought back to show either some clue that we missed watching it or some additional symbolism
