🍿 Wolfs (2024). ★★½

A rectangular image with a review of the movie Wolfs (2024). The movie poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Okay selected. The review reads: Clooney and Pitt just bouncing off each other is good entertainment. This isn't at the level the Oceans films were but I don't think it's as bad as a lot of people seem to think it is. There were some plot lines which seemed to go nowhere, the whole doctor knowing them both, and a major new high end hotel having cameras in the rooms is not credible. It would be out of business the minute one was discovered by a guest. It rolled along perfectly fine and wrapped up neatly but with an opening for a sequel. Standard stuff.

📺 It’s time to settle in and watch the last episode of Slow Horses S4. This show is so good but I can’t wait for weekly drops so held off and then watched the first five episodes over the last two nights ready for the final.

The local state Greens mp is set up along the river in West End talking to people. With only three weeks until the election I had to look up who the Labor candidate is that’s how invisible they are.

You can’t just turn up at the Saturday markets occasionally and hope people remember you.

📷 Started going through my photo albums a week ago to get rid of screenshots, duplicates etc. I’ve accumulated a lot of unwanted stuff over the years.

I’ve just finished the cull and there’s now 10,728 photos in the recently deleted album. Now to go through the 836 photos I dropped into “misc”.

🍿 Predestination (2014). ★½

A rectangular image with a review of the movie Predestination (2014). The movie poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Poor selected. The review reads: A time travel and paradox plot line which becomes more convoluted as each reveal happens with each switch between the past and the present. Having randomly come across it I had no expectations, which was a good thing. Maybe I was too tired to properly enjoy it but it was all a bit overdone and the final moments seemed inevitable but contrived.

🍺 It’s 4pm so I’m calling the week as over. Time to have a beer and lean into the long weekend.

You don’t really think about how much you move your dominant arm around until you have a sun spot (bcc) cut out right on the ball of the shoulder and the doctor says “try to limit movement for the first 48hrs”.

Get your skin checked regularly people.

🍿 Coming to America (1988). ★★★

A rectangular image with a review of the movie Coming to America (1988). The movie poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Good selected. The review reads: Decided to watch this again after the recent passing of John Amos. It would likely never be made now but as a product of its time it’s great. Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall comedically bouncing off each other while John Amos and James Earl Jones both deliver serious roles but half expecting them to break into comedy at any moment as well.

🍿 Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre (2023). ★★

A rectangular image with a review of the movie Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre (2023). The movie poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Okay selected. The review reads: Finally got around to watching this and I could have probably gotten by a bit longer. Guy Ritchie must have spent about thirty minutes pulling together discarded ideas and scenes from some of his other movies and then found a weak plot to try and thread it all together. Some big names in this but that didn't help it. It's ordinary but watchable as a standard by the numbers Ritchie affair.

🛥️ Taking the City Cat ferry home on the river really is one of the best ways to commute.
