Here are some short reviews of things I watched in August.
Movies
- Jungle Cruise: This turned out to be better than I expected for a movie based on a theme park ride. It had some good moments but never quite came together. (Disney+)
- Godzilla vs Kong: Meh. (Apple TV)
- Lake Placid versus Anaconda: Lots of screaming. (Netflix)
- The Suicide Squad: Much better than the first movie but still not great.
- The Last Mercenary: Jean-Claude Van Damme is having something of a career renaissance these days. This was much better than I expected and quite a lot of fun. (Netflix)
- Beckett: OK action flick with lots of implausible action and not much else. (Netflix)
- Mortdecai: Not Johnny Depps best. It wasn't quite quirky enough to be good. (Neflix)
- Sweet Girl: Another movie ruined by a non-linear plot. (Netflix)
TV Shows
- The Heart Guy (Season 5): The final season of this Australian drama got more soapy and less medical. (Acorn TV)
- Thorne: Older gritty and intense British police drama. Good but a bit grim. (Acorn TV)
- Monty Don's Paradise Gardens: If you like gardens you will enjoy this. (Acorn TV)
