The 21-Word Review: Caught Stealing (Netflix)

You saw the marketing - it looked like a light Guy Ritchie clone. No, this was a very dark movie, not Ritchiesque.

The 21-Word Review: Greenland (HBO)

When I was little, channel 46 played bad movies. I'd spend Saturdays watching them. Channel 46 would have loved this one.

The 21-Word Review: Elevation (HBO)

It's mighty convenient that the alien / subterranean murder bugs use the Imperial measurement system instead of metric - or something actually alien.

The 21-Word Review: Honey Don't (Peacock)

In talking with my daughter the topic of Margaret Qualley came up which made me remember that I'd seen this movie.

The 21-Word Review: Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (HBO Max)

I was going to write a review, then the news about Rob Reiner hit. He left behind some incredible work. Tragic.

The 21-Word Review: Americana (Delta)

 A serviceable Cohen brothers movie without the Cohen brothers. Interesting enough, but never quite reaches the target it is aiming for.

The 21-Word Review: Megan 2.0 (Delta)

 By not taking itself seriously, the sequel ends up better than the original. Too bad I avoided it for so long.

The 21-Word Review: Jurassic World: Rebirth (Delta)

My hopes that Scarlett would save the franchise were dashed when the kids were introduced and insultingly poor decisions started again.

The 21-Word Review: The Naked Gun (Delta)

Definitely captured the spirit of the original series with an inspired cast and hilarious absurdity. And the OJ reference killed.

The 21-Word Review: Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline

Feels a bit like a money grab, but I suppose fans of the first book's story and style will like this.

The 21-Word Review: Leonardo DaVinci by Walter Isaacson

Brilliantly done. By focusing on areas of exploration rather than strict chronology, the reader leaves even more impressed by the genius.

The 21-Word Review: Nobody 2 (Peacock)

I do not recall the first one being quite this violent, but maybe I am confusing it with Better Call Saul.

The 21-Word Review: The Trinity Game by Sean Chercover

When the biography you're reading is too big to carry on a plane, you pick up long forgotten, saved Kindle titles.

The 21-Word Review: The Fantastic Four: First Steps (Disney+)

The best written Marvel movie in ages. Please don't screw this up by bringing in baggage from every other multiverse property.

The 21-Word Review: Smile (Netflix)

Watched over many days as I had to change the channel every time my wife - who despises horror - entered the room.

The 21-Word Review: 28 Years Later (Netflix)

I would comment on the odd obsession with the number 28, but considering the focus on these reviews I shall demur.

The 21-Word Review: 28 Months Later (Disney+)

Of all the places that I expected to be able to stream a horror zombie movie, Disney was not my first.

The 21-Word Review: 28 Days Later (Netflix)

This list always comes in handy when I'm not sure if I've seen a movie that I've been hearing about forever.

The 21-Word Review: How To Tell Toledo From The Night Sky by Lydia Netzer

Some books have been on my Amazon wish list for so long that I do not remember how they got there.

The 21-Word Review: A Hologram for the King (Hotel HBO)

Tom Hanks has made so many movies that it's possible to completely miss one - not a blockbuster, but still, completely missed.

The 21-Word Review: Weapons (HBO)

The unconventional beginning was much scarier than the somewhat conventional ending. (Yes, Sarah, I've seen it now. You can stop asking.)

The 21-Word Review: Nightbitch (Hulu)

I love Amy Adams so I will attempt to forget that this movie exists, thereby ensuring that my devotion remains untainted.

The 21-Word Review: The Monkey (Netflix)

For Halloween, I'm trying to watch more scary movies. In the background. While I am working. So I won't be scared.

The 21-Word Review: Rogues by by George R. R. Martin et al

The first book I downloaded onto my inherited Kindle was a perfect fit for multiple flights. Thanks for the entertainment, Dad.

The 21-Word Review: Holy Trinity (Delta)

I thought this was a new release, but it came out six years ago. What other major events have I missed?
