Movies Watched

  • 65 - Silly, but fun action film.

  • The Toll - We do love our quirky black comedies. This one is from Wales.

  • The Portable Door - Delightful fantasy movie. I loved it.

  • Ghosted - Decent romcom, but nothing too special.

  • Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania - Very uneven and nonstop action. There were no scenes to really breathe. Not my favorite.
