I've seen a few in the past few weeks.

| 1. Ant Man & The Wasp |
Very good second entry into the series. It still bugs me how Scott Lang is supposed to be so good at what he does and so smart, but the movies manage not to make him seem that way. I get that Paul Rudd is funny (as are his crew who are back), but he skims the borderline between being competent and incompetent, while everyone else is uber confident. Good movie though, with good character beats. Don't see this before Infinity War. I took my son to see it, and he hasn't seen Infinity War. I had to be careful not to spoil him.

| 2. The Spy Who Dumped Me |
I was dragged to this one and didn't expect to like it. But it turned out not to be what I expected, and I liked it! Mila Kunis does well in the role of the clueless person caught up in events beyond her control, and along with her sidekick, plays the whole thing off well.

| 3. The Meg |
Again, a movie that I didn't expect to like. And again, I liked it! It followed a lot of the same beats of other big fish movies but dangled a lot of them in front of the audience, and then didn't fulfill those beats- going in a different direction. Pretty bloodless for a shark movie owing to its PG-13 rating.

| 4. Jurassic World | & Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom |
Before this last week, I'd not seen any of the Jurassic Park movies, but Jurassic World was on TV, and then I was dragged to see Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Chris Pratt was really good in the role, and though it was truly a popcorn flick, it was an enjoyable popcorn flick.

Girls Night and Weekend at Bernie's combined. Nice comedic flick, turn your mind off, and enjoy.
