The Old Guard (2020)
Erm... the actors were pretty decent. Some decent action bits too. But I was a bit tired and fell asleep a bit in the middle somewhere. The bad guy was a bland shallow stereotype and some of the characters undergoing some sort of immortal's "long-life" crisis didn't really connect with me much. But it's nice to see a same sex couple normalized without any special attention paid to the fact that they were a same sex couple.

Ip Man 4: The FInale 《葉問4:完結篇》(2019)
Essentially a martial arts showcase. It ain't bad in that aspect, but the storytelling feels bland and shallow.
Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)
Remember, give up on your dreams now while you're still young!
This flick turned out to be a delightful sugary romp with lots of catchy songs!

365 Days (2020)
I watched this only because I read about how sexually explicit it was.
So while teasing the audience with lots of bare skin and sexual positions that leave little to the imagination (minus any genital exposures), the sex is pretty much probably the only real reason to watch this - at least to just see what it is that everyone is writing about.
The setups are as cheezy as most say, and there's really not much of a story here. The frequent use of soft rock throughout all the sex scenes does kind of make the sex scenes kind of... less sexy.
That said, I personally found the leads candy to the eye, and the sex scene on the yacht out at sea did get me aroused. But I also found this film offensive in the way the male character is depicted as God's gift to women and the way that he treats them - especially in the first half.
That scene (spoilers ahead) in which he tells the female lead what she's missing by getting another woman to give him a BJ? I can't help but think... what is she missing exactly??? A chance to massage his ego and pleasurize him?

Exit (2019)
Nice! A few bits' pacing may be a slightly off, but overall, very enjoyable with characters that you root for. Appreciated that the lead is an everyday kind of guy instead of an idealized alpha male. Female character is kind of generic, but I still rooted for her. Love the chemistry between the two. As far as disaster movies go, this was a fun, wild ride.
