Love, Simon (2018)

Was ok.

Thought it was slightly weak with characterization and motivation at certain parts. I would also prefer an earlier ending once the main character has some sort of resolution. But for what the film is trying to be in these times, I'll give it an extra clap.

Ready Player One (2018)

Watched in IMAX 3D at Waterway Point. The front part was heavy with exposition and I sort of fell asleep after struggling for a bit. Woke up sometime just before the Saturday Night Fever dance and managed to stay awake till the end. The action sequences did feel a little too much for an old person like me. In the end, I felt this was a film targeted very much at a younger audience in spirit.

P.S. Thought this film was worth the IMAX 3D. After watching, I think I should've just gone for the standard version.

A Quiet Place (2018)

Not too bad. Got hooked by the premise. Story has structure and I cared for the characters.

Pretty tickled to find out that Michael Bay produced this very, very quiet film.

Pitch Perfect 3 (2017)

IMHO, if the second film was a step down in terms of quality and entertainment in comparison to the first, then this finale is a continuation down that same path. Watched on a plane and glad I didn't spend money to watch this in a cinema.

The Swindlers (2017)

Not bad. Kept me glued though I was watching on a tiny screen on a plane.

Professor Marston & the Wonder Women (2017)

Like this much. Explores some interesting ideas even as it tackles age old issues like love and conformity. Generally good performances. Recommended for mature audiences with an open mind.
