Cinderella Man (2005), again. Not the best boxing film, but the best film about a boxer.

I liked "ROCKY". The more you hit him the smarter he got. (According to that certified genius who played Rocky.)
I think the Rocky films are a very accurate depiction of what Sylvester Stallone imagines boxing is like.

Midsommar. It's a bit twisted, in a good way though.

I tried watching the "Towering Inferno" and it is such a boring movie that I just can't. The dialogue might as well be "Blah, blah, blah."
But it is also unintentionally funny, like the 70s fad with rugs.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Godzilla minus One. Prequel to the 1950s original. Only showing one week here, the subtitles must be a problem. There were only four people in the theater when we saw. (That WAS 4 pm on a Friday.)
If you like kaiju this one is a must.

Worst film version of this story I've ever seen. The best thing I can say is that I saw it for free on YouTube.
