Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning- This movie had some very intense and memorable action sequences and stunts, but was probably only the 4th or 5th best movie in the series. I really disliked the over the top exposition dumps where everyone keeps finishing each other's sentences, but overall, I was entertained. Tom Cruise has always shown up and delivered for every film in the series. I give it 7.5 stars.

Ballerina- This was not as good as the prior John Wick movies, but I still liked it. I'm not a fan of movies where the 5 foot 5 inch, 100 pound girls beats up an army of men, but this was a little more palatable seeing Ana de Armas (or at least her stunt double) get thrown around and take some hard hits while dishing out her vengeance. 7.4 stars.

Thunderbolts- This Marvel movie was not nearly as good as Infinity War or End Game, but was much improved over several of their last movies. It had some pretty good performances, but I can't remember the last time there was a really good or memorable Marvel end credit scene. 7.3 stars.

Juror #2- This drama was stressful and troubling. It was kind of frustrating watching the way the main character handled his situation. I don't know what else to say about it. 7.2 stars.

The Amateur- This was like a version of Jason Bourne, but he's from the I.T. department. I like the concept of the movie, but it just didn't deliver like I wish it would have. 6.9 stars.

Captain America: Brave New World- I saw this streaming on a YouTube channel several months ago. It must have been an illegal channel because the broadcast stopped only 80% of the way through the movie. I didn't care enough to find out how it ended. 5.9 stars.
