Annihilation - Interesting sci-fi movie uses being cerebral to excuse off-the-rails ending ???
Hellboy - Arguably too true to the comics and spends too much time in exposition. Enjoyable portrayal regardless. :)
Alita Battle Angel - So much potential! Strong movie that fizzles into a non-ending. :-\
Shazam - Second best DC movie since Nolan's Batman, but admittedly slept through part of it. :)
I Am Mother - Decent man vs machine scifi, but a little extreme at the end :)
Batman vs TMNT - Surprisingly good crossover! Motivations make sense. Splinter isn't a tool. :D
Cold Pursuit - Liam Neeson ineptly serial kills gang members and somehow avoids the consequences :)
Fighting with my Family - Great biopic about how Paige became a WWE wrestler. Probably sanitized, but still enjoyable :D
Glass - Frustrating, but gotta finish the trilogy. :(
The Mule - Fantastic story of an old gardener who runs drugs to provide for his daughter ;D
Finding Steve McQueen - Fun heist movie (based on a true story) :)
Stan & Ollie - Sad recount of how Laurel and Hardy repeatedly betrayed each other by trying to look out for each other. Impressive acting! :)

TV Series post!
Halo - Season One: John "Master Chief" struggles with Microsoft Cortana spying on him, meanwhile a prophesied young girl defends a planet. :)
Season Two: undoes all that in the first ten minutes and refuses to explain why dead people aren't dead >:(
Elsebeth - A side character from Good Wife/Good Fight immediately solves a murder the audience witnesses then spends the rest of the episode trying to prove it to boneheaded police ???
Tracker - Smallville's Green Arrow finds missing people for a price. :)
Krapopolis - Tyrannus is a self-declared king of early civilization, with supernatural parents and siblings, and ungrateful citizens. No description does this show justice. 8)
Welcome to Wrexham - Touching, humourous, and exciting documentary about Deadpool and some other guy buying a football team in Wales. :)
Clarkson's Farm - An idiot known for loving cars becomes an idiot who loves farming 8)
Taskmaster - Do you like laughing? Watch this show 8)
Ghosts (UK) - A young couple inherits a manor that they turn into a B&B, she has an accident and can now interact with ridiculous ghosts that died on the premises. :)
Ghosts (US) - A young couple inherits a manor that they turn into a B&B, she has an accident and can now interact with ridiculous ghosts that died on the premises. Now in American accents! :)
Roadside Rescue - A guy fixes delapotated vehicles enough to get them running again. A TV version of Vicegrip Garage from youtube. :)
Shogun - Masterfully done retelling of the James Clavell book. Lord Toranaga attempts to keep the peace in feudal Japan, and some Anjin makes for a useful distraction 8)
Physical 100 - Korean tournament of beefy men and women undergoing gruelling physical challenges. Second season as good as the first :)
