    War of the Rohirrim.

    It was all right. Fun and in-universe, but didn’t feel Tolkienesque or grand. I felt like it borrowed too much from, or tried too hard to connect with, The Lord of the Rings films. They were even immediately mentioned in basically the first line of movie, felt really unnecessary. It was chill though.

    The Six Triple Eight - it’s a great story that I can’t believe I never heard before, some of the acting was great, but some characters felt forced. Like the sassy grandma or the mom worried about money. Or the friend with the potty mouth and the preacher’s daughter who always got offended. It really felt like they had a checklist of stereotypical characters to have.

    I stopped watching about halfway through. I just couldn’t watch anymore after ::: spoiler spoiler the scene where she gets upset about the dog tags that ends with them just going, we’ll find his letters, then cut to swing dancing. :::

    Finally checked out Heretic.
    I liked it, and recommend it. Hugh Grant is great as a charming psycho, and it’s refreshing to see victims that actually use thier brains.

          The escape. I like why he was doing it but the escape seems like shorthanded. But great film though.

            I thought

            spoiler

            the vent was odd. But then I remembered that room was basically a loop.

            It was pretty quick, maybe if they added another minute or something of trying different things.
