motorharpPrey (2022) - This was amazing! I really liked Legion and Amber Midthunder's character. She's a badass. I also really like the Predator movies. I think this may tie with the first one as the best. It may even be better. The premise is the Predator creature-thingies have been coming to Earth for hundreds of years and in this one Comanche Nation people have to deal with it, as well as the invading white people. Naru (Amber) takes it and them on and, unsurprisingly, kicks ass.
Studio 666 (2022) - This was a silly horror film, which I highly recommend, carried mostly on the charm of all the members of the Foo Fighters. The band needs to find an awesome recording location for their 10th album, and get sent to a mansion where murders took place in the 90s. I think my favorite goofball besides Dave Grohl was Pat Smear. He looked like he was trying not to laugh the entire time, and every line he delivered made me giggle. It was also a bittersweet watch, RIP Taylor Hawkins.
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) - A bit darker than the previous Tom Holland Spider-Mans, but still charming and hilarious in bits. I really like the chemistry between the three leads.
Thor: Love and Thunder (2022) - The only reason I saw this was because I needed to be somewhere with air conditioning. It was a fun movie. Christian Bale's villain was surprisingly uneven. The goats made me laugh Every. Single. Time. they were on screen. Highly recommend for escaping the weather for 2 hours, or whatever else you have going on.
North by Northwest (1959) - I couldn't believe I hadn't seen this movie, and only realized I hadn't seen it after watching a youtube breakdown of the set by Marina Coats (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=284iZJ0zzts). I tried to watch this every evening for the past 3 nights and fell asleep every time. But that doesn't mean it's not thrilling (it just probably would have been even more if I had watched it all in one chunk). Cary Grant stars as an ad executive who gets mistaken for a government agent by a... mobster? Then gets tangled up with a woman played by Eva Marie Saint. He tries to clear his name and just gets deeper into trouble. And the set design is pretty great!
