Recently Watched Movies 2026

I'm reading the book now. I'm maybe five chapters in. So far, it's a very good. The whole mystery/flashback thing is very well done.
I have the book on hold at the library. Not sure if others use Libby for ebooks. It can be frustrating if you're binging a series but it's great for one-offs.

For a while, I did a lot of e-books on my tablet, but lately I've gone retro and reading the paper versions. Both work, but for whatever reason, I prefer paper at least for the time being.

I got a new color kindle at Christmas (3rd or 4th one), which I prefer to either paper or a tablet. Easy on the eyes like paper, doesn't sap melatonin, easier to hold, can adjust fonts, backlit so you can read without a light on. Been reading more since I got it.
 
Transformers. Needed something to do, and the preview had an Austin Healy I didn't remember. This is honestly not a bad movie. Certainly the best of the series. Shia Labeouf (worst name in Hollywood history) is reasonably believable as an awkward teen. Megan Fox is probably as sexy as any woman has ever been on screen. They had to be misting her, she glistens. Several good actors in supporting roles. Lots of action, simple plot, it's a classic Saturday Matinee movie.
 
"Thrash" (Netflix, just released). I was expecting B grade, this was more like D grade. Not quite as zany and over the top as Sharknado, but this made the mistake of taking itself somewhat seriously. It shouldn't have. Or it should have been made better. Huge storm nails a small coastal town, tidal surge floods everything. An army of ravenous bull sharks rides the waves and instantly devours anything that hits the water. Other than main characters wearing plot armor. I always like Djimon Hounsou, he did what he could with this tripe. How did they talk Phoebe Dynevor into this (and also, is her entire career going to be Netflix streaming content?)? She spent about half of the movie crying and screaming pinned by a tree limb in her car as flood waters rose around her. Spent the other half crying and screaming due to labor pains. And I'd been impressed by Alyla Browne in several movies before, but she had basically nothing to work with in this. Just a terrible movie. But hey they set themselves up for a sequel, oh boy.

Ironically, I looked at that one and passed before watching Transformers. I'm a bit of a shark guy, but it just seemed like too much.

The Housemaid. 2025, Syndney Sweeney is Millie the maid. Brandon Sklenar is like the most handsome dude alive and is the husband of Amanda Siegfried who hires Sweeney. They own a big house in NJ and Sweeney is desperate for a job. Now why would any wife hire Sweeney as a live in maid? This is an old school psychological thriller. There are twists, some you expect, maybe not all. It’s well done. Can’t say more without ruining it but this is fun and enjoyable. Absolutely love the ending.

Finished up Project Hail Mary. I enjoyed the book, though I wonder how well it translates to the screen. Is it worth seeing in theaters?
 
Dust Bunny. Mads Mickelson and a very plastic Sigourney Weaver, plus a little girl Sophie Sloan who is excellent as Aurora. Aurora fears the monster under her bed. It looks like a dust bunny. Her parents tell her not to worry, but then stuff happens. She enlists the services of her intriguing neighbor Mickelson, to kill the monster. This is beautifully filmed in a location that sometimes looks like a fantasy city, but is supposed to be the U.S. it’s offbeat and weird and you aren’t sure what is really going on. We all enjoyed it.
It's on HBO Max now, I just watched. It's definitely odd. Not really sure what to make of it. It's unique, that's for sure. I did enjoy it.
