Went to see All the Money in the World. Thought is was good and worth the effort. Not sure how much was real and created but it was an intriguing story. Sort of personal for me. The original J Paul Getty Mueum in Malibu is one of my favorite places on the planet. It was where my fanatical love of history was really forged as a kid. The movie made some sense of the museum and its origins and reason for existing.

Been watching Stranger Things season 1 with the kids over the break. Got one more episode to go. Pretty weird, X files meets Stephen King's Carrie kind of weird.

Trails to Tsukiji
They did a show on Hamachi the other day. We went out to dinner and I had Hamachi sushi and then grilled Hamachi collar with stirred fried veggies. Red bean ice cream for dessert.

All the Money in the World: can't really find anything negative about it. Well done with a good pace and fairly accurate within Hollywood standards. Worth a sit.
Molly's Game Not bad. I don't really get into the whole, "honor among thieves" vibe that permeates the movie, but it's two hours of Jessica Chastain so.....

Stranger things season 1 is awesome.
Just started watching Black Mirror on Netflix. It's like a twilight zone with technology. Great stuff.
Also, Sherlock with Benedict Cumberbatch is fantastic. Modern day take, well acted, wonderfully written. There's a twist every episode but it was never predictable.

'The Orville' really hit its stride later in the season. "Can you translate that for dumb guys who might also be a little drunk?"
Hope to see a second season.

Silence (Amazon Prime) - Two Jesuit priests embark on a mission to locate their mentor, who has gone missing in Japan during the height of Christianity's persecution in the seventeen century. It's an almost three hour trek that explores religion, navigating a crisis of faith, and the brutal reality of conviction versus pragmatism.
If you're interested in those themes, then this will probably be an outstanding movie to watch. Otherwise, there's nothing here for you.
I never would have guessed this was a Scorsese film and he feels like he's channeling another director. It's a great movie, but definitely not in the same thread as say, 'The Departed,' or 'The Wolf of Wall Street.'

Bright. I enjoyed it for what it was. It's like someone took a late night game of Shadowrun and made a movie out of it.
The Expanse series. Loved the books and had no idea that there was a TV series. I am almost through the second season and quite impressed at how the handled everything so far.

Finally watched godless. Good shit. The ending was also great.
Watched star wars 4/5/6 and the first three Indiana Jones movies while sick as hell over the weekend. All great movies of course. Well Indiana Jones 2 is not 1 and 3 lol.

Absolutely hated Molly's Game- have no idea what people see in it.
