The Truman Show
★★★★ Rewatched

Saw this when it was new but didn't think about it for many years. Not even during the two when I was doing a podcast about THE PRISONER, which is an obvious antecedent here.

The Rock
★★★½ Liked Rewatched

Great work from all three above-the-title guys, but you also get Mikey Biehn, John Spencer, David Morse, Tony Todd, Philip Baker Hall, Stuart Wilson. The only Michael Bay movie I really like.

Superman
★★★½ Watched

Happily this jettisons the darkness and violence of the Zack Snyder era, but it jettisons most of the grandeur & wonder, too. I love that it begins in media res, I like the supporting cast, I love Nicholas Hoult's Luthor, I love Krypto. Corenswet is a slight stop down from Cavill, who got at least something of the power & humility balance that Christoper Reeve communicated so indelibly. It's everything we've been saying we want from a Superman flick but... nothing that…

I don't care much about baseball but I love a baseball movie. This is the best one since EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!! but it resonates even more deeply than that one because these players are all amateurs, most of whom are in the bottom of the ninth of life.
