Trust No One: The Hunt for the Crypto King (2022)
Doesn't clear up the mystery...
I watched this, and while I found it entertaining, it raised more questions than answers. I can't fathom why they didn't interview or at least investigate in more depth certain people. No interview with the reluctant wife I can understand, but what about Cotten's parents? Was the shady doctor the only staff at the hospital that the reporter talked to? I can think of a dozen questions that go unanswered. Ultimately, this documentary was a bit disappointing.
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
Better than I expected
I finally saw 'Star Wars: Solo' today. I was very pleasantly surprised! The first half of the movie is... just okay. I'd rate it about a 6 out of 10....
But then when they reach a sandy planet about halfway through the movie, it really seemed to shift in tone: the action was a little snappier, the dialogue was better, even the guy playing Han Solo seemed to become a better actor! I have to think that maybe this is the point where Ron Howard took over...
There was a twist in the story - actually two or three of them - near the end of the movie that genuinely caught me off-guard, and left me much more impressed with the movie. And the closing few minutes of the movie were not only funny, but heart-warming. I'd call the second part of the movie a 9 out of 10!
Of all the Disney Star Wars movies, I'd say I enjoyed this one the most. It's too bad it's doing poorly at the box office, because the ending left me wanting more. This movie was set up with a new villain revealed at the end and a lot more story to tell; if they made a sequel to any of the new Star Wars movies, it's this one that I'd want them to continue.
