Ready or Not 2; Project Hail Mary, Reminders of Him

Movie 1: Ready or Not 2

This is a horror/comedy sequel to the 2019 original.  The opening scenes start where the first movie ends.  It’s basically a Satan worshipping bloody and deadly game of hide and seek.  Seldom have we seen more blood, complete with exploding bodies, in a non-war or chainsaw movie.  Once you get past the gore it’s a rather entertaining movie.  Not great film making by any means, but kinda fun anyway.

Movie 2: Project Hail Mary

The earth is faced with certain extinction, and a science teacher (Ryan Gosling) is on a spaceship whose sole mission is to save the planet.  The dialogue, special effects, direction, acting and sound are all Oscar worthy.  A science fiction movie with humor and a heart.  This movie made a record $81 million dollars in its opening weekend, on its way to becoming a sure worldwide mega hit.  This is great fun at the movies.  We have a friend who has seen it three times.  We will see it again.

Movie 3: Reminders of Him

We were very ambivalent about seeing this romantic drama.  Probably because the previews do this movie no favors.  But we were pleasantly surprised.  After a young woman is released from prison she tries to reconnect with her daughter who is living with her grandparents in rural Wyoming.  The situations and dialogue seemed realistic and heartfelt.  And the use of flashbacks helps the story line.  Very nice cinematography.
