A few.
Batman: The Long Halloween Part I
That was good. I liked it.
Jiu Jitsu.
It was kinda crap. Entertaining crap.
The fights were good. There's a who's who of henchmen from modern day martial arts movies and Nicholas Cage was also there.
Cool story about a comet that opens a portal that lets an alien warrior fight it out with 9 earth warriors for fun every six years on Earth. What makes it even more awesome is the alien gave these warriors the power of Jiu Jitsu to give them a fighting chance and make it fair.
Good fighters, dizzying unpleasant camera work and at least one character I'd hoped would be put to better use. I recommend it especially if you have weed around.
Judas and the Black Messiah
It was good. Daniel Kaluuya's Oscar is well earned, but I think his best acting is when he's being shy or affectionate. Not his biggest speeches, though those were decent. Lakeith Stanfield is also excellent.
I'm split on JATBM over The Long Halloween.
I recommend them both, but I'd recommend The Long Halloween twice.

Emilia Clarke was quite good in this. It seemed to just come and go though with audiences.

Just watched Woody Allen’s A Rainy Day in New York (2019). It’s very Woody Allen—everyone talks like him, is made to look like him, and acts like him. One-liners abound (best one: “Time flies.” “Unfortunately, it flies coach”). A love letter to New York with more or less the same plot as Midnight in Paris. And it’s magical. Just a sweet little film, gorgeously directed, tightly plotted despite/because of the story’s looseness, with that crackerjack dialogue. I share many of Allen’s interests (old New York, old movies, old music), so this material seems made for me. Set—deliberately—in a fantasy New York in which no one speaks the way people do in real life, a deliberateness that most critics apparently missed. Subtler and more intelligent than Catcher in the Rye (a book, may I add, that I’ve hated for its pretension and subtle-as-a-monster-truck imagery ever since being forced to read it in high school), no doubt an influence. Unlike in that book, the protagonist (Timothée Chalamet) learns that he’s just as phony as the people he’s putting down: The scene with the mother destroys his little self-centered, why-is-everyone-a-poseur-except-me worldview. So good, just so good. Chalamet seems a bit awkward in the Allen role in the beginning—he’s no nebbish—but he grows into it as the movie goes on. Selena Gomez, of all people, adapts to the Allen style best. And Kelly Rohrbach, an actress I don’t know, gets a great scene with Chalamet; I would have liked to have seen her character more. Unfortunately, when this movie was finally released critics decided to critique Allen more than the movie. Too bad for them. In so doing, they missed out on a wonderful little flick.

How’d you like it, dawg? I saw it a few months back and loved it. Mind blowing production values.

Well, since I have been so rudely banished from my regular movie haunt (and to those responsible who may be reading this, you know I would be having a lot of "I told you so" schadenfreude right now about the Biden effect which we predicted months ago (though not as horrible as it turned out to be)-- I am posting my movie watching update here.
CAPTAIN NEMO AND HIS UNDERWATER KINGDOM 1969 -- G-rated adventure that I had seen before and got mixed up with another film. This is the one with the cat as a stowaway--the one with the chicken Herbert is War Gods of the Deep (not to be confused with Warlords of Atlantis or CITY BENEATH THE SEA which is a 1971 tv pilot turned into a movie--which seems to have taken a few ideas from this Nemo films, such as gold as a plot element). The highlight is the arrival of Mobula, a giant stingray kind of thing which is sometimes cheap-looking but overall not bad. This, like WarGods and Warlords, was made in the UK and uses a lot of locals for them. It seems like there are less underwater kingdom movies set in the North American region. If City Beneath the Sea is any example to go by for quality, then it is best they be made across the pond.
