Project Hail Mary
★★★★★ Liked Watched

I wholeheartedly enjoyed this movie. I had read the first…I don’t know, quarter? of the book and decided I was intrigued enough to hold out for the movie, and then finish the book.

Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead
★★★★ Rewatched

I first watched this movie a number of years ago, but I didn’t remember much about it. I may have in fact fallen asleep while watching it.

Watching Gary Oldman play an idiot with Tim Roth as his long-suffering companion is definitely something everybody should see at least once.
