I’ve watched Finch. It’s a serviceable, small scope post apocalyptic movie with a reliably charming Tom Hanks.
Also there was Tetris - I thought I’d love this movie but it’s just ok. Sadly it’s another movie about entrepreneurship and the struggle to be a 'good' capitalist so it falls a little flat in the end. The struggle with communism and the fall of the Soviet Union is more of a backdrop and not really explored well. It has its moments but overall it’s not for me.
The last one was The Greatest Beer Run Ever which I’ve liked. There’s not much to it but another coming to terms with the Vietnam War, the lies and the uselessness of it all. It’s told in a farcical manner and the pacing was ok.
All those movies are Apple TV because I’m in the trial period so I’m watching it dry. What stood out to me was the use of very prominent music which I presume is very expensive. Oh and all of the movies were at least 20 minutes too long.
