🍿 The Social Network (2010) – ★★★★★
Rewatched it again on flight and man this movie holds up. We need a sequel to show us how much more of a pathetic asshole Mark became. The dude truly is a third rate human.

These are the movies we have seen recently.
🍿 Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015) – ★★★★☆
Mission Impossible returns to form finally in movie #5!
🍿 The Martian (2015) – ★★★☆☆
This movie does not age well. The second half of this movie is so over the top. Donald Grover overacts his way through, and the final third act of this movie just feels out of place with the first half which is exhilaratingly good.
🍿 Conclave (2024) – ★★★★★
🍿 Premalu (2024) – ★★★★☆
Malayalam film industry is operating on a completely different level than rest of the Indian film industry. How do you take a such a cliche story and turn it into something endearing and joyful to watch? There is literally nothing original in this movie and yet it works completely because of its stellar star-cast, acting and writing.
🍿 Manjummel Boys (2024) – ★★★☆☆
Far too long at 2+ hours – this should have been a solid 90mins and it would have been edge of seat.
🍿 Gladiator II (2024) – ★☆☆☆☆
Arrrrghhh!! I actually rented this complete piece of crap and paid premium $ to rent it. I guess at least I didn’t see it in theater and regret more. What a hopeless sequel to one of my favorite movies form youth. Yuck!
🍿 Hridayam (2022) – ★★★★★
Logging for posterity that I rewatched it again in 2024. I love movies that play heavily on nostalgia – not everyone’s cup of tea but surely mine.
