We watched Mayday on Apple TV tonight. Fun movie with plenty of action and good laughs. Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh were great in it.
Movies
Quick reactions to films we’ve watched as a family—ranging from the bonkers fun of Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning to indie darlings, animated favorites and rewatching Into the Wild with my daughter. I note what resonated (or didn’t) and who joined us.
Out There: A National Parks Story
Last night Tammy and I got to go to the Parkway Theatre for a screening of Out There: A National Parks Story. There was a short panel afterward with the filmmaker and representatives from some of the supporting organizations. I was excited that Tammy got these tickets. I loved …

We watched The Instigators this evening. Meandering would be a good word for this one. Not our favorite.
Mazie and I went to Project Hail Mary. It was a second watching for me and her first. She isn’t the biggest movie person but loved this one and thought that Rocky was very cute.

We had a nice night on the couch with her back home and the incredible Out of Body documentary about his rise.

We watched Eternity tonight and it was a great movie. A very interesting concept and a touching story. Recommended. 🍿
Tammy and I went to Michael tonight and I really enjoyed the movie — more than I was expecting. His music was such presence when I was a teenager. Billie Jean is still amazing.
We saw Project Hail Mary today and it was every bit as good as everyone that has seen it has told me. I read the Martian and loved that book but had no idea about this book until it hit the theater. Just a great movie with incredible characters. Definitely one to go to the theater for!
