Recently watched A Man Called Otto .

Excellent movie with Tom Hanks in the lead role as Otto and his son plays the role of young Otto .

Oddly enough Otto is very similar to me or the other way around

7.5 on IMDB. Not a rating of true greatness but 7.5 is a solid rating which means it's probably worth a watch and likely to be fairly good.

^ Still need to see Oppenheimer, hopefully going this week.

Last movie I actually watched was Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. Purely watching Marvel movies and shows now in the hope they get good again. Was a bit of a chore tbh.

I have to process Windows updates tonight as Microsoft are releasing the bug fixing updates at 6pm.

Also the film is a bit long for my bladder so will have to wait for the DVD

Tbf I can't really argue against that.

Yesterday I watched Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

And tbh for the most part I thought it was a fun Film, yes the Film has it's "woke" elements, and imo the cute redhead could've done with a bigger role.

But all in all I actually liked the Film, in particular Simon, Edgin & Xenk from the heroes side were my favourites.

There is a fun antagonist performance in the Film as well, but I won't spoil that as the Film will make it fairly obvious who the villainous characters are anyway.

But yeah I liked the Film, it isn't the best Film ever made imo, but I thought that the Film was fun, which I'll gladly take.

If I were to score the Film out of 10, it would between a 7.5-8/10

I watched about 30 minute’s then lost interest and had it on in the background .. never finished it ..

Fair enough.

D&D is an acquired taste I think anyway, it's not really going to be for everyone.
