Last five movies watched

The third "Fear Street" was weaker than the second, which was weaker than the first. Woulda been better as a two-parter, with the 1600s stuff - which quickly grew tedious, and was always going to compare unfavourably to "The Crucible" and "The Witch" - interspersed through the modern scenes.

"The Tomorrow War" was also too long for what it was, by about an hour.

I found "Jolt" outlandish fun and recommended it to my father, who thought it was stupid. So your voltage may vary! (Note: I love KB in anything.)

The Louboutin burlesque thingy was pretentious, though the routines were generally good.

Pick of the bunch: "The Mystery Of Henri Pick" is the most enjoyable film I've seen in 2021 and would have won even on a much stronger week. Drama with a little comedy and a tiny bit of romance, it's set in the French book-publishing world and concerns a masterpiece discovered in a pile of rejected manuscripts, and seemingly authored by a rather unlikely person.

[Viewed on: Netflix, SBS On Demand, Prime, SBS On Demand (despite me using the DVD cover), Prime.]
