Murder on the Orient express (2017)
The plot is self-explanatory.
I found it to be excellent. It's not often it takes me this long to predict the end.
The movie sets the tone of the plot to make you overlook the obvious clues. A clever misdirection.
Ocean's eight (2018)
It was ok. As good as a fourth of a series with an entirely new cast and obvious plot-holes can be.
Bright
A supernatural cop movie in an alternate universe with Will Smith. This is either a good cop movie with serious issues or a bad fantasy movie with a few redeeming qualities.
Elves are usually just humans with big ears but they made their movements distinct, at least. And I like the way the people talk. It sounds phony but it is amusing, so plus points for that too.
I think this was original pitched as a tv series; that way they could flesh out the anemic characters and background story, which are woefully inadequate even after 2 hrs.
Good special effects though.
Stasis (2017)
A bizarre B time-travel, body-snatcher and ghost sci-fy, set in the post WWIII wasteland and 2017.
The acting is a bit sloppy and stiff. The action scenes are really bad.
If you skip it you haven't missed much.

"The advantage of faith over reason, is that reason requires understanding. Which usually requires education; resources of time and money.
Religion needs none of that. - It empowers the lowliest idiot to pretend that he is wiser than the wise, ignoring all the indications otherwise "
