Don't Look Up 2021
Moderately successful as a comedy, has a decent cast that do well in the context of individual scenes. But... completely misfired as a satire (for me). Amounted to an overly indulgent, overblown piece of disaster porn.

Arrowsmith 1931
The medical aspect of this story hits a bit different now after two years of COVID...
That aside, I found this to be a very engaging drama about the struggles of maintaining a marriage when one party's job takes so much of their time. Ronald Colman and Helen Hayes make a great couple, and both give very fine performances. There were also a number of artistically inspired visual/cinematographic choices in the second half. If I have any complaints, they are that Colman was a bit too old for his role, and the story threads could have been fleshed out a little more (Myrna Loy, for instance).

Going Bye-Bye! 1934
Is it wrong that their pain brings me so much pleasure? 😁
Rediscovering L&H shorts, which I remember watching as a kid, has been so rewarding and gosh darn hilarious!

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 2022
Plenty of fun but started to drag after a while. It was just a little too long.
