Three movies that I watched yesterday that I really enjoyed:

On the Count of Three (Wikipedia) (IMDb)
This is a movie about two men who make a suicide pact. Probably some content warnings for people who may need it, since this, although billed as a comedy, is a movie that deals with some dark topics. I found it terrifically engaging with a complex story. There were a few moments in the movie where I felt myself comparing it to The Shawshank Redemption as the movie is very male and includes a strong friendship between two men, even in the face of adversity. The final scenes of the movie varied an enormous emotional punch for me.

My Old Ass (Wikipedia) (IMDb)
This one is about a young woman who, thanks to some magic mushrooms, is able to communicate with herself in the future. The future self hides some of what the future holds, which causes some dramatics in the present. The main characters of the movie have a symmetry in their stories that I felt were particularly nice. It was a movies about beginnings and endings. One of the last scenes was also carried that emotional punch.

I did note that there were a few negative reviews on IMDb as the main character has a “straight awakening”. Seems to be that there are people who think that a movie that shows a queer character having a heterosexual relationship is somehow bad for the LGBT movement. Personally? I think sexuality can be messy. Didn’t do me any harm, but I’m not a LGBT person, so maybe I don’t have a place to talk on this one.

Bombshell (Wikipedia) (IMDb)
Terrific movie about the sexual harassment of women at Fox News for decades, and the misogyny demonstrated by the GOP presidential candidate at that time as well. I was surprised to find myself relating to Megyn Kelly, talking head for the corporate media establishment. Wonders never cease. Allison Jeanney was criminally underused.
