Quarterly roundup March 2022 *Spoiler Free*

" To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day. "   These are impressions, not reviews. Look for someone much more qualified for those. Titles completed during this period 2022-01-01 to 2022-03-31   47 Ronin [2013]  I had heard mixed but generally positive things about this film.

Inglourious Basterds [2009] Doesn't really take itself seriously. Had fun with it though. Men in Black: International [2019] As a standalone film is okay but as an MiB movie it's only serviceable. The CGI and sound is good, not great but not on the same level as the 2016 Ghostbusters remake. Train to Busan [2016] So this is the second time I've watched this film and oh boy, it's still just as engaging as it was the first go around. Especially the end there, really tugging ...
