📺 Finished watching Star Trek: Discovery (Season 5, 2024) ★★½

A rectangular image with a review of the television series Star Trek: Discovery (Season 5). The show poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Poor Okay Good Great with Okay selected. The review reads: A life long Star Trek fan, I’d been struggling to stay with this show in the previous two seasons. It’s definitely one which has had fans very clearly in the love or hate camps. Maybe knowing it was the final season meant the writers aimed higher and wanted to give a sense of completion but this season was an improvement on the previous two and I came to enjoy it again. All things considered, not as good as the first two seasons but a satisfactory conclusion.

🍿 Watched Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (2024) ★★½

A rectangular image with a review of the movie Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare. The show poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Avoid Okay Good Great! with Okay selected. The review reads: It’s fine, there are laughs, things blow up, the actors work well together, it leaves it open for a second movie. A pretty standard action/comedy outing by Guy Ritchie. Be good if he could stop trying to pump out so many movies and maybe just take a bit of extra time with each one to lift the quality.

A measured approach.

🍿 Rewatched Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1968) ★½

Across the bottom is a rating of Avoid Okay Good Great! with Avoid selected. The review reads: The decline in quality from Planet of the Apes to this sequel is astonishing. It’s simply just not good.

🍿 Watched Operation Mincemeat (2021) ★★★

A rectangular image with a review of the movie Operation Mincemeat. The show poster is on the left and the review on the right side. Across the bottom is a rating of Avoid Okay Good Great! with Good selected. The review reads: It’s not too bad if you’re looking for something based on factual events with a bit of dramatic licence to pad out the plot. I enjoyed it, wouldn’t put it on the watch again list though.

Happy Towel Day to those who celebrate!
