Tuesday: Radio Days (1987)
This movie tells two stories. One is about a young boy from a big family growing up in the 30s and 40s in New York. His family is obsessed with the radio. Each member has a certain show they like. When there wasn't much hope they found comfort in the radio. The second story is about a young actress who becomes a famous radio star. The business changes her. I thought this movie was alright.

Alex is a young woman who hates her office job in London. She is seeing a young man named Bob. He is an artist. They get a long really well. What's unique about their relationship is that Bob is also seeing a doctor named Daniel. There is an understanding. Bob dates both of them and they don't talk about the other. This works for a time. Then Bob gets a job in New York. He isn't sure how long he will be gone. This brings new light to the complicated relationship they all have. It seems too hard to maintain. This movie was alright.

Saturday: Bank of Dave (2023)
This is based on a true story. Hugh is a London lawyer who is assigned to help a man named Dave see if he can set up his own bank. Dave is a wealthy man living in a small town north of London. He is very generous. He likes to give people loans so they can start businesses, get on their feet, etc. Most of these people are turned down by regular banks. Dave wants to set up his own bank so he can give loans legitimately. All the profit will go to local charities. A new bank hasn't been approved in over a hundred years. Hugh basically goes to the town to tell Dave it's not possible. But Dave soon wins him over. They do their best to start the bank, facing many obstacles along the way. This movies was alright. It's a good story.
Sunday: Supercop (1992)
This is a Chinese film. Although the only version I found with dubbed in English. Ka Kui is a Hong Kong detective. He is sent to China on a special assignment. He is to help break out a criminal named Panther. Panther is the brother of drug lord. Working with a Chinese inspector, Jessica, he gains the trust of Panther. They are led to his brother. They aim to take down the drug lord. It doesn't go according to plan. I thought this movie was alright. It's weird there was only a dubbed version. The dubbing was ok, but I would have preferred to just watch it in Chinese with subtitles. Dubbing on live action movies just looks silly and off. I mostly watched this movie because Michelle Yeoh plays Jessica. I wanted to see one of her younger martial arts action roles. She did most of her own stunts.
