 Tuesday: The Good Half (2023)

      Renn has to fly home for his mother's funeral. On the plane he meet Zoey. They hit it off and exchange numbers. When Renn arrives at his dad's house, he at first tries to avoid his dad and his sister. He doesn't know what to say to them and feels guilty for not being around. His sister doesn't let him hide and convinces him to help her the next day with funeral arrangements. Unable to deal Renn meets up with Zoey in the city. She is his escape from his real problems. Renn struggles to be there for his family and really face his grief. I thought this movie was alright.

Friday: Black Bag (2025)

      The marriage of two special agents is put to the test when the wife, Kathryn is suspected of stealing a top secret weapon. Her husband, George, has to investigate. He wants to protect her. He is unsure if she did it or not. George hosts a dinner with all the agents he suspects, hoping to figure out who did it. The situation becomes more and more complicated. This movie was good. It's very intelligent. I will be honest I didn't always understand what they were saying. I think that might just have been because it was special agent lingo.
