It's a good movie.  It was on my short list when I did a sports movie 
marathon a few weeks ago.  But all the sports movies I watched were 
football based and this is baseball movie.


I watched:


Invincible (Amazon streaming) Season 2 resumed a couple of weeks ago.  I 
watched the first two episodes that were already available.

"This Must Come as a Shock" - Season 2, episode 5.  Picking up where the 
last episode ended Mark is still on an alien planet.  The people build a 
ship so he can return home but ask that he take his half brother with 
him.  He does and his mother takes it surprisingly well, all things 
considered.  She is basically asked to raise her murderous ex husband's 
son.  Meanwhile the Martians finally head towards Earth forcing the team 
to break into two with one group going to stop the Martians and the 
other left to protect Earth resulting in a cliffhanger ending involving 
both teams.

"It's Not That Simple" - Season 2, episode 6. This episode resolves the 
cliffhangers from the previous episode.


Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire (theatrical) Latest entry in the new 
Godzillaverse franchise.  Picking up after "Godzilla vs. Kong" there is 
an uneasy truce between the two titans.  Kong lives in hollow Earth and 
is searching for his people while Godzilla remains on the surface and is 
hunting other monsters and has basically become the savior of humanity. 
Although it's almost comical how one country tries to "stop" Godzilla 
from trashing one of their cities.  Look if Godzilla needs to trash your 
city to stop some other monster, just stay out of his way and let him do 
his thing!  Anyway Kong finally finds his people and it turns out they 
aren't very nice.  Forcing him to call Godzilla for reinforcements and 
once again save the day.  Story wise, the plot was paper thin.  But it 
did deliver on giant monsters smashing stuff.  I'll take what I can get. 
  But I would appreciate a better story next time.  Or at least better 
acting!  I know it's a giant monster flick, I was a bit spoiled with the 
earlier movies having much better casts and stories than this one.
