Saw Havoc last night with the misses. Over the top action movie if you are into that kind of thing and if you liked Raid and Raid 2 (same director).

Conclave - Was weird to watch this just 2 days before Pope died. I like that it was this political intrigue style film a bit like the first season of Game of Thrones or part of The Godfather just with priests instead of gangsters or factions competing for throne. Final twist was awful and ruined the movie pretty much. They could have had another type of twist but had to go down some lame liberal agenda type one.

Also just before the Pope died, watched the Netflix film Two Popes, about the relationship between Popes Benedict and Francis. Released in 2019, it was watchable but certainly came across as a bit of a hagiography of the "social justice" Pope.

Disclosure: it wasn't my choice of film but the wife wanted to see Conclave and chose this by mistake. I have not disabused her of her error

After Val Kilmer's non fag or drug related death I decided to rewatch "Heat".

Well. You should too.

It was zog and retarded from its inception. Heat is glorifying crime life. We are desensitized to violence at this point. There isn't a single good character in this movie, everyone is evil.
