^You missed one.

Hot Shots! (1991) - Not as clever or inventive as Airplane! or Top Secret!, but still funny enough with a few pretty good gags. B-

You Were Never Really Here (2018) - Engrossing from start to finish with, of course, an amazing performance from the great Joaquin Phoenix. Wish some of the motivations were a bit less opaque, but otherwise, fantastic. B+

Cloak & Dagger (1984) - Fun little flick. Cool to see Henry Thomas prove that E.T. wasn’t a fluke. B

Blockers (2018) - Didn’t expect this to be any good but was pleasantly surprised. Pretty funny throughout, and much more thoughtful when it comes to the characters and their dynamics than one would have thought. Not bad at all. B

The Karate Kid Part II (1986) - In some ways better than the first, though in some ways quite a bit worse. Mainly, Daniel feels pretty extraneous to the whole thing which makes the climax ultimately feel pretty tacked on. B-

Avengers: Infinity War (2018) - There are some obvious issues here from a storytelling perspective, but mostly all those are inherent to the very concept of the film. That said, these constraints are actually fairly easy to put aside and just enjoy the film for what it is. It’s ultimately pretty impressive considering, and very fun throughout. B+
