Another film in my project to catch up with Alden Ehrenreich before Solo: A Star Wars Story is released.* Both Ehrenreich and Collins were good in their roles, and it’s always nice to see Annette Bening, but overall this movie was not very good. This movie could not decide if it was film about two people who work for Howard Hughes, or a film about Howard Hughes.**

Cost: free from library
Where watched: at home

*He seems to have an inherent stiffness–which I find delightful–that seems to be directly in contrast to Harrison Ford’s laid back Han Solo. I’m very interested to see what happens with the movie.
**Probably because Mr. Ego was both directing and playing Howard Hughes.

This movie offers another great performance by Nick Robinson and a delightful supporting cast, including Alexandra Shipp as Abby and Katherine Langford as Simon’s best friend Leah.  While the movie was a tad bit slow, overall, it contained a great rollercoaster of feelings.  Even when things are good and life is easy, coming out can be hard.

Cost: $5.35 (but free due to gift cards)
Where watched: Regal City Center Stadium 12 with S. North

The rotating triangles may make this my favorite dishcloth so far.
