Black Widow is a movie that was released a few years too late for sure, however the execution of what we did get was lackluster with a few plot points that didn’t make very much sense, however I did like Scarlett Johansson even if she feels like a side character at times.
Till Death is a simple but still highly entertaining little survival-thriller featuring a good performance from Megan Fox showing she has what it takes, with the right script, to be a lead.
Nashville is a lengthy but ultimately decent ensemble musical-drama-comedy from Robert Altman and features David Arkin, Barbara Baxley, Ned Beatty, Karen Black, Keith Carradine, Shelley Duvall, Jeff Goldblum amongst many, many others.

One Crazy Summer is perhaps might be underrated as it does get overshadowed by many other comedies from the 1980s, but I found myself laughing throughout mainly for the bizarre scenes alongside John Cusack’s deadpan line deliveries.
