Movie Review – Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw
IMDb categorizes Hobbs & Shaw as: “action, adventure”. I think they should add “comedy” to that as well.

The preview for Hobbs & Shaw looks like an exciting action comedy, but these two characters have a long backstory from the Fast and The Furious franchise.

Movie Review – Bethany Hamilton: Unstoppable
Bethany Hamilton’s Unstoppable as a documentary is hard to grade. I’m going through a ‘shark movie’ phase, and there were no toothy predators here.
