Saw two movies yesterday, one on Netflix, and one on Peacock, neither all that entertaining. Both were meant to be comedies, I cringed for the most part, rarely laughed.

1. The Fall Guy - the highly anticipated and poorly received action/comedy adventure starring Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling (and Rebecca from Ted Lasso with brunette hair), which was loosely adapted from the Lee Majors 1980s television series of the same name.

The best part of the movie is the end credits, and a final scene after the end credits with Lee Majors and the female lead (Heather Thomas - who has had a bit too much botox). That's kind of says everything.

2. Wicked Little Letters is a British Black Comedy starring Olivia Coleman and Jessica Buckley.

It didn't work for me at all. I spent most the film wanting to strangle people in it. I found it to be more aggravating than funny. Humor truly is in the eye of the beholder.

It's a bit too broad and over the top for my taste, and many of the characters feel like caricatures.

I know there are good movies out there - just not finding them.
