Guardians of the Green Screen: Vol 2
Starts off messy but eventually gets its shit together. Loved Kurt Russell as Ego. A lot of the humor falls flat and the classic hits weren't as good as they were in the previous movie, but it was still a lot of fun.

Prometheus 2...er, Alien: Covenant
Very predictable and succumbs to the formulaic tropes of the horror genre a few too many times, but fuck it, I liked it more than I should have. It's clear that Ridley Scott wanted to give audiences the best of both worlds; i.e.: wanted to scare people silly like he did with Alien but still get out of the corner that that idiot Damon Lindelof wrote him into with Prometheus. Michael Fassbender makes this movie about ten times better that it had any right being. Better than Prometheus and the best Alien movie since Aliens, but the series still hasn't returned to its former glory. At least it's doing a better job that the Terminator franchise has.
