I sometimes like to journal capsule movie reviews (and occasionally long-form reviews). Whilst I have been to several in recent weeks, the opportunity hasn't really provided itself to mention these in-line with other posts. The following includes movies watched on flights travelling to and through China ("A Million Miles Away", "Peter Rabbit 2", "Ravi and the Last Dragon", "Barbie", and "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish"), a visit to iMax with Ruby ("Gravity 3D"), and two visits to the Astor Theatre with Erica ("The Third Man") and Erica and Julie ("Megalopolis"). I must, as always, mention the deco glory that is the slightly dilapidated and Heritage-listed Astor Theatre, Melbourne's iconic 1936 single-screen cinema with dress circle and stalls.
