Haven't seen "The Adam Project" yet but looking forward to it. My favorite Ryan Reynolds movie is "The Hitman's Bodyguard" which is the basically an entire movie of two of the mouthiest actors in Hollywood driving each other nuts while we laugh and watch them kill people. (Although, in my quieter movie moods, I rather like his little "School of Life" family-friendly movie where he's the cool history teacher.)
As for Tarantino, I've never been a fan, possibly because I've heard all his movies discussed to death before I actually saw any of them. Well, let me amend that. He was a guest actor on the Jennifer Garner spy series "Alias" and I kinda liked his performance in that.
Thank you for continuing to post these reviews. I enjoy them.
I appreciate you reading them, and also commenting!
I liked Hitman's Bodyguard, and the sequel. It was one of the first times I thought, "Finally! Something that takes full advantage of his personality!"
Not sure how old you were, but I was in my early 20s when "Reservoir Dogs" came out. As such, I was THE demographic QT was trying to hit: opinionated, into film noir and crime writing, doing comics and zines that spoke directly to my cadre of friends...oh shit, I'm STILL that guy!
Like Kevin Smith and Robert Rodriguez, I give those Hollywood outsiders a lot of latitude for what they did and sometimes still try to do. I felt, and still feel, like I was in on the ground floor, which is the core concept of my aging hipster center.
I'm thrilled to know it isn't just me who's had the Jake Johnson/David Krumholtz mixup!
They really ought to wear different colored shirts or something.

I have watched most of MINX’s episodes. It only gets better as it progresses. HBO Max has some real gems.
I quite agree. They are really pushing the original content in new directions.
