Alden Ehrenreich tries to fill some very big shoes as the young Han Solo in this prequel set ten years prior to the original "Star Wars." It's basically an "origin story" showing Han as a youthful thief and wanna-be smuggler, joining up with a criminal crew for his first big score, meeting Chewbacca and Lando for the first time, and taking possession of the famed Millennium Falcon.
I thought this movie was great fun but it wasn't well received at the time. A troubled production and backlash from fan boys made it the least successful of the new "Star Wars" flicks. That's a shame because I would've liked to see more of these stand-alone tales.
I thought Solo was better than most of the new Star Wars movies.  Certainly better than Rogue One, which seemed to be the one that gets all the praise.

Winter here is better than summer.

Pretoria is built in a huge dip in the land so all the cold air rushes overhead during summer 🥵

In winter the early mornings are freezing, warm by 10 am and by 4 pm you're freezing your butt off again.

I went Autumn, Spring, Winter, Summer.
First two are bearable. winter doesn't get too cold for me, and summer is absolute Hell.

Meanwhile, Macho is taken in by a good Samaritan... After recovering, he heads to the next town, where he wins a new revolver in a game of horse shoes, gets in a bar fight, & wins the respect of Buck, who invites him to join a robbery....
The robbery is planned by Ironhead, who now in the business of sending other people out to do his dirty work, then killing them, while sending bounty hunters to find Butch & Sundance... This puts Macho closer to revenge...

Steady pacing, one riffable moment, with a disco-muzak soundtrack...

My weekend double feature:

HERETIC (2024) - This is a great suspense flick.  Two young, female Mormon missionaries are taken captive by the sinister Mr. Reed (played with villainous perfection by Hugh Grant), who proceeds to ensnare them in a deadly game of cat and mouse in order to show them the uselessness of all religion.  Will they be able to turn the tables on him?  This movie keeps you guessing till the last minute - and beyond!  4.5/5

VICIOUS (2025) Dakota Fanning stars as Polly, a troubled young woman trying to pull her life together after the loss of her Dad.   Late one night, a creepy old lady rings her doorbell, says some crazy and ominous things, and leaves her with a wooden box and an hourglass.  If Polly is to survive the night, the box must be fed with something she hates, something she needs, and something she loves. But what is real and what is imagined in the long, nightmarish ordeal that follows?  I must say I enjoyed the heck out of this one.  Great concept, great acting, and lots of twists and turns along the way.  GREAT movie!  5/5

Spring. My favorite. Especially after the snowy winter.

Summer. Longer days, beach trips, I get to make use of a walk in cooler when it's 105°.

Autumn. Love playoff baseball, and football.

Winter. No.
