Captain America: Brave New World (2025) [+] Newly elected President Thaddeus Ross (Harrison Ford) is desperately trying to form an International treaty to exploit the adamantium on Celestial Island (formed at the end of Eternals 2021 film). But the Leader (Samuel Sterns) is doing all he can top foil Ross and ruin his legacy as revenge because Ross imprisoned and used the Leader for years. Captain America (Anthony Mackie) and the new Falcon (Danny Ramirez) are caught in the middle trying to keep a war from breaking out… Saw this in a theater with my brother. A focused film running at about 1-3/4 hours of story. Fairly good special effects. Bit of meta-plot moving as President Ross asks Captain America to reform the Avengers (and the Leader tells Captain America that some big danger is coming). A perfectly entertaining super-hero action movie.

Hearts+ (2022) [/] MobilityWare's version of the card game on Apple Arcade. I like that it quickly teaches you the basics. You can play online vs random people or you can play vs bots. Not really into card games and I'd say this is not appealing enough for me to keep around.

Spades+ (2022) [/] Another MobilityWare game on Apple Arcade and has the same UI as Hearts+. Once again nice enough implementation though not that interesting to me.

Kevin’s Natural Foods - Thai-Style Coconut Chicken [/] sous-vide cooked chicken breast with a separate Thai yellow curry sauce. Microwave the chicken for a minute then add sauce and microwave for two minutes. It’s got a mild flavor (not as in not spicy but as in less flavor than I expected). Guess I wouldn’t recommend.
