The Strangers: Prey at Night (2018)
Better than the reviews made it out to be, and better than the first
Seeing a lot of 1 and 2-star reviews on here, maybe from people who turned it off halfway through. To be fair the first half is a chore to get through - the families in these types of movies are all the same basically, so all the scenes setting them up are a bore. And when the killers begin their usual schtick (knocking on doors, etc.) it's been there done that for anyone who saw the first one. But things pick up roughly halfway through, and this movie really takes off during the last 20 minutes or so, with a couple of great sequences. While the first one was creepier, this one was more entertaining (and had a much bigger payoff)
Californication: ...And Justice for All (2011)
Should have been the series finale
Season 4 was a step down after 1-3 set the bar so high. Still, it serves its purpose by wrapping up the Mia storyline once and for all, and the season finale in particular manages to put a nice bow on everything, while avoiding any forced happy endings (looking at you season 1). It's how the series should have gone out.
