Commentary:  Well, half the year is over and I haven’t seen that many movies.  Of course this year has been a bit different than others.  The movies I have seen haven’t been excellent, like the last couple years it seems, and the ones I listed as the best so far weren’t even entirely spectacular, but I did like them enough to include them on the list.  I only listed 5 for each given that the year is half over and 5 is half of the normal 10 for the entire year (even though my list for last year was a bit different).  I listed both sets alphabetically as I’m not entirely sure where any would stand on a best to worst ranking, although I think The Grudge remake (the second one!) would surely be the worst so far.  I listed some superlatives (as you can see) as well, because why not?  I hope the rest of the year somehow gets better with movies, but I’m not counting on it…7/1/2020
