What I Watched -- Captain Marvel

During the same trip to the library that we found Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, we found Captain Marvel, which is about as far from the former as one can get and still be in the movie universe.

And on the subject of universes, this is -- perhaps not surprisingly, given the title -- one of the many aimed-at-adults remakes of an old superhero comic within the realm of the Marvel Comics universe.

The plot doesn't matter much.  Good guy (or gal, in this case) trying to save the world from a bad guy; the usual stuff.  But it was funny in the way that all these movies are funny, and I very much enjoyed Brie Larson's turn as the title character.  She was fun and spunky but not in an annoying way.

Bottom line: exactly what you're expecting.  Not terribly memorable, but neither is it disappointing.
