it was! The rest of the cast was great
as well.</span></b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">WHAT IS WRONG: When Hollywood does a bio they sometimes

of them on horse with bow and arrows killing the hero. Not this film. They are shown as intelligent, wealthy people
who want the same thing any other people want equality and acceptance. The cast!
Leonardo Di Caprio is fantastic as Ernest Burkhart who was lead astray
by his uncle William “King” Hale played by the great actor Robert DeNiro. He should have been nominated. Molly Burkhart
played by Lily Gladstone is just amazing as Ernest’s wife. She is not melodramatic as a woman trying to
find out who is killing her people, her husband is trying to poison her and the
death of her child. She has a silent
strength you can see all the pain in her eyes.</span></b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">WHAT IS WRONG: It is too long! Martin Scorsese makes great epic stories but
it is too long!</span></b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">SHOULD YOU WATCH:
YES! If you like great story

Very funny but mostly bizarre at times.
Emma Stone is fine from child-like to grown woman. Mark Ruffalo as Duncan Wedderham a lustful
cad who has sex with her a lot on a cruise.</span></b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">WHAT IS BAD: It is not for kids! Lots of nudity and sex! Bella is a

Meg in 2018. Five years later they discover something in
the water that has Megs and large octopus.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS GOOD: The Megs! The sharks are the stars and they do deliver! Jason Statham as Jonas Taylor is still a hero
like in the last movie. There is a lot
of humor and horror.</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">PLOT: The Teenaged turtles must stop a malformed
house fly from destroying all humans.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS GOOD: Every few years
Hollywood always makes a Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtle movie. This time it is creepy animated but it is
very good. The turtles are voiced by
young people! The best is Jackie Chan as
Splinter, the father of the turtles who constantly tells them humans will never
accept them. Ice Cube as Superfly, a
huge mutant housefly who hates humans and wants to kill all humans and make
more grotesque insects and animals. He
is evil and very funny. Maya Rudolph is
funny to as Cynthia Utrom, who works at TCRS-Techno Cosmic Research
Institute to use their blood to make

not getting along and his wife died. Both are trying to repress tragic memories. Supposedly the final chapter of the popular
franchise.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS RIGHT: Patrick Wilson is
star and director. He does a good
job. Good jump scare moments. Simpkins as Dalton does a good job of a
trouble with college and other problems in his life. Sinclair Daniel as Chris his female roommate
is great comic relief.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS WRONG: Slow and not many

the man who created the atomic bomb directed by Christopher Nolan.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS GOOD: The performances
of Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy Batman, 28 Days) Robert Downey Jr. ( Iron Man
franchise)as Lewis Strauss, his rival. Emily Bunt as Kitty, Oppenheimer’s wife
and the rest of the cast. Oscar
nominations are in their future.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS BAD: Oppenheimer was

tale of creating something that could destroy the world and the same people who

It is raunchy, outrageous and very funny! It is sad near the end.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS WRONG: It is a formula

You seen it before just not with Asian woman.
They put down whites a lot.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">SHOULD YOU WATCH: YES. It is a

Ryan Gosling is very funny as Ken. Kat McKenna is great as Weird Barbie.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS WRONG: You don’t want to

(Captain America First Avenger) as Grace, a professional thief who gets way
over her head. She is a great actress in

Ballard, a government agent who stops sex trafficking of children.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS GOOD: Jim Caviezel as
Tim Ballard. He has a big family of his
own and he goes way out of his way to capture pedophiles. Caviezel is known for doing The Passion of
the Christ directed by Mel Gibson. Caviezel takes risk in his acting career and
it does pay off! The rest of the cast is great as well.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS WRONG: It is slow but
not enough to lose interest. Many scenes
are sickening in what is implied.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">THE CONTROVERSY: The movie is 5
years old and finally gave distribution,
release the movie. It could be because
they use God’s name too much. The quote
“God’s children are not for sale.” That
is not a left issue or right issue but a crime!
At the end of the movie it reads that the most country that buys
children is the United States.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">SHOULD YOU WATCH: It is NOT a
popcorn movie but it is a good

amazing as she supports her child Sammy who wants to make films after seeing
The Greatest Show on Earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is

to raise a family.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In was the 50s.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She is fun but also erratic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Burt Fableman played by Paul Dano (The Batman

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">PLOT: Agojie, an all female
all black warriors who protected the kingdom of Dahomey in 1823.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS GOOD: Viola Davis who
is the leader of the Dahomey. She has to
be strong but she has demons she has to deal with. Director Gina Prince Bythewood who made it
epic and emotional as well.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS BAD: When Hollywood
does an historical drama not all is accurate.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">SHOULD YOU WATCH: YES!!! Two
good reasons for the fantastic Viola Davis and the subject matter.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">PLOT: A biracial beauty finds out about her
vampire past.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS GOOD: The attractive
cast and Nathalie Emmanuel as Evi who is in wonder of her surroundings then
scared then goes Van Hesling on her ancestors.
It is romance-gothic romance but it is interesting and it was written
and directed by women. Evi’s friend Grace Courtney Taylor is great as her funny
friend. Stephanie Corneliussen who plays
Viktoria, a vampire is quite striking.
The story should have been about her.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">WHAT IS BAD: It is predictable.<o:p></o:p></p>

retrieve a silver case on a train but of course a few assassins want the case
too. It is like Smoking Aces on a train.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">WHAT IS
RIGHT: Brad Pitt, the supporting cast
and special guests. He is a former hit
man who takes no-violent tasks but this is not one of them. The kills are crazy and there is a lot of
humor.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">WHAT IS
WRONG: The film is long even though
there is much mayhem going on.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">SHOULD YOU
WATCH: If you like action, Brad Pitt and
elaborate deaths-then YES.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></p>

<p align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">THRILLER </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">PLOT: Nate Samuels (Idris
Elba) is a doctor. His wife died and
decide to bond with his two daughters and go on a trip to visit his friend
Martin Battles (Sharito Copley) in South Africa but they are trapped as a lion
is trying to kill them.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS RIGHT: Its Jaws on four
legs! They are using every method to
survive a furious lion! Elba goes from
mild manner doctor to using his wits and weapons to make it out alive. It also has Elba regretting he wasn’t there
for his family while being a doctor.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS WRONG: The lion is CGI
but it is not the best and it does have many clichés you see before in these
kinds of movies.</p>
<p><span style="text-align: justify;">SHOULD YOU GO: If you like Idris
Elba and the lion-YES!</span></p><p><br /></p><p align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><b>NOPE<o:p></o:p></b></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">PLOT: Brother and sister own a ranch and there are UFO on their land
and want to take a picture as proof. Why
did he call it the title of the movie?
It stands for NOT OUR PLANET EARTH.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS RIGHT: The music, the
humor, cinematography and the acting of Daniel Kaluuya as Otis Haywood Jr. or
OJ for short and Keke Palmer as Emerald Haywood.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS WRONG: It is a slow burn
which means it takes a long time to get
going! Special effect of the alien ship not impressive.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">SHOULD YOU WATCH: Nope-unless
you like Jordon Peele way of directing a story.
This is his third movie as director.
The other two were the successful Get Out and US. Hope the fourth movie is better than this
one.</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">WHAT IS
RIGHT: The cast featuring Dwayne Johnson

always wanted to be a villain and gets his wish along with his yellow pals.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS GOOD: The 70 music, the
evil group the Vicious Six and the wacky, wonder minions. It is a joy to watch the crazy antics of
them.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS WRONG: The ending is way
out but what do you expect from villains who want to take over the world.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">SHOULD YOU WATCH: Most
definitely! It is very funny and entertaining. Great for the young and the young at heart.<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>

and kidnapper of teen boys but his latest victim gets help from his previous
victims on the black phone in the basement.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS GOOD: The two young
stars Mason Thomas as Finney who gets bullied a lot but is very resilient when
a serial child killer has him. Madeline
McGraw as Gwen Finney’s funny, feisty and psychic sister. The backstory tells why they are like
that. Ethan Hawke is creepy as “The
Grabber.” </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS WRONG: The film is a
slow burn! It takes a long while to get
going. It is NOT a slasher where teens
get killed every ten minutes. No jump
scares either.</p>

legendary singer by the point of view his manger Colonel Tom Parker.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS GOOD: Tom Hanks is
unrecognizable as Colonel Tom Parker aka Andreas Corenlis (Dries) Van Kuijk who
was Dutch. He was con man who knew two things-talent and how to exploit it for
his own good. Hanks does not play a nice
guy in this one. Elvis (Austin Bulter)
is good as Elvis.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS BAD: In all film
biographies leave or emphasis certain
times of the performer’s life. If you
are interested read books about them.
The movie is long but it may not cover everything.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">SHOULD YOU WATCH: If you like

yet you seen it all before-mangers pleasing the star, betraying and doing

and the current of the Jurassic franchise come together to stop an evil company
Biosyn from controlling the food supply.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS GOOD: The dinosaurs of
course! The film added a few more
besides the T-Rex. The people from classic Jurassic Park such as Jeff Goldblum
as Ian Malcolm, Sam Neil as Dr. Alan Grant and Laura Dern as Dr. Ellie
Stattler. The updated movie includes
Chris Pratt as Owen and Bryce Dallas Howard as Claire.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS BAD: They say this is
the final Jurassic movie. I don’t

film it is action-packed! Also many good
supporting characters especially Sox, a computerized cat to be Buzz’s pet and

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS BAD: For those who know
Tim Allen did the voice of Buzz for all the Toy Story franchise and now it is
Chris Evans, Captain America himself.

Cumberbatch is great as Dr. Strange.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Elizabeth Olsen who plays Scarlet Witch is fantastic determined and
obsessed to see her children again no matter what the cost.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The cameos of superheroes in their different

done 1984 with Drew Barrymore, a miniseries in 2002 and now the latest film.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hollywood should stop making this movie and

sees his father killed by his uncle and vows for revenge.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS RIGHT: Alexander
Skarsgard as the grown man, Amleth. He
was Tarzan in 2016 and he didn’t lose his ripped body for this. Nicole Kidman as his mother Queen
Gundruin who is not as loyal as she
seems and Anya Taylor Joy as Olga his
love interest. She has a unique look
perfect for this film. It is VERY
violent. </p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS WRONG: In between the
brutal attacks they are telling a story plus folklore and action hounds may find
it slow but you understand his motives.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">SHOULD YOU WATCH: If you like

actor Nicholas Cage uses his acting skills to save a young woman in danger.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS RIGHT: Nicholas Cage
spoofing himself. Many vain celebrities
can’t pull a feat like this off but Cage can.
Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian, Wonder Woman 1984) as Javi, a super fan
who brings him to his island but he has secrets. The chemistry of Cage and
Pascal are great. The action sequences
are great.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS WRONG: The movie is not
for everyone. It is quirky and weird. It is like the IFC movies of old.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="tab-stops: 175.5pt; text-align: justify;">WHAT IS RIGHT: Jared Leto is a
gifted actor who played the Joker in Suicide Squad. He is a decent human being but when he turns
into a primal night creature not so much.
He feels guilty after but not during.
The special effects are good too.
Matt Smith (the 11<sup>th</sup> Doctor Who and Terminator: Genisys) is
great as his nemesis.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS WRONG:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is not epic or
as delightfully crazy as Venom.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">SHOULD YOU WATCH: If you like
the latest antihero yes. They changed
some details as usual. It is B-movie
good.</p>

new villain from his past.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS RIGHT: Sonic is so
funny. He is a kid but he looks like a
Hedgehog who wants to be a hero but also a child. Jim Carrey is just fantastic as Dr. Ivo
Robotnik, a goofy genius bad guy who wants to get rid of Sonic and rule the
world. He is so funny is this film as in
the first one. Miles “Tails” Prower, a
yellow fox with 2 tails which is very smart and make good gadgets. Knuckles, is a powerful echidna who wants
revenge on Sonic. The rest of the cast
is delightful too.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS WRONG: It is very over
the top ending.</p>

next? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe because of the first

</span>Sidney (Neve Campell) not in much until the end along with Gale<o:p></o:p></p>

is a crime fighter and a crime solver.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Riddler leaves clues in cards and he has to figure out The Riddler’s
horrible plan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Robert Pattinson is great
as the brooding, sober cape crusader.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Gone are the days of Twilight franchise.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Paul Dano as the Riddler is just AMAZING. There is a reason for his
madness but it is still madness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Colin
Farrell is unrecognizable as The Penguin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>He is not in the movie much but when he is you know it. Zoe Kravitz is
good as Selina Kyle/Catwoman.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS WRONG:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is VERY grim
and gritty.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is NOT a popcorn
movie!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is a slow burn.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is not a lot of action until the end.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">SHOULD YOU WATCH:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>YES!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is the Dark Knight and he is a detective

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS RIGHT:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ralph Fiennes as
Orland Oxford, the founder of the agency.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>An excellent actor and why he created the secret organization is based a
lot on tragedy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rhys Ifans as
Rasputin.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wow!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What a performance he gave!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Over the top but very effective. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ifans was in The Amazing Spiderman. The action

VERY misleading.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The movie is sober for

Brian Harper and Halle Berry as Jocinda Fowler who are astronauts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>John Bradley as an annoying but brilliant

Everyone knows about Venus and Serena Williams but he had three other

Spengler’s daughter) is a single mom who has to leave the big city to a small
town which carries an evil secret.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS RIGHT: They pay homage
to the original Ghostbusters and it is nothing short of delightful. The cast is great too; Carrie Coon as Callie
is funny and her kids McKenna Grace as
Phoebe, a nerdy but very smart girl and Finn Wolfhard as Trevor who is young,
funny and likes a pretty female in the
town. Logan Kim as Podcast and his name
fits him for he has a mike and camera always ready. The cameos are fantastic too. Near the end is fantastic! Stay for the
mid-credits.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">WHAT IS WRONG: It is a slow burn
but it is telling you the plot and how it all comes together.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">SHOULD YOU WATCH: If you are a
fan of Ghostbusters or the 80s-OH YES!
This is the Ghostbusters#3!</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></p><p align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><b>CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG<o:p></o:p></b></p><p align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">COMEDY/ADVENTURE/FANTASY </p><p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">PLOT: The movie version of the
