Jimmity Critic
Jimmity Critic, our six year-old movie critic (The Kids Corner) gave the film two thumps up. His favorite character is “Slade” (voice Will Arnett). He has a thing for the villains.
We adults enjoyed the references to the older super-heroes, which felt like a throwback to the old Warner Brothers, Looney Tunes.

We enjoyed the visuals in Blindspotting a lot. I felt like the filmmakers were saying, you have choices or you can make choices to change your circumstances—even if you feel that you have no control over it. The spoken-words scenes were intense and an interesting take on the storyline delivery. Good performances by all.
Longtime friends and collaborators, Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal co-wrote and star in this timely entertaining story about friendship and the intersection of race and class set against the backdrop of Oakland, CA.

You know, sometimes, you just got to go with the flow…and that’s Mamma Mia, Here We Go Again is that movie.
If you are a fan of ABBA’s music (I am/we are), this movie musical just seems to work. It felt like there was more music than the first Mamma Mia. But it didn’t have more, it just worked and seemed to tie up a few loose ends.
Mamma Mia, Here We Go Again is sweet and sentimental—and how can you go wrong with Cher in the mix.
Starring Lily James (Meryl Streep), Alexa Davies (Julie Walters), Jessica Keenan Wynn (Christine Baranski), Amanda Seyfried, Dominic Cooper, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgard. Plus new cast members Jeremy Irvine, Andy Garcia, Josh Dylan, Hugh Skinner, and Cher.
