Avengers: Endgame

After the devastating events of Avengers: Infinity War, the universe is in ruins due to the efforts of the Mad Titan, Thanos. With the help of remaining allies, the Avengers must assemble once more in order to undo Thanos’ actions and restore order to the universe once and for all, no matter what consequences may be in store.

Wow!  This is one hell of a massive wrap up to the 21 movie story that built up to it.  Like this movie was just an experience.  A massive experience that is so much bigger than seeing a movie.  Especially with the writing layers on top of layers in this movie.  Don't want to spoil anything but they really respect pretty much everything that came before this movie and then move forward effecting anything that will come out in the future.  This ride has truly been amazing.

I would of course absolutely recommend people checking this movie out.  It was a truly amazing watch and you really forget that you are sitting there and taking it all in for three hours.  

Little

The Universal Pictures comedy centers on a woman who gets the chance to relive the carefree life as her younger self (Martin), when the pressures of adulthood become too much.

Wow!  This movie was beyond unfunny.  I dozed off three times during an incredibly garbage first half of the movie and then decided to pull the plug.  Even without finishing it I have no doubt how the rest of the movie played out.  That's how formula it all was.

Nobody should bother with this movie.  Ever.  It was a really lame attempt at bringing back a beaten to death movie formula from the 80s and 90s that clearly should have been left alone.

The Curse Of La Llorona

La Llorona. The Weeping Woman. A horrifying apparition, caught between Heaven and Hell, trapped in a terrible fate sealed by her own hand. The mere mention of her name has struck terror around the world for generations. In life, she drowned her children in a jealous rage, throwing herself in the churning river after them as she wept in pain. Now her tears are eternal. They are lethal, and those who hear her death call in the night are doomed. La Llorona creeps in the shadows and preys on the children, desperate to replace her own. As the centuries have passed, her desire has grown more voracious…and her methods more terrifying.  In 1970s Los Angeles, La Llorona is stalking the night—and the children.“Ignoring the eerie warning of a troubled mother suspected of child endangerment, a social worker and her own small kids are soon drawn into a frightening supernatural realm. Their only hope to survive La Llorona’s deadly wrath may be a disillusioned priest and the mysticism he practices to keep evil at bay, on the fringes where fear and faith collide. Beware of her chilling wail…she will stop at nothing to lure you into the gloom. Because there is no peace for her anguish. There is no mercy for her soul. And there is no escape from the curse of La Llorona.

This is one of those pretty watered down scary movies.  They had some good sight or moment scares but not really much past that.  The story was decent and had a pretty good build but it was just one of those watered down scary movies that could have been so much better if they really went all in for frights instead of making something for all audiences.  

I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this.  It's just background noise and not really worth anyone's time or money.

Hellboy

Hellboy is back, and he’s on fire. From the pages of Mike Mignola’s seminal work, this action packed story sees the legendary half-demon superhero (David Harbour, “Stranger Things”) called to the English countryside to battle a trio of rampaging giants. There he discovers The Blood Queen, Nimue (Milla Jovovich, Resident Evil series), a resurrected ancient sorceress thirsting to avenge a past betrayal. Suddenly caught in a clash between the supernatural and the human, Hellboy is now hell-bent on stopping Nimue without triggering the end of the world.

Wow!  This was really, really bad.  Like really bad.  Like why did they bother doing this?  I was ready to pull the plug halfway through and it really just became background noise at that point.  I was a big fan of the original one and was even okay with the sequel.  I tried not to get excited about this one but I kind of did and that might have backfired on me because I thought this was total garbage

I would not recommend anyone bothering with this movie.  It was a total waste of time.

Missing Link

The charismatic Sir Lionel Frost (voiced by Hugh Jackman) considers himself to be the world's foremost investigator of myths and monsters. The trouble is none of his small-minded high-society peers seems to recognize this. Sir Lionel's last chance for acceptance by the adventuring elite rests on traveling to America's Pacific Northwest to prove the existence of a legendary creature. A living remnant of Man's primitive ancestry. The Missing Link.

This movie was a pretty decent watch.  It wasn't must see animation for all but it was worth checking out and should have done better box office wise than it did.  There were decent laughs, the story was well paced and the animation was pretty cool.  Cant really complain about the movie but can't really praise it either.  Ultimately its just kind of there I guess.

I would casually recommend families checking this out.  It is not a must see by any means whatsoever but you could definitely do much, much worse.

Shazam

We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Strong).

This was one of those movies that is kind of hard to review.  Because superhero movies have become so much more for adults than kids you tend to watch them a certain way.  This movie went back to the roots of superhero movies and was very much for families and kids more so than adults.  It was not bad for what it was.  Honestly I can't complain about this one nearly as much as usual DC entries.  But it is nowhere near the level of most superhero movies of today.  It felt like an 80s family movie NOT your usual stuff now.

I would recommend families check this out because it is an enjoyable watch.  It's just not your usual superhero movie for those looking for something like that.

Pet Sematary

An updated version of Stephen King's "Pet Sematary." The following is how the 1983 book is described:
"The road in front of Dr. Louis Creed's rural Maine home frequently claims the lives of neighborhood pets. Louis has recently moved from Chicago to Ludlow with his wife Rachel, their children and pet cat. Near their house, local children have created a cemetery for the dogs and cats killed by the steady stream of transports on the busy highway. Deeper in the woods lies another graveyard, an ancient Indian burial ground whose sinister properties Louis discovers when the family cat is killed."

The first Pet Sematary was honestly one of the scariest movies ever when I was younger.  Like that movie royally messed me up.  I actually used to have to jump off my bed for years because of the paranoia created in my head from that movie.  So I was very torn on this one thinking that they would not be able to do it as well.  But I was wrong.  They did a great job of recreating the building tension and creepiness and the third act of the movie was edge of your seat stuff all over again.

I would absolutely recommend people checking this movie out if you like scary movies.  It is a very enjoyable watch.
