Tom And Jerry

A legendary rivalry reemerges when Jerry moves into New York City's finest hotel on the eve of the wedding of the century, forcing the desperate event planner to hire Tom to get rid of him. As mayhem ensues, the escalating cat-and-mouse battle soon threatens to destroy her career, the wedding, and possibly the hotel itself.

This movie was very annoying at first because the animation and the live action was not working for me at all.  Happily - that got better as the movie went on and combining that with the good music worked in throughout this turned out to be a cute enough family movie to warrant watching.   Not a must see by any means but a decent enough watch for what it was.

I would recommend families checking this out simply due to the massive lack of options.   But like I said it's not a horribly painful watch for the parents that would be watching with the kids.

The Mauritanian

Mohamedou Ould Salahi fights for freedom after being detained and imprisoned without charge by the U.S. Government for years.

This was a pretty decent watch.  The cast was great and all nailed their roles.  The depictions of the torture interrogations were beyond disturbing.  It was very eye opening to how things are when the curtain is pulled back.  Not that I remotely felt bad for this guy with all he was involved in but it was a decent watch regardless.

I would somewhat recommend people checking this out.  It was a pretty decent watch with not much out there anyway.

The World To Come

Somewhere along the mid-19th century American East Coast frontier, two neighboring couples battle hardship and isolation, witnessed by a splendid yet testing landscape, challenging them both physically and psychologically.

I couldn't even make it through the whole movie.   lt was essentially taking the forbidden lesbian love story and staging it way back in the day.  Completely formula in every way and honestly very much overacted and too dramatic for me.

I wouldn't recommend anyone bothering with this movie.   This never would have made it to theaters without the coronavirus delaying everything.  

Land

A local hunter brings a grieving lawyer back from the brink of death after she retreats to the harsh wilderness of the Rockies.

Every year it seems there is always at least one movie that comes out that you know is a very well done and acted movie but it is ultimately a massive snooze fest even though you know that.  This would be that movie.  Its not that the movie was bad.  Like I said - I know that this was a well done movie but I just found myself not hooked by it in any way and was therefore completely bored.

I would only recommend this movie to fans of beautiful nature and living off the land.  Outside of those two things there really isn't much intriguing substance here.

Judas And The Black Messiah

Offered a plea deal by the FBI, William O'Neal infiltrates the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party to gather intelligence on Chairman Fred Hampton.

Wow!   That movie was some powerful shit.  Daniel Kaluuya and Lakeith Stanfield continued their string of acting excellence in this.  And the pacing and laying out of this story was so well done.  You fully get hooked watching these people develop and go through their voyages.  

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.   It was a very well done movie on all fronts from beginning to end.

Barb And Star Go To Vista Del Mar

Lifelong friends Barb and Star embark on the adventure of a lifetime when they decide to leave their small Midwestern town for the first time ever.

This movie had ZERO business being as funny as it ended up being.   The random opening scene had me belly laughing at the randomness of it but then it fell flat for about 30 minutes.  I was about to fully stop paying attention when all of a sudden the jokes started landing and some of the most random lines had me completely beside myself.  It turned into like a female Austin Powers almost with innuendo jokes and silliness.  

I would actually recommend people checking this movie out.   Didn't remotely think I would be saying that at the start but I found myself laughing a lot more as the movie went on.

Supernova

A gay couple -- one a musician, the other a novelist -- embark on a road trip as dementia starts to take hold of one of them.

Wow!  This movie is beyond the realm of emotional watching this couple struggle through what they are dealing with and it features two of the best and most genuine performances I may have ever seen.   You felt like you were there with them as part of the relationship and completely forgot that these were people acting out the parts.   This movie should be shown for years in acting classes.

I completely recommend people checking this movie out.  Don't get me wrong - it is a very sad and tearjerking movie and for very good reason but acting like this should not be passed on.
