Encanto (2021)
Good Family Message
I really like how Disney is doing different types of animated films that have real culture and stories. This was very well done in Disney style. Strong family messaging and showcases different cultures - reminded me of Coco that was also very well done. Saw it in the theater and it was beautiful.
Christmas vs. The Walters (2021)
Not What I Expected
The ratings are all over the place for this film maybe its a love hate type of thing -- I actually rented this on cable with my wife thinking its was a comedy, its not a comedy but it has some funny moments but the drama side caught me for surprise. My wife loved it and that was all I could ask for. I am a big Chris Elliott Fan -- love everything he does, it was a different role for him but it worked and the family grew on me as well. It isn't the fastest moving film out there and not too much of XMAS glitz but it has a really good message if you pay attention to it. I give it a great effort for trying to be its own thing and not pump out the same man + girl falling in love type story on Lifetime. It was something I could actually watch and tell people at work what I did. Dog was cute too.
Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)
A Reboot that Grew On Me
Growing up on Ghost Buster 1 and 2, I went in with rather low expectations. The film was, in my opinion, slow to get going but the children actors were very good - carried the film and the ending was a nice touch. It's worth seeing for sure.
House of Gucci (2021)
Very Well Done Must See
Beautifully shot, acted, directed - so many twists and turns - great characters. I have always been a fan of Ridley Scott's work, this did not disapoint.
