Ford v Ferrari

Matt Damon (Bourne), Christian Bale (Batman), and Jon Bernthal (TWD) all star in this movie based on the true story of how Ford got into the racing game. It focuses on Ken Miles mainly. It was well done - acted, directed, written, and filmed. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Charlie's Angels

Elizabeth Banks writes, acts, and directs (Pitch Perfect) this re-vamp of Charlie's Angels. It's more hip and fun. Don't take it serious though. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Float

A Pixar short about a boy who is different. It is heartbreaking. The ending is good. All in all, I say: SEE IT on Disney+

Lady and the Tramp

Justin Theroux (Charlie's Angels) and Sam Elliot (The Ranch) voice this "live action" movie version of Lady and the Tramp. It looks like real dogs, but it's not - it's CQI. It was pretty bad. All in all, I say: SKIP IT on Disney+

Dickinson

Hailee Steinfeld (Pitch Perfect 2) plays the poet in the fun, slightly modernized look at the poet's life. What many scholars have contemplated appear on the screen. How they think her relationship with her parents was like - her relationship with her siblings - her relationships period. It's all slightly exaggerated which makes it really fun. I loved this. All in all, I say: SEE IT on AppleTV

Terminator: Dark Fate

Sarah Conner (Linda Hamilton) has been hunting Terminators since Terminator 2. Something happens to John after that film. They changed things after 2, and it's because of those changes that Grace has shown up. Mackenzie Davis (Station 11) does an amazing job at the martial arts stuff. James Cameron writes the script for this and you can tell. So, ignore all the movies in-between 2 and this one - imagine they never existed and you will get the plot. All in all, I say: SEE IT

Harriet

Based on the true story of how Harriet Tubman escaped north and ended up on the Underground Railroad. It was so good and I was imagining the field trip I could to take all the kids and then it happens....the cursing!!! Normally, I wouldn't mind, but I wanted a field trip because her story is amazing. So pissed that I can't show it or take the kids now. All in all, I say: SEE IT
