Toy Story 5

I thought Toy Story 4 was mediocre but Hollywood has redeemed itself. This is cute. It's about a new tablet called Lilypad that comes into Bonnie's life. Soon she and the other kids in the neighborhood aren't playing with their toys anymore. In the end the toys are remembered again and Bonnie has made a new friend even though there were bumps on the way. This movie was funny and sweet. I welcome Toy Story 6 if it is made.

Disclosure Day

This was one of Steven Spielberg's worst. It was good to watch with popcorn though. Most of it is a chase movie. A meterologist and a hacker are on the run because they have information that proves aliens are for real. Colin Firth plays a bad guy well but this is really Emily Blunt's movie. She does a fantastic job. The ending was unintentionally funny as it got over the top. My sister and I laughed in the theatres.

Minions and Monsters

This was ok. I think I watched one movie in the franchise but I was able to catch up ok. The first half of the movie deals with the minions trying to find an evil leader to be followers to. Then the minions make it in the silents but then sound comes and they decide to do a monster movie. I liked the homage to silent movies. The characters are one dimensional though so there was only so much that I could invest emotionally in them. This is more for the kids than the adults. One parent said online that it was worst than Scary Movie. It wasn't that bad. It fits the PG rating.

Toy Story 4

This was passable but but I felt like it was unnecessary since Toy Story 3 had the perfect conclusion. There is barely a plot here. The toys new owner Bonnie makes a new toy Forky in school. He's pretty cute. Eventually they end up in an antique store with some scary toys. Bo Peep is back. She wasn't in the third one and it's nice to see her return. It's worth a watch just so you get caught up and can watch Toy Story 5 which was much better.

Toy Story 3

This would have been the perfect ending to the Toy Story movies but Hollywood felt it should go on. Andy is moving on to college. He tells his mother to put the toys in the attic but she gives them to a daycare instead. The daycare turns out to be horrific and has one awesome scary villain. The ending was very touching as Andy has moved on but the toys know that they had a place in his heart.

The Stranger In Between (The Hunted)1952

This is a pretty good British noir. It's about a kid in an an abusive household who has just set the curtains on fire. He's on the run and so is a murderer (Dick Bogarde). The two become friends. Dick can't leave the boy even when the hunt for him gets more complicated. He would be better solo but a bond has grown between them two. It had a good ending. I've been watching Dick Bogarde movies lately and I've always been impressed by him. He was a great actor who picked interesting roles.

Las Furias (The Furies)

This was an Argentine film from 1960. It is about a household of women. Their lives revolve around the man of the household who never shows up in the movie. There's a pretty girl who always get the dates. The best scene was when the repressed spinister stole the pretty girl's dress. She steals something else from the girl. I didn't it coming. This was from a female director. I wonder why cinema from Argentina isn't better known.
