Young Washington

This was an ok historical film about George Washington fighting during the French and Indian war. I thought this would flop but actually it's done well at the box office. Maybe there is a market for historical movies after all. I think the fact that it opened around July 4th helped.

Spiderman: No way Home

I thought this was the worst Tom Holland Spiderman movie but it was still worth a watch. In the movie people find out Peter Parker;s identity as Spiderman. He gets help from Doctor Strange but the spell they make goes wrong. The best part of the movie was when the other two spidermen Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield come to help things out. The movie ends on a sad note but at the same time you know they are ready for a sequel.

Peter Ibbetson

This was included in the 1001 you must see before you die list. It was ok but it wouldn't have made my cut. It was based on George Du Maurier's novel. It's about a man who falls in love with a married woman and kills her husband. She was his childhood love. When he's in prison things take a supernatural course. Ann Harding and Gary Cooper do a good job. 3/5

Practical Magic

Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman play witches who accidentally kill Nicole's boyfriend. A policeman (Aidan Quinn) comes into town to investigate which complicates things. This wasn't that good but I'm still going to see the sequel. Dianne Weist and Stockard Channing do a good job playing their aunts who help sort out the mess.

Spiderman: Far from Home

In this Peter Parker goes on a trip to Europe with his classmates and some attacks are made from creatures known as the Elementals. Peter has a crush on Zendaya. It's interesting how she is made out to be plain here when she is really a gorgeous actress.Jake Gyllenhaal plays one good villain here. He used to be an employee for Tony Stark so he's kind of disgruntled. I love how the italian diva Mina is featured on a track here.

Spiderman: Homecoming

I'm watching all of the Tom Holland Spiderman movies so I can watch the new one in the theatres. In this one Peter Parker is under the guidance of Tony Stark (Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr.) He's immature though and new to the game. Michael Keaton plays the bad guy and he does the job well. He sells dangerous weapons and there comes a conflict when Peter realizes he is related to the girl he currently has a crush on. I think Michael Keaton's character is more complex than the usual villain. This was a good beginning to the trilogy.

Project Hail Mary

This was the best movie I saw in the theatres this year. Ryan Gosling is one of the most handsome talented male actors in the industry today. This is about a junior high teacher who is trapped alone on a space mission. He meets an alien he calls Rocky who is facing his own problems. The two become pals. Their friendship is cute and so is in the ending. This should get a lot of Academy award nominations and I hope it's not forgotten just because it was early in the year.
