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.

If I should die before I wake

This is a 1950s noir from Argentina about a child murderer. The female friend of a boy goes missing. She was seeing a strange man and she had made the boy promise to keep it a secret. I like how the movie goes into how vital childhood promises are. To an adult it would be very obvious that you need to speak up. But when another female friend goes missing the boy can't be quiet anymore. But it's useless as no one will listen to him. His father is part of the police. It's up to him to leave clues for his father and to track the killer down himself. This was based on a Cornell Woolrich short story who was an amazing noir writer. This was a good short noir.

The Sheep Detectives

This was a cute original quirky movie starring Hugh Jackman as a shepherd who reads mysteries to his sheeps every day. When he dies, the sheep take it upon themselves to find out the murderer was. Along the way you meet the eccentrics of the town. I didn't guess who the murderer was. However, that's also probably because I don't read mysteries. Bryan Cranston and Patrick Stewart do voice work.

Omkara

This is an Indian version of Othello. I like the actors Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan. I can't recommend the movie despite the acclaim it received. I read Shakespeare's play and liked it but I found this long and dull.
