Toy Story 5 In AMC DOLBY

The Toys are BACK!! 

This time around the Toys meet Tech. 

The Toys are older and wiser but must contend with a new gadget on the horizon the Lilypad, a brand-new Child Friendly Tablet.

Every kid on the block has a Lilypad and they spend hours on end with their faces in the Lilypad. Lilypad has her own ideas of what Playtime should look like. Lilypad’s ideas alarm the Toys.

This leaves all the other Toys out in the cold with no one to play with them. Buzz, Woody and Jesse are not about to stand by and allow all the other toys to be ignored. The story unfolds from there…

Light-hearted, Funny and Very Cute are the words for this installment. The Toy Story franchise avoids fatigue by bringing in a fresh story that can be related to in today’s world of Toys and Gadgets that are designed for Children.

Toy Story 5 is worth a look.

This is a 5 Star Movie!!

Disclosure Day in AMC Dolby

Disclosure Day in AMC Dolby

A new Steven Spielberg Production is always worth a view.

Would you actually believe that there is Alien Life living amongst you, if told? Even if you were shown, would you believe it?

Disclosure Day is about learning that there is actually Alien Life living amongst us here on earth, but there are folks out there that don’t want the information leaked or shared. Government entities would do anything and stop at nothing to keep the information secret. The story unfolds from there…

Disclosure Day is Intense, Deep, Thought Provoking and very Suspenseful. There is a good amount of action, some special effects and the cinematography is really good.

Steven Spielberg is a mastermind when it comes to these types of movies.

Disclosure Day is definitely a popcorn eating movie.

This is a 4 Star Movie!!

Mortal Kombat II

Mortal Kombat II

I was finally able to see this installment. It’s been 5 years since the previous one. I am still trying to decide if I really liked this installment or not. I spent a good bit of time watching the movie from between my fingers as the battles were so intense and at times bloody, I was sure the good guys would not win.

This installment brings Johnny Cage to the Fan Favorite Champions who are then pitted against one another in an ultimate no-holes barred gory battle to defeat the Dark Rule of Shao Kahn that threatens the very existence of the Earthrealm and its defenders. The Story unfolds from there…

Karl Urban’s portrayal of Johnny Cage made this installment interesting and provided some comic relief.

A lot of this movie is intensely violent and very bloody. There is breath-taking cinematography and some really cool special effects. The action is non-stop and the suspense is nail-biting.

They did a good job with continuity as there are 4 returning characters from the 1st installment.

If you are a martial arts fan or a fan of the video game, you will find a major portion of this movie very intriguing.

This is a 3 ½ Star Movie!!

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu in AMC Dolby

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu in AMC Dolby

A new Installment in the Star Wars Franchise!

This installment finds the Evil Empire as we knew it has fallen. The Imperial Warlords remain scattered across the galaxy.

What’s left of the New Republic works to protect everything the Rebellion fought for; they have enlisted the help of legendary Mandalorian, the bounty hunter Din Djarin and his little apprentice Grogu.

The story unfolds from there…

The action and intrigue are non-stop. The Cinematography, special effects and AMC Dolby aspects are all on point.

There are portions of the movie that are intensely violent. But remember this is a Star Wars movie, so a number of nasty battles should be expected. There is no limit to the number of horrible looking monsters.

There are several small stories ongoing which helps to keep you engaged.

It was great to see actress, Sigourney Weaver. She is such a Bad Ass!

If you are a Star Wars fan, this installment should not be missed.

This is a 3 ½ Star Movie!!

The Devil Wears Prada 2 in AMC DOLBY

The Devil Wears Prada 2 in AMC DOLBY

I was so very excited when I learned 18 months ago that another installment was coming. The first “Devil Wears Prada” was AWESOME! My Mom and I laughed until we cried.

It’s been 20 Years. Miranda, Emily, Andy and Nigel are back! No one has missed a step!

The Team returns to the fashionable streets of New York and to the sleek offices of the Fashion Magazine known as Runway.  Let’s not forget the Fashion Capitol of the World, Paris, France is also part of this saga.

Meryl Streep has not lost a step literally. The whole team was still at the top of their Fashion Game taking things all the way to Paris Fashion Week. The clothes and shoes worn and the handbags that were carried were just outstanding.

The movie contains beautiful fashions never seen before. The team of Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, Ann Hathaway and Stanley Tucci were on point, but sadly there was no plot or story to this installment. Things moved slowly at the beginning but did pick up mid-way thru the movie. There was also a cool performance by Lady Gaga. 

What was done is still worth seeing if you loved the 1st installment, you enjoy fashion and Meryl Streep.

I still enjoyed the movie although there was no plot. The Dolby aspects were on point.

I saw the movie Friday Evening May 1st. The theater was packed.

“The Devil Wears Prada 2” is worth a Look.

This is a 4 Star Movie!

Michael in AMC Dolby

Michael in AMC Dolby

Do You remember Michael Jackson, King of Pop!?

If you loved or liked Michael Jackson, you should definitely see “Michael”.

This is a short Biopic about Michael Jackson’s Journey starting in the early 1960’s thru 1988. 

The story does read and view like a “Greatest Hits” and misses some of the other important events that happen in Michael’s life during the time periods that are illustrated, but it’s still a good movie. You will see a glimpse of the Music Genius in Michael.

The Music throughout the movie is on point! The Stages, Settings, Costumes and Cinematography are all on point! The AMC Dolby aspects are AWESOME!

You will be dancing in your theater chair.

The paid critics were VERY CRITICAL of this movie, but it is really good and deserves high marks for what was executed.

This is a 4 Star Movie!

Hoppers in AMC Dolby

Hoppers in AMC Dolby

What if you could talk to animals, understand what they are saying and they could talk right back to you?

This new installment from Disney’s Pixar gives you just that.

The adventure introduces Mabel, an animal lover who seizes an opportunity to use the technology, uncovering mysteries within the animal world that are beyond anything she could have imagined. The story unfolds from there…

The story does contain some Dark Humor. On the Flip side it’s hilarious and edge of your seat Funny!! It’s absurdly cute and young and old will enjoy it.

The voice cast is outstanding. The animation is excellent.

Hoppers is worth a look!!

This is a 5 Star Movie!!

GOAT in AMC Dolby

GOAT in AMC Dolby

FINALLY I am providing my 1st movie review in 2026!!

From the Studio that gave us Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse comes a new entertaining Animated Film, Goat.

The story follows a small Goat (Will) who has big dreams about joining the Pro League. Will soon gets a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to join the pros and play “Roar Ball” a high intensity co-ed, full contact sport that is dominated by the Fastest, Fiercest animals on the planet.

Will’s team mates are not thrilled about having a small goat on the team because he is small and his skills are unproven. But of course Will is determined to prove he belongs and he wants to revolutionize the sport and prove once and for all that size does not matter and “Smalls can Ball”. The story unfolds from there…

The voice cast is outstanding. The animation is excellent and the story provides a solid message for young and old. There is enough familiar action in GOAT to show it belongs among the best animated movies.

Goat is worth a look!!

This is a 4 Star Movie!!

One Battle After Another

One Battle After Another

You know that old saying, “Better Late than Never”. It applies to this review.  I had every intention of seeing “One Battle After Another” when it opened in Theaters in late September, but I was under the weather and I did purchase the tickets twice, but had to cancel both times. So, I decided to just wait. 

Here I am on Christmas Eve and I have FINALLY seen this movie. I love Leonardo DiCaprio and usually make every effort to see his movies during their opening weekend.

Leonardo Is “Bob” a washed-up Revolutionary who lives in a state of paranoia and panic all the time. He survives off the grid with his daughter, Willa that he has been raising after her mother vanished. Soon Bob’s evil nemesis resurfaces and Willa goes missing. Bob scrambles to find her. A seeming parallel as Father and Daughter both battle for their lives. The story unfolds from there…

The movie is very good. I am so glad I finally was able to see it. The story is intriguing and there is lots of action, suspense / mystery and it’s a bit bloody at times.

For some reason there are parts of this movie that remind of the 2000 Crime/Thriller “Traffic”. If you never saw that movie, you should look it up.

“One Battle After Another” is definitely worth a look. It’s on HBO Max.

This is a 4 Star Movie!!

Zootopia 2 In IMAX

Zootopia 2 In IMAX

In this 2nd installment detectives Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde find themselves on the wild twisting trail of a mysterious reptile who arrives in Zootopia and turns the Mammal Metropolis upside down. 

In order for Judy and Nick to crack the case, they must go undercover to unexpected new parts of town, where their growing partnership is tested like never before. The story unfolds from there…

Zootopia 2 is another Crackerjack Caper that is action filled and hilarious! The cinematography, action and suspense were spot on.

What makes the Zootopia Franchise so fun and interesting is that there is a Message, a Back Story, a Plot, Bad Guys, Good Guys and Heroes.  These are elements that are often left out or not clear in regular non-animated movies.

I did not feel that the IMAX aspects were worth the ticket price, but Zootopia 2 is definitely worth a look.

If you saw the 1st installment you will definitely want to see this one because there is a nice lead-in reminder of what previously happened…

BTW… There were tons of Adults without Children in the Theater.

This is a 5 Star Movie!!
