Cats

Rated: PG
Runtime: 1 hour, 50 minutes
Release Date: December 20, 2019
Director: Tom Hooper
Starring: Ian McKellen, Judi Dench, Taylor Swift, Francesca Hayward

     In this big-screen adaptation of the hit Broadway show Cats, a tribe of cats called the Jellicles, make a yearly decision on which one will come back to a new Jellicle life. This movie, is a lot better than what the internet has been saying. There are plenty of cases out of "You can't judge a book by it's cover," and seeing good movies that are being absolutely trashed by the internet is one of them! How many good movies that are being trashed do I have to see? Seriously people please, open your movie-going eyes! Yes, I did notice some flaws but still! Parents, I think this movie okay for kids. If they, or anyone else in your family doesn't want to see Star Wars, take them to this one. I think it'll be a good time at the movies.


Final Grade:
B+



                                              Straight out of theater reaction video:

Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker

Rated: PG-13
Runtime: 2 hours 21 minutes
Release Date: December 20, 2019
Director: J.J. Abrams
Starring: John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Oscar Isaac, Adam Driver, Ian McDiarmid, Billy Dee Williams



        This is the big one folks! The epic conclusion to the Star Wars Skywalker saga! In this one, Rey (Ridley), Poe (Isaac), and Finn (Boyega) along with what remains of the resistance, battle the First Order one last time. I can't believe that I just saw a good Star Wars movie that's being trashed by the internet! Seriously, I thought it was better than anticipated! I liked the way it ended, I thought that the ending was very satisfying and Parents, I don't know if you should take your kids to this one. Unless, they're huge Star Wars fans, and WARNING: If they're prone to things like epilepsy, you probably should NOT take them to this film. Because, there are scenes that maybe too sensitive to them.

Final Grade:

B

      In this follow-up to Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, the gang is back and this time, the game has changed. One of the players has vanished, so his friends have go on a daring mission to rescue him. This is a hilarious film, it has quite a bit of humor, and a lot of action! Parents, I'd click here before taking your kids. It may not be appropriate for little ones, but it may be okay for teens.
