The Garfield Movie

Rated: PG

Runtime: 1 hour 41 minutes

Release date: May 24, 2024

Director: Mark Dindal

Featuring the voices of: Chris Pratt, Samuel L. Jackson

    In this latest Family-Friendly adventure, Garfield gets separated from his father early in his life. But after an unexpected reunion, he and his canine friend Odie are forced from their perfectly pampered lives to join his father on a risky heist.

    Lately there have been a string of good movies for the whole family hitting the big screen in my opinion. I'll admit, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is probably more suited for teens, but hey! At least there are movies coming out that'll probably keep the movie theaters busy. Anyway, I think The Garfield Movie Is a good movie to take the whole family to. Although it's not great, but it's not bad either. So, if your looking for something to see in theaters, I recommend it.

     This family-friendly adventure is about a young girl who goes through a difficult time, begins to see everyone's imaginary friends who have been left behind as their real-life friends have grown up. This movie, is a good movie. I think it'll be a classic someday. Maybe not a timeless classic, but a classic. I think there is a message about the meaning of you have to believe it to see it.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes

 Rated: PG-13

Runtime: 2 hours 25 minutes

Release Date: May 10, 2024

Director: Wes Ball

Starring: Freya Allan, Kevin Durand, Dichen Lachman

     Many years after the reign of Cesar, a young ape goes on a journey that will lead him to question everything he's been taught about the past and make choices that will define the future.

    I thought this movie, was a good movie. It's got stunning visual effects, I think the performance capture was good, and it was a good time at the movies. Parents, Other than the "S" word, I found NO foul language in this film! But I think your teens might like it more than your little ones. So in my point of view, It's a good family film if all of your kids are teens.

Tarot

 Rated: PG-13

Runtime: 1 hour 32 minutes

Release Date: May 3, 2024

Directors: Spenser Cohen, Anna Halberg

Starring: Jacob Batalon, Harriet Slater

     This PG-13 horror flick is about a group of friends who unknowingly violate the sacred rule of Tarot readings, therefore unleashing an unspeakable evil trapped within the cards. As punishment, they come face to face and end up in a race against death.

    I thought that this was a generic PG-13 horror flick. It's not either a good or bad movie, just in between. Parents, this movie will more than like scare your kids so, I'd keep them away from this film. Unless they're teens, and if they like horror movies.

    When the Star of his Ex-Girlfriend's new blockbuster movie goes missing, A Stuntman must find out what happened to him, try to bring him back, and try to win back the love of his life while still doing his day job. This movie, I think is a good start to the 2024 summer movie season. It's got action (and it may be a little violent), surprises, and twists! If your into action movies, I'd say check this one out! Parents, Click here before taking the kids tot he theater, even though they'd probably won't be interested in this film.
