Zootopia 2

Detectives Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde find themselves on the twisting trail of a mysterious reptile who turns the mammal metropolis of Zootopia upside down. Testing their growing partnership like never before, they go under cover in new parts of town to crack the case.

I went back and watched the original movie about a week before seeing this and honestly forgot how much I had enjoyed it.  This movie is very much the same.  Great banter, great jokes, great messages for kids and adults.   Classic Disney without trying to drive points home too much.   Let's do more of this please.

I would absolutely recommend people checking this out.   Its a great watch for kids and adults with tons of awesome messages.

The SpongeBob Movie: Search For Squarepants

Hoping to prove his bravery to Mr. Krabs, SpongeBob follows a mysterious, swashbuckling ghost pirate known as the Flying Dutchman on a seafaring adventure that takes him to the deepest depths of the ocean.

Another movie that was exactly what it was supposed to be.   Take a continuous string of 4 SpongeBob episodes and mush them together and you have this movie.   If you like SpongeBob then you should see it.  If you don't then why would you start now?   

I would definitely recommend this movie to families during the holiday season.  It's a fun and quick watch that the kids and parents can both enjoy.

The Running Man

In the near future, "The Running Man" is the top-rated show on television, a deadly competition where contestants must survive 30 days while being hunted by professional assassins. Desperate for money to save his sick daughter, Ben Richards is convinced by the show's ruthless producer to enter the game as a last resort. Ratings soon skyrocket as Ben's defiance, instincts and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite, as well as a threat to the entire system.

I was not sure how to feel about this movie because the original The Running Man was one of my favorite movies as a kid / teenager.  Easily top three Arnold movies for me.   However, they tweaked some things with this remake and made it connect with the world today even though it was set in a dystopian world to make the movie very enjoyable even with the differences.   I was happy I was able to watch it disconnected from that and enjoy it.  

I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out.   It was a fun ride and a great platform for Glen Powell as he continues his rise in acting.

Hamnet

William Shakespeare and his wife, Agnes, celebrate the birth of their son, Hamnet. However, when tragedy strikes and Hamnet dies at a young age, it inspires Shakespeare to write his timeless masterpiece "Hamlet."

I have never really been a Shakespeare guy.  I liked this movie and the acting/direction was definitely top notch but it just wasn't really my cup of tea.  I definitely see this being the movie this year that all the critics love and wins lots of awards that I know was really good and well done but just sort of there for me.

I would still recommend people see it because I'm sure this will be an awards darling but its tough for me to go more into detail recommendation wise since its not my type of movie

Ella McCay

At 34 years old, Ella McCay becomes the governor of the state she was born and raised in. However, navigating relationships with her husband, father and brother may just be her biggest challenge yet.

What was this?   Like what was the point?   A random movie about someone in politics with even more random narration and jumping all around the person's timeline.  This is one of those movies that I really don't understand the need for it to be made or how they were like yeah this is good, release it.

I wouldn't recommend this movie to anyone because it really was just background noise while watching and a waste of time.
