Addams Family 2 (animated)

 I really, really enjoyed this movie. I love the idea of the Addams Family anyways, so this was just....yeah. This movie had me within 10 minutes with it's one-liners. By the end of the movie, my favorite character is still Lurch. The things that teenagers go through anyways is magnified in poor Wednesday Addams. So many teenagers want to leave home, question their identity and want to be first in something. I get it, I do. And when the wrong hands twist her mind, it's disastrous for all. And family is family: whether by blood or love. Lurch is not an Addams by blood, but by God will the Addams defend him and protect him! The music might seem a little odd in this film, but now I want the last song by Snoop Dog, "It Ain't Nuthin'". It's a short film, too. But this was pretty entertaining, especially for my first time back in a theater after the whole COVID thing. I'd recommend this on DVD anytime!

Black Widow

  So, the action is pretty good in this movie, the villain is just..yeah, needs to die and die soon and doesn't, and the major twist in the movie (well, two major twists, really) definitely takes the viewer by surprise - but overall, I was not impressed. In fact, I had to watch this twice because I fell asleep during the first viewing. It was boring. Too much talk in the beginning of the movie. The father is definitely the comic relief in this movie, and it's good to see this character's acting range from "Stranger Things" to this. But if this is where Natasha's background stars, continues, etc, then ok. This is what Marvel wants. But compared to the other Marvel movies, I'd skip this and watch one of the others more.
