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.

The Little Mermaid (2023)

 I'm actually glad that I took time to watch this. I am a true and die hard original animated Disney fan, so the soundtrack to the original animated "The Little Mermaid" sticks with me constantly. This movie surprised me. And pretty much set in the Caribbean. That does sound fitting for magical waters. Ursula - ok! Ok Ok I can do with this Ursula! Go Melissa McCarthy! The voice, the cadence, the look, the hand movements - even the bolero! Ok! I can definitely do with this villain! But Flotsam and Jetsam don't talk? Like, at all?  And Awkwafina...she's hysterical as Scuttle. I was apprehensive at first, cause I love the voice and cadence of Buddy Hackett, but Awkwafina adds her own twist to this. And "Scuttlebutt" - that's the song alright!  The queen is lovely! Very new and different addition to this tale. I like her.  I do miss the chef and "Les Poisson" song.  I like that Prince Eric had a song. It's not the best song for him, but I d

Mamma Mia!

 I already knew a lot of the songs in this movie, but this was my first time actually seeing it. So, Meryl Streep's character, Donna, loved three men the same summer she got pregnant. So who's the father? And Sophie wants her father there. But is it Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgard or Colin Firth? All are really good actors and I had no idea Pierce could sing. This story is a whirlwind for Donna as well as Sophie, even to the point where she gets into an argument with her groom, Sky. Definitely a lot of fun with the two bridesmaids and the two friends of Donna's, who I didn't realize were Christine Baranski and Molly Weasley herself, Julie Walters! Over all this was a fun show and a lot of "whoops" to be sure!

Wonka

 yeah, I really enjoyed this! And not just because it had music! The story line was good, Wonka was not always treated well, and there were 7 villains, not just one! And they all worked together to keep Wonka down! But will Wonka be kept down? He cries a lot in the movie. And deservedly so. And he befriends Noodle, played by Calah Lane, who is doomed to be in the wash house for the rest of her days. There's a comedian down there, an accountant, a quiet girl and an engineer. Good people, just tricked by the Mrs. , played by Olivia Colman. Wonka is definitely a magician of sorts, but he has a love for chocolate. This is so interesting to see where he got his beginnings and the way he makes people feel along the way. And the Oompa Loompas....yes, they have their own island. Yes, they keep to themselves. And yes, if necessary, they are pretty sneaky. Hugh Grant did a great job as a long wolf Oompa-Loompa. Very funny indeed. This is definitely a film for any fan of the original Willy Wo
