The Batman

 Not a bad movie at all. And I'm very much a Batman fan. I love his mystique. I love his look. I love the way he battles with his body and his mind. And the brooding. Always with the brooding. Robert Pattinson did a good job. He's not what anyone would expect to be cast as the "dark knight", but he did a fantastic job. I wanted more Alfred, though. I wanted more of the father-like qualities to come out and be seen. Alfred was there for Bruce throughout his life and their back and forth shows it in other movies and tv shows. Not sure if Selina was in love with her roommate, or if that was just a "roommate". I wanted that relationship clearer. Cause, you know, best friends will kill for each other, too. I really, REALLY loved the fighting: Bruce is definitely trained and Selina shows she's taken some classes herself! And they fight very well together! And the cats. I love the cats. The story itself is well-done. I had no idea who the killer was! The steps and the murders were just too well plotted that I just couldn't figure it out! And Bruce has a mind to be a detective, and Alfred is a big help for him. I enjoyed this movie. And Colin freaking Farrell!!! I had no idea! And I did enjoy Gordon as well. There is a trust and a partnership there. I'm guessing the two years prior that Bruce was talking about in the beginning of the movie sealed their friendship. Just, very well done!

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
