Coyote vs Acme

 Holy cow - this was good! I didn't think this movie would be this good because I wasn't really versed with the human actor, Will Forte, or any of his work. But yeah - Wile E. Coyote and his facial expressions are the best! For years Wile E. has been chasing the Roadrunner. Years. And one day, he sees a commercial by the attorney Kevin Avery. Kevin isn't a really successful attorney and his collegue, Buddy Crane, played by John Cena, really IS a successful attorney. These two butt heads all the time and it leaves Kevin as a big joke. But Wile E. comes into Kevin's office and doesn't leave until Kevin agrees to represent him in a suit against Acme. Now me? I figured Wile E. had enough funds or revolving credit or something with Acme anyways. My husband and I agreed that, by now, he could have ordered himself some food and forgot about the Roadrunner. But nope - here we are. In court. Fighting Acme. And not only does Kevin and his team, which includes his extremely smart niece, Paige Avery, played by Lana Condor, they also come face to face with Foghorn Leghorn, voiced by Eric Bauza, CEO of Acme. This is scary - how in the world can they prove that Acme products are at fault? How does it not fall back on Wile E. being incompetent? Is there anyone out there who can help him? There is a whirlwind of animated characters that show up in this movie, even working in Kevin's office, that took me back to my childhood. I could picture so many episodes with each character I saw - small characters, large characters, and even Gossamer! I will be watching this movie again. It was such a delight to revisit these characters and feel the anticipation of the court case!

Michael (2026)

 I guess I was expecting more. I was expecting the abuse. I was expecting the violence. I was expecting the controversy. And I didn't get that. I got music. And yeah, I'm gonna admit that I sang through the movie, yes I did, because I still own "Thriller" on vinyl and I remember listening to it over and over again in my brother's room when he wasn't home. But this movie...I wanted more. I think  Jaafar Jackson did a great job as Michael and his emotion came through very well, but I wanted more from my idol. I was very pleased to see Nia Long as Katherine Jackson. She brought out the tender in that woman completely - a mother who will do whatever is necessary for her family. Good to see Jessica Sula as La Toya Jackson, but I didn't see or hear about Janet at all. Colman Domingo did a good job as Joe Jackson with his facial expressions and domineering Prescence especially with the record executives. But my favorite character in the entire movie was Bill Bray...

Wake Up, Dead Man, A Knives Out Mystery

 Wow! Wow and wow! This was my 2nd favorite next to the original "Knives Out". A priest is re-assigned to a place he never could have been prepared for: the devil is alive and well in the church, on the grounds, in the people and in the plans. Josh Brolin plays Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, the local head priest and "God" to most folks. They don't jump unless he says "how high." There are only a select number of parishioners that stick with his word, as the rest of the congregation is slowly run out by his sermons. But there's a deeper mystery here and Josh O'Connor, who plays Jud Duplenticy, wasn't supposed to be there. A sermon happens, the Monsignor falls, and there is a murder in the church in front of witnesses. So who did it? Or was it more than one person? Or did one person make it look like it was more than one person? So much is going on in this story and then...cops show up. Geraldine Scott, played by Mila Kunis, calls up a professio...

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F

 Just on a whim, I decided to put this movie on as we ate dinner. Within 10 minutes my husband and I were laughing. The music was good, reminiscent of the 80s "Beverly Hills Cop" soundtrack, the cameos were fantastic, everyone a little older now, and there was a lot of excitement and adventure. The beginning of the movie shows Axel in Chicago, being himself and getting into trouble. But he always comes through for the boys in blue. But over in California, someone gets into trouble, someone is threatened, and his friend, Billy, calls Axel to let him know. Usually, Axel will just give advice or listen or both, but when it's his daughter, Axel heads out west again. But who is threatening his daughter? And why? And will the trio get back together again to solve a new mystery? And can they all stay alive? It was a great trip down memory lane and a wonderful introduction to new characters as well. Those who enjoyed the first movies will love seeing Eddie Murphy, John Ashton, Ju...
