Great

Thank you Disney. Although this was not The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, or Aladdin, it was so nice to see an "Old Fashined" animated feature from Disney. The Pixar stuff is great, don't get me wrong, but sometimes you need to go back to your roots. It's kind of like church (hang with me here) I love my church, it's contemporary and exciting using all kind of media, lights, sound etc. I love it. But every now and then I think about my church from childhood. I remember the Christmas eve services on a cold dark night. I remember the old hymns from an old organ. Those are sweet memories of tradition and stability. This movie was like that old church, sure it's not the latest and flashiest, but that doesn't make it innefective. It's a great movie for all the reasons any movie is a great movie. Great characters, Great Story, Great Story telling. And a five year old who passes out into a popcorn coma on the way home helps too!

Green Book

Green Book AMC High Point 8 Superior This was a great movie. It made you laugh, it made you cry. It was a really interesting look at a topic that's been looked in to many times. Even though the theme was the same, this movie felt fresh and original. I can fully support this movie for Best Picture.

Alita

Alita AMC High Point 8 Superior Aka Totally B.A. I took the kiddos to see this movie, mostly because it's a girl power movie and Charlotte loves those kinds of movies. Holy crap! This movie was awesome. The story, the acting, the special effects. James Cameron proves again that if you get a cool idea for a movie and spend a s### ton of money on it. You get an epic film! One of the few movies that I was happy at the end that there's going to  be a sequel!

Isn't It Romantic

Isn't It Romantic AMC High Point 8 Excellent This movie started very poorly. Awkward scenes and questionable camera decisions. Then it got warmed up and it ended up being a cute funny movie. It needs a lot of work to get the top rating, but by the end I enjoyed myself. The soundtrack is awesome!
