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.

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!

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!

The Prodigy

The Prodigy AMC High Point 8 Excellent Holy crap! This was a scary movie. Makes me scared of my own children. Well written, well acted (Good job creepy kid and Orange is the New Black Girl) great ending!

Happy Death Dy 2U

Happy Death Day 2U AMC High Point 8 Good Fun for sure, funny at times. I appreciated the Back to the Future references, both literal and figurative. Just as the the adults had some unrealistic expectations about the large group of loud teenagers in the theater, if you have high expectations about the quality of this movie, please remember the movie's title is "Happy Death Day 2U." Get over yourself and enjoy the movie, and the obnoxious teenagers.

Lego Movie Part 2

Lego Movie Part 2 AMC High Point 8 Good I fell asleep at the beginning, Becky fell asleep for the first half hour, and when I woke up I was so bored I had to buy some popcorn to keep myself engaged. Then about half way through the movie, it got better. It just wasn't working at the beginning and it made you think, maybe one time was enough. Then the end comes and you feel glad you hung in there because this movie ends well. In particular the design of the credits was amazing. Please don't make a 3rd Lego Movie... You're going to make a 3rd Lego movie aren't you?

Serenity

Serenity AMC High Point 8 Excellent You have to be patient with this one. It's sort of a slow start. Also this movie wasn't what I thought it was. I was expecting a normal Murder/Thriller movie and it was way not that. I thought it was a cool idea, but ultimately didn't meet it's full potential.

The Upside

The Upside AMC High Point 8 Superior Powerful, Heartwarming and Hilarious. A brilliant movie based on an incredible true story. I give it my highest recommendations.

Glass

Glass AMC High Point 8 Excellent Honestly, I probably don't know enough about comic books to fully appreciate, or understand what was going on at times. I was a little confused, but I really enjoyed the movie, and the movie premise. It was very interesting and would recommend it. It kept me guessing until the very end about whether these people have super powers or not.

Spider-Man into the Spider-verse

Spider-man into the Spider-verse High Point AMC 8 Superior It's not that this movie was good, it was that it was outrageously and ridiculously good. Kicking myself for taking so long to see it. I'm not a big super hero fan, and an animated super hero movie didn't seem like my cup of tea. However! It was awesome. It was so smart, so clever and so funny! If I told you the plot you would think they were definitely jumping sharks, but it didn't feel that way at all. It was so well written, so well designed. The animation was out of this world good. Beautiful artistry, and the way the infused classic comic book art was perfectly executed. The acting was great and the music was incredible as well. Hurry go see this movie while it's still in the theaters!

Escape Room

Escape Room High Point AMC 8 Excellent ++++ I had so much fun watching this movie! I love it when writers use creativity to entertain instead of filming gimmicks. From beginning to end I was thoroughly engaged and entertained. So excited for the sequel!

The Mule

The Mule High Point AMC 8 Excellent Great movie, go see it. I really like Clint Eastwood, I think he always does great stuff. The story was funny, sweet, and a little sad.

Aquaman

Aquaman High Point AMC 8 Good, Close to Great, but not quite No real criticism here. It was what it was supposed to be, a comic movie. Wasn't quite as funny as it tried to be, but good action, fun times.
