Movies: Bombshell, Cats, Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker

Movies 1: Bombshell

With three Academy Award winners and two Academy Award nominees, this film targets the Fox News Leader Roger Ailes’ perverted approach to female News Anchors and other women journalists.

It’s painful to watch.  It’s impossible to justify.  It is not surprising given the current political landscape and the minefield that is today’s reality.

Movie 2: Cats

This movie rendition of Andrew Lloyd Weber’s classic London and Broadway productions will not win over most movie goers.  It’s a shame because there is a lot of innovation and inventive film making on the screen.  That said…I defy you to view the finale by Jennifer Hudson without tears.

Movie 3:  Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker

It just opened last Thursday evening!  It’s the third movie in the third trilogy of the Star Wars Series.  It’s directed by J.J. Abrams.  So why the confusing title change?!  And why are the critics reviews wobbling between 56% and 53% favorability?  

 

Maybe it’s because the story runs all over the screen with familiar images but without any connection to this newest chapter.  That said, we found it to be a satisfying ending to the  saga.
