Movie 2: Secrets of Dumbledore

The full title is Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore. It’s listed as a Fantasy/Adventure that runs a hefty 2 hours 23 minutes! Dumbledore is a powerful dark wizard who controls a team of wizards and witches. We do not recommend viewing for young audiences. If you are a fan of the Harry Potter franchise, you will like this movie. We viewed it on a massive 65 foot high IMAX screen, but definitely not needed or required.

Movie 3: Everything Everywhere All at Once

Ready for an interdimensional time travel with unlikely heroes? We found this film wonderfully entertaining with very inventive special effects. Michelle Yeoh is fantastic in the leading role. Jamie Lee Curtis’s performance is worth the admission alone.

Movie 1: The Bombardment

This is a fascinating true WWII story released October 28, 2021 in Denmark. Set in WWII Copenhagen a school full of children was bombed. Given current events in Ukraine we suggest adult viewers only. This film is on Netflix with the title of The Bombardment.

Movie 2: Against the Ice

This film is also a Netflix release. Based on a true story in Greenland in a 1909 polar expedition. This is a very intriguing drama about man versus brutal nature. We do not think it appropriate for young viewers.

Rating   

Movie 3 Ambulance

This film is listed as an Action/Thriller. It’s rated R for language, intense violence, and bloody images. It is not appropriate for children. It’s a riveting film about a Los Angeles bank robbery gone very wrong. We found it implausible, but very entertaining.

Movie 1: The Batman

It’s rated PG-13 but parents should be aware, this film is listed as a drama, adventure, crime, action. It has suggestive material, drug content, strong language and violence. The overall theme is intended to bring justice and end corruption and abuse of power. It’s a very dark film and the run time is just under three hours!

Movie 2: The Automat

Here is a unique film about the era of the famed “Automat” restaurant chain in New York City and Philadelphia dating from the 1940s and 50s. Its a documentary packed with iconic history. It’s wonderful to watch. Try and seek this one out. Run time is 1 hour 19 minutes.

Movie 3: Morbius

First and foremost…this film is listed as an action fantasy. To be fair it is violent with strong language and intense images. It’s not suitable for children. Our rating includes 5 vampire bats….!

Movies 1:  The Adam Project

This time travel film spans several genres under its PG-13 rating. Action, Adventure, Comedy and Sci-Fi. Parents should be cautioned regarding language, violence, some action and suggestive references. That said it’s still a pretty good film. Ryan Reynolds is always fun. Run time is just under two hours. On Netflix and in movie theaters.

Movie 2: The Lost City

Given the real world news these days, this comedic/action film offers a bit of relief. Parents should be aware there are some bloody images/ nudity / and suggestive material. That said, it’s also often funny and entertaining.

Rating   

Movie 3: The Contractor

This film is rated R for violence and language. We do not recommend this film for children. That said, there is excellent acting and just the right balance of action, mystery and intrigue.
