Movie 1: Top Gun: Maverick

This film has enjoyed over 20 years of audiences with action adventures. The most current release is as good if not better than its predecessor. It should be no surprise to learn Top Gun has earned over $1 billion world wide. This movie has great action scenes, good dialogue and very entertaining.

Movie 2: Downton Abbey: A New Era

Movie 2: Cha Cha Real Smooth

Here is a warm hearted independent film about a man who is a party host befriending a young woman and her daughter. It’s loving, sentimental and often funny. Its rated R for language and sexual content. It’s listed as a Drama/Comedy. It’s available on Apple TV. We viewed it at our local theater.

Movie 3: Lightyear

This animated Comedy Adventure film takes Buzz Lightyear and his recruits on an intergalactic adventure. On one hand it’s lighthearted and easy to watch. On the flipside, it’s a bit disappointing given its Disney pedigree. This movie has been banned in China and Saudi Arabia because of one, brief lesbian kiss.

The long awaited release of the latest in the series does not disappoint!! Dinosaurs and humans co-exist. It runs a whopping 2 hours, 26 minutes. It’s rated PG-13 but parents should be aware there is intense action, violence and strong language. Very good special affects and good fun to see original cast members.
