Avengers: Infnity War

A year or two ago I suffered from "Super Hero Fatigue" ... just too many movies, but with the new Avengers coming out soon, I felt it was time to watch this one.  It's good, and while I'm not familiar with the whole Marvel Cinematic Universe, I was able to put it all together and fill in the gaps for this movie to make sense.  The plot is surprisingly simple (which I appreciated), the cast is second to none and the jokes are quick and fast.  At 2.5 hrs I felt it would have been better served 30 minutes shorter, but it didn't really drag terribly at any point. An interesting concept for a film mostly about smashing things.  I liked it.  Recommend.

The Lego Movie 2

The first Lego movie had a lot to live up to, but I really enjoy this series for it's "meta" factor.  It know exactly what it is and doesn't try to be what it's not.  I even enjoyed the Ninjago movie.  This is the second movie we've taken the whole family to and about half way through the younger ones were getting bored, but we made it through with plenty of snacks on hand.  We even snuck in our own huge bag of popcorn.  Anyways, the movie, the same wit and charm you've come to expect, a few catchy songs, and one that even rivals "Everything is Awesome" with "The Catchy Song".  Fun for the whole fam.  Recommend.

A Star Is Born

I went into this movie expecting a typical rise to fame film, but it turned out to be much more than that...I don't want to spoil it, but it was much "deeper" than anticipated.  Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga did a great job, I liked it.  I expected a few more hits to come out of the soundtrack but I guess "Into the Shallows" is it.  Oh well.  Recommend.
