Toy Story 4

My family has waited patiently for 5 years for this movie to come out, we all went together and got prime seats and saw the movie in 3D.  Was it worth the wait?  Probably not.  Was it good?  Heck yes!  The movie has some pretty deep themes ranging from self awareness, love and sacrifice, moving on and more, but for my gang of kids, it was more about an escape from an antique store.  Whether you're here for the chuckles, the nostalgia, or the laughter, there's a lot to like about Toy Story 4.  Recommend.


Patriots Day

I've had this movie on my "list" for a long time, Marky Mark does a fine job as one of the heroes of the Boston Marathon Bombing.  I was impressed with much of the casting and how close they look to their real life counterparts.  I haven't read History vs. Hollywood yet, but from what I remember of the real life events, this seemed fairly accurate.  Of course the "personal stories" are likely fabricated, but that's just fluff for what really went down.  A remarkable story, I remember as the events were unfolding how I thought this would make a great movie, but in the end, the real events were much more enthralling.  I'd still recommend though.
