Sean’s movie thoughts

 It has been too long since I have seen any of the previous Toy Story movies, so I cannot say how much better any of those films are than Toy Story 5. Maybe the first three are better than the last two. In this one, Bonnie gets a tablet and the toys are worried that she will abandon them. Jessie has been hurt before and she dreads being hurt that way again.  Bonnie is having a hard time making friends and the toys are worried about that too. I liked it. Maybe Tom Hanks’ Woody is not needed in the movie. Oh well if that is the worst thing I can say about the movie, that is okay. I think this is worth re-watching.  At no point do I remember thinking this movie is too long or how much longer is this film.

 The Furious is great. The fights are amazing. Two men investigate a human trafficking operation and beat up a bunch of people.  This is worth seeing on a big screen. (This is not related to the Fast and Furious franchise.) I guess we are not getting a Masters of the Universe sequel. I am glad I saw it. I thought the Dolph Lundgren cameo was decent. They were not bringing in Frank Langella (who played Skeletor in the 1987 film) for a cameo. I went to another theater to see the Furious. Both are part of the same chain, so it was not too different. Maybe I should try another chain this year. I saw a trailer for the movie One Night Only. The stars look like they have decent chemistry but the premise seems dumb. Maybe I will wait for reviews before deciding if I want to see it.

 Masters of the Universe is good. Maybe it is 10 or 15 minutes too long. Maybe the opening act is too long. Adam Prince of Eterna is exiled on Earth after Skeletor and his forces invade Eterna. Life on Earth has not been great for Adam. He finds a magic sword and returns home.  The movie is good. Maybe it would have better if it were shorter. I guess it was hard to know how to balance Adam's life on Earth with his life on Eterna. I feel the makers of the film missed the balance. Also maybe the movie was a bit too jokey.  I think there was at least one joke at the wrong time. Maybe a moment should have been allowed to play out without the joke. This film is not quite as overly jokey as Thor Ragnarok. (I would cite Thor Love and Thunder but maybe that would be unfair considering I did not finish Thor Love and Thunder.) I liked the star Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam and Jared Leto was good as Skeletor. I don't think I have seen Galitzine in any movie or TV show. People w...
