Toy Story 5 is good

 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.

I lost interest in the Girl in the Spider’s Web

I am not saying this is a terrible movie. I just lost interest and I think I had 40 or maybe 50 minutes left to watch. I might try it to watch it again in a month or so. Or I might not. Claire Foy plays Lisabeth Salandar, the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, in this movie. She is the third actress to take the role and she is good in it. The problems with the film don’t include her. This movie bombed but it doesn’t seem like it hurt Foy’s career. I am not sure why I lost interest. I thought there was a car chase that went on too long. I’ve seen a lot of car chases over the years but it feels like I have not seen a really good one in a while. This feels like it wants to be a female James Bond or female Jason Bourne movie. It is fairly humorless. Except for Foy’s performance, there is not much to recommend this film. I am not recommending this movie. If I re-watch it and revise my opinion, I will write a new blog posting,

Thoughts about the Short History of the Long Road

I liked this film. Sabrina Carpenter stars as Nola, a teenage girl living in a van and traveling America after her father’s death. They were on the road together when he suddenly died.  I think they have been on the road since her early childhood. Nola has to figure out what she does next. I won’t go into the plot details but I will say that the movie is mostly optimistic. Nola meets mostly nice people during her time on the road including Danny Trejo as an auto repair shop owner. Nola does meet her mother (okay, I spoiled the part of the plot). While the film is sometimes sad, I don’t think the move was grim or depressing. Nola’s dad might have romanticized their life on the road. Nola did not, she sees that it has some drawbacks, and I don’t the film does either. The life looks a bit lonely. Carpenter was good in her second non-Disney film (she had a role in the Hate You Give, which was not a Disney film before the Disney/Fox merger). The supporting actors are good. This wa...

Class Act was fun

 Kid and Play star in this comedy. Kid plays Duncan Pinderhughes, a genius. Play stars as Blade Brown, a delinquent. Their identities get confused and they decide, well Blade decides, to keep the situation going. (How their identities get confused is not worth explaining.) This is kind of like the Prince and the Pauper movie except the guys don’t look alike. There are young women to romance and a bully to deal with. Some of these scenes are fun. There are also fashion lessons and dialogue lessons for Duncan. These scenes are also fun. Duncan’s parents start to suspect that he is gay and later are happy that he is not. (This is not mean spirited but maybe it would not be done in a film made today.) It was worth seeing again. Maybe the original House Party movie is better.
