Little do the scientists and military personnel know they will soon be a target for an attack. Eddie and Venom have to outrun the police, the military, and the henchmen to try and make it to NYC. I thought this movie was alright. It is better than the second movie but not by much. It has some good humor. But it is campy and the story isn't the best. Saturday: Come Away (2020)         Alice and P...

 Friday: Piece by Piece (2024)       This is a music documentary but done in Lego. It is about the singer and producer Pharrell Williams. He grew up in Virginia Beach. Pharrell always loved music. He also has chromethesia, meaning he can see colors when he hears music. In high school he started a band called The Neptunes. Later a record label opened in his town. He got his start there. He became a producer first. Working with musicians like Jay-Z, Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg, and more. Later he was able to perform his own songs. Pharrell's fame and success has had highs and lows, but he's finally in a better place. I thought this movie was alright. It was interesting to learn about him. It's a unique way to tell his story, in Lego. Technically it's a kids movie too. I don't think a lot of the parents knew what they were taking their kids to see. My favorite part was when he first meets Snoop Dogg an assistant sprays "PG Spray". Which looks a lot like smoke. I...
