Rocky and the Search for Family

 Saturday: Wildhood (2021)

       This is a Canadian film. Link learns that his father has been lying to him. His mom, who is First Nations, didn't die. Link runs away with his little brother Travis to look for his mom. Along the way he meets Pasmay, who is also First Nations. Pasmay agrees to give them a ride on his way to a powwow. They search for Link's mom. Along the way Link and Pasmay realize they have feelings for each other. I thought this movie was alright. 

Sunday: Tron: Ares (2025)

          Two companies are competing to bring AI beings to the real world from the grid. Julian's company has had success in building strong fighters, like Ares. But they only last for a short time in the real world. Julian is trying to find the permanence code. Eve continues her late sister's work to find the code. They are from the other company started by Kevin Flynn. Julian wants the code by any means. He uses Ares to track down Eve. Ares is starting to question who he is and why he was built. He rebels and disobeys orders. This movie was alright. It was better than I thought it would be. It got some pretty bad reviews. It's not the best, but an ok watch.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Friday: Project Hail Mary (2026)

            The sun is dying and the stars are going out. A virus has spread to all the stars nearby but one. A rocket is being sent to see why that star hasn't been infected. Ryland is a brilliant scientist working as a science teacher. He is recruited to help find out what is going on. Although he is not an astronaut he is sent on the mission. Once he reaches the star he encounters a rock like alien he names Rocky. Rocky is there for the same reason. They work together to find out why this star is able to survive. I thought this movie was really good. It's a perfect mix of sci fi, drama, and comedy. The auditorium was pretty full, but it was quiet the whole movie. No one was talking. Which is a sign of a good movie. Everyone was fully engrossed in the movie.

Grogu and the Friendly Neighbor

 Friday: Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026)         The Mandalorian (Mando) and Grogu are working for the New Republic. There are still many Imperial Warlords out there even if the Empire has fallen. Their new assignment is to find a warlord who is dangerous but not much is known about him. The Hutts have information on him. They will give it to Mando if he can rescue their nephew, Rotta. Rotta has been kidnapped and made to fight in nightly cage matches. Mando and Grogu set out to rescue him, but much more is at play than they knew. I thought this movie was good. It's a stand alone adventure. So if you haven't watched the tv series you'll be ok. Wish I had known that before I gave me parents (who went with me) a recap of all three seasons. Oh well. They still enjoyed it. Grogu is so cute. And that's all the matters. Saturday: WarGames (1983)          David is an intelligent teen who is great with computers. While trying to get ...
