Friday: Mortal Kombat II (2026)
Shao Kahn is an evil warrior trying to take over all the realms. When Kitana was a young girl he took over her realm. Now as an adult she goes along with what he wants, but will never fully be on his side. He has his sights set on Earthrealm. A tournament will take place. Earth champions versus his champions. Earth is down one champion. The new chosen champion is Johnny Cage, a washed up action star. He is reluctant to join them, but has no choice. Earth's champions must fight to protect their planet. I thought this movie was ok. I should have skipped it. The acting and the story were not good. Some of the battles were entertaining. There are some funny moments. My only connection with the game this movie is based on is playing it at arcades. I always chose Kitana (mostly because she was one of the few female characters they had). So it was cool to see her in this movie.

This movie is told from the perspective of an octopus named Marcellus. Tova is a widow who works as the cleaner at the aquarium Marcellus is at. She has had a hard time. Losing her husband recently and her son not long before that. Marcellus is the only one she talks to. A young man, Cameron, comes to town in search of his dad. While there his car breaks down. Tova takes a fall and is out of work. Needing the money Cameron takes over her job at the aquarium. She doesn't stay away for long. Despite a rocky start they get along. Little do they know they have a greater connection. This movie was good. A little cheesy but still good.

Friday: The Sheep Detectives (2026)
George is a shepherd who lives near a small town in England. Every night he reads a murder mystery to his sheep. They love them. Lily can usually figure out who the killer is before the rest of the sheep. One morning Lily finds George dead in front of his trailer. They soon figure out it was murder. She doesn't think the idiot cop will be able to solve it on his own. So Lily and the other sheep work to solve his murder. I thought this movie was good. You wouldn't think a movie with talking sheep who try to solve a murder would work but it does. The writing was good.
