Recommend some good movies!

The Addams Family movie was hilarious.

One of the top tier kid's (not sure I would call this a kid movie) cartoons I've seen over the past five years.

With Nick Kroll as Uncle Fester and Snoop Dogg as cousin Itt, how can you go wrong?

The Dora the Explorer movie was way, way, way better than I would have guessed it would be. Seriously.


One of the reasons I'm not a parent is so I never have to say things like this.

Aren't you just so fucking cool!
For the record, the Dora movie stands on it's own as a good Bill and Ted meets Indiana Jones flick regardless of whether you've seen the kid's show. Though having seen the kid's show only makes it better.

Not every moment of life has to be lived in a Nick Cave world.
The Art of Self-Defense. Dan, this one was dark and creepy, and hilariously funny.

American Woman. Oscar nominations should be in order for Sienna Miller and Christina Hendricks. But since it only did 236K at the box office, likely not. So I'll gladly give them each a SON.
I took a solid 40 minute nap during Frozen 2 with my kids. Money well spent.

Great story, Britt.
^^ Oh, shit, my bad, I meant Brett, not Britt.
But seriously, Dolemite Is My Name is a great flick just for Murphy’s acting. Wouldn’t surprise me if he gets nominated for an Oscar. Great supporting cast, too.
Knives Out - great ensemble cast

My wife, daughter, and mom went to see it and all reported enjoying it. My daughter thought it was better than the original, not sure if my wife agreed.

I went hiking and Black Friday beer drinking with my brother instead. Boys will be boys.
It felt like watching a Nickelodeon special, rather than a real movie.

There's a Bikram yoga doc on the NEtflix that is gross but interesting.

Perhaps less surprising than Billie Eilish's inability to know Van Halen, but I have never seem a Nickelodeon special. Are there some you can recommend?

Bixler High Private Eye (2019)

Xander DeWitt (Jace Norman) is an inquisitive teenager with a knack for solving mysteries. His sleuthing skills get put to the test when his dad, Russell, leaves for work one day and vanishes without a trace.  Frustrated by his attempts to find his dad, Xander’s mom sends him to go live with his grandfather (Ed Begley Jr.), a retired private investigator.  It’s in his dad’s hometown that Xander finds a surprising lead in the case and builds an unexpected partnership with Kenzie Messina (Ariel Martin), an investigative reporter for the school newspaper.

Queen and Slim was interesting. One scene that I thought was a little heavy handed, but it was good.

Going to see Mr. Rogers with my Mom tonight. Kind of wanted the doc to stand on its own in my brain, but my Mom is excited to see it. My Grandmother lived down the street from him, so he's always been a special person in our lives!
I always imagined that Mr. Roger's Neighborhood was a fictional place…
Has anyone else seen the Mr. Rogers movie?
Pleasantly surprised to see musicians from two of my favorite bands with roles in Marriage Story-  Dean from Luna and Tunde from TVOTR!
