Glass

      This movie takes place after the events of Split, and 19 years after Unbreakable, David Dunner (Willis) tracks down Kevin Wendell Crumb and his 23 other identities (McAvoy), and they both wind up in a psychiatric ward along with Elijah Price (Jackson).

     This is a re-review of the this movie, and I first reviewed it back in January when it was in theaters. You can click here for the original review. I didn't mention this in that review but, I don't like the way this film ends. And, My opinion hasn't changed on it. Parents, like i said in the original review, it's probably not for your little ones. They'll probably be more interested in something else. Something that's probably more suitable for them.

     This Animated Comedy is about these adorable pets living in New York, that live secret lives when their owners are not around. It's very similar to Toy Story, but with animals instead of toys.

Instant Family

Rated: PG-13

Director: Sean Anders
Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Rose Byrne

     This film stars Mark Wahlberg and Rose Byrne, as a couple who decides to become foster parents to three children. They then find themselves that being adoptive parents, is more challenging than they thought.


     This is a good movie. Parents, It's rated PG-13, So I wouldn't recommend this flick to younger audiences. If they edited out all the foul language, and all the other suggestive material, it probably would of gotten a PG.

Final Grade:
A

The Upside

Rated: PG-13
Release Date: January 11, 2019
Runtime: 2 hours 6 minutes
Director: Neil Burger

     This movie is about a New York parolee (Hart), who gets a job working for  a Bitter, Crippled, Rich man (Cranston), who feels like life is no longer worth living. They develop a friendship that started out as a professional relationship, and they learn that life is worth living.


    I thought that this film is way better than Green Book. Mainly because, that there isn't nearly as much foul language. But still, Parents, I'm not sure if your little ones would be interested in this movie. But your older kids, maybe.


Final Grade:
A+
