This is a loooong weekend. So much so that I forgot that today was Friday this morning and failed to go to my weekly Friday morning gathering.

Going to the movies is not very complicated this weekend, but let’s make it even simpler. There are relatively few choices, but not many of them will really make you unhappy, so long as you respect the lane your taste is in.

FAMILY
Inside Out 2 - The best of what is out there… lots of eye candy for the little ones, though the themes are more teen.
Despicable Me 4 - Solid Despicable Me movie… not much on plot… heavy on physical comedy hijinks.
IF - A lot of death for a kid’s movie, but death was a Disney signature back in the day. Still out there in over 1000 venues.
The Garfield Movie - Purely kids’ junk… but only painful if you want to be in pain.

TEENS & UP!!!
A Quiet Place: Day One
- A much more interesting movie than the thriller that has been sold…. but also a thriller that will have you jumping at times.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die - It knows exactly…
