As we prepare for the opening of theaters and the return to normal life practices, we want to remind people that we are still within the thralls of a pandemic, and recommend people check out our article on “If You Should Go Out” Here. Until then though, if you do go to a theater make sure it has a policy of requiring attendees to wear masks, and sit in isolated groups out of proximity of other viewers.
Encanto – Releasing in Theaters
Rotten Tomatoes Reviewer Score – 93%
In the magic world of Encanto, all children are born with a blessing, until the Madrigals daughter Mirabel is born, played by Stephanie Beatriz. But when Encanto’s magic is in danger, Mirabel might be the only one who can protect it.
It’s Disney. If you got kids, you are going to see this. The cast is pretty impressive, and I’m glad to see John Leguizamo getting work. The reviews are also coming across as pretty supportive of the film. So if you have to take the kids to see a movie, make it this one for your own sanity.

Based on the shocking story behind the fashion empire, Gucci, Patrizia Reggiani, played by Lady Gaga, marries Maurizio Gucci, played by Adam Driver. What follows their nuptials is her ambition rocking the Gucci family, played by stars like Jared Leto, Jeremy Irons, and Al Pacino.
Eat the rich. Just kidding. While the reviews of this film are up and down, it’s being said that Gaga’s performance is amazing and breathtaking. Her commitment to the role showcases her skill along with Adam Driver, whose accent does come off as a bit forced sometimes.

The Unforgiveable – Releasing in Theaters and then a week later on Streaming
Rotten Tomatoes Reviewer Score – (None Available Yet)
When thinking she was protecting her little sister, that she was raising, Ruth, played by Sandra Bullock, murders a police officer. A crime which she was sentenced for 20 years. Now out she returns to a hometown that hates and judges her, and a sister she lost. Now with the help of Attorney John Ingram, played by Vincent D’Onofrio, she will seek the right to reconnect with the last piece of her life.
Bullock and D’Onofrio deliver amazing performances in this piece, while Jon Bernthal, Viola Davis, and Rob Morgan provide amazing and powerful supporting characters for the story. It’s a tough journey that reminds me of the film “The Woodsman” which took a hard look at people serving their punishment. Can they ever return to society or will they forever be marked by their crimes.
