Smurfs: The Lost Village Movie / Film Review
Smurfs: The Lost Village
The overall feel (The Smurfs: The Lost Village) is a throwback to those days back in the 1980's when I could grab some cereal and watch tv while the rest of the house was still sleeping.

20th Century Women
Part of why this script works is the cast.  They work so well together that the dialogue makes sense and the scenes feel as intimate as they should.

The Smurfs
For those, like me, who remember the cartoon, this movie is a pleasant stroll down memory lane.  The Smurfs are well animated with special attention given to details.

People who were kids of the 90s will rush to the theater for the nostalgia of one of their favorite television shows...for many others who didn’t grow up with it, it has no sense of connection to them.

Assassins Creed
With a terrific cast full of Oscar nominees and winners, I had pretty high expectations...Fassbender is pretty tough as Cal...Irons always makes for a convincing bad guy.
