Caught the Bug
Polar (Netflix original film)
Many critics did not, and many people will not respond well to this movie, however both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed Polar. This movie is based on a series of graphic novels buy Victor Santos published by Dark Horse Comics. It's dark, pulpy, violent, gross, funny and engaging. Mads Mikkelsen does a superb job as Duncan Vizla/The Black Kaiser, while the cinematography is absolutely beautiful. I would love to have seen this on a 4K set.

The Sisters Brothers
Finally got a chance to catch this movie. I'm not sure if I went in with low expectations or no expectations, but I certainly didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did.

Alita: Battle Angel
Saw this twice with my family. We all really enjoyed it, particularly my daughter and I. Definitely scratched my sci-fi itch.

My wife and I were pretty stoked to see this movie. We really enjoyed Jordan Peele's Get Out, and we looked forward to his most recent offering. Unfortunately, we both thought that this movie was nothing but an overhyped steaming turd. At the end, you could hear the disappointment of a nearly sold-out audience.

Captain Marvel
Saw this preview night in XD and opening night in IMAX, both theaters were packed. My daughter has seen it more times, as she has been invited to all girl viewings. I really liked this movie. It's not at the top of the MCU, but it's still good. I think that it's poised to join the Billion-Dollar Film Club.

Shazam!
A fun movie that, although does have it's darker moments, is much lighter DC fare that was enjoyable for our whole family. Audience reaction was excellent, with several laugh out loud moments. I like this better than DC's Wonder Woman, which I am allowed to say as my wife and daughter said it first. LOL. That being said, Nolan's The Dark Knight still reigns supreme for DC.
