The Good I went into Puss in Boots: The Last Wish will little to no expectations being that this is a sequel to a movie spin-off that wasn’t that great. After watching this one, I was shocked by how much I loved this movie. One of the things that makes the Shrek films so much fun is the way they give us fun reimagining of well-known fairy tales. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish gives us several including a great new depiction of Goldilocks, voiced by Florence Pugh. The animation of this film is a huge leap from previous films. It looks and ...

  Brendan Fraser makes a return to the silver screen in A24’s The Whale . The Whale centers around an obese teacher who has become a hermit. When he realizes that he is dying, he makes an effort to reconnect to his estranged daughter (Sadie Sink) in hopes of making amends to a relationship that may already be beyond repair. What follows is The Good, The Bad, and The Spoilers of  Violent Night. The Good The Whale is being hailed as a glorious return to Hollywood for Brendan Fraser, but it is worth noting that the acting in this movie is glorious across the board. Brendan Fraser does an amazing job portraying Charlie, the 400-pound English teacher, who is battling more inner demons than just his weight. Hong Chau plays Kim, who is Charlie’s caregiver and friend. In my opinion, Chau’s acting was the most well delivered.

Audiences come to find out that this Santa use to be a Viking warrior 1100 years ago, but how it happened is a mystery. ...
