Hearts Beat Loud




















A father and his daughter spend her last summer before college writing songs and jamming while dealing with the reality that their lives are changing for good.

This was a slow, quiet and sappy sweet film. It has a stellar cast and the performances are great, however there is something missing that makes it difficult to get behind this coming of age movie that ultimately felt like a long music video and a platform to showcase the music written by Keegan DeWitt, Kiersey Clemons and Nick Offerman.

**1/2 Rentable

Ant-Man and The Wasp












Scott Lang is finishing up his two year sentence of being on house arrest, with just days to go; he is once again approached by Hope van Dyne and Dr. Hank Pym with hopes he will be able help them on an urgent mission.

Extremely amusing, very clever and in spite of itself, laugh out loud funny. Excellent summer entertainment.

As with all Marvel flicks stay until all credits are finished.

*** Must See

Rated PG-13 (for language, some crude humor and violence)

Won't You Be My Neighbor?

A documentary that presents the philosophy and drive behind Fred Rogers and his childrens' program Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.

For those that grew up watching Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood, this is very poignant and nostalgic view of the man behind the puppets.

Charming and often sad as it takes viewers on a journey displaying how much the world has changed and how often Rogers and his work was criticized and misunderstood.

Bittersweet and enchanting you will leave the theatre singing songs from your childhood and in awe of the man that welcomed you into his world both real and make-believe.

TAG










Five friends have competed in a game of tag during the month of May for 30 plus years. This year the game coincides with the wedding of the only player to have never been "it" before, heightening the states and upping the competition like never before. Game on...

I was delightfully shocked as to how much I enjoyed this movie. It was funny, actually had a storyline, and even with all the shenanigans was tolerably believable.

Nothing to run out and see but a fun afternoon at the movies.
