How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World

Hiccup, now chief, along with his vigilante viking crew, set out to rescue dragons and bring them to Berk. Their missions ignite a new threat to their village and their way of life. Love.

This was cute, however not nearly as heartfelt or clever as the original. In fact, it doesn't really even live up to the second movie, which was a solid sequel. This final chapter is sweet albeit predictable and not innovative or endearing enough to hold a candle to its predecessors.

** Rentable

Rated PG (for mild language and thematic elements)

The Upside









A wealthy quadriplegic hires an unlikely caregiver. Their worlds collide and at times are in perfect sync as they develop a life changing friendship.

Not as funny as I thought it would be and very predictable, nevertheless this is a feel good, slightly comedic drama about life, friends and the unknown that is worth seeing.

*** Must See

Rated PG-13 (for language, sexual content, drug use and thematic elements) 

Isn't it Romantic

Natalie has been raised on romantic comedies, and as such, it has left her as a lifelong cynic when it comes to love. So when she wakes up after a mugging in a live romcom she must use her knowledge of the formulaic, the cheesy, the predictable , the corny, and the trite, to get back to her real life.

This was a fun, if not brilliant, idea that was so poorly executed it was hideous.

 Cliché in its clichéity.

* Not-a-chance

Rated PG-13 (for sexual content and language)
