Summary: Christopher Robin (Ewan McGregor) has grown up and become a responsible adult, but he’s not entirely happy with his life. Additional Comments: – The target audience is really anybody who great up loving Winnie the Pooh, not really their kids. Family friendly, though not really aimed at children. – Pooh goes to London to…
Summary: Alliances are shifting. Joffrey’s fresh off a victory he largely didn’t win himself. He’s still a sadistic fool everybody loves to hate, except Cersi, she genuinely loves the twit.

*mild spoilers possible in discussion Summary: I had no expectations going into the movie, except that if Tim Burton directed it, you’re bound to be in for some brand of weird.

Spoilers ahead, maybe. 4/5 Thor Ragnarok Summary: Fun and weird. Some pretty sad and twisted stuff happens, but it’s no Game of Thrones in terms of grim factor.

*very mild spoilers possible. 4.5/5 Mission Impossible VI: Fallout Summary: Terrorists want to blow the world up, and it’s up to Ethan and company to stop them… again.
