Toy Story 5 (2026)

 

Toys and imagination versus tech and screen time. A relevant storyline for our times with some good reminders for parents. Cute and fun as usual. 

Rating: C+

Champions (2023)

An underdog basketball story that keeps to the basic formula. Some cute moments with mixed acting abilities. Very low budget. 

Rating: C

Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins' Ball (2010)

Yeah, so don't sweat not seeing the previous one. The "sequel" or "prequel?" has no connection to it whatsoever, except for maybe both containing assassins. Whereas the first had some big name actors, Assassins Ball has mostly no-names. The violence was ramped up pretty high. Mostly unrewarding though. Villains are given a very thin layer of development. This will only appeal to the most desperate action junkies.
