Babygirl, Mufasa: The Lion King, Carry-On

Movie 1: Babygirl

A high powered female executive has an affair with a young male intern. That’s the simple narrative of the story. But there is a whole lot more going on here. Lust, ambition, inter-office relationships, power, complex desires. The acting is superb. Nicole Kidman gives an outstandingly bold, brave, Oscar worthy performance. This movie is fortunate to have been directed by a women, Dutch director Halina Reijin. If directed by a man it would have been an entirely different kind of movie.

Movie 2: Mufasa: The Lion King

Here is another well done, animated Lion King musical for all ages. It’s a prequel with beautiful visuals, fun songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda and the usual cast of colorful characters. Not one of Disney’s best, but still very entertaining.

Movie 3: Carry-On

This is a very well done, suspenseful action thriller about a terrorist organization trying to sneak a deadly bomb on an airplane Christmas Eve at LAX. The twists and turns keep this drama very entertaining. Taron Egerton (movie Rocketman) and Jason Bateman have excellent chemistry together and give very convincing performances. On Netflix.
