Jessie Buckley - remarkable.  Excellent in Fargo and War and Peace .

Timothy Spall  - consumate. The last word in acting.

I watched Greyhound last night, on Apple.

I'd never heard of the movie until yesterday.

It's very good.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.

"U.S. Navy Cmdr. Ernest Krause is assigned to lead an Allied convoy across the Atlantic during World War II. His convoy, however, is pursued by German U-boats. Although this is Krause's first wartime mission, he finds himself embroiled in what would come to be known as the longest, largest and most complex naval battle in history: The Battle of the Atlantic."

Stars Tom Hanks (he's always good).  8/10

South Park: The End of Obesity

I caught this on a streaming site the other week.

Eric Cartman is at his doctors for a check up on his obesity. His mother Liane is told that Cartman can overcome his weight problems by going on an anti-obesity drug call "Ozempic". Given the news that Cartman can then lose the weight to be able to go about insulting people without him being countered with an insult about his weight, Cartman is depressed to learn that the drug is only covered for diabetics.

Kyle and Butters learn of Cartman's inconsolability. They then go to help Cartman by trying to get Ozempic covered by the insurance. However, after being given the run around by the insurance companies, Kyle, Kenny, Stan and Butters decide to make their own version of Ozempic.

Meanwhile, Stan's father Randy is out on his own quest to try teach his daughter, Shelley, about the importance of modesty. Stan shows up at Shelley's school, with Stan dressing in a crop top to embarrass Shelley. One of the other mothers of the students show up and assume that Stan is trying to do the weightloss challenge as well. Randy, being the flirt, pretends that he is. Randy is invited to an Ozempics party at one of the mother's place. Things get out of control in the later part of the episode when Ozempic is taken off the market and used only for genuine diabetics. This leads to the group of mothers (and Randy) to go on a series of robberies at chemists to acquire the Ozempic drugs.

This is an animated fantasy comedy film, built for the whole family. Cailey Fleming stars as "Bea", a 12y.o. girl sent to live with her mother. Her father has undergone heart surgery. Bea's mother died of cancer a few years earlier.

Bea discovers that there are creatures that only she can see. Over time, she notices that her neighbour, Cal, are among the few that can see these creatures. It is later revealed that these creatures are former imaginary friends of children that have been abandoned. The creatures are called "Ifs".

Given that the Ifs have lost their former child friends, the Ifs have banded together trying to find new children to befriend. Because there seems to be a lack of success, Bea gets suggested that perhaps the Ifs should reunite with their old friends who have now become adults.

The movie is a great fantasy story. Anyone with young children will love this movie. But, it is a movie for the whole family.

Rating: B+
