The Proposal (2009) is a warm romantic comedy carried by Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds' chemistry: a pleasant family evening and an easy 3.5/5.

A 276-piece Astro Bot with two swappable faces, a transparent cape and a display stand. Our six-year-old built it alone in under two hours. A must for Astro Bot fans.
The first new animated Avatar series since The Legend of Korra is a really good season with a great twin idea and a goosebump finale. It does not reach the original or Korra. A 4 out of 5.

The animated Moana is my favorite Disney film, so I expected the live-action remake to fall short. It does not. A 5 out of 5 for our whole family.
Avatar: Fire and Ash is visually outstanding, but like The Way of Water it lost us on story and character logic, and we watched it at home. A well-meant 3 out of 5.
Avatar: The Way of Water looks fantastic, but the characters' choices and the plot did not hold together for us. A well-meant 3 out of 5.
James Cameron's Avatar is, for us, one of the best films of all time: visually overwhelming, with a gripping story and a genius idea at its heart. Rating: 5/5.

Crime 101 is a tense, well-cast heist thriller from Bart Layton: good entertainment with Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo and Halle Berry, but not above average. Rating: 3.5/5.
