Abominable
Starring: Chloe Bennett and Eddie
Izzard
Rated PG
A young woman named 'Yi' finds a lost
Yeti and vows to return him to his family.
“Abominable” is a wonderfully
animated and engaging film for audiences of any age. The film deals
with grief, loss and finding one's way through it. Those themes are
delivered in such a way that they enhance the story, not over shadow
it.
The story takes the audience on a hero's journey and with every step, Yi makes a discovery about herself and the world around her.
In the end, “Abominable” is about finding purpose and value in life.
It gets an A and is rated PG.

Judy
Starring: Rene Zellweger and Finn
Wittrock
Rated PG-13
The last 6 months of the life of Judy
Garland is explored as she prepares for several performances in
London.
Based on the stage play “End of the
Rainbow,” “Judy” offers one view of the entertainer's life as
her career begins to fade. The film flashes back to a young Judy as
she is being handled and manipulated during the filming of “The
Wizard of Oz.”
These flashbacks provide a slight insight into the adult Judy and her motivation in keeping her family together. The movie needed to be deeper.

Although Renee Zellweger's performance
is stunning, and the actress will undoubtably get a Best Actress
Nomination, the film needed to give us more about Garland's
relationships with the people closest to her, including her oldest
daughter Liza Minelli.
In the final reel, “Judy” is well
worth seeing and offers an amazing performance by its star but falls
short in letting the audience see behind the curtain.
“Judy” gets a B and is rated PG-13.
