Child's Play
Starring: Audrey Plaza and Mark Hamill
Rated R.
In the reboot of the franchise, a young mother gives her son a toy doll unaware of its sinister nature.
Rebooting a franchise isn't an easy task, but the producers of “Child's Play” did a remarkable job in keeping the terror and creepiness from the original film and amping up the action and thrills for a whole new audience.
“Child's Play” makes great use of it's slow pacing and builds up into a well-orchestrated scream fest. Special mention goes to the animatronic team of puppeteers who controlled 'Chucky.' And although, a lot of the film was digitized and CGI, the creepiest moments came from the way the SPFX team maneuvered the doll.

Yesterday
Starring: Himesh Patel and Lily James
Rated PG-13
Rated PG-13
When a musician suffers and accident, he awakens in a world that has never heard of “The Beatles” or their music.
“Yesterday” is a lovely tribute film. Although we 'Baby Boomers' don't need to be reminded how amazing The Beatles were, I think its a good thing that maybe a few younger people might open up their ears and have a listen.
But also “Yesterday” is a love story and a good one at that. Both Himesh Patel and Lily James at first seem a very unlikely paring, by the end of the film audiences will love them.
And, like the song says, “Love is All You Need.”
“Yesterday gets a solid B and is rated PG-13.
