#FridayReviews: "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood"

Quentin Tarantino is getting desperately closer to his self-imposed film limit of 10 created by him, which leads to some questions: Will  Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood lose him some fans though before he finishes his last? Quentin does like to tweak historical events, but has he gone to the well one too many times? From Google: "Rick ( Leonard DiCaprio ), a washed-out actor, and Cliff ( Brad Pitt ), his stunt double, struggle to recapture fame and success in 1960s Los Angeles. Meanwhile, living next door to Rick is Sharon Tate ( Margot Robbie ) and her husband Roman Polanski ( Rafal Zawierucha )."

#WednesdayReviews: "The Night Comes for Us"

My first Netflix Party with my brethrens, and the movie picked was  The Night Comes for Us . Let's go! From Google: "Ito ( Joe Taslim ), a gangland enforcer, is caught amidst a treacherous and violent insurrection within his Triad crime family."

#SundayReviews: "Jojo Rabbit"

A comedy with Adolf Hitler? Does "too soon" still apply? Maybe it does, since Taika Waititi couldn't find anyone to take the role, and so had to play it himself in his own movie! Let's check out Jojo Rabbit . From Google: "Jojo ( Roman Griffin Davis ) is a lonely German boy who discovers that his single mother ( Scarlett Johansson ) is hiding a Jewish girl ( Thomasin McKenzie ) in their attic. Aided only by his imaginary friend -- Adolf Hitler ( Taika Waititi ) -- Jojo must confront his blind nationalism as World War II continues to rage on."
