Scrooge
Fun fact: This is the second time Bricusse has created a musical version of Dickens’s novella. The first was a live-action film with Albert Finney as Scrooge. One of the most memorable songs from that film, “Thank You Very Much,” is uncomfortably reprised here, again as a celebration of Scrooge’s death. God will bless us, everyone, if the inevitable next “A Christmas Carol” is better than this one. ScroogeDirector: Stephen DonnellyImdb:   7.2 "Scrooge: A Christmas Carol" is as if someone made a bet that one of the most enduringly beloved works of literature—adapted with great success innumerable times featuring everyone from Mickey Mouse to the Muppets to Mister Magoo to classically trained British actors to Jim Carrey, to Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell just a couple of weeks ago—could be remade so poorly that it was close to unwatchable. 2022 1 h 37 min Cartoon Cast: Director Stephen Donnelly Writer (based on the novella: "A Christmas Carol" by) Charles Dickens Writer (original writer: 1970 film "Scrooge") Leslie Bricusse Writer Stephen Donnelly Editor Graham Silcock Composer Jeremy Holland-Smith Official trailer:

Avatar: The Way of Water
Fun fact: There has been so much conversation about the cultural impact of "Avatar" recently, as superheroes dominated the last decade of pop culture in a way that allowed people to forget the Na'vi. Watching "Avatar: The Way of Water," I was reminded of how impersonal the Hollywood machine has become over the last few decades and how often the blockbusters that truly make an impact on the form have displayed the personal touch of their creator. Avatar: The Way of WaterDirector: James CameronImdb:   8.1 Jake Sully lives with his newfound family formed on the extrasolar moon Pandora. Once a familiar threat returns to finish what was previously started, Jake must work with Neytiri and the army of the Na'vi race to protect their home. 2022 2 h 32 min Adventures Cast:  Director James Cameron Writer (story by) James Cameron Rick Jaffa Amanda Silver Josh Friedman Shane Salerno Cinematographer Russell Carpenter Editor Stephen E.
