Kats video blogs did not make written blog for months

In February, "Sonic the Hedgehog finally dropped, a movie that had been recalled for 5 months to redo all the special effects. It wasn't quite worth the wait, hardly garnishing an interest. Jim Carrey chewed scenery and it inspired Channel; Awesome to comment on method acting, but the fallacy was Jim Carrey is not a method actor. He plays Jim Carrey. Sonic is an alien who comes to Earth by accident and learns to befriend a cop and go on a road trip.

Also in February. finally saw Dolittle and it was really bad. Sure there were some jokes, but most of the comedic voice actors as animals were over rated. The cringe worthy colonoscopy of a dragon scene was horrible. A mad professor goes to an impossible island to save the Queen, (Victoria, heh), from a plot to kill her and steal the throne. If you really like the comedy actors, you will like the animals, but this foray for Robert Downey Jr. was really bad. I'd rather watch Murphy in his bad version.

Then in March, finally went to see "Parasite" as the news of a pandemic broke. Ironic considering the material. The movie was highly over rated also. I didn't loath it as some did, because I understood enough Korean to get the mannerisms, from many years as former martial artist with Koreans and others. The movie seemed to get it in the best foreign film category, and the ending is fun, but it is in no way best picture of last year. Parasite was about a clever grifter family who decide to trick a rich family into boarding them.

Then went to see a sequel to a film I had not seen, "My Hero Academia 2, Heroes Unleashed" which was okay. It certainly wasn't going to win the award for best anime, but it was at times enjoyable, and the dubbing wasn't bad. The film was about a group of super mutants, and it wasn't "The New Mutants" who have to protect an island to get their merit badges as hero scouts.

Preferred "The Weathering with You (or The Weather Girl)" over it.

Then came Pixar's "Onward" a love letter to the Dungeons and Dragons crowd, of which I had dabbled in the 90s. The film was fun and sweet, but not too much so, and although wasn't "Up" or "Inside Out", it it was good. Two brothers who happen to be orcs, but fairly friendly looking, go on a quest to revive their Dad for a day.
