In The Heights (2021) ***

Free Guy (2021) ***

"The Matrix" meets "The Truman Show" meets "Ready Player One".

No Time To Die (2021) ***

Excellent James Bond movie, with a bravura comic performance by Ana de Armas, a more subtle, but equally memorable supporting role by Lashana Lynch, spectacular scenery, great action scenes and a very unusual ending.

Being The Ricardos (2021) ***

Excellent film about Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez.

Directed by George Clooney.

A very good American remake of "La Famille Belier" (2014).

Impressive drama about tennis superstars Venus and Serena Williams, with Will Smith in an Oscar-nominated performance as their hard-driving father.

An inferior remake of the 1961 Oscar-winning classic. Still impressive for its great songs and superbly choreographed musical numbers.
