if you're looking for something to do this holiday weekend you've already seen the new star wars movie then there are some others out there. fox5's kevin mccarthy does have ideas for you , including the new ji man ji movie. and a movie he is calling the most important of the year. hey everybodies

movie reviews of the year. let's start off with justice department man ji. it's a a situate quell. the film does pay homage to robin williams to the first film. it was one of my favorite movies of all time. the new film starring david johnson is completely a different take on the story that exists in the same universe which is why it serves more as a sue quell to that because they refer back to robin williams' character. it starts out with 14 kairkt issues in detention with the game justice department man ji. the fourteen agers get sucked into the game and become the characters they were playing within the game. this creates a lot of character considering jack black's character is actually a teenage girl mpt the chemistry is great and the concept is very clever especially if you're a video game fan. the rock is fantastic in the role and

great as well. the week weak's performance was quef in heart. it definitely is entertaining and something worth seeing in theaters. i gave it a 3.5 out of five worth seeing. next up is steven spiel ^berg's movie is the post which tells the timely and true story publishing the pentagon papers in the early '70 s. they were absolutely fan tag particular in this film. they began shooting this movie at the end of end of may and it's now coming out. it's incredible the timeliness of the film as well as how he did his signature quality in that short of time. it was shot on 35- millimeter film and balances out where you even find yourself wondering what's going to happen in the end even though you already know that the washington post published these papers. that is the key to a great story material. you get so suspended in disbelief you forget what you already know about the story.

movie a 4.5 out of five. one of the best and most important film out of 2017. next up, huh jackson, this is the film about pt barn up. the music is better than the if i am many overall. the music and the soundtrack i found to be a better quality element than the movie itself. the film is one of the best soundtrack in years. awful the performances are amazing. i just felt the film's pacing was off and way too rushed in the beginning and i didn't find myself focused on a particular story line. the lip sing for the songs pulled me out at times . i gave it a three out of five. saw pitch perfect three. i liked it but didn't love it. the first one is still the best but i especially joyed spending time with these characters again . the third film i thought was a little bit unnecessary. if you want to spend time with these characters you'll find it to be a decent film just not a great if i a

still the best. i'm kevin mccarthy, fox news. a lot to see other than star wars. i guess pitch perfect three. i was watching pitch perfect two last night, even that one maybe a little unnecessary. before you hit the third, the trilogy. straight ahead, a special christmas eve message from santa himself. and a it's been a busy day forth big guy. where he was spottd doing some water skiing. stay with us. s.
