Movie ****+ The Shape of Water (2017)
Lovely, surprising movie by Guillermo del Toro, but maybe not so surprising since he wrote Pacific Rim, Hellboy, and Pan’s Labyrinth ***** – one of my all time favorites which he also directed.

Naomi Novik’s wonderful fantasy of an apprentice wizard and her awakening to the world of magic.
Meryl Streep was excellent in this well put together piece of history. Her performance, as usual, was worth the ticket.
Rey fights the First Order with the unwilling help of Luke Skywalker. Well-made addition to the franchise, but the franchise, in my opinion, is sorely in the need of breaking some new ground.
Wonderful animated and musical excursion to the Land of the Dead to unravel Miguel’s family history.
Fine Judy Dench period piece with a very good performance from Ali Fazal.
Batman, Wonder Woman, and friends face off against Steppenwolf parademons to protect three Mother Boxes that can destroy everything. This movie suffers from the tortured plot and many characters needing their scene.
This half-finished ‘Fall’ spoke to me.
