I played The Nightmare Before Christmas last night for my friend who had never seen it before. She really liked it a lot.

Forgot to give it a number rating, 6/10Mary Poppins Returns (2018)- I had low expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised. As a fan of the original, I thought this one did alright as a sequel. There was this one scene where the CGI absolutely sucked, but it made up for it with one big part where the special effects were really nice.
Plot- The boy from the original now has kids of his own, and they have a bit of a predicament on their hands, the bank wants to repossess their house. Mary Poppins comes back and aims to fix that, Mary Poppinisms ensue.
Dick Van Dyke makes a great cameo.
There’s also a kid named Georgie who chases things of his blown away by storms. And likes balloons.
Bird Box (Netflix 2018)
Sandra Bullock gave a good performance. Really enjoyed John Malkovich and his character. Movie has been billed as one of the most terrifying things on TV. Not even close, though it started out with promise. Decent movie but left too much unexplained or unresolved.
Thanks for the advice - going to see if I can find the book first.Anyone here read the book?
The book had great reviews. I haven't read it and was kind of holding off on the movie while I decide if I want to read the book first.
