Dumbo (2019)
It could have been so much more
I've usually enjoyed many of Tim Burton's work over the years, but this one is not one of them. To start, the in your face Progressive PC messages were so obvious and thick, it took away the heart and magic that made Dumbo such a treasure. In doing so, it distracted the true star of the movie, Dumbo himself; where it should've been about him just like they did in the animated version.
With the exception of the older seasoned actors, the two main children's acting didn't impress me one bit. Particularly the young girl with her wooden acting skills as well as the lack of her facial expressions which barely changed throughout the movie.
The saving grace was watching young Dumbo and his mom Jumbo, rightfully returning home where they both belong, and not trapped in a circus act for the masses.
The InBetween (2019)
I'm already hooked!
It reminds me of Ghost Whisperer and Medium, with the added twist. Few shows catch my attention at first glance, and this one does. Cassie (Harriet Dyer) plays a believable and wonderful character that really draws me in what she's experiencing. I'm already looking forward to next week.
Highly recommend!
