“Have you ever heard the legend behind the legend of Ninjago?”
Even though I loved the first two Lego movies, I was completely unfamiliar with the toy company's Ninjago line before I sat down to watch this latest entry in the madcap cartoon franchise. (I wasn't even sure how to pronounce “Ninjago”...and the answer isn't as simple as it seems.) But my unfamiliarity with the source material isn't the reason why I feel The Lego Ninjago movie is the weakest entry in the series so far.

“Based on real events...mostly.”
Queen Victoria sure knew how to create a frenzy in court. The monarch's close relationship with Scottish servant John Brown following her husband's death caused an uproar in the royal household and inspired the 1997 film Mrs. Brown, starring Judi Dench. Turns out, Victoria and Dench were just getting warmed up! Twenty years later, the actress reprises her regal role in Victoria & Abdul, which chronicles another unique, unconventional, and even more scandalous relationship between royal and commoner.

Honestly, looking back at my life I can't say I really have acquired any heirlooms from my father. I do have a picture from when I was a young boy in a railroad hat with my dad holding me that I always keep in plain sight, but that's very different from what most people know as a heirloom. I certainly don't have a special watch (though I imagine I will inherit a grandfather clock when my father passes on), especially one with an inscription. However, if I did have one like Tzanko Petrov did in our movie, Glory, I certainly can imagine the emotional toll that would take on a man.

08 hours, 29 minutes, 20 seconds.
08 hours, 29 minutes, 30 seconds, a watch is winded by Tzanko Petrov (played by Stefan Denolyubov). He eats a small meal while listening to the local news. He then proceeds to get ready for work which includes carrying a very large wrench. After completing these tasks, he turns off the television and heads out the door.

“The worst thing that can happen to you in sports is fourth place at the Olympics. Seriously……f$*& you.”
So I only had a vague knowledge of the name Molly Bloom when I initially heard about this movie. Basically, I knew that she used to organize poker games for celebrities and masters of industry. I even recall hearing about her getting into legal trouble, but the specifics regarding her situation escaped me. I imagine that was the case for many people that don’t closely follow the tabloids. Molly’s Game, the film based on the experience, sheds a great deal of light onto her legal trouble as well as providing an in-depth look into the titular character herself. Narrated by Jessica Chastain, who also stars as Molly Bloom, the film shows her as an intelligent woman with integrity (it’s worth mentioning that certain liberties are taken, even in based on true stories) who finds herself facing a lengthy criminal sentence after being connected to a racketeering case which includes the Russian mob. Intercut between the circumstances leading up to her arrests and her court case, Molly’s Game provides the audience with every detail they could possibly want about the character. I cannot imagine a better feature directorial debut for Aaron Sorkin.
