This animation feature is on the dovetails of the creators of Despicable Me, Minions and The Secret Life of Pets.

Directed by Cate Shortland, Black Widow is about Natasha Romanoff, played by Scarlett Johansson, in her quests between the films Civil War and Infinity Wars.
Ned Benson and Jac Schaeffer co-wrote the screenplay based on Stan Lee, Don Heck, and Don Rico comic books.
Rachel Weisz and David Harbour play critical roles in the movie – Weisz as Melina Vostokoff and Harbour as Alexei Shostakov and Red Guardian.
Weisz’s most recent role was in The Favourite, and she is married to James Bond, Daniel Craig. David Harbour played the Sheriff in Stranger Things and played Hellboyin the remake.
Black Widow is Shortland’s first major movie, though it looks like she directed a couple of arthouse movies.
Not a lot of information about the movie, so we watch the trailer to figure out what is happening in the story. It looks like the Black Widow goes home and spends time with her family.
The TV spot is 90 seconds long, almost the length of a trailer, and it contains what is in the above trailer and a little bit more.
I am impressed with these presentations, and I am hoping for a great movie.
Co-written and directed by Taika Waititi, Jojo Rabbit brings humor and pathos to his World War II satire. The story follows a lonely German boy named Jojo, played by Roman Griffin Davis.
Jojo’s view of the world is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother, played by Scarlett Johansson, is hiding a young Jewish girl, played by Thomasin McKenzie, in their attic.
Aided only by his idiotic imaginary friend, Adolf Hitler, played by the director – Waititi, Jojo must confront his blind nationalism.
Waititi is best known for directing Thor: Ragnarok and Hunt for Wilderpeople. Christine Leunens co-wrote the screenplay with Waititi.
Sam Rockwell and Rebel Wilson also star in the movie.
The second trailer is funny. I know it’s not a good idea to joke about the Nazis and the Holocaust, but it is entertaining and hilarious.
The movie clip shows how much Davis and Johansson look alike, mother and son.
The following clip shows the ultra-silliness of the movie. Davis is so charming as the boy with an active imagination.
The following clip might be blocked, but it is funny, and I hope you can see it.
I like the following clip because it is so funny with great timing.
The featurette is thorough and discusses all aspects of the movie.
The movie looks like a lot of fun to watch. I’ve heard nothing but positive feedback about the comedy.
The following two featurettes are about Editing and Production Design. They are for those who love to learn more about the film and its production value. Watching the featurette on editing, you can see how much Griffin looks like Johansson.
In the next featurette, I love how they explain the use of colors and the camera. It is such a gorgeous-looking film.
Directed by Lucia Aniello, Rough Night is an edgy R-rated comedy about five best friends from college (played by Scarlett Johansson, Kate McKinnon, Jillian Bell, Ilana Glazer, and Zoë Kravitz) reunite 10 years later for a wild bachelorette weekend in Miami.

Set in a world similar to humans but utterly inhabited by animals, Sing follows Buster Moon, played by McConaughey, a dapper Koala who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times.

Now facing the crumbling of his life’s ambition, he has one ultimate chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition.
Featuring over 85 hit songs, the story focuses on five lead contestants emerge, including a mouse, played by MacFarlane, a timid teenage elephant, played by Tori Kelly, an overtaxed mother, played by Witherspoon, a young gangster gorilla, played by Egerton, and a punk-rock porcupine, played by Johansson. Each animal arrives under Buster’s marquee, believing that this is their shot at changing the course of their life.
Here is a special message from Sing. This movie keeps getting cuter.
