Reviews of the Year’s Oscar-Nominated Movies Available to Rent or Stream
Puss in Boots The Last Wish Is a terrific animated feature that will be enjoyed by children of all ages and their elders! It is the story of a legendary cat who faces his ninth life and discovers what is really important. (4*)

First of this year’s genre reviews, we look at three science fiction films, two of which are must-views!
All That Breathes is a different kind of documentary that tells its story of three Indian Muslims ministering to the needs of a bird, while exploring humanity’s relationship to the natural world. (4*)
