Cruella - wasn't going to watch this but saw a review that said it was good. I usually skip Disney live action films derived from their cartoons (101 Dalmations, I saw as a kid). It wasn't terrible. I stayed awake through it. Had its moments, with Emma Thompson being the best of them. Another Emma starred. Only three dalmations in the movie. So 3/5 b&w dalmations.
Black Widow - I wasn't expecting much, as Marvel seems to be in a Disney decline, but this one is pretty good. I guess it is the back story of the Avengers character, Black Widow, who usually hangs out in Avengers films looking like Scarlet Johanson. Lots of action and fun. I'll get to see it again, because my wife slept through most of it. 4/5 russian spiders.
Blithe Spirit - A humorous story of a ghost haunting her remarried widower's home, based on a Noel Coward play. Decent. I especially liked Leslie Mann's "spirited" performance. 3/5 noelly ghosts.
