I enjoyed King of Kings and the story of David vs Goliath – So had to check this one out!

During the trailers, they showed a sing-along version of David, releasing in theaters on December 31st. I was honestly surprised seeing this as I had no idea it was a musical….. well after that experience I’m going back for another viewing for sure :D.

When David, our shepherd, is announced as the next king. David’s journey with the current active King is set up as his trial and challenge. There are two movies in one here, and I loved each part of the tale. Unexpectedly, the music, the characters, and the story being told were so powerful that I honestly cried. Locking David in as a 9/10 and bumping off the Surfer from my top 10 list.

David is a fantastic movie to bring the family to for Christmas. Currently, there’s a BOGO promotion which allows more family for cheaper to experience this movie for cheaper. Why wait to check this out at the theatres this coming weekend?

Apologize for going short on these “Reviews”. I’m taking some more medicine and heading back to bed. Thank you all for coming to Popped. blog for your movie “Reviews”. Stay tuned for SpongeBob | House Maid, | Avatar 3 coming up this weekend / next week.

I enjoyed it way more than the press & its current review scores are at.

Someone asked me, upon leaving the theatre, what I thought. I said it’s a cute movie. They then asked what it was about. It’s about a 34-year-old woman named Ella McCay becoming the Governor where she was born & raised. Now she must balance her personal life with her family & husband, along with the trials and hardships brought on by becoming Governor.

I enjoyed the characters, performances and story being told. It’s a fine movie worth checking out. Even if those scores are being dragged through the mud with 22% on RT & mid to low 50’s on other platforms.

Here at Popped, I gave Ella McCay a 6.5/10. It’s a fine movie that I didn’t find boring to watch.

Thank you for coming by Popped for your movie “Reviews”. Last one of this week’s batch, and I’ll be going back to bed. – David! Got to check out the early access yesterday.

Sadly, I’m under the weather. So this week’s batch of movie “Reviews” will be smaller.

I gave Dust Bunny a 7/10. Picking up the .5 from my experience. I was rather distracted by a family on their phone, constantly coming and going from their seats out of the theater.

10-year-old Aurora (Played by Sophie Sloan) has a monster living under her bed. Be careful touching the floors…. You may become a believer in her nightmarish tale. Aurora, after seeing her neighbor killing a dragon. Hires Resident 5B (Played by Mads Mikkelsen) to kill her monster.

I loved the world created within Dust Bunny. Honestly, I’d watch sequels within the universe following Resident 5B. Lots of great action. Tension and visual effects. Good watch to check out at the theatre.

Thanks for coming to Popped for your movie “Reviews”. Coming up next, Ella McCay.
