In Theaters: ****^ Disclosure Day (2026)

 I listened to a radio program where the speaker said he was disappointed with this movie, but I really liked it.  They were especially talking about the ending, which seemed sort of short.  I can understand.  It seems there was a long communication which came out as one word, "Listen."  But that final day was very traumatic.  This movie reminded me of "Close Encounter of the Third Kind."

The movie pits people picked by the aliens, Margaret Fairchild (Emily Blunt) and Dr. Daniel Kellner (Josh O'Connor) and Hugo (Colman Domingo).  They are trying to divulge information the gobernement has been hiding about aliens being real.  One the other side is the Wardex organization headed by Noah Scanlon (Colin Firth).  He has many resources and many men working with him.  He is also able to inhabit others, using allien technology.  He does this to Kellner's girl friend, Jane (Eve Hewson) and convinces her to kill Kellner.  She however resists his control by stabbing herself in the hand instead.  There is lots of intent actions and quirky things about alien history, Roswell and other crash sites, and crop circles.  In the end there is an alien who appears.  They make a nice use of animals, who sometimes are aliens appearing as animals so we aren't scared of them.

I would recommend this movie.  It is a Steven Spielberg sci fi movie.

In Theaters: ***Robin Hood (2018)

*** Robin Hood (2018)  Here is a very good version of the Robin Hood (Tara Egerton) story, with a mining operation outside of town; and the Sheriff of Nottingham (Ben Mendelsohn) is exploiting the people at the request of the cardinal who is using the money to keep the war going (financing the Moors) in the hopes King Richard will perish.  Moorish Little John (Jamie Fox) figures he has to travel to America to get to the end of the war.  He trains Robin, as he lost a son and a hand in the war.  Miriam (Eve Hewson) has moved on from Robin since Robin left to the war some years before, and was reported killed.  She is now with Will Scarlet (Jamie Dornan) This movie has a good start, and a terrible finish.  The new sheriff is just a contrived ending to make for sequels, which I don’t think should be made.  The question is what more does this version offer.  The only thing is the mining community outside of Nottingham.  But that is just putting gothic scenery into the film and really doesn't work.
