Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)

Young hero Thomas embarks on a mission to find a cure for a deadly disease known as "The Flare".

OK post-apocalyptic sci-fi drama aimed at a more adolescent audience has is mildly entertaining.

The Jungle Book (2016)

The man-cub Mowgli flees the jungle after a threat from the tiger Shere Khan and, guided by Bagheera the panther and the bear Baloo, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery, though he also meets creatures who don't have his best interests at heart.

Highly entertaining updated version of Kipling's classic, mixing excellent CGI animation with a real  (good) actor playing Mowgli, resulting in more realistic and in parts dark and upsetting sequences for a child audience.

On renewed viewing: menawhile a guilty pleasure of mine.

Okja (2017)

A young girl risks everything to prevent a powerful, multinational company from kidnapping her best friend - a fascinating beast named Okja.

Likable, idiosyncratic tale with ecological and political overtones is imaginative and mischievous and somehow manages the balance bewtwenn silliness and seriousness.

Rabbit Hole (2010)

Life for a happy couple is turned upside down after their young son dies in an accident.

Simple, but not too remarkable tale about loss and grief; the good cast makes it worth the watch.

Maltin***: "Honest, moving portrait of how a couple deals with grief...Superior acting makes this well worth seeing, despite the somber subject matter."

On renewed viewing: I still enjoy this version very much.
