I watched:

Family Guy - I watched one or two more episodes.  Only two left then I'm 
all caught up.


Lilo & Stitch (theatrical) Live action version of the 2002 Disney 
animated film.  This version is almost a scene for scene remake with two 
main changes.  The first is they got rid of the villain from the 
animated version, but they just took one of the existing characters from 
the animated version and gave him the *exact* same role, doing the exact 
same stuff.  The other non change (and actually an improvement) was in 
the animated version there was a landlord character, who for no reason I 
could figure out, just happens to be a government agent who knows about 
aliens.  That reveal comes out of nowhere and never made any sense to 
me.  That character is played by Courtney B. Vance in the live action 
movie, except this time around instead of being the landlord, he's a 
government agent who knows about aliens from the start.  One other 
minor, but noticeable difference is in the animated version, Lilo is a 
huge fan of Elvis Presley, and his music is played throughout the movie. 
  In the live action version, I don't know if they couldn't get the 
rights or what, but the Elvis music is toned way, way, down.  While in 
the original Elvis is playing in every other scene, this version has 
one, maybe two Elvis songs, and I think one of those two was a cover 
version.  Anyway, if you liked the animated version, the live action 
will get the job done.


Fountain of Youth (AppleTV+) A new completely original movie directed by 
Guy Ritchie, and starring John Kransinki as Noah Wyle, I mean an 
archeologist who Raids Tombs, although one segment of the movie takes 
place at a library, so maybe he's a Librarian?  Anyway, this Tomb Raider 
teams up with his extremely reluctant sister (Natalie Portman) to find 
the International Treasure known as the Fountain of Youth.  Kransinki 
needs Portman to help him solve the Da Vinci Code.  Sorry, I meant to 
say help him solve the Rembrandt Code.  So after cracking the Remrandt 
Code the Tomb Raiders find themselves in a Temple of Doom where they 
hope to locate The International Treasure.  That is if they can dodge 
the religious cult, you know sort of like the Opus Dei, but we won't 
call them that.  Perhaps Grail Knights?  No.  Let's just call them the 
Fountain of Youth Knights, that are trying to stop them.  The Ark, I 
mean Grail, I mean Fountain of Youth is after all a religious artifact 
from God that must be protected at all costs from falling into the wrong 
hands.  And even if they make it to end of their Crusade, they must 
still choose, but choose wisely.  I haven't watched a movie this 
original in a long time!
