Movies

13. Harriet (November 2) -- 3.5 stars

This was a bit Hollywood but I really enjoyed it anyways. Did get the sense they took some unnecessary liberties with Harriet's life -- I'd never heard anything about black slavecatchers -- but if that's accurate I'll retract my sideye. Honestly it's ridiculous that it took this long to get a big budget Harriet Tubman movie considering how incredible she was. 3.5 stars

14. Frozen 2 (November 23) -- 3 stars

I liked it! Music wasn't as strong as the first movie but the outfits were on point. Character arc worked for me too. 3 stars
