Fan EffectAndy's KSL-TV #WhatToWatch: The dinos are back for Independence Day Weekend in ‘Jurassic World: Rebirth’Andy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the long Independence Day weekend. The dinosaurs are back on the big screen with "Jurassic World: Rebirth," which Andy thought was a highly enjoyable entry into the franchise. For weekend streaming: "The Old Guard 2" on Netflix has Charlize Theron back to kick some more butt leading a team of immortal mercenaries in the sequel to the 2020 film that was a surprising success.

Even if you're not necessarily a racing fan, "F1 The Movie" (from the director/producer of Top Gun Maverick) is a spectacle worth checking out on the biggest screen and best sound possible. Also out is "M3GAN 2.0", which kind of felt like "Terminator 2", but still was different enough to be fun.

The latest animated movie from Disney/Pixar, called "Elio," is our Big Movie of the Week, and it has some fun, imaginative elements that your kids will likely enjoy a little more than you. Producer KellieAnn Halvorsen even offers her own review of the non-sequel and non-boot film “Elio,” after Andy finishes his “What to watch?” segment.

Ana de Armas holds her own in an action-packed entry to the John Wick mythos in “From the World of John Wick: Ballerina," and yes, John himself (Keanu Reeves) does make an appearance. The latest Wes Anderson film hits theaters with its appreciative creativity and precision in "The Phoenician Scheme.” Still, despite solid performances (including those from Kate Winslet's daughter, Mia Threapleton), the narrative left Andy with sheer frustration due to its incomprehensibility.

A new chapter in the Karate Kid movie saga is the big movie of the week! "Karate Kid: Legends" sees Ralph Macchio return to the big screen as Daniel LaRusso, but in more of a sequel to the 2010s’ Jackie Chan "Karate Kid" movie. Still, at only 90 minutes long, it's worth checking out.

While Andy had never seen any of the previous "Final Destination" movies before watching "Final Destination: Bloodlines," he did think it was clever and laughable, even if the genre wasn't his forte. But documentaries wond the weekend with Netflix's fascinating look at the internet-famous guy who ate liver (and other animal parts) raw to live an "ancestral lifestyle" in "Untold: The Liver King," and an excellent three-part series called "American Manhunt: Osama Bin Laden" that traces the search for the former World's Most Wanted man...2025-05-1705 minFan EffectAndy's KSL-TV #WhatToWatch: ‘Juliet & Romeo’ is a colorful modernization of the Shakespearean taleAndy Farnsworth joins KSL-TV to help audiences decipher #WhatToWatch for the weekend of May 9, 2025. A colorful palette and an earnest attempt at modernizing the classic Shakespearean tale just weren't enough to make Andy like "Juliet & Romeo.” But he did like watching season 2 of "Poker Face" on Peacock, with Natasha Lyonne returning in the clever murder-of-the-week series with an incredible lineup of guest stars in this new season.

Summer movie season unofficially gets underway this week with the release of "Thunderbolts*" from Marvel/Disney. If you like the characters or you just like Marvel movies, you'll probably enjoy this. Another movie, this time on Amazon Prime Video, is "Another Simple Favor" from Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, and director Paul Feig. Hint, this sequel to the crime comedy ‘A Simple Favor' is goofy fun.

Ben Affleck returns as the assassin/accountant on the autism spectrum in “The Accountant 2,” and this follow-up features great chemistry with Jon Bernthal as his brother. Also in theaters is a locally made film about Utah's first Olympic gold medalist, titled “Raising the Bar: The Alma Richards Story,” by our Movie Show friend, Writer/Director T.C. Christensen.

While Andy is not a fan of horror movies, if vampire horror is your thing, "Sinners" might appeal to you. He has to give credit to director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan for making the deservingly R-rated movie into something pretty creative. Also in theaters, a so-so animated movie called "Sneaks" takes your *shoes* on a "Toy Story"-type adventure.

With the Easter holiday just around the corner, Angel Studios has an extremely clever and well-done animated film to prepare for the celebration called "The King of Kings." The family-friendly Christian film follows Charles Dickens as he tells his young son the story of Jesus Christ, and the voice cast in this movie is unbelievable!

Despite not having any experience playing Minecraft, the game, Andy found "A Minecraft Movie" to be funny and fun to watch with his kids--who DID know the game very well. But he might have found the best thing he has seen so far this year with "Bob Trevino Likes It."

Andy actually enjoyed Disney's new "Snow White;" catchy songs, likable characters, and a good message helped him overcome the continuity problems and other issues. This is not to be confused with Producer KellieAnn’s less-than-optimal review. Also in theaters is a new (and weird) movie from Elizabeth Olsen called "The Assessment" that imagines a future dystopia devastated by climate change and the family planning repercussions of that devastation.

On the other hand, Netflix’s "Plankton: The Movie" is probably only enjoyable for fans of SpongeBob SquarePants, and maybe even only the youngest ones.
