The Matrix Resurrections
To find out if his reality is a physical or mental construct, Mr. Anderson, aka Neo (Keanu Reeves), will have to choose to follow the white rabbit once more. If he's learned anything, it's that choice, while an illusion, is still the only way out of, or into, the Matrix. Neo already knows what he has to do, but what he doesn't yet know is that the Matrix is stronger, more secure and far more dangerous than ever before. The 4th Matrix is not a reboot of the franchise but a nod to the original that gives fans a sense of closure that the ending lacked. A witty retread and great B grade Sci-Fi suspense thriller.

The Unforgivable (Netflix)
Ruth Slater, a woman released from prison after serving a sentence for a violent crime and attempts to re-enter society. She must try to put her life back together again in a world that refuses to forgive her past. It's wonderful to see an actress like Sandra Bullock do yet another fantastic movie playing a character which is so different from all of the others she has done before. Not only does it tell the story of a woman from prison and her life ahead of her as well as behind but also the term of love and family and what it all truly means to unconditional love.
