Toy Story 4 (2019)

I went to see it because I was a very big fan of the last movie, and wanted to see/hear the new characters. I heard that Mel Brooks, Carol Burnett, Carl Reiner, and Betty White were lending their voices, and that seemed pretty cool. But honestly their cameos were so short that it was a little disappointing. I did like the adventure story and rescue that took place in the antique store. And some of the new toys were cool (a pair of carnival dolls are voiced by the comic duo of Key and Peele and they are funny).

There was an extended sequence having to do with trash cans, but none of the characters brought up the scary incinerator experience in the last movie -- probably too traumatic for anyone to rehash. I liked the Randy Newman song "I Won't Let You Throw Yourself Away" that played during the sequence. I'd recommend it, but I didn't think it was a good as the last one.

The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming! (1966)

Zany comedy about a group of Russian sailors - led by Alan Arkin -  who find themselves stranded on a small, tight-knit New England island town. Not able to speak the language, they try to steal a boat to get off of the island hoping not to encounter any of the locals. Eventually rumors spread all over the island about invaders and everyone panics ("It's all over!" predicts one paranoid resident).

The Russians disguise themselves as as locals

There are some funny sight gags and comedic bits involving the paranoid townsfolk. One bit has Jonathan Winters at the kitchen table with his 8 little children prepping the family about a possible attack. There's a town drunk that's funny, and an old woman who gets tied to a chair while her near-sighted husband hardly notices.

But there are some softer moments, too, especially the scenes involving one of the Russians falling in love with a young woman.  Carl Reiner and Eva Marie Saint are the only two people who know why the Russians are there and try to explain it to everyone else. Another voice of reason is Brian Keith, who plays the police chief. Also starring Theodore Bikel.

It's an enjoyable satire about paranoia in the days before cable news, the internet, smart phones phones, and Twitter.
