Remarkably Bright Creatures (Movie Review)
This is a feel good film with a happy ending, that also features an octopus. I thought it was incredibly well done.
The Other Bennett Sister (Movie Review)
We enjoyed this sequel to Pride and Prejudice this last weekend. It tells the story of the last of the Bennett sisters…
The Devil Wears Prada 2 (Movie Review)
Andy (the writer played by the likable Anne Hathaway), who at the end of the first movie left the fashion magazine to write real news, returns to the magazine, this time to write features. She and Miranda Priestly (played by the incomparable Meryl Streep) face down several crises together.
Project Hail Mary (Movie Review)
We just saw this in the movie theater and I absolutely loved it. A lot of people I know have recommended the book as well as the movie, and I’m glad we saw it out on the big screen.
Nonnas (Movie Review)
I love movies about food, family, breaking limitations, second chances, and dreams coming true. This movie is all that, plus it is based on a true story. We really enjoyed it, and I thought you might too.
Lessons in Chemistry (Movie Review)
I always appreciate a female character owning her own intrinsic worth, and forging ahead regardless of impediments society (or life) puts in her way.
Sister Act 1 & 2 (Movie Review)
If you are looking for a feel-good comedy, you might enjoy watching this too.
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (Movie Review)
This film delivers its seasonal message without being sanctimonious, preachy, or overly sweet.
The Need to Grow (Movie Review)
It is an environmental film with some solutions to offer, so more hopeful than most on this topic.
Perfect Days (Movie Review)
He is living in the present moment, feeling it and even enjoying it, no matter what it is.
Christmas in Connecticut (Movie Review)
The black and white film from 1945 was silly and improbable, ridiculous and fun.
Mercury Pictures Presents (Book Review & New Vocabulary)
Read it if you are interested in the movie business in the 30’s or in a completely different take on WWII which feels relevant to the issues of today.
Monologue from the Barbie Movie
It turns out in fact that not only are you doing everything wrong, but also everything is your fault.
The Chosen (Movie Review)
I can’t say enough good things about this crowd-funded video series of Jesus’ life.
