Falling for Christmas

I love this cheesy ridiculously silly movie. It’s like a manic fever dream. There are no transitions, just bam bam bam. I love Ralph and Alejandra, they definitely steal the show. I really hoping this is the beginning of LILO’s redemption.

Don’t go into this expecting a masterpiece - you’ll be miserable. But if you go into this with low expectations and just hope for Christmas fun, you’ll enjoy the journey.

I hope they do a sequel. I hope it’s more cheesy, more ridiculous, and the silliest. The perfect Christmas escape.

Leo

I woulda liked this A LOT more if it wasn’t a musical. I love musicals but this being a musical took something from it, in my opinion.

The story was cute. Leo is adorable.

Just be prepared for a LOT of singing.

Five Nights at Freddy's

As someone who works with kids, everything I know about FNAF is against my own will.

The movie was silly. When it tried to be scary it was laugh at loud funny.

It was both too fast and too slow. Clearly I am not the indended audience - which makes sense.

BUT. Matthew Lillard. :clap_tone1::clap_tone1::clap_tone1::clap_tone1: He is so underrated. What a brilliant actor. Love him.

Downton Abbey: A New Era

I swear I would watch this show until their future generations are in the year 3000, I am so invested.

Love the journey. The set. The wardrobe. The acting. The laughs. The absolutely heartbreak. I love it all.

If You Were the Last

This movie is super unrealistic with cheesy sets and goofy production.

And i LOVED it.

The acting was great and I believed the chemistry of the two main characters.

Full disclosure, my husband walked out on it half way through with clear instructions of “don’t tell me how it ends because I don’t care,” so it’s clearly not for everyone.

But the movie sure was for me!

Turning Red

I enjoyed the animation a lot, and the cultural diversity. However, this fell flat for me. Enjoyable but not worth the hype.

The Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker

A documentary about an extremely unhealthy individual who continues to be exploited by the media.

Space Jam: A New Legacy

With all the cameos and Easter eggs, I don’t understand the bad reviews. It was silly, but it was a LOONEY TUNES movie! It was laugh out loud funny. Was LeBron a good actor? Of course not, but be honest - was MJ? Don’t come into this thinking it’s a sequel or expecting it to bring you the same feelings it did when you watched the original when you were 7 years old. And don’t go into it thinking it is about coding (with Acme physics you’re questioning the fact the coding story line isn’t accurate, yeah ok). But definitely DEFINITELY look into the background and enjoy all those WB characters. This movie made me nostalgic. Not for the original space jam, but for cartoons and movies of my youth. 9/10, a fun escape.

Ricky Stanicky

Not even John Cena could save this terrible bag of flaming dog poo.

Deplorable characters with absolutely no redeeming qualities (except Wes). Barely any comedic parts. Just a terrible movie from start to finish.

I love stupid, absurd comedies. But this was complete and utter rubbish.

Oppenheimer

Incredible cast. Absolutely phenomenal casting.

I must not the intended audience of this movie… or maybe everyone else is just saying they like this to sound smart?

Dashing Through the Snow

Cute movie! I really enjoyed the adult actors... it was fun. The little girl was way over the top and annoyed me (sorry if that’s mean, but I would have wanted that warning!). All in all, a decent Christmas movie with a fantastic soundtrack.

Love Again

This wasn’t a particularly good movie. It wasn’t the worst? Sam Heughan is a beautiful man, even though his character was cringey.

I like Celine Dion, but can I tell you… this movie laid it on a THICK about Rene. She even had a line about how their relationship was just professional until she won Eurovision… it sounded VERY deliberate to distract from the fact that he was a groomer.

Besides them at grossness, the movie was fine? I won’t watch again. But I won’t judge you if you do!

Red, White & Royal Blue

Huge book fan here! But also, a realist when it comes to a book adaptions.

I love these adaption! Was it perfect? Heck no. Did they leave a lot out? You betcha. Was the book better? Times a billion. But they got a lot right - including at least capturing some of the butterflies the book gave me!

I don’t know how they did it, but the casting of Prince Henry was PERFECT for me. I don’t know this actor but he was exactly who I pictured when reading. I also liked Alex. They seemed to have good chemistry and were easy on the eyes.

But listen - the movie totally underutilized the side characters. It’s criminal how much they underutilized them. Please read the book and you’ll see what I mean. Go on, I’ll wait.

Beautiful movie for an absolutely brilliant and wonderful book.

Also did you see what book Alex was reading on the hammock? That’s another you should read (wondering if they’ll be adapting that next??)

Wish

Maybe it’s my fault for having expectations. Not even really high ones. But expectations nonetheless.

The animation was neat (the background was particularly neat in my opinion). There were two catchy songs that I already forgot.

I really liked the end. As in the credits - the animation there was fun. And they did tie it to other movies/universes and I really thought that was clever.

Not clever enough to want to rewatch.

Dream Scenario

What a weird, weird, weird movie. It had some funny parts but it was just confusing. Not in a mind f type of way. More like a “well… what was the point of that?”

Nic Cage played the part of a cringey old man very well!

I thought maybe this movie was a social commentary on… something? Hive mind, I guess? Cancel culture, perhaps? But it had no meaning, no explanation, no resolution.

It was just an awkward movie that never quite grew into itself. Weird, weird, weird.

Poor Things

I really loved this movie. Which surprised me because I expected to not like it. But I really did enjoy it.

The acting was really great. Emma Stone and William Defoe blew it out the water. She definitely deserved that Oscar.

The effects were interesting. I did enjoy the contrasts from black/white to vibrant color. I thought it was impressively well done.

The sex scenes were plentiful but they played a part in the plot. It wasn’t gratuitous. Well, maybe someone can argue it was at least a bit. But it was definitely a plot piece. And probably some social commentary but I just want to use movies as an escapism, so read another review for that.

All in all, a brilliant movie. Fantastic performances. Impressive. If you’re not a minor and not ashamed of the human body/natural impulses, give it a go.

Wonka

I did not have high expectations. The OG movies terrified me as a child. And I am not obsessed with Timothee like the majority of people I know. Plus I have to be in the mood for musicals…

That being said, what a magical journey.

This movie was spectacular from start to finish. The music was great, but not overwhelmingly present. The story line fascinating. Absolutely enjoyed every minute. Perfect casting. I have l no complaints whatsoever.

I loved this movie. By far the best movie I’ve seen in 2024. I really hope they continue this series. I can’t wait to see how Timothee’s Willy becomes Gene Wilder’s Wonka.

Leave the World Behind

Well. That was something, I guess.

First off, the cinematography… that was a choice. It tried to be edgy and fancy and it just gave me a headache.

The story… it had a lot of options here. I didn’t know where they were going with it. Honestly I am still a little confused at what the director/writer created, but alas here we are.

The characters were mostly insufferable. But that means the acting was good, right?

All in all, I will never watch this movie again.

:asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol:WARNING: keep your sound remote next to you at all times. In addition to extremely loud soundtrack during the beginning, there is a high pitch noise during the movie that is excruciating.:asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol::asterisk_symbol:

Barbie

Put off seeing this movie because of all the hype. Then I bought it and have watched it several times since.

Hilarious. Poignant. Fanciful. Real.

Truly beyond my wildest expectations.

Magic Mike's Last Dance

I couldn’t finish this. It was so bad. Beyond boring and just awful. I enjoyed the first movie and the second was entertaining enough, but this one… yikes. I’d rather get a Pap smear than sit through another minute.

Daisy Jones & the Six

I really enjoyed the book (the audiobook was stellar). But man, this show. My heart is aching now that it’s over. I love the soundtrack. Sam and Riley - wow. I absolutely loved this entire journey and once I stop crying I’ll likely rewatch

White Noise

This was an odd movie - felt like 4 movie plots, and I didn’t really know what was happening. However! The acting was fantastic, and the dancing scene during credits was my favorite. I have no idea what it had to do with the movie, but I loved it. And so you don’t have to second guess your eyes or IMDb it, yes, that’s André 3000.

Blue's Big City Adventure

I watched this for nostalgia purposes, and it did not disappoint. It was great to see Steve again. Absolutely a gem of a movie. Feel good message, silly fun, and unexpected cameos. If you’ve ever appreciated Blue’s Clues in any form, I recommend it.

The Hip Hop Nutcracker

I don’t know why this has such low ratings! This was such a fun way to spend 45 minutes. Exceptionally talented cast and I am so thankful with the increased representation. I haven’t seen The Nutcracker since I was a young kid, but I didn’t remember it being this entertaining.

My only complaint is the flashes of light in the movie gave me a bit of a headache. I’m sure there was a morning in the beginning but I must’ve missed it. Still worth it. This definitely will be added to my yearly holiday watch list!

Terrible. From start to finish. Terrible. Copypasta rip-off with just boring plot. Also, I hate ASMR whispering and that’s an unfortunate part of this, too. So avoid if that makes you nauseated.

My Best Friend's Exorcism

I read the book - I found it really scary but fun. The book, of course, is better - although the dog was brutally murdered in the book, but luckily not in the film. Overall, the movie is pretty boring, and lands flat.

It’s a decent movie to have on the background while you do something else. It’s not terrible but it sure isn’t good. Great soundtrack though.

Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers

Fantastic movie! More nostalgia than Space Jam offered but with a much, much MUCH better plot. Hilarious and heartwarming. My favorite part is they addressed all the weird parts… except one. And you’ll know what I’m talking about when you watch it… Regardless, this is a must see for all elder millennials.

Muppets Haunted Mansion

Very fun and easy watch. Quick muppets and haunted mansion fix. Lots of laughs and so much from the ride. I agree that kermit’s voice isn’t up to par, but I’ll add this to my Halloween yearly movie binge. A definite watch if you love the muppets and the Haunted Mansion ride. Enjoy!

American Assassin

I have a high tolerance for boring movies. Especially when the movie has a handsome lead. But this was too much even for me.

The first few minutes were shocking! More violent than I expected but set the tone for an action packed revenge movie. Then it slowly went downhill to the point I stopped watching. My husband, who does not fancy Dyan O’Brien but DOES love action movies lasted a bit longer than me.

DNF. Don’t even care to google the end. It was boring.
