Very interesting, sad, and eye opening about the reality of how the system sometimes fails those who rely on it. A true story which keeps you guessing, unsure of what’s true along the way, but helps you to see the challenges on both sides of a story like this.

Air Bud (1997) - Rated 27 Mar 2024

There’s nothing I hate more than talking dog movies and Airbud takes the cake. The only worse movie is its sequel, Airbuddies. The filming tricks to try and poorly fool you into thinking a dog can play basketball, and the awful voice acting is vomit-inducing. What ridiculousness took place when this movie idea was being pitched?? This is awful, even for children. So so stupid. How is it possible to make one of the most naturally lovable creatures cringy?

Imagine That (2009) - Rated 27 Mar 2024

A charming family movie. It’s lacking the depth of what real adult life entails, as it’s made for children, but a sweet reminder for parents to reprioritize their parenting and career focuses. Eddie Murphy’s role as the father gets a little suspended from reality when he finds his way fully to his daughter’s imaginative play world and doesn’t care what a fool he makes of himself to other adults and at his workplace. The underlying message of the movie is sweet if you can suspend reality.

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) - Rated 27 Mar 2024

Horrifying and visually intense and intriguing. Such an incredible story that gets you thinking about the underlying message. This is a must see, but I do not recommend if you can’t handle disturbing imagery.

Lupin (2021) - Rated 27 Mar 2024

A very interesting take on crime/mystery drama. A little slow at times but otherwise very interesting. Lupin is a solid, likable and interesting character. The French style is refreshing and unique.

Bridesmaids (2011) - Rated 27 Mar 2024

One of my favorite movies. This movie is hilarious. It’s raunchy and inappropriate at times, so if you don’t like that, it’s not for you, but the raunchiness is not over the top in my opinion. Lovable characters and lots of hilarious actresses. Nice to see a female-led comedy that rivals the humor of the male-led Judd Apatow comedies. The dress shop scene is amazing!

I haven’t seen this movie in a long time, but I remember I really loved it when I saw it. Is cute, fairly light hearted and charming. Great actors and great chemistry between them on screen. Interesting story concept.

Superhero Movie (2008) - Rated 27 Mar 2024

If you like these over the top spoof movies, this one is pretty great. Yes it’s very cheesy. Yes it’s not all funny. But there are some scenes I still talk about that make my cry laughing. Not for everyone but pretty funny if this is your kind of movie.
