A Star in My Universe
Back to School with Monster High
Our kids aren’t the only ones going back to school. The girls from Monster High are back, as well. Clawdeen Wolf, Draculaura, and Frankie Stein are sophomores this year and face a new threat along with new classes and new friends. Sounds about right for a school with monster in the name, right?
Surprised by Love
Sometimes love. whether it comes for or from something can be frustrating. In fact, correction, that is more often than not the case. This can be true whether it is a passion for a subject studied, a romance blossoming, or even an understanding of something greater than oneself, a newfound, or refound belief in God.
After Death - More than a Movie
That is the focus of the intriguing film, “After Death” in theaters now. It is a documentary wherein actual survivors of near-death experiences share their true stories of what they saw and lived in those moments on the other side.
It’s Not Business, Only Personal
I am loathe to share anything about the show other than it was my FAVORITE current show. I hated it ending.
My only consolation is that “Succession: The Complete Fourth & Final Season” will also be available to purchase on DVD on September 12. “Succession: The Fourth and Final Season” and “Succession: The Complete Series” are available now to purchase Digitally from Amazon Prime Video, AppleTV, Google Play, Vudu, and more.
Let the “Sound of Freedom” Ring
On this holiday, freedom is a word we will all be saying a lot. How often do we contemplate the word? Not just the larger macro-definition, but the true daily sense of what it means to be free?
The film, “Sound of Freedom” opening in theaters today, looks at that very subject. There are people living among us that are not free. Their lives are not their own. their choices are not their own. Their bodies are not their own. And in all too many cases, they are precious children.
Fun from X,Y, to Z
In the new film, The Super Mario Bros Movie, we follow Mario and his brother Luigi through an adventure that reflects all three of the generations. From bumping heads and eating mushrooms to carts and Princess Peach, Gens X, Y, and Z will enjoy seeing our heroes traverse through all these worlds fighting a lovesick Bowser along the way.
How D & D Got Its Groove Back
Yep, Dungeons & Dragons is having a moment. Yes, that D & D. The one known to big sisters and their nerdy siblings everywhere.
A Very Big Mermaid
With all the lush beauty of a Pixar and all the action detail of Marvel, this Little Mermaid is a must ticket purchase. It is possibly the most beautiful film I have seen.
Ready for a Ride?
Hallmark certainly threw us for a flip this season with its new drama, Ride. Yes, a drama. And, yes, that Hallmark Channel. The one we know and love, and sometimes groan at, for those comfy, cozy, always working out in the end romance Hallmark.
A Perfect Spot for a Review
My sweet nephew and niece have entered the world of film review. They have always been opinionated and now they are sharing them with the world. I think their call name should be the Two A’s.
A Gift in the Garden
Lenny and Lion are tasked with setting up a theatre for the Christmas pageant. As you can imagine, things don’t go smoothly, but the lesson they learn isn’t about how better to manage a project. Instead, they learn that it is never too late for a heart to be changed by the Christmas spirit.
It’s a Strange World
It’s a Strange World. Well, we knew that one. Of course, as an 80’s girl, I can’t help but hear the melancholic refrain of “Mad World” by Tears for Fears. This candy-colored world is a Disney one, however, so there is no long-standing melancholy.
Just fun. Strange fun, as to be expected.
A Journey Home
Sam is a tiny kitten that we follow from a pocket in an overcoat of a woman living on the streets to life on a farm. Throughout we hear from all of the colorful characters along the way, learning each’s perspective of the world that Max was entering.
Power of Joy
I could write so much more here. In fact, I took copious notes and just hit delete over three full paragraphs. Words would not do this film justice. You simply must see it.
It’s a big film masquerading as a small one.
Find it.
See it.
Paul’s Promise
Everybody on earth is doing what they can to help put out Paul’s fire, but it takes a broken promise to his Momma that finally changes everything. This film at its core is about redemption.
The Lights are Still Shining
“A Show about Anthem Lights” provides a cheeky, self-aware follow of the real band. Not only safe for family viewing, but fun for all.
Feel the Thunder
This is a faith-based drama, but without preaching. As Jacob finds his strength, so does the viewer. I chose “Faith” as my word for 2022 and reminders like Redemption help my resolve just as I hope to strengthen another along my path.
The Tiger Rising - A Review
Some cages aren’s made of chains and locks. Some hold hearts and feelings. It takes a lot of bravery to break those bonds. This tale shares how a real tiger in a cage helps two children break free of their metaphorical bonds.
