Movies, Film and My Opinion

 OMG The music! Like, totally! The music! I enjoyed this movie so much for the music! And I liked the other two Trolls movies that I've seen, but this? Yeah, the music. It's got a story, too. Branch and Poppy travel with friends to save Branch's brother, Floyd, from the famous duo Velvet and Veneer. They are using Floyd's power of talent to be famous. They, themselves, have no talent, and they kidnapped Floyd and are using him until they can capture all the Trolls from the boyband, BroZone. The adventures these guys go through is just great. They have Viva, John Dory, Spruce, Clay and Tiny Diamond. Crimp is an interesting character, and unfortunately you don't get to see a lot of her. She is the assistant to Velvet and Veneer, but she needs a new job. But, yeah, the music - very catchy. Very clear. Very fun to bop your head to. Go NSYNC on this one! I, personally, will be finding this album on Spotify and listening for a while. 

 I finally saw all of "Swingers" and just didn't see a plot. Not really. It's two guys who hang out with a bunch of other guys. And one guy, Mike, is a comedian and he's depressed over this girl and his guy friends are trying to get him out in the world and ask other girls on dates. And they hit Vegas. And they have all kinds of adventures with some really good music. And the only time I saw swing dancing was later in the movie, closer to the end. I get the idea of guys fighting one night and later on playing video games in the same apartment and drinking and having a blast and what not, I get that. I understand Mike's emotions of missing this woman so much as to hold up in his apartment for days going through an old box of memories (I just wonder what he's doing for money all that time). But over all this is not my best movie to watch. I like that Happy is in it (Jon Favreau) and silly Vince Vaughn and a guy named Sue (Patrick Van Horn) and Ron Livingston

 I need to watch it again. My husband was laughing so much during this movie, I just have to watch it again. He is Italian/German and his grandmother on his mom's side spoke little English. And he connected to the family invasiveness of the Greeks in this movie. He could relate: and he had stories to tell me himself! But this movie - I love Nia Vardalos as Toula. Her character has grown as a mother, as a sister, as a daughter. For the love of her father that has passed, she heads off to Greece for a family reunion and a vacation that she desperately needs. Her mother fades in and out of remembering who is around her, but her long term memory brings tears to the audience. There's a lot less of John Corbett as Ian in this movie. The focus is on their daughter, Paris, and her want to keep a secret from her parents, and her want to keep a distance from the love of her life. This movie introduced the mayor, Victory, played by Melina Kotselou, and she did a great job as a quirky inst

 I saw this movie and wanted more. I wanted more of the magical world. I wanted more adventure. I wanted higher stakes. I just wanted - more. A young black artist, Aren, fails to sell his yarn art. Bartender, Roger, notices this young man has a heart and invites him into the world of magic and friendship. Black people from all over the U.S. are in this magical community and they are taught to make sure white people are ok. Because if white people are ok, then black people can be ok. Aren decides to join this magical community and they get him a job. A really NICE job, next to his client: Jason. Aren needs to make sure Jason is ok. Work wise and life wise. And then there comes a woman, Lizzie. Aren met her first, and is smitten. But talking to Jason, Jason has had a crush on Lizzie for a while. Lizzie gets along better with Aren than she does Jason, but if Aren makes a move - then ALL Black people in the U.S. lose their magical powers. And if the leader, Dede, finds out about it, then t

 What a cute little movie! The animation is in line with the Minons and Gru and I loved it. The ducks are a wonderful little family that live in a pond. The dad doesn't want them to travel, to move, everything they need is in the pond. Why go anywhere else? And one day, migrating ducks show up and chit chat and invite them to head south for the winter with them. To Jamaica. Not Jamaica, NY, but Jamaica, the country. A long flight from where they live but it's such an adventure! And they have an enemy: a chef! They didn't mean to have an enemy, but he just happened to be there. So many human things are in the bird world and it's just hysterical! This is worth a watch and Akwafina is a wonderful partner for the ducks as well as Danny DaVito!

 Wow! What a play on words! Not only is Colt Seavers, played by Ryan Gosling, a stunt man, a Fall Guy, but also in the movie he takes the blame for a murder he didn't commit! A Fall Guy! Well done! And for many movies and through his career he works with Jody, played by Emily Blunt, and they crush on each other but does anything ever happen? Is it regret for them both? Will they re-unite to save a movie? So much going on in this movie and so much action within action! The Action on the set and the action in the real world mix! And the best side kick I've seen in a long time, Dan Tucker, played by Winston Duke. He's amazing and on the side of right the entire movie! My husband is a big fan of the original "The Fall Guy" series and totally was in to the movie the entire time. He felt a lot of nostalgia with it and the movie played on all the old stuff. It's a good movie to watch if you ever saw the old series or know anything about the behind the scenes of makin
