The Marvels

 I'm very glad my husband asked many times to go to see this movie. Women working together can conquer anything. Or even just working together, men and women, can make anything work. And Ms. Marvel fan-girls out and it's really cute. Captain Marvel has to realize that she must work together with these two other women in order to accomplish all goals, not just her own. And Captain Rambeau has to come to grips with the past and face her future. And yes, this movie has sacrifices. Yes, this movie has a lot of action. And yes, the villain is selfish, but not totally so. She wants to help her people. She blames Captain Marvel. And will kill, actually kill, anyone who gets in her way of revenge. It does take the three Marvels to stop her, but at what cost? I'm glad I saw the tv show "Ms. Marvel" before seeing this because it explains a lot of the dynamic with Kamala's family and how much they love her, but have a different idea of what her powers are for. Very glad I saw "Wandavision" to know the beginnings of Captain Rambeau and where her powers came from. And I'm glad I saw "Captain Marvel" to know how she left her world, her friends, her "niece", and broke her promise. Oh and flerken. So much flerken! I loved the flerken! So glad there are more of them! Lots of comedy in this movie and I always like seeing Sam Jackson in his Fury role. It's a fun movie to watch and it preps the audience for the next chapter in the Marvel cinematic universe....

The Little Mermaid (2023)

 I'm actually glad that I took time to watch this. I am a true and die hard original animated Disney fan, so the soundtrack to the original animated "The Little Mermaid" sticks with me constantly. This movie surprised me. And pretty much set in the Caribbean. That does sound fitting for magical waters. Ursula - ok! Ok Ok I can do with this Ursula! Go Melissa McCarthy! The voice, the cadence, the look, the hand movements - even the bolero! Ok! I can definitely do with this villain! But Flotsam and Jetsam don't talk? Like, at all?  And Awkwafina...she's hysterical as Scuttle. I was apprehensive at first, cause I love the voice and cadence of Buddy Hackett, but Awkwafina adds her own twist to this. And "Scuttlebutt" - that's the song alright!  The queen is lovely! Very new and different addition to this tale. I like her.  I do miss the chef and "Les Poisson" song.  I like that Prince Eric had a song. It's not the best song for him, but I d

Mamma Mia!

 I already knew a lot of the songs in this movie, but this was my first time actually seeing it. So, Meryl Streep's character, Donna, loved three men the same summer she got pregnant. So who's the father? And Sophie wants her father there. But is it Pierce Brosnan, Stellan Skarsgard or Colin Firth? All are really good actors and I had no idea Pierce could sing. This story is a whirlwind for Donna as well as Sophie, even to the point where she gets into an argument with her groom, Sky. Definitely a lot of fun with the two bridesmaids and the two friends of Donna's, who I didn't realize were Christine Baranski and Molly Weasley herself, Julie Walters! Over all this was a fun show and a lot of "whoops" to be sure!

Wonka

 yeah, I really enjoyed this! And not just because it had music! The story line was good, Wonka was not always treated well, and there were 7 villains, not just one! And they all worked together to keep Wonka down! But will Wonka be kept down? He cries a lot in the movie. And deservedly so. And he befriends Noodle, played by Calah Lane, who is doomed to be in the wash house for the rest of her days. There's a comedian down there, an accountant, a quiet girl and an engineer. Good people, just tricked by the Mrs. , played by Olivia Colman. Wonka is definitely a magician of sorts, but he has a love for chocolate. This is so interesting to see where he got his beginnings and the way he makes people feel along the way. And the Oompa Loompas....yes, they have their own island. Yes, they keep to themselves. And yes, if necessary, they are pretty sneaky. Hugh Grant did a great job as a long wolf Oompa-Loompa. Very funny indeed. This is definitely a film for any fan of the original Willy Wo
