The Flash (2003)

 So - it's different. Barry goes back in time and instead of being himself back then, he meets himself back then. And has to team up with himself to save the universe. Rather, more than one universe. And meets Batman. The Michael Keaton Batman. Who still looks amazing. I noticed in this time line and in this universe, Bruce Wayne is the one that helps the Flash with his technology. Whereas in the Marvel time line, it's Iron Man who helps the Flash. I think what was said before should be said for any super hero or person or Doctor or anyone who goes back in time: even stepping on a blade of grass will change everything. Small things that you change in the past will change the future. It will take some getting used to the new Supergirl. I'm so used to the CW's Supergirl. This one is strong but the charm is not there. And Zod?! Wow. And there are lessons here. Batman teaches us that practice makes perfect. Practice with all his toys makes sure that he stays alive. The Flash teaches us that even though someone may look like us, we are each different in our own ways. The flashbacks of old TV shows and such remind us that we've come a long way with DC. I have heard a lot of YouTube videos talk a bunch about the opening sequence of events and the baby in the microwave and such, but the movie is so much more than that. It really is saving the babies and the building and the people and I get that, but that sets the scene for the whole movie.

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
