Clueless

 This is one of my baby sister's favorite movies of all time so I had to check this out. Lots of recognizable faces: Paul Rudd, Alicia Silverstone, Brittany Murphy, Donald Faison and Wallace Shawn. So Cher has a teenage life. A rich teenage life. And her dad makes sure that she wants for nothing but there are rules and consequences for her actions. Cher, herself, starts helping people or saving them because they don't know any better. But in this story, she tries to save her friend, Tai, but Tai is really doing well on her own. And the entire time, Cher is missing out on having someone in her life to love. She has some very interesting moments with her bestie, Dionne, and it just reminds me of similar, but less flush with money ways, we had to deal with things in high school. Cher really is kinda clueless about basic things in life but she's slowing learning and slowly getting into her own way. It's a cute movie, and the small thing of drug interaction did lose me a bit, but it wasn't the main focus of the story, so that was cool. My baby sister has good taste.

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

The American Society of Magical Negroes

 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

The Fall Guy

 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
