Hoppers

 Ok, this one was cute. Go Disney for coming up with something cute and strange and a villain for villain's sake! I mean, this guy...this guy was evil. And the motivation was truly selfish and I love it! Mabel loves animals as a little girl. But she wants to set them free which not all the adults agree with. Poor Mabel visits with her grandmother a lot as a little girl, especially when she gets into trouble. Her grandmother introduces her to a pond area that has a lot of creatures. Mabel learns to love these creatures and how they coexist. As she grows up, Mabel takes her love a little far: she is bound and determined to keep the little pond area free of man. One man, in particular, wants to destroy the area and put in a connecting highway. This little town of Beaverton must have a beaver to help all the animals coexist in this area. Mabel is so ferocious with stopping this guy that she tries to enlist the help of her professors at college. But to her surprise, her professors have been working on an experiment that will eventually help Mabel help the animals she loves. Great voice talent by Piper Curda as Mabel, Jon Hamm as Mayor Jerry and Meryl Streep as the Insect Queen. But wow...wowowowowow to the evil of Dave Franco as Titus. I'm impressed. And yes, I will be watching this one again...just to take villain notes....

Wake Up, Dead Man, A Knives Out Mystery

 Wow! Wow and wow! This was my 2nd favorite next to the original "Knives Out". A priest is re-assigned to a place he never could have been prepared for: the devil is alive and well in the church, on the grounds, in the people and in the plans. Josh Brolin plays Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, the local head priest and "God" to most folks. They don't jump unless he says "how high." There are only a select number of parishioners that stick with his word, as the rest of the congregation is slowly run out by his sermons. But there's a deeper mystery here and Josh O'Connor, who plays Jud Duplenticy, wasn't supposed to be there. A sermon happens, the Monsignor falls, and there is a murder in the church in front of witnesses. So who did it? Or was it more than one person? Or did one person make it look like it was more than one person? So much is going on in this story and then...cops show up. Geraldine Scott, played by Mila Kunis, calls up a professio...

Holidate

 hehehhe ok, I honestly just put this movie on to have something in the background while I was cooking dinner. Lo and behold, my husband sat down on the futon and started watching it and laughing uncontrollably. This girl has a mom trying to get her into a relationship, any relationship. And she's got an Aunt who loves any male at all. The leading lady, Emma Roberts, who plays Sloane, runs into Luke Bracey, who plays Jackson Pieretti, with one of the sexiest Aussie accents ever. These two agree to be each other's dates every holiday. And I mean EVERY holiday in the U.S. But Jackson states he's not interested in her, not seriously, and so Sloane goes along with it. But what happens when some else is interested in Sloane? And what happens when Jackson sleeps with someone else? Does it matter? They aren't in a relationship. They're in an agreement. There is so much fun profanity in this movie and so many fun little scenes, I was pleasantly surprised. Aunt Susan, played...

Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F

 Just on a whim, I decided to put this movie on as we ate dinner. Within 10 minutes my husband and I were laughing. The music was good, reminiscent of the 80s "Beverly Hills Cop" soundtrack, the cameos were fantastic, everyone a little older now, and there was a lot of excitement and adventure. The beginning of the movie shows Axel in Chicago, being himself and getting into trouble. But he always comes through for the boys in blue. But over in California, someone gets into trouble, someone is threatened, and his friend, Billy, calls Axel to let him know. Usually, Axel will just give advice or listen or both, but when it's his daughter, Axel heads out west again. But who is threatening his daughter? And why? And will the trio get back together again to solve a new mystery? And can they all stay alive? It was a great trip down memory lane and a wonderful introduction to new characters as well. Those who enjoyed the first movies will love seeing Eddie Murphy, John Ashton, Ju...
