Toy Story 5

 You know - this wasn't too bad. It's not my favorite in the series, but it really wasn't bad. And it starred Jessie, voiced by Joan Cusack, which, I had no idea! I could have sworn it was someone else cause it doesn't sound like Joan! But it was! Jessie and Bullseye are the ones that must find a way to save the day - from Tech! Tech is taking over playtime! Tech has entered Bonnie's world and if she wants to make friends she must use Tech! So how do they save playtime? Are there others out there that have been discarded because of Tech? And will Bonnie's parents be concerned about Tech and Bonnie's friends? This movie touches on so much really: how the internet and children are intwined. How children should trust their parents when things are going on with Tech. But also how Tech can be useful. Also - that in a pinch, old friends can come in handy. To me, the voices sound older but no less fun: Tom Hanks as Woody, Wallace Shawn as Rex, Ernie Hudson as Comba...

Coyote vs Acme

 Holy cow - this was good! I didn't think this movie would be this good because I wasn't really versed with the human actor, Will Forte, or any of his work. But yeah - Wile E. Coyote and his facial expressions are the best! For years Wile E. has been chasing the Roadrunner. Years. And one day, he sees a commercial by the attorney Kevin Avery. Kevin isn't a really successful attorney and his collegue, Buddy Crane, played by John Cena, really IS a successful attorney. These two butt heads all the time and it leaves Kevin as a big joke. But Wile E. comes into Kevin's office and doesn't leave until Kevin agrees to represent him in a suit against Acme. Now me? I figured Wile E. had enough funds or revolving credit or something with Acme anyways. My husband and I agreed that, by now, he could have ordered himself some food and forgot about the Roadrunner. But nope - here we are. In court. Fighting Acme. And not only does Kevin and his team, which includes his extremely sm...

Pollyanna (1960)

 I could have sworn my husband had seen this movie before. I really did. But no - so we both saw this for the first time. I was surprised how interested in the characters my husband was. I, myself, followed the story and plot very well and then was taken aback when I saw Agnes Morehead with a scrunched up face and pouting about things! I looked at my husband and said "OMG it's Endora!!!!" For those that are not familiar, Endora was the mother of Samantha on "Bewitched". Good tv show. Went through some Darrens. But at any rate, Pollyanna (played by Hayley Mills) is a girl, whose parents died and now she must live with her mother's sister, Polly, played by Jane Wyman (beautiful actress!). Polly rules a small town - no one does a move without her permission. Except the church - the church does not take sides in such matters. I really took to the maids: Nancy (played by Nancy Olson), Tillie (played by Reta Shaw - wonderful actress, did a great job in "The G...
