Movies
Quick reactions to films we’ve watched as a family—ranging from the bonkers fun of Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning to indie darlings, animated favorites and rewatching Into the Wild with my daughter. I note what resonated (or didn’t) and who joined us.
Since our flight was cancelled we decided to watch a campy movie — Anaconda to the rescue.
We saw Hoppers today and it was really good. Our kids are not so kid-like anymore, but a bunch of our nieces and nephews were going so we joined and it was a wonderful story and movie. 🍿
We watched Knives Out: Glass Onion tonight. Fit the pattern of the first one. Was filmed during Covid and it is so odd to see masks in a movie at the beginning.
Watched Bruce Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere today and it was great. I’m also a huge fan of his Nebraska album.
We enjoyed watching Finch tonight. The story was surprisingly touching given that it is just one character, Finch, with a dog and a robot (two robots actually). 🍿
We watched Knives Out tonight, again. Tyler hadn’t seen it and now that there are two sequels we’re going to watch those together. I didn’t remember that much after seven years so was still fun to watch again. 🍿
We watched Fountain of Youth tonight. Fun movie with plenty of wild action scenes. Tammy also made incredible popcorn to go with it. 🍿
We all saw Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning tonight. It was absolutely bonkers but still a fun story and the good guys win in the end! 🍿
We wrapped up our weekend by watching Dog with some delicious Calico Popcorn made with ghee. Great movie and touching story. 🍿
Tammy and I saw The Ballad of Wallis Island tonight at Edina 4. The movie was delightful. Tim Key was particularly good in a very restrained way. Great story.
