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.
The Sheep Detective
We went to The Sheep Detectives tonight at Willow Creek and thought it was fabulous. Tyler and I were at another movie and saw the preview of this and he thought right away that Tammy would like it so we landed it close to Mother’s Day and brought her Mom with us as well. The premise sounds silly but we were skeptical until we saw the Rotten Tomatoes ratings.
In reality it is an incredibly touching story, wrapped into a “whodunnit”, with sheep playing many of the principal characters. I think the sheep make the story land even better.
We all loved it. Highly recommended!
We watched Eternity tonight and it was a great movie. A very interesting concept and a touching story. Recommended. 🍿
Tyler and I went to Super Mario Galaxy and thought it was a lot of fun! 🍿
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. 🍿
