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.
We watched Jumanji: The Next Level tonight — almost a year after we watched Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. It was a fun family movie night. Tyler likes Dwayne Johnson movies. 🍿
Tammy and I finally watched Oppenheimer tonight. Incredible movie. Everything about it pulled me in.🍿
Tyler and I watched TRON: Legacy again tonight. It is a great movie and made me think it would be fun to watch in the Vision Pro in 3D. 🍿
We saw The Boys in the Boat at the Edina Theatre tonight and thought it was a great movie. It was a great underdog story told very well. The theatre was nearly full too — most people I’ve seen in a movie since before the pandemic! Highly recommended! 🍿
We watched Flamin’ Hot tonight and it was great! Wonderful movie and even better story! 🔥🌶️🍿
Watched Elf tonight! Tradition of ours every year right after Thanksgiving. This viewing was one of my favorites. What a great movie! 🎬🎄
We had a fun time watching Red Notice tonight. Fairly ridiculous and a fun time. 🍿
We saw Spirited Away at Willow Creek Theater today as part of Ghibli Festival. First time we had seen it and enjoyed it a lot. 🍿
We saw Gran Turismo this afternoon. I would go to this movie just to watch the racing scenes all over again. The “hybrid” view of the racing overlayed with video game effects was great. Definitely a movie to see on the big screen with the volume up! And based on a true story! 🍿
We all went to Barbie tonight and it blew right past my already high expectations. It was a fun movie while still covering important topics. Plus, the 2001: A Space Odyssey sequence in the beginning was just delightful! Highly recommended. 🍿
