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.
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 all went to the new Mean Girls movie tonight. I had seen the 2004 Mean Girls a long time ago but didn’t remember that much of it. The musical interpretation was fun and had good moments.
We watched Here Comes the Boom tonight. Kevin James is a great lead for this and the story has some laughs along the way.
We saw The Boy and the Heron today. The animation was beautiful as you would expect from Studio Ghibli. The story was wild and took many turns. Overall very good and will likely watch it again.
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! 🍿
Tammy and I watched Everything Everywhere All at Once tonight and found it a wild trip. One of the strangest movies we’ve seen, but also somehow still all came together at the end and left me happy to have seen it.
Ferrari
Tammy and I went to see Ferrari tonight. When I saw the preview for this movie we had just been to Italy and visited the Ferrari museums. In the movie there were a few scenes that were definitely shot in Modena and were places that we had been.
The movie was great. The retelling of the Mille Miglia and the horrific crash that killed so many spectators and ended the race was rough. You certainly leave with an appreciation of how dangerous motor racing was back in the early days.
We watched Flamin’ Hot tonight and it was great! Wonderful movie and even better story! 🔥🌶️🍿
Tammy and I went to The Holdovers tonight at the Mann Theatres in Edina. We both enjoyed the movie and particularly liked the retro feel and pace of it. Plus great acting and a good story.
