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.
Watched Isle of Dogs tonight. Very fun, original movie. 🎬
We all really enjoyed My Neighbor Totoro on Christmas. Great Studio Ghibli film. 🎬
We watched The Christmas Chronicles tonight and really enjoyed it. It would be a great movie for Christmas Eve! 🎅
We saw Instant Family last night. Fun, family-focused movie. 🍿
Watched Pick of the Litter tonight. Nice movie, particularly for dog lovers. The training guide dogs go through is impressive. 🐕
Family movie night – watched Ferdinand. 🎬 Good movie, but upon learning what bullfighting is the kids thought that was crazy.
Really enjoyed Hearts Beat Loud. Nice story, good music. 🎬
We really enjoyed BlacKkKlansman from Spike Lee. Good story, powerful message. 🎬
Tammy and I went to Juliet, Naked today. Good movie, fun story. 🎬
Time for a drive-in movie at the Elmira Drive-In to see Christopher Robbin. 🎬
Tammy and I went to Sorry To Bother You tonight. Very fun, and original movie. Enjoyed it. 🎬
Introducing Mazie to the 1980’s by watching Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Classic. 🎬
Enjoyed Darkest Hour. 🎬
🎬 The Greatest Showman was a fabulous movie! Really enjoyed the story and the music. Very well done. ★★★★☆
Saw preview for Isle of Dogs — looks fabulous! 🎬
Watched Hacksaw Ridge tonight. Very well done. Battle scenes were a bit much. Tammy and I have now watched all the 2017 Best Picture nominees.
Watched Arthur Christmas again last night with the kids. 🎬 That movie might get a spot on the annual Christmas movie list next to (but lower than) Elf.
