Here is the second half of my catch-up (continued from here) on movies I've seen recently with the guys of my house - my husband and my two sons (22 and 16) - mainly in the superhero and adventure genres. Oscar nominations in these genres are less common, although Star Wars: The Last Jedi received four … Continue reading Movies with the Guys – Catch-up Post #2

I, Tonya (2017)
I cried last night at the dark comedy, I, Tonya. I laughed a bit too, but it is one of the saddest movies I've seen in a long time. My younger son, on the other hand, found it really funny, but with dark parts too. Both of us agreed that this is a really good movie. (Full … Continue reading I, Tonya (2017)

Three Movies on the Small Screen
Home Again (2017): Reese Witherspoon has been in some fun romantic comedies over the years, so I was looking forward to a new one. Unfortunately, Home Again is not good at all. It starts with Witherspoon's voice-over narration rife with vocal fry, which is really annoying in a 40-year-old woman playing a 40-year-old woman. (Here is … Continue reading Three Movies on the Small Screen

Mother! (2017)
After watching the movie It, my younger son and I followed up with another new horror by going to see my pick, the Darren Aronofsky film Mother! (While rated R in the US, it has a 14A rating in BC.) It looked very intriguing based on the trailer, and I've been really impressed with Jennifer Lawrence's past work in other movies … Continue reading Mother! (2017)
“It” (2017)
My younger son and I decided to go and see some horror flicks -- the genre that is all the rage this year. His pick to see was It, the latest incarnation of the Stephen King book by the same name. (Note that despite having an R rating in the US, in BC it has … Continue reading “It” (2017)
