For those skeptical, I was too. Making a sequel of a classic doesn't always pan out. However, this new installment is fun and much more uplifting than the original. The Sanderson sisters (original cast don't worry) return to Salem and do all they can to survive until sunrise...again. It has new songs and has the … Continue reading Hocus Pocus 2
Side note if you’re a parent of small children, there might be some language used at Pleasure Island that you won’t want being repeated also some scenes could be scary for kids. I didn’t want to watch this but my love of Tom Hanks and having the day off coerced me into pressing play. First … Continue reading Pinocchio
Alright here me out, are there too many Thor movies? I’m not one to harp on Marvel but are they overstaying their welcome? Overall I liked this one, it was funny and there was action but there unfortunately wasn’t better than Ragnarok. If you want a superhero fix, you’ll enjoy seeing how Chris Hemsworth takes … Continue reading Thor: Love and Thunder

Teen angst in the early 2000s, finally Disney is listening to us! Mei Lee is 13 and is about to go through changes. Much to her parents dismay, not the normal girl changes. According to her ancestry, every woman when they turn of age can turn into a red panda when feeling extreme emotion. For … Continue reading Turning Red
I loved the original and was against this remake from the beginning. I couldn't believe that Steve Spielberg would defile the amazing work of terribly accented Natalie Wood and Rita Moreno performances that I grew up with. However, since this got so many great reviews and nominations, I gave it a whirl. I will admit … Continue reading West Side Story

Have you ever felt like you don’t belong? Like half of Disney movies, the main character doesn’t feel like she belongs in her family. She has a great outlook on how special she is without having magical powers. Despite the borderline bullying done by her family, this one was super cute. This is the year … Continue reading Encanto
Zero expectations going in, walked out in love. Between the plot, message, and script, this was an A+ movie. Marvel whips outs hits, it's known, but this one was especially nice because unless you read the comics you didn't know anything about this character. A strong Asian male lead is exactly what we need right … Continue reading Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
First of all I love Ryan Reynolds, but he was upstaged by Jodie Comer. I knew going in it was about a game character that discovers he's in a video game. I didn't know that it was going to unexpectedly be a rom-com! Typical Reynolds style, there's humor and snark at every corner but also … Continue reading Free Guy
