Disenchanted

November 21, 2022November 26, 2022 by Victoria Brown, posted in Disney+

If the reboots and sequels from the past few years have annoyed you then just skip this one. Still with me? Essentially this is Enchanted 2, Amy Adams and the rest of the original cast is back showing you what can happen after the “happily ever after.” In her case that’s raising a teenager and … Continue reading Disenchanted

Pinocchio

September 26, 2022September 27, 2022 by Victoria Brown, posted in Disney+

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

West Side Story

March 4, 2022November 26, 2022 by Victoria Brown, posted in Disney+

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

Encanto

January 10, 2022November 26, 2022 by Victoria Brown, posted in Disney+

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

Tick, Tick…Boom!

November 20, 2021November 26, 2022 by Victoria Brown, posted in Netflix

If you’ve ever watched Rent, you will appreciate the origin of this movie. Jonathan Larson is a composer and screenwriter who is just trying to make it. Long before he creates Rent, he comes up with a musical based on his life. TTB is a real and awe-inspiring piece of work. Did I mention that … Continue reading Tick, Tick…Boom!

I love the smell of Oscar noms in the morning! Head over to the home page to download your ballot for the 95th Academy Awards. Yes, Chef! So many times we watch something that will make us love food. Either that or make us thankful we don’t have to work under a crazy chef. Here are my recs for kitchen-placed dramas to feel both of those things: Not really into resolutions but I’m all for thinking of better movie-watching habits! Here are my goals for next year, do you have one? Comment below! So many new shows and seasons out! If you’re not sure what to dive into next, might I suggest: Don’t know what to watch now that White Lotus is over? I’ve got you covered with recs: It's come to my attention via feedback from loyal followers that I've been too nice/ lenient in my review scores, and I agree! Behold, a new rating rubric. Reviews will reflect these new scores in the next few days. The World Series is in full swing! Even if your team isn’t playing, there are plenty of movies to watch to fall in love with America’s pastime. ⚾️🏟️ A little less than three weeks until the new and last season of Netflix’s The Crown (trailer on blog). There have been many different portrayals of the royal family and specifically Diana before and after the deterioration of her and Charles’s marriage. Which one will you be watching to get ready for S5? 👑💔 Wow a year already! Amazing what this little experiment has turned into, thanks for those that follow, read, and interact with my blog. Here’s to year two!
