Taking Care of Business (1990)
Really fun movie!
This is an oldie but goodie! I've seen this many times...I enjoy it that much. Jim Belushi is very funny in this movie ("Check out those buns!") as he pretends to be Spencer Barnes. Spencer, on the other hand is very annoying at first, but learns what is truly important in life.
One of my favorite characters is Debbie. Poor Debbie, so nice, trying to be helpful, and Spencer just dumps on her. She does put him in his place after a while and the way he makes it up to her is very sweet.
And the two horrible bosses get theirs in the end (Diane's secretary clapping enthusiastically at the end is awesome...and something too many of us wish we could experience).
It's a fun movie with happy endings all around!
The Chosen (2017)
Wow!!!
I'm almost done with season 1 and am blown away by how good this series is! The acting is superb, and the storytelling is captivating. It's true to the Gospel but really makes Jesus, the people and the place and time come alive. Something we Christians, so many years from when Jesus walked the earth, and so steeped in what our particular denominations have had to say about him, have forgotten is that Jesus is fully God AND fully man. This show brings that balance, and it is so refreshing...and so necessary for us to see that.
There's so many poignant scenes. So far my favorites are Jesus healing Mary Magdalen, the crippled shepherd holding the baby Jesus, and Matthew eating Shabbat with his dog. But the whole series so far is so well done!
