Genie (2023)
Lighthearted and fun!
Loves this! It's not Oscar material but it certainly is a nice Christmas movie. Love the little plot twist at the end!
It's definitely better than most Hallmark Christmas films. The music was fun as well. Paapa Essiedu was delightful and it was nice to see Melissa McCarthy do something light hearted and funny that kids could watch as well.
I also liked that it wasn't your typical 'romance' Christmas movie. It was something more practical and realistic, something most couples with a family and jobs can relate to. Sit back and Watch it with an open mind and accept it for the fun that it is! Don't go looking for more than it is.
Dave Chappelle: The Closer (2021)
Genius
I have watched all of his Netflix series, and the closer was just that- it tied it all up with a funny and real bow.
If you actually took the time to LISTEN to his routine you would find it moving and funny. He calls SOCIETY out - and it's incredibly intelligent work. Until Netflix, I really hadn't given Mr Chapelle's work any thought. I'm probably not his target audience. I'm a white , middle aged woman who grew up not really knowing much about race issues or anything else. Listening to his work made me laugh but it also made me think. And that's good! Thank you to Dave Chapelle for putting this out there. You are a true artist, and I believe, humanitarian.
Justin Bieber: Our World (2021)
Should have been pushed as a concert NOT documentary
I was really hoping it would be a documentary, with more behind the scenes and introspection. The trailer gave you about all you were going to get of the documentary portion this film had to offer. Lots of music, which was nice.. just not what I was hong for. Instead, I saw what looked like a very sad/ lonely man, performing and trying t show the world he is older wiser and happier.
Mulan (2020)
Not for young children
This Disney classic has a new spin- they geared it to older children and adults. It still had some of the Disney feel of the original movie yet it was a unique stand alone and was in my opinion a very good movie. It made women the Center of the plot for the good side and the bad side and it didn't make the story about how a woman needs a man. She came of age and chose her own path. Wonderful job! You simply can't compare it to the original- it's not the same movie. Mulan was always my favourite Disney movie and this one did not disappoint. There are a few minor things I would have changed as far as music went - but minor in the grand scheme of things. All and all I loved the movie.
