Angelina Ballerina: The Next Steps (2008)
An amazing, fun, artistic show for kids and toddlers
Wow, my daughter is in love with this show. The singing, dancing, kind characters, and the segments showcasing real dancers and artists, make this show so UNIQUE and special. I can't think of a show like it. My toddler learned to dance a lot from this show and dances during the intro. Everyone loves it. She's so happy watching it. The show is positive and creative, no ulterior agenda rather than bringing fun, the arts, and positivity. I'm a dancer myself so I really enjoy the segments with the live dancers and musicians as it really teaches the children different art forms, everything from Irish step dancing to hip hop. Any negativity about this show is questionable to me because it's just educational and positive.
The Woman in the Window (2021)
Some great elements but the script was lacking
This film has a great concept. The protagonist, Amy Adams, plays her character excellently and a lot is intriguing about her characterization in general - her being an agoraphobic child psychologist who is not working, the fact that her condition is bad enough that she sees another psychologist regularly and has him on speed dial, the fact that her attractive tenant goes out of his way to do things for her. I thought he had worked something out with her husband but that's not the case. She "speaks with her husband" regularly and he is supportive. We figure out later that this isn't the reality. We wonder why her family isn't with her. There's a great set up for a great movie. Right away, I was drawn in. Once the boy across the street comes, Ethan, with a candle in the rain, I knew he was an antagonist and hiding something. There is no way this was a major twist. No teen is that interested in having a conversation with a shut in, I doubt he found her attractive considering the circumstances, and that he was so curious about her seemed unrealistic. No, he was setting something up clearly. Then when "Jane" (Julianne Moore) came into the picture, I thought this whole thing was a set up. Why would she be so curious about Anna Fox, for no reason? After watching the movie there is absolutely no explanation about why she would ever want to visit the woman. Then, why does Mr. Russell ask if his wife had been there? Did he know she was pretending to be his wife Jane Russell? Makes no sense! So many holes! Such a good set up for a let down. David downstairs from Massachusetts? It's too convenient. There is no reason for it except for convenience. Then, why was "Jane" across the street, in the house, for so long? Unrealistic. Why wouldn't she tell Anna the truth about who she is? Again, there really is no reason to hide the truth and someone looking for compassion wouldn't pretend to be someone else's wife when she wasn't, especially because Anna could easily see the next day another woman there and find out the truth. And, "Jane" randomly has an affair with David while staying across the street to make amends with her son? And became obsessed with David? Again, there is no set up for this and it makes little sense. The fact that Ethan is really the bad guy is interesting but so much more could have been done with it. The end with the detectives and with everyone confessing was too easy and convenient. It was as if a whole act of the movie was skipped. Also, why would Ethan, after all these years, never harm the real Jane? And, why did he bother with his father's assistant? No real explanation. Another thing, why was his father abusive? He doesn't get a pass for that. So many unanswered questions and set up fails. The writer either rushed this or they just think people will watch whatever and get lazy. I'm sorry but the script could have been amazing. The director and producer should have done more with this.
Greater (2016)
Excellent film
It's an excellent film beginning to end, inspiring and a remarkable story about hard work and being a great person. Great faith messages as well. Great acting. Anyone who doesn't give this movie 10 stars is a hater and doesn't understand the message.
