The Whale

This was a hard movie to watch. Initially, it was hard to find sympathy for Charlie, the main character. He is a slob, and you feel a bit of disgust. But as you learn more about him, you will love him and root for him. Recommended. 3/5 stars.

Watcher (2022 film)

This was a good movie. Many reviews online said that this was a pretty basic and standard plot, but I still enjoyed it. Maika Monroe’s acting was amazing. Kept wondering if she was just being paranoid or if there was real danger. 3/5.

Maid (Netflix)

https://www.netflix.com/title/81166770 Maid on Netflix is a gut-wrenching, emotional show about a woman escaping an abusive relationship with her kids. She has very little money and no social support. As a parent, it was really hard to watch. You will cry at times. Highly recommended. 5/5

Mo (Netflix show)

The first episode of Mo was so annoying that it took several months to finish it. But eventually the show gets interesting. Mo is so annoying that it is very hard to love him initially.

Here, at least, he had to deal with the consequences of his stupidity. ...

Hunger (2023)

I saw this movie on Netflix. It started off strong but turns into a disappointment at the end. The movie is about a street food cook who is invited to join a team of top chefs. SPOILERS WARNING: The girl wanted to be the best, and she even ended up opening her own restaurant. But in the end, she just wanted to go back to being a street food cook. I felt disappointed because the message seemed to be that the pressure of being the best is not for everyone. Her family, instead of supporting her, guilted her and wanted her to quit. There was even a weird cooking competition at a party. And the message of the movie seemed to be: don’t be your best. ...

Sonic 3

This weekend, I saw Sonic 3 with my son. I have never gotten into Sonic movies, so this was the first Sonic movie I saw. It was a really enjoyable movie, and Ayden really loved it as well. From a parent’s perspective, I liked that it used some common phrases such as “make good choices,” which should help reinforce these messages.
