To continue my list (for those looking for something to watch this Christmas Eve)… PS, my most favorite is all the way at the very bottom! A Christmas Story To be honest, this isn’t my favorite. But I have to add it to the list because: A) I own it. B) My father loves this movie, and I love tradition, apparently, and C) MM actually … Continue reading Keeping the Spirit Going
As soon as it hits December, I start pulling all of the Christmas, or Christmas related, movies off of our shelves and start watching all of them. I have quite the collection now, which means I have something to watch (or listen to, since I’ve seen all of them so many times I could easily quote most of them) nearly every day. And it all … Continue reading For Snowy Days and Cozy Nights
It’s been ridiculously hot in my neck of the woods, so despite the fact that MM loves the warmth, we’ve been lounging in our AC. But that doesn’t mean it hasn’t gotten warm inside anyway, especially in the kitchen. 🙂 I’ve gone a bit crazy with the baking lately. Mostly, I’ve been haunting SeriousEats.com, learning how to make pie crusts and fillings, and other types … Continue reading Baking – In more ways than one!
Watched: July 5, 2019 Kegger Rating: 4 Stars MM Rating: 3 stars Kegger’s Review: I remember watching Mister Rogers a little. Mostly, I remember the opening and closing songs, and the Kingdom of Make Believe. Oh, and the stoplight, too. When I heard this documentary was coming out, I was really interested – I dig that kind of thing, I think. Don’t get me wrong, … Continue reading Won’t You Be My Neighbor?
Watched: July 6, 2019 Kegger Rating: 3 Stars MM Rating: 2 stars Kegger’s Review: I knew a bit of the end of the story of Queen, so I was interested to see what happens at the beginning. And they flew right through it! Which in hindsight was a good thing. During the movie, however, I was wondering – we’re halfway through, and it’s already into … Continue reading Bohemian Rhapsody
MM and I decided to turn the week of Independence Day into a staycation! As a result, I’ve had some time to make things that I usually talk myself out of, due to the amount of time they’d take, and how much I typically like to take it easy when not working. 🙂 (We’ve also been spending our time catching up on our Movie Challenge, … Continue reading Celebrating USA’s Birthday
Watched: July 2, 2019 Kegger Rating: 4 Star MM Rating: 2 Star Kegger’s Review: At no time will sequel be better than the original. Except maybe Ghostbusters 2, Toy Story 3, and Home Alone 2. That’s for MM. I’d been pleasantly surprised with Wreck-It Ralph when it came out – enough nostalgia, silliness and heart was the perfect combination for me. I figured Ralph Breaks … Continue reading Ralph Breaks the Internet
Watched: July 3, 2019 Kegger Rating: 4 Star MM Rating: 4 stars Kegger’s Review: I’ve been a fan of traditional animation for as long as I can remember. I was a bit of a skeptic when it came to computer animation. It wasn’t until Pixar came out with Toy Story that I fell in love with that style. Motion capture wigged me out a little … Continue reading Spider-man: Into the Spider-Verse
Watched: May 27, 2019 Kegger Rating: 3 Stars MM Rating: 3 stars Kegger’s Review: I didn’t have huge hopes for this particular movie – after all, there haven’t been a lot of good, mid-range style movies lately. Most of the hype has been around the big movies: Avengers, Incredibles, Oceans 8, etc. So it’s been hard to focus on the ones that aren’t block busters … Continue reading Tag
Watched: April 20, 2019 Kegger Rating: 4 Star MM Rating: 4 Star Kegger’s Review: While slow in the beginning, I really enjoyed this movie. It took me a while to remember backstory that seemed to float between Guardians of the Galaxy and the main Avengers stories – while I loved that movie (so funny!), I’d never really paid that much attention to the politics behind … Continue reading Captain Marvel
