Spirited (2022)
Great Holiday Movie
This is a fantastic movie. I love A Christmas Carol - I teach it to my students every year - and this movie is a fun, unique modern adaptation. I was a bit disappointed by the bad language, as I was thinking that this would have been a great version to show my students, but the movie is very positive and has a great message. Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds were lovely together. I acknowledge some reviewers' complaints that there are too many songs, but I did enjoy them all - especially the dancing. Most importantly, the movie left me feeling uplifted at the end, which is what holiday movies are for, right!?
Mind Over Murder (2022)
Definitely worth watching
I have never reviewed before and am writing this positive review to counteract the effects of the premature negative reviews. This documentary was fascinating and horrifying. I really recommend giving it a chance. Most of the negative reviews I read, whatever their complaint, were written after only two or three episodes. Stick with it! This doc was thoughtfully constructed to reveal all the various elements of the story at the exact right time. Above all, I am thoroughly impressed with the director's success at getting so many meaningful interviews from all points of view at various stages of the project. What fabulous work!
