Mary Poppins Returns (2018)
So late to the party - but such a lovely film,
I just watched this movie on the Disney channel. For reasons, I had never seen it before. I think it is absolutely enchanting. For context, I was a little girl when the original film came out, and I can still sing several songs from memory, including supercalifragiliticexpialidocious. The one thing that I wish would have been different: as much as I love Angela Landsbury, I wish Julie Andrews had accepted the cameo as the balloon lady. It would have been fitting, and not taken away one bit (IMO) from Emily Blunt's performance. Good gosh - I'm told that this review is too short. So, George Bank (or whoever the father is) is a wimp, and no way do I think that Jane would be serious with the lamplighter. Hoping that this is enough, because it is a magical movie.
Extract (2009)
Giving it an 8 just for Affleck & JK Simmons
I just watched this on one of the Direct TV channels. The plot of this movie doesn't make whole lot of sense, but it was enjoyable. I'm not a big fan of Ben Affleck - I always found him creepy as a romantic lead, and generally just okay as a character actor. This was the kind of light-hearted role I'd never seen him in before, and I thought he did a great job. Of course, JK Simmons s awesome in anything he does. Also, turns out that Jason Bateman has developed into a credible actor. I'd watch it again.
Sweet Pecan Summer (2021)
What a sweet movie!
I am watching this in 2022 because I'm a little bored. I really like this movie. A sweet story thus far, with romantic leads that look like actual people. And, most importantly, not the usual suspects. I'm looking at you, all the male and female leads who are pretty long in the tooth for these kinds of Hallmark movies. Also, loving Aunt Carol.
