The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
How Matrix 2 should've been
Matrix 2 and 3 went down the literal rabbit hole for me and I struggled to maintain interested.
For me this is a proper sequel. Fresh idea and some cool concepts still with the love story and the Matrix godmode skills.
I didn't think it was boring or confusing - my 8 and 11 year old came with me and they loved it.
The Pa Boys (2014)
Loved it
Been meaning to watch this for ages.
I resonate with the lead actor. Trying to navigate through his disconnection with his taha Maaori in a Paakehaa world. Blaming others for this when it is his own stuff. Harsh and so real - but beautiful.
I know heaps of 'Tau' in my life. So deeply connected to who they are and I feel whakamaa around them. They get this awkwardness from me when it isn't theirs to own.
Really interesting and well acted. Love seeing my culture on display and feelings as a Maaori on TV outside of kapahaka.
Thanks
Boomerang (1992)
My wife and I have always loved this
Can't believe some of the comments. It doesn't deserve to be in the 5s
This is a classic and one that my wife and I come back to all the time. So so funny.
Definitely one of my favourites
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019)
What a genuine amazing legacy Mr Rogers has left for us
Being a Kiwi - I never had the privilege of knowing who Mr Rogers was until today. But as I googled and looked him up on YouTube, I am struck by his genuine nature and true conviction. It makes me think about how I can improve my relationship with my 3 children.
The best quote I came across that wasn't from this movie from Mr Rogers was this...
"If we just ensure that we communicate across all mediums that feelings are mentionable and manageable, we will solve a lot of mental health issues in this world. Anything mentionable is manageable."
How relevant these words are for today.
