Mr. Dressup: The Magic of Make-Believe (2023)

Fans of Mr. Dress-Up will love it

[8/10 · 12 September 2023]

I really enjoyed this walk through memory lane about one of my childhood heroes at a recent screening at TIFF. It was fun learning about Mr. Dress-Up's (Ernie Coombs) early career and his friendship with Fred Rogers and all of the behind the scenes info. While it didn't tug at my heartstrings as it did others ( I am a bit of a heart nut to crack), his story will likely touch all of those in Canada that loved him so dearly. We lost a Canadian legend far too soon!

If you didn't get to see it on the big screen as I did, I would recommend that you check it out when it comes to Amazon Prime on October 10th.

BlacKkKlansman (2018)

Not sure if it's a comedy or drama

[7/10 · 21 April 2019]

This was a pretty entertaining movie, but like others have said, based upon the trailer, I thought this would have been more a comedy. While there are funny moments, it's really not. It could have been so much better if it knew what it wanted to be.

No one has said this, but what I found to be the most annoying aspects of the movie was the score. There are times when it was such an odd choice to lay under the dialogue and it actually detracted from the scenes.

I did enjoy the 70s soundtrack and costumes tho.
