  Moana 2 2024

  ★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Honestly enjoyed the story, themes, & set pieces of this one a great deal more than the first one.  

  Didn’t care for the music though. Disney execs tried recreating LMM nachos but only had Velveeta cheese on hand!!

  Spanglish 2004

  ★★★ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  Paz Vega acted downnnn. Adam Sandler as the romantic lead here is an odd choice but works! Pacing of this is all over the place, but I really liked how lived in each of the characters were in this ensemble with the one notable exception being Deborah, who feels like a cartoon character and is so 2-dimensionally written as “Adam Sandler’s b**ch wife”. To her credit Tea Leoni plays her with a lot of depth compared to how she was written!
