  Still a cute show nearly 50 years after I watched it for the first time.

  Klaus 2019

  ★★★★★ Watched 15 Dec 2024

  Where the hell has this Christmas movie been?  It was delightful and I would never have seen it if my movie loving kid hadn’t accidentally stumbled upon it.  How is it not a classic?  How the fuck did I hear about (and regrettably watch) Christmas with the Kranks BEFORE I knew about this?  I have missed five Christmases of watching this film. I will not miss another!

  Footloose 1984

  ★★★★ Watched 02 Jul 2024

  The story is kind of silly, but I still like it.  I can see where it made Kevin Bacon a star, but did very little for Lori Singer’s career.  Also, I apparently still know 90% of the song  lyrics from the soundtrack which I did own. On a cassette. In 1984.  Shut up.

  I Am: Celine Dion 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 01 Jul 2024

  This was possibly the most gut-wrenching documentary I’ve ever seen. Certainly for biopic documentary films.  My heart is broken for her.
