    The home invasion sequence makes this a masterpiece in its self.

    Watched on the same day as Emilia Perez, if it was nominated for 13 Oscar’s then Big Mommas House should be winning 14 oscars. 

    In all seriousness as a toddler I was to taken to the cinema to see this by accident as we thought it was Toy Story 🤷🏼‍♂️
    So have had a passionate love for this movie ever since.

    Had to rewatch as writing an essay on this for uni and all I could think about is how similar it is to the current situation in Gaza. To exhausted  to get political on the subject but it’s insane just how much suffering we cause to each other over pointless conflict again and again throughout history without learning. Reading about how this has been screened at the pentagon etc and what they took out of it was that torture is an effective method of getting information really just sums up how nothing is ever going to change. Very sad watch indeed.

    Every year older I get this just hits a little bit harder and I understand more and more about people and life and the choices they make. Definitely need to watch more James Stewart films this year, he can draw a tear out of any audience. 

    At the cinema on Christmas Eve with Erin, life’s not too bad.
