Then vs. Now: Cinderella
Released 03/04/1950 Rated: G I grew up on Disney. I have watched these classics over and over to the point where they’re ingrained in my brain. Wanna know how I know? I chose to mute the “Work Song” (which is … Continue reading

The Last Five Years

Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Released 12/18/2015 Rated: PG-13 This movie wasn’t even halfway through the first time we saw it in theaters, and I leaned over to my husband and went “This is amazing. We are totally reserving this at MovieStop.” (We don’t usually … Continue reading
The Good Dinosaur

Mockingjay
Part 1 Released 11/21/2014 Rated: PG-13 There are a few disadvantages of dividing a single book/story into a two-parter. The first is that Part 1 is pretty much nothing but a build-up to Part 2. Not much happens action-wise, which … Continue reading
