Movies!

 Today is a feast day!

I should be writing about this beautiful feast,

because it is special to my heart 

for so many reasons.

I have so much to say and so many posts in my head,

waiting to come out 

that

 sometimes it is just easier to 

do a movie review 

or two.

So, for now, here you go:

 Tom and I watched this movie over this past weekend 

and we really liked this one..

(I know, it surprised us too)

It's a kind of quirky,
 yet serious movie about mental illness

and really how this particular family deals with it,

or does not deal with it in order to deal.

I liked that it was real and raw. 

Sorry if I'm confusing you, it makes sense to me.

I know there are some kiddos that read this blog and 

I'd have to say this is a movie for your parents, not you.

(lots of swearing and a particular scene that is referred to often)

check out Commonsensemedia.org for more info

I know why this movie was nominated for so many awards,

it was good. 

This movie was pretty good (not great, but pretty good)

It is an alien movie, but not a scary alien movie,

which made this seem like I was watching an ABC Family movie

or show, in fact, I think they could easily make this into regular show,

but they solved everything within the movie

so I suppose there goes the show.

Common Sense Media gives it a 13 and up review

I might move that to 15 or 16

The almost end of the movie got a little long, 

but you need to watch til the end to be get that great ending

that I always like.

(although, I admit they could have done that about 15 minutes before that point)

Overall review, worth watching.
