A League of Their Own (2022)
Adulting means new takes on old classics can be fab
Who didn't love the original movie? When you watch it now, as an adult you realize just how much was left unsaid. This show is great. They're not trying to cast every single character the same. They're capturing the essence. I love that women aren't just the wife that someone kisses. They're all the principles. I think the show is great.
To everyone crying cuz it's too "woke" for them. Grow up. Y'all wanna live in a world with your head in the dirt? Be my guest. But you can't just pretend folks don't exist.
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018)
Great family film
I'm not comparing this to anything else. This isn't some grand Oscar winning movie. However, as a re-imagined take on the traditional nutcracker story I found it to be enjoyable. So did the crew of 7 adults and 10 kids who saw it. The acting was great, the costumes inspiring, so much so that all the kids and adults want to "be that for Halloween".
Not every film needs to be Oscar worthy to be considered worth seeing. I was thrilled to see Misty Copeland dancing. I loved how the music was woven in. As someone who has seen "The Nutcracker" ballet countless times I was intrigued by how the different aspects of the original story were sprinkled throughout. This movie is great for families. Kids about 5 & up will be fine. There's a few parts they may need to hold a hand, and then they'll be great.
Some people like to rip apart films that most families will absolutely enjoy.
