Movies

These days, I find myself more captivated by my daughter’s perspectives on children’s movies rather than my own. Since she is the intended audience for these films, it makes sense that they resonate with her more. She is a remarkably insightful and expressive young girl. In 2023, when she was just seven years old, I found our post-movie discussions to be significantly more engaging than the movies themselves. This sparked my interest in writing about them, starting with Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie, and moving on to all the 2024 children’s films we watched together (alongside her younger sister), such as Despicable Me 4, Wicked, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3.

In 2019, the movie OUATIH was released in cinemas. Since then, six years have passed, and Quentin Tarantino has no immediate plans for his final project that he had mentioned. He’s penned some books during this time, but the tenth film remains absent. As per Tarantino, it won’t be appearing on screens anytime soon.

As a movie enthusiast, I’ve noticed an intriguing evolution in our perception of humor over time. What once tickled the funny bones of our ancestors might now appear tacky or offensive to contemporary sensibilities. In fact, many of the comedies that were blockbusters in previous eras would likely struggle to find an audience today, and some may never even be made due to their questionable content. It’s interesting because these films were profitable, with a few even becoming massive successes. Here’s a list of 20 such movies that might surprise you.

Lately, I’ve acquired several DVDs, Blu-ray discs, and 4K films; for a project I’m working on, I require the special features that aren’t accessible via streaming or online platforms. Consequently, my TV area is getting quite cluttered with numerous small black and blue plastic cases. When my youngest child noticed them stacked up recently, she inquired, “What are those objects?

It’s not clear what, how, or why they’re getting together again, but it seems they are planning a reunion of some sort. Meg Ryan recently posted on Instagram an up-to-date photo of herself with Billy Crystal from their movie “When Harry Met Sally,” hinting at an iconic project that they will soon share with us.

Initially, the feedback on this week’s film premiere on Paramount+, following an extended production phase, isn’t entirely consistent. Some articles offer a faint praise, such as The Verge describing it as “quite enjoyable.” /Film even went so far as to call Section 31 “B-grade cinema… in a good way,” which might be considered a roundabout compliment if somewhat indirect.
