Team TLC Extra Movie Night – “TALES from EARTHSEA”
A studio ghibli movie we had not seen. In some aspects it was eerily similar to current events. A fever that begins with the animals, spreads to the humans, along with a mysterious imbalance that threatens to destroy the land. 😳
Thomas says, “It was good. I liked it.”
Lillian says, “Good, liked the background music, and my favorite character was Arren’s shadow.”

Team TLC movie night – Lillian’s choice: “The Secret Garden” – the original 1949 version
Lillian says, “Like the story, favorite character is Mary, like the background music, and a favorite story ever since I was a young girl.”
We’ve seen a couple of versions, but had never seen the original. I think this one is my favorite. Love Margaret O’Brien! A true testament to the healing power of nature and love. ❤️❤️❤️

Extra movie night for me “Dark Waters”
Maddening, mind-blowing, disgusting.
I give myself a hard time for how much time and effort I put into researching just about every single thing I buy. From the smallest household object to Thomas’s new bed. I will no longer be so hard on myself. There’s a reason I put all this effort into it.
This movie dramatizes attorney Robert Bilott’s case against DuPont over their contamination of a West Virginia town of unregulated chemicals. The case began in 1998 and still continues. 🤯🤯🤯

Forgot to post this last night …. Extra Movie Night for me and Thomas. “Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein”
Thomas says, “It was good.”
I had never seen this. Slapstick comedy meets Frankenstein, Count Dracula, and The Werewolf. Silly. 😂

Team TLC Extra Movie Night – “Kiki’s Delivery Service” …. This has turned into an October tradition. We’ve seen it many times.
Lillian says, “Good, good for Halloween or any other time, favorite character is Kiki, and I like the background music.”
Thomas says, “It’s my second favorite Studio Gibli movie. Totoro is my favorite.”

Movie Night for me and Thomas – My choice: “Fahrenheit 451” (1966 version)
I recently read Ray Bradbury’s, The Zen of Writing. He wrote about how the book, Fahrenheit 451 came to be, mentioning that a movie was made.
When I searched for it, I found this one and a more recent production (will be watching that one soon, too). I couldn’t find this streaming online, but to my delight, the library had it! This particular DVD has many bonuses. One of which is an interview with Bradbury! Very cool!!
Thomas says, “It was good.”

Team TLC Extra Movie Night – “Hocus Pocus” – An October tradition.
