Team TLC extra movie night: Another default as I put this on hold back in December. It was our turn and it’s watch it now or wait months again.

“Wonder”

I say, “Everyone deserves a standing ovation at least once.” What a mixture of emotions. Excitement, joy, love, and guilt from a place of failure. Such a WONDERful movie. My eyes are sweating streams.

Thomas says, “I liked the cliches. I went into it with low expectations but I really liked it.”

Lillian says, “Good, suspenseful, liked some of the music, my favorite characters are Summer and Via.”

Lillian says, “ Good, musical, like the music, amazing, suspenseful, and awesome.”

I say, “This was fun to watch! Plus, Thomas was so interested to learn more about P.T. Barnum that he studied more about him during the movie. Love the ending quote, ‘The noblest art is that of making others happy.’

Thomas says, “It was good. I liked it.”

April 7 2018:

Team TLC movie night: My choice – “Leap!” … Put this on hold at the library back in December. Our turn arrived!

I say, “Sweet and heart warming.” Quotes from the movie, “Never give up on your dreams. If you never leap you’ll never know what it’s like to fly. Always follow your heart.”

Thomas says, “It could have been a lot better. The boy died 20 times and the girl broke every bone in her body. Had the same message as many other movies about follow your dreams and never give up.”

Lillian says, “Good, inspirational, liked the music, favorite character is Felicie, like the quote that if you never leap, you’ll never know what it’s like to fly, definitely recommend if you want to be inspired and recommend no matter what.”

March 31 2018:

Team TLC Movie Night: Lillian’s choice – “Coco” …. I put this on hold in December at the library. It was finally our turn!!!

Lillian says, “Good, amazing, great, cool, liked most of the songs, 100% recommend … especially around Halloween … and my favorite character was Mama Coco.”

I say, “Wonderful story of forgiveness, customs, beliefs, passion, and purpose.”

Thomas says, “It could have been better. I liked the idea. By the end of it the music was kind of getting annoying. I think it’s really interesting that if you’re forgotten you die again.”

Team TLC Extra Movie Night – Easter weekend 4 or 5 years ago Thomas and Lillian wanted to watch something with rabbits.

On such short notice this is what I came up with and we’ve watched it every year since! A 6 foot pooka in the form of a rabbit counts right??? Plus, Josephine Hull and James Stewart are phenomenal in this.

Quotes from Elwood P. Dowd (James Stewart) …. “Every day is a perfect day.”

“I always have a wonderful time wherever I am and whoever I’m with.”

“In this world you must be oh so smart or oh so kind. For years I was smart. I recommend kind.”

Thomas says, “I like it a lot and I like watching it every year!”

Lillian skipped watching this year.

Team TLC movie night – My choice: “ How Green Was My Valley”

I say, “Although it did capture the issues of its time, this movie was incredibly heartbreaking.”
