Movie Night: White Christmas
December 9 2017:
Team TLC movie night: Thomas’ choice – “White Christmas”
Thomas says, “I like it and like watching it every year.”
Lillian says, “Good, musical, favorite part is the end, like the songs, 100% recommend, very Christmasy, and very festive.”
I say, “Incredibly heartwarming. And, why do heartwarming movies sometimes bring forth inspiration and sometimes bring forth sadness and loneliness?” Hmmmm …… I’m sure I know why. These are simply thoughts to share.
Movie Night: It Happened on Fifth Avenue

Team TLC movie night: Thomas’ choice: “It Happened on Fifth Avenue”
Thomas says, “It was good, very good, like the music, like the storyline, and like watching it every year at this time.”
Lillian says, “Good, my favorite part was when they sang around the Christmas tree, my favorite character is Trudy, amazing, 100% recommend, and suspenseful.”
I say, “We’ve made this a yearly tradition at this time of year. Beautiful movie about discovering the true meaning of life and sharing loving kindness.” Love the theme song, “It’s a wonderful, wonderful feeling.”
Movie Night: The Polar Express
December 1 2017:
Team TLC extra movie night: Thomas’ choice – “The Polar Express”
Thomas says: “Extremely good, like watching it every year, never gets old, and I like the music.”
I say, … from the movie, “The bell still rings for all who believe.” And from me, “Perceive the life you want to live, and live the life you perceive.”
Lillian says, “Good, 100% recommended for Christmas, like all the songs, favorite part is when they see the Northern Lights, and my favorite character is the girl who leads.”
Movie Night: Florence Foster Jenkins
November 11 2017:
Team TLC movie night: My choice – “Florence Foster Jenkins”
I say, “People may say I can’t sing, but they’ll never say I didn’t sing.” -Florence Foster Jenkins …. The song she recorded sold the most they’d ever sold up to that point. The movie definitely felt kind of slow at some points. Yet, interesting being that it was based on true events.
Thomas says, “It could have been better.”
Lillian says, “Good, musical, funny, good plot and story, and awesome.”
Movie Night: Beauty and the Beast
November 4 2017:
Team TLC movie night: Lillian’s choice – “Beauty and the Beast” – I put this on hold months ago. It had over 100 holds. It was finally our turn.
Lillian says, “Good, musical, favorite character is Belle, like all of the songs, like the plot, makes more sense if you watch the animated version first, and liked the scenery.”
I say, “Of course I love movies with an “oddball” who stays true to her heart no matter what. Listening to and living from ones heart is the most courageous Way to live. It is truly the only Way to Live.” xoxoxo
Thomas says, “Liked Cogswurth and they wanted to make a lot money when they made this movie.”
Movie Night: The Canterville Ghost

Team TLC movie night: Thomas’ choice – “The Canterville Ghost”
Thomas says, “It was a good movie, it’s a classic, and some of the music is good.”
Lillian says, “Good, my favorite part is the dancing scene, I recommend 100%, great for Halloween, and my favorite character is the six-year-old castle owner.”
I say, “Traditional October movie for us, so much enjoy watching this with Thomas and Lillian, and I’m so glad I discovered this one years ago while scanning the movie shelf at the library.”

Movie Night: Hidden Figures
October 22 2017:
Team TLC extra movie night: My choice – “Hidden Figures” – I put this on hold months ago. There were over 100 holds. Finally my turn!!
I say, “Here at NASA, we all pee the same color. What an incredibly humbling and powerful story.” The music, the women …. and the peaceful, patience of those amazing women ….. Love the one who took her case to court and won … Fine example of the heart and mind working together for good!! xoxo
Thomas says, “It was good. I liked all of it. I like the music. I liked the story.”
Lillian says, “Good, great story, my favorite part is when the ladies dance around in the kitchen, liked the music, and I 100% recommend it.”
Movie Night: Ghost Busters
October 21 2017:
Team TLC movie night – Lillian’s choice: “Ghostbusters” (1984 version)
Lillian says, “Good, awesome, suspenseful, liked the music, great for Halloween, and my favorite part was the end.”
I say, “I had been waiting for Thomas and Lillian to get older before watching this one. So this was their first time seeing it …. and it was perfect timing.”
Thomas says, “The sales for Stay-puft must have risen, it was good, and I liked the music. I wonder if they were accused of sponsored content.”
