Date: 2009, Length: 1h 48m (MINI REVIEW)
Genre: Comedy, Romance
TMDB Rating: 71 %
Watched It On: 2/23/2024
My Comments: √ Funny, entertaining. But has scenes that intrude on morality. Amazon rental. (PS, HS, Niagara).
ENJOYMENT RATING: 3.5 stars
Clean Rating: 3
Genre: Fantasy
TMDB Rating: 65%
Our Review: ✔ Watched it on 3-7-2024 (PS, HS in Niagara). Long awaited sequel to the orginal great classic. About 54 years later! Wonderful to see Dick Van Dyke in the new film! This is an excellent family movie; and being from Disney, it’s almost a surprise that it lacks their usual woke foolishness. The music is Poppins-style, but not quite as memorable as that of the original. But this is a worthy sequel. The movie continues the sense of enchantment, make-believe, and childhood wonder of the original. Mary Poppins is slightly more human and vulnerable in this version. But she too helps to put things right in a family that needs quite a bit of help and guidance. Excellent performances by:
For us, this movie is a fresh delight in the tradition of the classic. Enjoyment rating: 4 stars.
Clean Review: From a clean standpoint, there are no obvious issues. It’s a family film with a happy, positive, fantasy of childhood make-believe and wonder. An excellent movie with a Clean Rating of 5 (the max).
TMDB: Mary Poppins returns to the Banks family and helps them evade grave dangers by taking them on magical, musical adventures.

“The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known.” – Psalm 19:1-2 NLT
Andromeda is not only visually beautiful (the word “stunning” is altogether appropriate), it is vast in distance and size. It also has some anomalies that astronomers are baffled about. They are so baffled, they are tempted to say that only a higher being could have created this galaxy and its satellite galaxies. The galaxy group could not even exist if it were dependent solely on random natural development. More below!
Apparent magnitude: 3.4. M31 is located approx. 2.5 million light years from earth, making it the nearest galaxy to our own Milky Way. It contains approximately 1 trillion stars, more than double the number in our own galaxy (with 200 to 400 Billion). M31 is 220,000 light years across.
| Wikipedia | Takes you to their article on Andromeda. |
| Herschel | Herschel Telescope’s page (includes textual data, downloads, visualizations, great images, and more. |
| Hubble | Hubble’s High Def panoramic view. The sharpest image ever taken of Andromeda. |
| Subaru 8.2 meter | A stunning photograph taken with Japan’s Subaru Telescope with their high-resolution imaging camera, the Hyper-Suprime Cam (HSC). Very different from the others! The HSC will take a census of every galaxy it can find, and will record galaxy shapes for a study on how galiaxies bend light through their gravitational pull. |
| Keck Observatory | Astronomers using the cluster of Keck Observatory telescopes on Mauna Kea were astounded to find a group of dwarf galaxies moving in unison around Andromeda. The small galaxies lie on the same plane, similar to the planets of the Solar System. Unexpectedly, they orbit the Andromeda galaxy en masse and in unison, presenting a serious challenge to their ideas for the formation and origin of all galaxies*. |
* Note on Keck discovery: This baffles astronomers. “This was completely unexpected – the chance of this happening randomly is next to nothing.” – Professor Lewis. And … PhD student, Anthony Conn, whose research proved key to this study said, “It is very exciting for my work to reveal such a strange structure. It has left us scratching our heads as to what it means.”
“The chance of this happening randomly is next to nothing”
Students of the bible don’t need to scratch their heads. The universe is by Divine design, created for God’s own pleasure and glory, and for our enjoyment.
“It has left us scratching our heads.”
“There have been similar claims of an extensive plane of dwarf galaxies about our own Milky Way Galaxy, with some claiming that the existence of such strange structures points to a failing in our understanding of the fundamental nature of the Universe,” states the original press release.
“A failing in our understanding of the fundamental nature of the Universe.
A mystery to some. For believers it is not a mystery but further evidence of the order God has built into the Cosmos.

M51 is an impressive space object to behold. It displays Divine design in it’s beauty, structure, and the puzzles that it presents to astronomers. A Spitzer Space telescope infrared image reveals some puzzles. There are a large number of thin strands of red emission between the arms of the galaxy. Unlike the beady appearance of the dust seen in the arms themselves, these features are spoke-like thin and regular. They’re abundant in the gaps all over the face of the galaxy.
In addition, there is a contrast in the distribution of dust and stars between the main galaxy and its faint companion galaxy. While the spiral is rich in brilliant dust, as seen in infrared, its blue companion shows little infrared emission and contains what astronomers consider to be older stars. The spectacular whirlpool design of M51 and an apparent collision with its neighbor galaxy are breathtaking. This is truly a wonder in God’s creation. See the Spitzer infrared view of the Whirlpool Galaxy here. And see infrared video near bottom of this post.
There is also what appears very much the shape of a cross at the galaxy’s nucleus. Perhaps by design of the One Who created all things? … See photo at bottom of this post.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. All things were created through him, and apart from him not one thing was created that has been created. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. That light shines in the darkness, and yet the darkness did not overcome it. – John 1:1-5 CSB
Brightness: Magnitude 8.4
Location: Constellation of Canes Venatici, 3.5 degrees southeast of Alkaid, the star at the end of the Big Dipper’s handle.
Distance: 28 to 30 million light years
Viewing: Winter and Spring
The Whirlpool Galaxy has a smaller companion: NGC 5195, which is interacting with it. The two galaxies can be seen with binoculars under very dark skies.
M51 is the dominant member of a small group of galaxies that include M63 (Sunflower), NGC 5023, and NGC 5229.
Note the dust in the shape of a cross at the center of the galaxy. This strange object is probably within a central black hole surrounded by a ring of dust. Another ring crosses the first one on a different axis, giving the appearance of a cross at the galaxy’s nucleus. Random? Or by design?
It is about 35% the size of the Milky Way, contains about 160 billion stars, and is about 43,000 light years across.

PG 06/12/1992 (US) Comedy, Romance 1h 42m
Expanded review: √ Very funny, feel-good, and it holds up. Almost a “screwball” in the classic sense. Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn carry this movie with powerful performances in this comedy. Very enjoyable to watch. Possibly not suitable for younger children, as it presents dishonesty in a positive light, and it has a romp in bed by an unmarried couple early in the movie. For mature audiences, you’ll be able to handle it and enjoy the fiction. (by PS, HS, Niagara).
Genre: Fantasy
TMDB Rating: 76%
Our Review: ✔ Watched it on 3-4-2024 approximately (PS, HS in Niagara). One of the greatest classics of all time. A perfect movie in every way. A true family movie. Profound and rousing music, great story, and cinematography. The movie creates a sense of magic (in the sense of enchantment, make-believe, and childhood wonder). Mary Poppins puts things right in a disfunctional family in which the parents are uninvolved with the kids. The nanny shows that anything is possible and makes life delightful and safe for the children. And it ends happily. We like that kind of conclusion to a movie! For HS and me, it’s always been one of our favorite movies. The first time we saw it was as kids, and we’ve watched it many time since… Enjoyment rating: 5 stars.
Clean Review: From a clean standpoint, there are no obvious issues whatsoever, unless you want to go down the path of wondering if she’s a witch. We have pondered that over the years, but in the end have concluded that this is just a positive portrayal of make-believe and childhood wonder. An excellent movie with a Clean Rating of 5 (the max).
TMDB: Mr Banks is looking for a nanny for his two mischievous children and comes across Mary Poppins, an angelic nanny. She not only brings a change in their lives but also spreads happiness.
