    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.

  • Casablanca

    Casablanca

    1943, 1h 42m


    Genre: Classics, Drama
    TMDB Rating: 82%

    My Comments: √ 03-31-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). A masterpiece. Not because it’s iconic, which it is. But because it’s that good. Impeccably interwoven story of war, the plight/fight for freedom, romance, heartbreak, and fate.

    TMDB: “In Casablanca, Morocco in December 1941, a cynical American expatriate meets a former lover, with unforeseen complications.”

    Michael Curtiz Director

    TMDB Rating: 73%

    My Comments: √ Watched it many times, including on 03-19-2023 at our place in Niagara, and again on 05-04-2024, (PS, HS). One of our all time favorite classics (in our top 3 or 4); and perhaps in the TOP TWO of Fred and Ginger movies. A cute musical romance in that 1930’s style. A well-crafted classic that just feels right from one end to the other. The misunderstanding of who Fred’s character really is brings about a lot of entertainment. Fred and Ginger have amazing chemistry in this film and their dancing together is sublime. Enjoyment rating: 4.5 star.

    IMDB Rating: 6.9

    Watched It On: Blu-Ray

    My Comments: Very clean, no issues, except a bit of language. Excellent movie. Exciting. ENJOYMENT RATING: I give it 5 stars.
    Dove Review: This much-awaited origin story is successful in its empowering, inclusive, boundary-breaking mission. Captain Marvel–Carol Danvers in her “real life”–is clearly the most powerful Marvel hero. When we left Avengers: Infinity War, in the devastating finale of that film Nick Fury sends the distress message to Captain Marvel and our hearts were set a-flutter. Captain Marvel is Dove-Approved for Ages 12+.
