    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:

    • Emily Blunt as Mary Poppins
    • Lin-Manuel Miranda as Jack
    • Meryl Streep as Cousin Topsy
    • Colin Firth as Wilkins / Wolf (voice)
    • Dick Van Dyke as Mr. Dawes Jr.

    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.

    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.

    Our Comments: √ 12-09-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS, SS, AD, ASD, BS, A-AS). The checkmark means we own it. Watched it on Amazon. This movie is a delightful children’s tale of the real Christmas story of the birth of Jesus and the events leading up to this momentous moment in human history. The story is both from the perspective of lovable animals and people. A donkey and his friends. Mary and Joseph. The movie is very well made and has respect and reverence for the holy event.. Enjoyment rating: 4 star.

  • Little Women

    Little Women

    1949, 2h 1m


    Genre: Classics, Drama
    TMDB Rating: 74%

    Our Comments: √ 09-29-2023 at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). The checkmark means we own it. We enjoyed the loyal and loving relationships in the family and among neighbours. This is a tight-knit family that faces its ups and downs. Jo, played by June Allyson, doesn’t like change, and resists it. Yet so much change happens in the unfolding life of this family. The movie presents a complex and interesting thread of day-to-day life, defining moments, personality conflicts, illness, loss, and romance. The conclusion of the message is that there will be changes and challenges in life, but the human spirit must endeavor to prevail. We overlooked some of the melodrama, given the time in which the movie was made. To be sure, this is a film that has merit. It’s very good! We were torn between giving it a 3.5 or 4 star rating. We settled on 3.5 plus!

    The movie is based on the book. And several versions have been put to film. We will try some of the other releases of Little Women. There are several.

    TMDB: “Louisa May Alcott’s autobiographical account of her life with her three sisters in Concord Mass in the 1860s. With their father fighting in the civil war, the sisters: Jo, Meg, Amy and Beth are at home with their mother. Jo is an outspoken woman for her time. The story is of how the sisters grow up, find love and find their place in the world.”

    My Comments: 09-05-2023 (approx date) at our place in Niagara (PS, HS). Sweet and innocent classic musical, romance. Pleasant story line, some interesting complexity to it in that the story follows both the young man and his sister, who each fall into their own separate romances at the state fair.

    TMDB: “During their annual visit to the Iowa State Fair, the Frake family enjoy many adventures. Proud patriarch Abel has high hopes for his champion swine Blueboy; and his wife Melissa enters the mincemeat and pickles contest…with hilarious results.”

  • The Andy Griffith Show (TV Comedy)

    The Andy Griffith Show (TV Comedy)

    1960 to 1968, 249 episodes

    Andy Griffith statues, copyright Paul Singer.

    Genre: TV, Comedy
    TMDB Rating: 8.4
    Clean Rating: 5
    Watched It On: iTunes and DVD

    Watching the entire series again, beginning April 27, 2023 following a visit to Mt. Airy. Visited Mt. Airy again Jan 2024 and thus we watched a couple of episodes that month in Venice, FL. An ongoing pleasure.

    My Comments: The series ran from October 3, 1960, to April 1, 1968. 249 half-hour episodes across eight seasons. 159 episodes in black & white and 90 in color. The producer of The Danny Thomas Show, Sheldon Leonard, and Danny, asked writer Arthur Stander (who’d contributed several of the “Danny Thomas” scripts) to create a pilot show for Griffith. The pilot was filmed and aired. This then gave birth to Andy’s own show. The show was filmed at Desilu Studios and other nearby locations in California.

    The fictitious town of Mayberry was based largely upon Griffith’s home town of Mt. Airy (Surry County), North Carolina, with some inspiration from nearby Pilot Mountain (also in Surry County), plus a good dose of imagination. A wonderful place to visit, Mt. Airy hosts The Andy Griffith Museum and many recreations of the show’s locations and some locations that really exist (such as Snappy Lunch diner). The diner is mentioned in episode 7, which aired November 14, 1960, – “Andy the Matchmaker”). You can read about the California studio set and actual town here.

    There’s something very near and dear to our hearts about Mayberry and its gentle, long-suffering, sheriff. Mayberry is where we all want to live. A place of community, normalcy, pleasantness, and bygone simplicity. This is an excellent TV series to enjoy, laugh along with, and relax with.
