    Mary Poppins Returns

    2018, 2h 11m

    Mary Poppins Returns movie


    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:

    • 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.

    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.

    Christmas Vacation (National Lampoon’s)

    1989, 1h 37m


    Genre: Comedy
    TMDB Rating: 72%

    Our Review: ✔ Watched it on 12-25-2023 (PS, HS in Niagara). This is another movie that has been a family tradition since it came out over 30 years ago. It is incredibly funny and entertaining. That said, there are several scenes that can grate on viewers from a morality standpoint. More below. Enjoyment rating: 4 stars.

    Clean Review: From a clean standpoint, there are several moral issues. Immodest views of women, the male protagonist side-stepping that he’s married in the presence of a pretty shop clerk, rude behavior, innuendo, and more. These are downfalls. They fit in with the movie’s lampoon style, but it could have been just as funny without any of this. It is what it is. A very funny movie, but it barely achieves a Clean Rating of 3.

    TMDB: It’s Christmastime, and the Griswolds are preparing for a family seasonal celebration. But things never run smoothly for Clark, his wife Ellen, and their two kids. Clark’s continual bad luck is worsened by his obnoxious family guests, but he manages to keep going, knowing that his Christmas bonus is due soon.

    Our Review: ✔ Watched it on 12-11-2023 (PS, HS in Niagara). A Christmas TV movie that does NOT hit the mark! It’s awkward and uninteresting. We didn’t finish it. Enjoyment rating: 2.5 stars.

    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.

    Three Amigos


    Genre: Comedy, Western
    TMDB Rating: 63%

    Our Review: ✔ Watched it on 12-01-2023 (PS, HS, CB, ASB in Burlington. Long family history with this movie! We are always entertained by the humor and joy of this fine comedy. Enjoyment rating: 4 stars.

    Clean Review: From a clean standpoint, there are a few issues; less than many mainstream movies though. There is some cleavage in places, brief references to unmarried sex, and there is violence in a few spots. It all fits together pretty well overall, and is still relatively “tame” for most audiences. Perhaps consider young impressionable children. Clean Rating: 3.5.

    TMDB: A trio of unemployed silent film actors are mistaken for real heroes by a small Mexican village in search of someone to stop a malevolent bandit.

  • Forgotten Love

    Forgotten Love

    2023, 2h 20m


    Genre: Drama, Romance
    TMDB Rating: 82%

    Our Review: Watched it on 11-12-2023 with HS, ASB, and CB in Burlington. It’s a Netflix film. “Forgotten Love” (Polish: Znachor, meaning “The Quack”) is a 2023 Polish film directed by Michał Gazda. It is an adaptation of the novel Znachor by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz. It has received very positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. It was a top film in 59 countries the first week it came out. A romantic drama, the film explores themes of love, loss, and the power of memories. If you’re a fan of foreign films, you’ll love this one! The story and acting are excellent. The main characters suffer incredible losses, yet a happy and emotionally moving ending comes to prevail. It’s an incredibly powerful film! Enjoyment rating: 4.5 stars.

    Clean Review: From a clean standpoint, there are a couple of scenes that portray couples starting to get intimate, but in truth, they are kept in their place so to speak. There is also great loss throughout the first 3/4 of the film, and some graphic scenes of medical procedures. On morality levels, this is a fairly average film. Adults, view it at your discretion and we hope these comments help you decide. Possibly not suitable for children or young teens. Clean Rating: 3.

    TMDB: A once-respected surgeon who’s lost his family and his memory gets a chance at redemption when he reconnects with someone from his forgotten past.
