California Typewriter (2016)
Great for the typewriter and writer enthusiast.
I am a writer. I have children who love to explore, tinker and create. This documentary has given me the insight and freedom to move the broken and working into different categories. I adore fixing manual typewriters and keeping them in pristine condition. But having children and this doc I now also enjoy them using the broken pieces or very damaged typewriters for other usage. Art, animatronics, fixing other toys etc. As I say, they are fixed and they are now usable. I wish people would use them. Even I unfortunately don't use them. Technology has long surpassed them. But every once and a while I take one out of storage, type whatever my heart desires and enjoy it much like a glass of fine wine. C'est la vie.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023)
Great film!
This was a great movie for our family. We all had a blast watching it in the theatre. It kept our attention, storyline was gripping and I don't think 2024 can come fast enough for the second part. I honestly had high expectations and they were shattered. Much better than I thought. I can't wait to watch it again and again to see all the stuff I'm sure I missed. Lots going on. Great great film. I have kids ranging from 6 to 13 and everyone was immersed entirely. We left the theatre in great moods and the drive home was just talking about what may happen next. Or the scenes they liked most. That's pretty rare.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
Not as family friendly.
Pretty disturbing animal abuse stuff. Made my kids cry. Not the family friendly movie I expected from this franchise. Groot looks like a body builder instead of his tall cool self. Mantis is overlooked most of the film, she never senses anything like she should and her mental abilities are tossed for comedic back and forth scenes. She's super powerful and unfortunately they chose to keep her meek and docile.
Most of the casts super abilities are not even shown until close to the end. I expected more than I should have I guess. But with this much money and a great chunk of characters the writing was sub par. Gunn failed on this one.
