F9 - Fast paced - Fun - Family Film!

 Hi ya Gorgeous!

 

Last week the latest installment in the Fast and Furious saga was released, simply as, F9.  Last night, my family went to see it in the theater and oh my goodness! It is a fast paced, fun, film that is action packed.

There are 24 instances of profanity but there are not the major F bombs as seen in other PG13 films. There are 2 scenes with alcohol in them though little drinking. There is a scene with some scantily clad young women dancing. 

There is a LOT of big, loud, noisy, a bit non-nonsensical action where things don't quite make sense, but, it's an action film for fun, not philosopy.

When talking about philosophy this film has a heavy focus on family, trust, and friendships. 

Yes, there are some scenes that just don't make sense and yes, if you watch the Fast and Furious saga you will see some dead characters "magically" come back to life. 

Dom Toretto F9 Charger

 

If you are a mom of boys - this film is for you. It was fun. We were laughing and enjoying the race action scenes. Overall, if you need some entertainment, this is worth the ticket price in my "mother of teenage boy" opinion. 

 

Running time: 145 minutes

Summary from Wikipedia: 

Dom Toretto is living the quiet life off the grid with Letty and his son, but they know that danger always lurks just over the peaceful horizon. This time, that threat forces Dom to confront the sins of his past to save those he loves most. His crew soon comes together to stop a world-shattering plot by the most skilled assassin and high-performance driver they've ever encountered -- Dom's forsaken brother.

TGIF - What Will You Watch This Weekend?

Hi ya Gorgeous
Hello to a Friday post! Oh the weekend! Such sweet relief from the mega school commute.  Is it summer vacation yet?

I write today to ask you what will you and the fam be watching this weekend? So I have an invitation for you as well as a movie review for you today in this post.

First, if you are in the Tri-State area of Kingman/Bullhead City/ Needles/ Laughlin - come join me on March 28th for a sneak peek screening of Unplanned.  Oh this is going to tug some heart strings! It's a true story based on the life of Abby Johnson. She was once the rising star of Planned Parenthood until she saw what happens behind the curtain! It is a must see!

Unplanned film goes nationwide on March 29th - BUT - there are hundreds of sneak peek screenings happening nationwide, like mine, in Laughlin Nevada at the Riverside Resort and Casino Cinemas at 7 pm on  Thursday March 28th.  Come early at 6:30 pm for prayer in the theater before the screening starts.

To find a sneak peek screening near you - or, even to schedule a theater buyout and screen for your group, friends and family, find what you need here on the Unplanned film website.

So that's what you are watching next week but what are you watching this week? Well, I have a review of the Christopher Robin movies. Yes, plural, movies as in more than one.

There is the new Disney version, Christopher Robin starring Ewan McGregor and then there is the more biographical film, Goodbye Christopher Robin film starring Margot Robbie, Domnhall Gleeson and Kelly Macdonald by Gasworks Media.

As a child, I loved Winnie the Pooh, and Tigger too! All the friends of the 100 acres woods were "friends" of mine and I loved the books and stories and shows. Oh such beautiful memories. If you too have children, it's possible that they have seen, heard or read Winnie the Pooh. So that's where the mix up comes in. Both of these films ar every adult in tone and nature. Sad. Depressing.  Nothing that you would show a child and think that they would find joy and delight in, like Winnie the Pooh himself.

Goodbye Christopher Robin deals with the life of the child growing up during the war and his father writing the stories and them becoming famous. As the film tells it, Winnie the Pooh's success made life very difficult for young Christopher Robin.

I did like the film, but it's not something that I would want my child to watch.

I did not know enough about the Disney version of Christopher Robin and when my son saw the avatar on Netflix, he of course wanted to watch. I said yes, expecting a fun silly kid movie about live action Pooh bear, Piglet, Owl, Kanga, Roo, Eeyore and Tigger.

No. No not at all. It's a sad tale of a man overworking, ignoring the family and being absent in his life. 90 % of the film is sad and a harsh tale of life and then 10% in the very end is the rallying of adult Christopher Robin to his young daughter and wife with the help of the 100 acres wood gang of friends.

Just not family material.  Which brings me to close - next week's screening of Unplanned, is, family material. It's a chance to heal for those affected by abortion and find hope.  The film has an R rated, so please, bring your youth groups, young people and sit through the film and be available for discussion afterwards. You'll be glad you were the one to teach them about life instead of the world shaping their opinions for them!

See you at the movies!
