Back in January, I started a blog series where I watch a classic movie that everyone seems to have seen except for me. My first movie was “Top Gun” and today I’m taking on the childhood favorite, “The Goonies.” Released in 1985, the movie follows a group of friends on a treasure hunting adventure in a quest to find enough money so one of the boys in the group doesn’t have to move. Things go […]

Kelly Watches Top Gun
There are so many movies that I’ve never watched that everyone else has and when it comes up in conversation that I’ve never seen ______, I always astound people with my response. A few days ago, I decided to bring Top Gun home from the library because there’s a new installment coming out this summer that looks good and I figured I needed to see the original before watching any sort of sequel.

Best Movies of 2018
Movies always seem to be the last thing I write about at the end of the year. I’m not sure why – maybe it’s because I don’t enjoy them as much as I do other forms of entertainment?

There are many that I haven’t seen yet that I want to from the last quarter of 2016 that probably would have made the list but we simply haven’t had time to go to the theater and Adam’s work schedule has made it harder for us to see free movies this year. That may change soon, so 2017’s list might be a little more robust 🙂 […]
Farewell to the Mockingjay
Movie Review: Mockingjay, Part 2 Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Julianne Moore, Phillip Seymore Hoffman, Donald Sutherland and Woody Harrelson. Rated: PG-13 When we last saw Katniss Everdeen, she was grappling with the physical and emotional effects of nearly being strangled to death by Peeta Mellark, who didn’t exactly greet her with hugs and kisses after his rescue from the Capitol. During his capture, President Snow had been dosing him with tracker jacket […]
