Chip Chilla: To The Moon (2023)
Can you name the 3 astronauts on the saturn V mission?
I will start this by say that I am writing this from the perspective of a parent of 4 daughters ages 3-15. This show will be geared towards the 3-9 range. This is a great alternative to the youtube brain drain that I think most of our children have dipped their toes into.
Ill start by saying this as a testament to the learning this can provide. Can you name the 3 astronauts to go on the Saturn V moon landing mission? Well with the first episode of this show you will.
The premise is cute, it's a family of chinchillas and who doesn't like that. The show is not offensive and has a clear premise. It's kind of stepped down version of bluey which I'm an absolute fan of as well.
While it pales in comparison to bluey it by no means is as bad as the reviews will make it out to be. Short form videos with a decent number of cool topics like space in episode one. It also promotes being considerate to your siblings for which I am thankful for because having 4 girls they bicker a lot.
Mr. Birchum: Welcome Back, Birchum! (2024)
A return to the everyday sitcom
The first episode of this series was a little slow, but it has a decent direction. It is right leaning but its not crazy. It does make fun of the extreme left but it does dip into how silly both sides can be. Anyone who knows Adam Corolla knows he's not a far-right leaning person and is more middle of the row and this show reflects that.
The voice acting is decent, styling is different, and the premises shows promise.
I enjoy most of the cast members that they have in show and Adams voice really fits the character of Mr. Birchim. Full disclosure I am a fan of Daily Wire but hope my review isn't to skewed. I highly recommend if you have the ability to see this show to give it a shot.
Elemental (2023)
Most magic I've felt since The incredibles.
When it comes to Disney I've been disappointed as of late. The directions they are taking are less about creating magical experiences and more of pandering to what they believe are modern ideals. Pixar gets dragged along for the ride in this aspect.
Elemental on the other hand is a change back into the direction of the early 2000s and pushes it forward. This is a story that has been told before and it's nothing new and special. That being said the music, the environment and the fact the characters are as simple as Fire and Water are what make it so unique and simple. The details they add like Bernie's suitcase being a charcoal grill is a nice touch.
It's an aesthetically beautiful movie. The music and visuals are amazing and fit so well together that they conjure up feelings and touches the heart like Disney/Pixar movies are known for.
Highly recommend it do yourself a favor and treat your eyes to this beautiful movie if not for any other reason.
Se7en (1995)
A movie I can't wait to share with my children when they grow up.
Se7en is on of those movies that no matter how old it gets will still be one of the greats. It has all the necessary story elements to make for a great movie of this type.
Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman are a duo that I wish would be in more movies together. The way these two portray their characters, one a new impatient detective and one who just wants to make it through the day to retire at some point in time while still having the push to do things the right way is a perfect match for these two greats.
I have seen this movie atleast 30 times and it's always fantastic and that twist at the end brings back the same emotions every single time.
This is well placed in the top 10 movies of all time on IMDB and should remain there until someone else can top it with a masterpiece better than this. The day that comes I will be in forever amazement.
Pompeii (2014)
Should have been 20 minutes longer.
I have always found that large action films that are sub 2 hours always seem to leave a lot on the table. The action was good and compared to more recent films the CG isn't over whelming.
The front end of the movie could have had more to extend on Milo's back story and the middle could have had more time to expand and grow the characters. The gladiator fights were fun and well done and goes well with other period pieces like Spartacus.
Overall not a superb movie but not a waste of time. Unlike Pearl Harbor and the titanic a story had to created based on what history was know about the time period and spruced up into a movie. Leading to the comparison to the titanic, a much longer movie, the biggest downfall was the rushed story and short runtime. That being said was overall decent.
