Signed, Sealed, Delivered: The Impossible Dream (2015)
BEST movie in the series
This was my favorite movie of the series and I pretty much loved them all. Today is 1/12/21 and this is the first time I've seen this movie. For some reason it was never in the marathon weekends. I'm so glad it was on recently. I felt this was a gem and perfect for all the craziness of this past year. The themes of hope, love and patriotism were perfect. It still had the fun and quirky antics I've come to love and the deeper notes of emotion including Shane's childhood home being razed, a missing soldier braving escape to get back to her family, Oliver returning to the scene of his abandonment by his wife and the insecurities of Oliver and Shane's budding relationship. The 2nd best part- Miss Wyoming singing the Impossible Dream for her talent. It was beautiful and full of emotion and hope. It was very inspiring. Of course the absolute best part was when Phoebe ran into her mother's arms. I am still reeling with emotion.
To Carolannstephen, when the lawyer asked Oliver if he was going to retire since he now had a lot of money, his reply was he would remain at the Post Office because If all you have is money then you will never have enough. (Not word for word but close enough).
Supergirl: Falling (2016)
My favorite episode yet.
Today is 7/23/19 and I am binge watching Supergirl on Netflix. I've seen the majority of the first run show yet somehow I missed this episode and an incredible performance by Melissa Benoist.
I found her snarky bad girl persona rather humorous until she became mean and a bully. Knowing that she would be "cured" I was thinking of the damage real life people have caused with such behavior.
Once the Red Kryptonite was out of her system Melissa did an incredible job showing the heart-wrenching remorse Kara felt at her behavior toward the people she hurt and scared.
My oldest brother once told me that when people are drunk or otherwise mentally altered, they tend to tell the truth as Kara did. No matter how "good" or "righteous" we are or think we are, there are still underlying unresolved hurts and pain from our past and sometimes present, that need to be dealt with. There is a time to express these feelings and thoughts yet done from hurt and anger it is hard to repair as Kara/Supergirl is now finding out. Yes, our caped Hero's scary behavior was revealed to the people of National City to be from an external source but it would take time for them to be able to accept and trust her again. Just as in real life when have been hurt. Melissa, thank you for a wonderful performance.
The Flash: Enter Flashtime (2018)
Holy Crud-Balls!!
WOW!!! My heart is still racing!
This was the most intense and emotionally draining episode of The Flash I've ever seen. I thought this was very well written and the storyline showed much depth. Between the "Flashtime" race to reverse the nuclear blast to Barry's interactions with his team and finally his tearfilled goodbye with Iris, I was completely done in. Now I think it's quiet, soothing music to calm down from the emotional intensity of the past hour.
Well done!
