The World According to Jeff Goldblum (2019)
So enjoyable
You must appreciate Jeff Goldblum's quirky behavior to boldly venture into his weird and wild and wonderful world. Anyone who is mildly to moderately interested in him will have a great time with this delightful and informative series!
Annabelle's Wish (1997)
Emotionally terrifying for a five year old
Let me start by saying that Annabelle's Wish is not a feel-good film for young children. I have THE WORST memories from viewing it way back when. Flipping through old VHS tapes this year, I found Annabelle, a film supposedly about a sweet little farm cow who dreams of being one of Santa's reindeer and I thought, "Why do I remember this as traumatic? Sounds cute and normal" BUT THEN I pressed play and it all came rushing back because Annabelle is a talking cow gifted to a child who WAS RENDERED SPEECHLESS after a BARN FIRE that killed his parents. The mute kid is mercilessly bullied (we find out the bullies also have a dead mom-what is going on in this backwoods town???), not to mention the boy's crazy estranged aunt is trying to take custody of him for reasons unknown. Eventually the cow gives up her voice so the boy can have his to verbally deny the aunt custody (????) and we're supposed to feel warm and fuzzy about this but yikes!!!! Years pass and Annabelle gets old and tired and decrepit until Santa, an emotional terrorist here, turns her into glamorous young reindeer. WHAT TOOK SO LONG SANTA??????? Idk, skip this one and watch Rudolph or Charlie Brown and save your kid the therapy expenses.
