Frozen 2

⭐ 6.5/10 (Originally written by Sydney) I've gotta be honest.. I expected to like this one a lot more. It had the same cute humour that the first one did, and some of the songs were great. I found that a few of them just really didn't fit in with the rest of the movie. I also had a hard time following the story line in terms of the 4 spirits, maybe that's just me, but I didn't understand until I looked it up what was going on during the movie. Still a good feel-good movie for any age group!

Life Of the Party

⭐ 7.5/10 (Originally written by Sydney) This movie was pretty much exactly what I would have expected of a Melissa McCarthy movie. Lots of humour. Not my absolute favourite movie of hers, but it was definitely entertaining.

To Love and Let Go - Rachel Brathen

⭐ 10.0/10 (Originally written by Sydney) I don't even have words to explain this book. Although I have never experienced a grief process or big loss yet in my life, Rachel has the ability to articulate her feelings in a way that I was able to feel them, almost so deeply that it felt like I was going through the same thing (partially because of my ability to feel emotions more deeply than a lot of people do). Having been a follower of hers for so long, I already knew a big part of her story, but somehow this book brought a whole slew of different emotions and experiences to the surface that I don't think anyone could have imagined. I make it sound like such a sad book - parts of it, oh dear they were terribly sad, but it comes full circle, I promise. And the whole thing about the purpose for having her daughter and why her being a mother is so important?! Oh my. Sent chills, EVERYWHERE! She blows me away. (Sliiiightly fangirling while writing this review) I don't read a whol...

The Lion King (2019)

⭐ 10.0/10 (Originally written by Sydney) As The Lion King has always been my absolute favourite movie of all time, I was so extremely excited for this one to be redone. Before it came out I definitely teared up watching the trailers and the waterworks started in theatres as the first sound of NAAAAA began while the sun rose (seriously, ask Daniel... I cried the whole way through). Watching it again almost a year later was still amazing and allowed me to see even more minute details. I loved the way they made some things more realistic (ex. The leaves blowing in the wind, Timon and Pumba, Zazu, etc). Loved it. Every second. Maybe the child inside me is a little bias in rating this one, but honestly, it was amazing. Who doesn't love seeing almost real-looking lion cubs on a screen for an hour?!

Full House

⭐ 9.0/10 (Originally written by Sydney) I remember watching this show after school in my adolescent years. I loved it then, and I love it now. Many of the sensitive talks between cast members that have that lovely music in the background to enhance the moment are a little too cheesy for me watching it again now, however, it's a show for all ages and everyone can learn something from it. Makes me laugh, makes me cry, all around feel good show.
