I’ve seen more movies in the the theater this summer than since the boys were little and we hit the dollar shows every week! And, I couldn’t be more pleased about it. While I rarely watch a movie at home, I love nothing more than seeing one on the big screen, snuggled up in the recliner chair and with a buttered popcorn, ice cold Coke and some Goober’s.
Death on the Nile
I loved the old-fashioned style, costumes and scenery so much. I love a good murder mystery. This one wasn’t terribly suspenseful and definitely was not scary. Rather, it felt like sitting down to watch a Murder She Wrote – type story unfold.
Lightyear
Whit picked Lightyear as his must-see movie of the summer and we headed off on a night out for just the two of us. Lightyear is a prequel to Toy Story and is the origin story of Buzz Lightyear. The very beginning of the movie explains that this is the movie Andy saw when he fell in love with his Buzz Lightyear and got the toy. It was cute, but definitely my least favorite of the Toy Story franchise. We both agreed that Sox, Buzz’s robot cat, stole the show and captured our hearts!
Downton Abbey: A New Era
I absolutely savored every second of this one! It was like spending an evening with old friends. I very much enjoyed the “update” on my favorite characters and thought it was a lovely continuation of the story. It’s absolutely predictable and perfectly charming!
Top Gun: Maverick
Well, this one was just totally fantastic! Top Gun was one of the most iconic movies of my childhood and there was a time when I think I could recite entire scenes with friends. Maverick was the rare sequel that was just as good as the original. I particularly loved the few character ties to the original (Ice and Goose’s son). This one is a great way to introduce the kids to a movie our generation will always love.
Next up for me is Where the Crawdads Sing! Have you seen any great movies this summer?
