The creators of the iconic children’s show Sesame Street are suing over an upcoming Melissa McCarthy film that they say hijacks the show’s brand to depict puppets engaging in lewd activities.
I hope they win. Have you seen the trailer for this movie? It's disgusting.
In a lawsuit filed this week against the STX film studio, Sesame Street’s parent company says the R-rated movie, The Happytime Murders, threatens to damage its brand with “explicit, profane, drug-using, misogynistic, violent, copulating, and even ejaculating puppets.” The film, slated for an August release and directed by one of Jim Henson’s family members, features the tagline, “No Sesame. All Street.” “Sesame seeks an injunction that forces Defendants to cease and desist their trading upon the goodwill associated with Sesame Street in furtherance of box office receipts,” the lawsuit says. “The promotion of The Happytime Murders should succeed or fail on its own merits, not on a cynical, unlawful attempt to deceive and confuse the public into associating it with the most celebrated children’s program in history.” STX responded by expressing disappointment that Sesame Street “does not share in the fun” and vowed to fight the lawsuit in court. Share in the fun? The trailer depicts absolutely disgusting behavior. STX needs to go back to kindergarten to learn the difference between right and wrong, distasteful and fun, as well as disrespectful and fun.
In a Nutshell: It’s
always really fun to watch a movie with an enthusiastic crowd, especially fans
of a beloved franchise like STAR WARS. I've been a fan ever since I was a young girl when the very first one hit the Big Screen. The audience clapped every time a significant moment of introduction
appeared on the screen, like when Han Solo got his name, when he met Chewbacca,
and when he first set his eyes on the Millennium Falcon.The audience I sat with cheered and clapped,
but I admit I was surprised at how small the audience actually was.Where is everyone?Apparently, they’re busy Tweeting about how
much they don’t like this movie.
After a lot of directorial drama and studio politics, Ron
Howard directed this prequel after saying no to the gig 18 years ago when he was asked to direct Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. This becomes the first time an Academy Award-winning director ever made a
Star Wars film. Was it worth the wait? I'd love to hear what YOU think!
Tips for
parents:
Lots of fighting and violence with a very high body
count.
Some profanity.
Han Solo and his team are in perilous situations almost all of the time.
Uplifting theme:
Good vs. evil
Hope
Trust and deceit
Friendship
Loyalty
Things I liked:
This
new edition to the franchise includes fan favorites like Woody Harrelson,
Paul Bettany, Donald Glover, and of course, Emilia Clarke.
Alden
Ehrenreich does a good job as Han Solo.He’s charming and playful enough.Some fans are complaining that this movie doesn’t deepen Han’s
character, but that's due to the writing, not to his acting ability. I finally remembered where I had seen Ehrenreich before...the movie Hail, Caesar!
Lots
of fun, new creatures to entertain and delight audiences.
There
are a lot of impressive action sequences and CGI.
I saw
the film in 3D, but it’s also good without it.
There
is a fun cameo appearance at the end of the movie that made the audience
squeal.
Chewbacca
is so awesome.
There are some respectful nods to former episodes.
Things I didn’t like:
A lot
of people are complaining that the movie feels like an obvious money grab.
A lot
of the scenes are shot in dark places, so it might be hard to watch the
movie on a TV or computer monitor once it goes to DVD or streaming.
I was
kind of hoping that the movie would include something that tied into how
Han Solo (Harrison Ford) got that scar on his chin.
While
we get to meet the interesting L3-37 droid, the absence of R2-D2 and C-3PO is definitely felt. It's the first time they are both missing from a Star Wars movie.
Some
lines seen in the movie trailer don’t actually appear in the movie.In fact, some of the scenes don’t appear
in the movie at all!
The
pacing could use some help.
I
wanted an emotional moment that would make me cry, but it never happened
for me.
There’s
no real evil villain that makes us shudder.
"Social justice warriors" and Kathleen Kennedy are being criticized for always casting "strong" women in certain roles in the name of diversity, often weakening the impact of those characters. What do YOU think of that? There is a reveal in this movie that made the audience audibly roll their eyes, as in "Oh brother!"
Funny lines:
“You’re
190 years old?You look great!” –
Han
“What
should we drink to?” – Qi’ra
“Let’s drink two and see where it
goes.” – Han
“You
will never have a deeper sleep than when curled up in a Wookie’s lap.” –
Rio Durant (voiced by Jon Favreau)
“Sorry
I punched your face.” – Beckett (Woody Harrelson)
“It happens more often than you
think.” - Han
Interesting lines:
“I’ve
got a really good feeling about this. – Han
“Assume
everyone will betray you and you will never be disappointed.” – Beckett (Woody
Harrelson)
“Sounds like a lonely way to live.”
– Han
“I don’t
know if he said ‘tribe’ or ‘family’.” – Han
In a Nutshell: I guess you could say that this movie
puts the sex back into the word “sexagenarian", although the majority of the leading ladies are in their 70's and 80's. Sex is the main focus of this movie which, honestly, disappointed me
because this talented cast could have done so much more. There are so many interesting topics that could have been explored to develop the characters better. The stellar cast includes four Oscar winners
and two nominees: Jane Fonda, Diane Keaton, Candice Bergen, Mary Steenburgen, Andy
Garcia, and Richard Dreyfus.
Designed for an older viewing crowd, the audience I sat with
laughed non-stop, while I mostly rolled my eyes.
Tips for
parents:
Some profanity, crude language, and 1 F-bomb.As Candice Bergan’s character says in
the movie, “Must you always be so crass?”Exactly.
TONS
of wine.Someone is drinking wine
or some other kind of alcohol in almost every single scene.
Lots
of sex out of wedlock and LOTS of talk about sex, often with
metaphors. Just so you know, the four women in the BOOK CLUB read all of the books in the Fifty Shades of Grey series, which is what triggers the focus. Sharon says, "I'm not sure this qualifies as a book." Exactly.
Uplifting theme:
“Reaching
millions of people doesn’t come close to reaching just one you love.” –
Arthur (Don Johnson)
“I
know I’m getting older, but I’m still learning and one of the things I’ve
learned is that I deserve to be happy.” – Diane (Diane Keaton)
Friendship
Self-esteem
Love and connection
The power of books!
Things I liked:
I
thought Candice Bergan’s character was the most enjoyable and
realistic.As a federal judge, I
thought it was cute that she named her cat after Supreme Court Justice
Ruth Bader Ginsberg. She's 72 in real life. By the way, have you heard her famous hit TV show Murphy Brown: Season 1 is coming back to TV? I used to love that show and am excited to see what they do with its revival.
The
food at the ladies’ Book Club gatherings always looked so good.
Jane Fonda is 80 and looks amazing. Have you seen her recent TV show Grace And Frankie Season 1 ? She's really great in it and looks stunning.
Keep watching the rolling credits at the end for a few more scenes.
Craig T. Nelson and Mary Steenburgen also played a married couple in the movie The Proposal. She is only 65, the youngest in the group. He's 74.
This was Bill Holderman’s directorial debut.Hopefully, he’ll bring more older actors and actresses to the Big Screen.As evidenced by the large audiences I saw for this film on opening day, there is definitely a market there. Jane Fonda revealed that studio bosses wanted younger stars to play the characters in this movie. Ageism is alive and well in Hollywood.
Things I didn’t like:
As
much as I adore Diane Keaton, and I do, she pretty much plays the same
character in all of her movies, including her clothing style with
scarves, hats, and pant suits.She
even wore an Annie Hall hat in the pool scene.It’s like she’s just playing herself in
movies. In fact, her character’s
name in this movie is Diane.Ha ha
There is such a huge age difference between Ed Begley Jr.'s character and Mircea Monroe's character that it was ridiculous.I know this is a comedy, but it was just
silly.
This
is a true rom-com Chick Flick where all of the men fall all over themselves to please
the women (except one).
Sometimes
it’s annoying when everyone in a movie has unlimited time and money to do whatever they want.
The
second half of the movie really dropped for me.
Andy
Garcia played Diane Keaton’s nephew in The Godfather, so I thought their
ages were unmatched in this film. In this movie, she says she was born
in1951.In real life, she was actually born in 1946 and is 72 years old. Andy Garcia is 62.
The
movie franchise of Fifty Shades of Grey is so pornographic and I’ve never
understood how those movies could ever make it to mainstream box
offices.Don Johnson, who is one of
the leading men in this movie, is the real-life father of Dakota who stars
in those sadistic sex movies.Gosh,
isn’t he proud?
Blatant brand merchandising always annoys me.This movie had tons, including Zillow, Bumble, Buca de Beppo,
Brooks Brothers, Mercedes, and more.
Diane
Keaton’s character never says “goodbye” when she talks on the
telephone.Do you know people in
real life who do that?So annoying.
I wanted to see more of Richard Dreyfuss and Wallace Shawn. They're both so awesome.
Funny lines:
“The
last time she went on a date, she got pregnant.” – Sharon (Candice Bergen)
“I don’t think that’s going to
happen this time.” - Vivian (Jane Fonda) * "They say that memory is the second thing to go." - Arthur (Don Johnson) "What's the first?" - Vivian "I don't remember." - Arthur
Here is my newest movie review and a film I think many authors will be able to relate to! Movie Title: The Man Who Invented Christmas
Grade: A-
Rating: PG, 104 minutes
In a Nutshell: I admit
it. I loved this movie, because I'm an author. I have a particular fondness for movies that peel back the curtains
on the life of a successful author and reveal the painful writing process,
including writer’s block, muses, and taking notes of people’s names (I do all
that too.) In this case, Charles Dickens is the author and the book that he struggles to write in less than 6 weeks is the famous, beloved A Christmas Carol: Original illustrations by John Leech. I love that he was inspired
by life around him. Charles Dickens’
father warns, “We must not disturb the poet when the divine frenzy is upon him.” True THAT!
When I’m writing and “in the zone”, it makes me crazy when I get interrupted, so I got a kick out of watching Charles Dickens deal with the constant knocking at his door.
Based on the book, this family friendly film is perfect for
almost all ages and will leave you with the desire to do something kind for
someone this Christmas season. In fact,
after A Christmas Carol: Original illustrations by John Leech was released in 1843, charitable giving immediately surged. I hope this movie gets the same reaction.
Uplifting theme:
“No
one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of another.” –
“Christmas…the
hope that our better natures will prevail.” - John
Are you
fettered by chains that you have made in life? Jacob asked, “Do you know the link of
the chain you bear yourself?”
Poor vs. rich
Things I liked:
Dan
Stevens and those blue eyes! If you
wanted to see more of him since you first discovered him in Beauty and the Beast (2017) (Theatrical Version), you’ll love watching him star in this movie as Charles Dickens.
Christopher
Plummer was perfect as Ebenezer Scrooge.
The
set pieces, furniture, and costume designs are really great. I loved the details like the oil lamps
for street lights. Speaking of
sets, some of the pieces from the TV series Penny Dreadful: Season One were used to
make this film. Despite the fact
that you really feel like you’re in 19th Century London, most
of the filming was done in Ireland.
Some well-placed
humor.
The
audience laughed when Charles Dickens’ publisher said, “There’s not much
of a market for Christmas.”
We don’t
often see PG live action movies, so this was refreshing to see playing in
theaters.
I love
how the characters in Charles’ books come to life for him and through him
and are a part of the cast in the film.
In fact, Charles explains, “Get the name right and the character
will appear.” I write non-fiction
and have always been fascinated with how the writing process works for
fiction authors who create characters and worlds.
There
are several references to Shakespeare and, in fact, most of the cast in
the film are trained Shakespearean actors.
In real life, Charles Dickens adored “The Bard” and acted in some
of his plays. Many of them had also
previously worked on other adaptations of A Christmas Carol.
Things I didn’t like:
It’s a
little slow moving.
Neither
the title of the movie nor the original book are properly explained during the
movie.
Some
of the flashbacks were shown at odd times and might be a bit confusing for
children.
While
a biopic of sorts, some of the story is fiction. We honestly don’t know as much about
Charles Dickens’ writing process as we would like to!
Interesting quotes:
“Debt
is an ogre. If you’re not careful,
it can eat you up.” – Charles Dickens
“People
will believe anything if you’re finely dressed.” – John Dickens (Jonathan
Pryce)
Funny lines:
“I’m
the author here!” – Charles Dickens
“Allegedly.” - Scrooge
Tips for
parents:
If your kids have never heard or read Charles Dickens’
A Christmas Carol, then you’ll want them to become familiar with it
first.
Kids will be surprised to learn that Christmas wasn’t
always so commercial as it is now.
Kids also won’t know about “debtors’ prison” in England, where people were sent when they couldn't pay their bills. That always seemed strange to me, because there would be no possibly way for them to earn the money they owed while in prison!
Work
houses in England are also mentioned several times. Poor and destitute people were encouraged to go to work houses to live and earn money. The conditions and stigma were so terrible that people would rather die than go there.
I heard profanity twice. One of those times was the
British swear word “bloody.”
Some
words your kids may not know are “nappies” (British word for “diaper”) and
“necromancer” (conjurer).
As an author, I always enjoy movies about other writers. I would love to have my writing affect a reader so powerfully as Edward's did on Susan. This is the book the film
In a Nutshell: This disturbing,
stylish drama is very cleverly written and unfolds perfectly.
Tom Ford wrote the screenplay and
directed this movie. He is a great
storyteller and does an excellent job layering three stories over and under
each other. Did you know he got his start as a fashion designer?
Uplifting theme:
“Do
you ever feel like your life has turned into something you never intended?”
– Susan Morrow (Amy Adams)
Regret,
emotional scars.
Believing
in someone.
Things I liked:
I love
Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaall in anything. They’re both super talented and deliver
fantastic emotional performances.
You
begin to understand the symbolism at the same time Susan does.
Michael Shannon does a great job as a crusty old cop who is dying physically and
emotionally.
Aaron
Taylor-Johnson and Karl Glusman make you so angry as the sleazy scumbag
criminals you want to see get what they deserve.
I thought
the movie poster was really clever.
This film will stay with you. The more you think about it, the more you'll notice the connecting cues throughout the movie.
Things I didn’t like:
It
annoyed me when Susan described her conservative, religious parents as
racist, as if all of those things are naturally connected.
Some
very talented actors had very small parts (Laura Linney, Michael Sheen, Armie
Hammer, Jena Malone) and I would have loved to see more of them.
It’s
emotionally very dark.
Interesting lines:
“Enjoy
the absurdity of our world. It’s a
lot less painful.” – Carlos (Michael Sheen who has another movie out in
theaters right now: Passengers)
Susan
asks, “Why are you so driven to write?”
Edward answers, “I guess it’s a way of keeping things alive. I’m saying things that will eventually
die. If I write it down, then it’ll
last forever.”
“My
husband used to call me a nocturnal animal.” – Susan
‘I’m
not scared. I’m unhappy.” – Susan
“They
say we all become our mother.” – Anne Sutton
Funny lines:
“Do
you not trust your nanny?” – Susan
“No, I do. I just hate her.” – (Jena Malone)
Tips for
parents:
This
is not a family-friendly movie that children should watch. It is a very dark Rated R film with mature
themes.
Vulgar
profanity.
Discussion
and portrayal of a brutal rape attack.
You
see a guy sitting on a toilet naked.
Abortion,
marriage infidelity, illegal activities.
Here is an example from a powerful story and book turned into a less successful film. The following is from my movie review web site. Movie Title: He Named Me Malala
Grade: B-
Rating: PG-13, 87 minutes
In a Nutshell: This
true story is one that needs to be told. Unfortunately, the film is underwhelming considering the importance of
the subject material. It is informative,
but not engrossing enough to create raving fans or high box office sales.
The film is a powerful educational tool for teenagers and
even comes with free discussion guides for teachers to use in a classroom
setting. #WithMalala Hopefully, teens, especially girls, will be
inspired and motivated to make a positive difference in the world.
Uplifting theme:
Stand
up for what is right. Stand up for
rights.
Countless
unsung heroes have paid the price for freedom.
“It’s
better to live like a lion for one day than to live like a slave for a
hundred years.” – Malala
“It is
so hard to get things done in this world.
You try and too often it doesn’t work, but you have to continue and
you never give up.” – Malala
“Change
matters.” – Malala’s father
Education
is power. Malala’s father stated,
“When you educate a girl, it transforms her. It transforms our world.” So true.
“There’s
a moment when you have to choose whether to be silent or to stand up.” -
Malala
Things I liked:
It was
smart to use animation sequences to separate the past from the present, as
the film jumps back and forth in time.
Malala’s
father is truly remarkable. The film explains that his family pedigree
only included the names of men for 300 years, until he was the first to
add his daughter’s name to it. He has such a better way of seeing the
world than is common in his culture.
He has done a lot for women’s rights and forward thinking.
It’s
impressive to hear the profound things Malala says and then remember that
she is still a teenager. She received
the Nobel Peace Prize and was listed in the Top 100 Most Influential
People by Time magazine.
I
thought it was interesting that, although Malala would be killed if she
returned to Pakistan, she still wanted to go back. She said, “I miss the dirty streets.”
There
are so many positive lessons to be gleaned from Malala’s story and
life. Her father stammers sometimes
and she said that she was impressed with his persistence and never let his
speech impediment slow him down.
She suggested to him that he simply choose another word when he
stumbles on a particular word, but instead, he persists until he finally
gets it right. Impressive man.
Things I didn’t like:
Sometimes
it’s hard to understand Malala’s accent.
It
took me awhile to get into the movie, but by the end, I was glad I spent
the time to learn more about Malala and her story.
The
beautiful home in England where Malala’s family now lives and all of the
media coverage make you wonder who it was
who pushed for all of the attention and how much money was made
from her story. Some people have
been critical of Malala’s father, saying that he orchestrated all of the
coverage in order to gain money and notoriety. When confronted with that criticism, Malala
stated, “My father gave me the name Malala. He did not make me Malala. I chose this life.” Good answer.
It
feels more like a documentary than a feature film.
Malala’s
little brother talks about how she slaps him every day. She explains it’s a loving gesture. I understand the filmmakers were trying
to show her playful relationship with her siblings, but considering the film is
about violence, I wouldn’t have highlighted that interaction.
A clip
shows Malala saying, “I believe there is no difference between a man and
woman,” but then immediately says, “A woman is more powerful than a
man.” Huh? While Malala says some very insightful
things in the film, that inconsistent logic shouldn’t have been included.
There isn't very much humor, so the movie can feel very heavy after awhile.
Interesting and
inspiring lines:
“Dear
sisters, don’t be fooled by superstitions.” – radio host who inspired
Malala as a young girl
“School
was my home.” – Malala (Her father
was a school teacher, so she spent many hours playing and studying in the
school where he taught.)
“I
think she’s not independent and free because she’s not educated.” – Malala
said this about her mother
“I
think she’s addicted to books.” – Malala’s brother said this about her. Later, she explains “One book can change
the world.”
“I saw
her completion in me and I saw my completion in her.” – Malala’s father
said this about when he first met his wife.
“God
is not that tiny.” – Malala
An
interviewer asked Malala’s father who shot her. He answered, “It was not a person. It was an ideology.”
In
speaking about the Taliban, Malala stated, “They were not about
faith. They were about power.”
“If my
rights are violated, and I keep silent, I should better die than live.” –
Malala’s father
“Let
us pick up our books and our pens.
They are our most powerful weapons.” – Malala
“A
conscience exists in the world that extends beyond all boundaries.” –
Malala’s father
TIPS FOR PARENTS
Young
children may be bored. The topics
are serious, political, and often dark.
There
is a scene that describes when Malala and some of her classmates were shot
on a school bus. You see some blood
on the bus, which could be frightening for young children.
There
is some live footage of past events, but most of the violent history is
shown in animation.
I write several different blogs, but this one is supposed to be all about writing.
Moby-Dick is one of the greatest novels of all time and now we have a retelling of the epic story through the movie In the Heart of the Sea! Here is my movie review for it, shared from my movie review blog called "Movie Review Maven."
Grade: A-
Rating: PG-13, 2 hours 1 minute
In a Nutshell: 1820.
A giant, vengeful whale. A ship. A determined captain. Man vs. beast. Imagine Entertainment and Director Ron Howard
create a visual masterpiece with unbelievable cinematography, sailing you to
the “edge of insanity.”
This seafaring yarn graphically illustrates how Herman
Melville’s famous novel Moby-Dick came
to be. While the screen definitely captures
your attention, the storytelling has movie critics disappointed. I was entertained and intrigued, as well as
disgusted and exhausted.
As always, the book is better than the movie, but these special effects are innovative and effective.
Uplifting theme:
“Can
man bend nature to our will? – Captain Pollard (Benjamin Walker)
Persistence
and tenacity will see you through.
Integrity
is worth more than reputation or money.
Things I liked:
·THOR! If
you’re not in awe of the giant whale, then you have handsome and studly Chris
Hemsworth to stare at.
·Believe it or not, I actually like it when there
are water spots on the camera lens. That
tells me there was real water in the scene and not just CGI. Then again, some of the scenes made me wonder
if the water spots were CGI! If so, nice
detail! The water scenes are so well
done that sometimes you even feel like you’re going to get splashed on.
·The scene with the blood raining from above was
disgusting and extremely powerful.
·I liked learning more about Melville, the author
of Moby-Dick, and played by Ben
Whishaw.
·How did they get some of those amazing
scenes? Drones?
·Interesting camera angles. I also love how the camera goes under the
water and back above the water seamlessly.
Great underwater scenes. You
might feel like holding your breath.
·I thought the whale pins were cool. In order to earn one, young Tom Nickerson
(Tom Holland) is told that “you have to thrust a killing lance into one of the
largest beasts to grace this earth.”
·I love the mention of Nathaniel Hawthorne. Tom Nickerson asks “Have you read Hawthorne,
Mr. Melville? There’s a writer, great
writer.” Apparently, Herman Melville was
quite taken with Hawthorne and even dedicated Moby-Dick to Hawthorne whom he compared to Shakespeare and called a
genius.
·Great sound effects, although sometimes a bit
too loud.
·I’ve always liked Charlotte Riley and wonder why
we don’t see her more often. She was
really great in Ridley Scott’s medieval drama “World Without End.”
·I’m always impressed with characters who rise
above their temptations, like Cillian Murphy’s character, Matthew Joy. His resolve
to not drink alcohol, even when things got tough, was inspiring and not seen
often enough in movies.
·I love that they included a quick shot of the
words “Call me Ishmael” on the screen, which is the first sentence in the
book Moby-Dick.
Things I didn’t like:
·See it in 3D if you can, unless you get motion
sickness. You might get sea sick
watching some of the scenes. Just close
your eyes for a few seconds and you’ll be fine.
·Some scenes have so many loud noises between
people yelling and waves crashing and boats creaking that you can’t quite
understand what anyone is saying.
·Animal activists will find many of the scenes
unnerving.
·I’ve never understood how all those sails and
ropes work, but it’s always fascinating to watch sailors work it.
·The scene that shows the ocean view from Owen’s
house looks terribly artificial, but all of the other CGI scenes were very
believable.
Interesting lines:
·“Sometimes, the fewer questions one asks, the
better.” - Matthew
·“I’ll come back as quick as a summer’s eve.” – Owen
“Just come back.” – Peggy
·“Without you, the world plunges into darkness.” –
Pollard senior
·“Monsters, are they real or do the stories exist
to respect the sea’s dark secrets? The
question both vexes and excites me.” – Herman Melville
·“The whale?
So, it’s true?” – Melville
“Yes. Too much is true.” – Nickerson
·“The devil loves unspoken secrets.” – Melville
·“No right-minded sailor discards what might save
him.” – Owen Chase
* "We will surely perish out there." - Captain Pollard
"We might also survive." - Mr. Chase
Tips for
parents:
The
sailors draw a picture of a topless woman.
Some
profanity.
Several
intense scenes with lots of blood and guts.
Skeletons
of dead guys might frighten young children.
Explain
to your kids that a “greenhorn” is the old-fashioned way of saying “newbie”.
