In case you haven’t seen the intro from my entry dated
1/26/19 (it’s in my archives whenever you want to read it), I’m no longer going
to review every single movie I see. I’m
going to review one, with the occasional bonus, and just give ratings for the
rest from now on (unless I decide to pick it up again in the future). You can always ask me why I gave the ratings
for the films without reviews though (via comments or the e-mail addresses
under the ‘About Me’ section).

Turning Red OK/G
Newest Pixar movie so I had to see it. All of our bodies change once we reach a
certain age. The young female
protagonist here, an Asian-Canadian (for those that like diversity), turns into
a giant red panda when getting emotional once becoming a teenager (you’ll learn
why). I didn’t think this was too
special and the message of always being your true self is a tad dated, but
there’s probably enough here for most of the family to enjoy, and while the
message may be dated, it will always be relevant. It’s primarily about early teens simply being
early teens in 2002 (no, that’s not a typo, that’s when it takes place). 3/13/2022
Cusp OK/G
Documentary available on Showtime following three teenage
girls during one summer in Texas. It’s
generally as entertaining as a typical teen movie; or, what I should say is
that it’s set up like a typical teen movie, because it should go without saying
that not all teen movies are entertaining.
Being that it’s a documentary though, it makes me wonder how much of it
may have been staged since they knew they were being filmed. Kids
felt very documentary-like but wasn’t, so this could’ve taken a similar
approach, although it kind of did, because I don’t recall the characters
speaking directly to the camera too much; just a lot of voiceovers. I did enjoy getting to know these girls, but
I’d like to have gotten to know them more. I’d like to see how they live every other time
of the year. I’d like to see their lives
in school. Therefore, I think a series
with these girls, doc-style or not, could very well work. 3/9/2022
