Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a nice simple popcorn movie to cap 2017.

It is not a deep thinking movie, but it is entertaining. I saw this movie and the theater was filled with groups of teens. It was nice hearing how much they enjoyed this movie. Probably made me like it more.

I can honestly say that if I am watching a movie with an audience that is having fun, it does make me like the movie more.

I would recommend you go see this. Especially if you have MoviePass.

Starring: Dwayne Johnson, Karen Gillan, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Rhys Darby, Bobby Cannavale, Nick Jonas, Alex Wolff, Ser’Darius Blain, Madison Iseman, Morgan Turner

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

The Last Jedi did not feel as focused as the Force Awakens to me.

I felt the pacing was off and some of the transitions between scenes were rather sharp.

The story gets darker than the first, but ends on a note of hope.

I’m conflicted about the final fate of some characters. Some we learn nothing about (guessing it is being held back for a Tales movie) and others almost felt like clearing the board for the new class.

Starring: Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran

Pets of the Week December 25, 2017

Petunia’s as lovely as a flower, but don’t be fooled into thinking she’s just a pretty face—she’s equally intelligent. A recent graduate of the Pawsitive Prison Program at Leath Correctional Institution, she now knows over 20 commands, including Get Dressed, High Five, Go to Sleep, and Heel. She’s a fast learner and more than willing to add to her repertoire, especially if she’s rewarded with her favorite treat: popcorn. Petunia is a 1-year-old, hefty medium-sized, black and white, Terrier mix who’s looking for a forever home where she can run, play ball, take long walks, and bask in the sun. And when she’s worn off her excess energy, she’s ready to snuggle up and shower you with love.

Selena is named after the Greek Moon Goddess, Selene, and this gorgeous Tortoiseshell kitty truly shines. She’s only 6 months old, so she loves to spend time batting around her toys, especially the catnip mice, but she can be just as laid back as she is playful, quite often content to simply relax in a favorite spot. She likes companions, so she’ll be more than happy to join a family that has other cats. Selena already weighs about 7 pounds, so she’s likely to be on the larger size, but that’s just more to love. Her beauty is unmistakable, an enchanting mixture of black, orange, and creamy white, but it’s her charisma that will ultimately cast you under her spell.

Pets of the Week December 18, 2017

If you’re looking for a high-energy canine companion who will run around the yard chasing tennis balls and happily barking at the resident squirrels, Cooper is your dog. This large, 1-year-old Labrador Retriever/Boxer mix is a spirited fellow who’s eager to start learning any commands you wish to teach him, and just as lovable as he is exuberant, readily offering his undying affection. To round out his perfection, he’s truly handsome sporting a coppery-brown coat that gleams in the sunshine. He’s also shown a real desire to make friends with the pups he’s come into contact with, so he should be well-suited to a home with another dog and a large fenced-in yard.

With his sleek beauty and sophisticated air, Stephan looks like he belongs in a James Bond movie. This 2-year-old short-haired cat sports a shiny black coat with just a touch of white on his chest, bringing to mind a classy black tuxedo. His bright, direct gaze is a perfect indicator of his cool, serene demeanor. Stephan is a self-possessed and supremely confident cat. He wants the freedom to redecorate his space to his own liking and responds well to attention on his terms. And since he’s a rather large cat and isn’t particularly fond of being carried around, he would be happiest in a home without small children who might be tempted.

Pets of the Week December 11, 2017

With a smile as wide as a country mile, Lenny is as intelligent and well-behaved as he is sweet and affectionate. This 2-year-old Boxer/Retriever mix is a recent graduate of the Pawsitive Prison Program, where he learned over 20 commands, including Get Dressed, Go to Bed, Give Kisses, and much more. Although he loves to run and play, he’s also very laid back, indoors or out, always willing to settle down for a snuggle. Lenny learns quickly and understands boundaries quite well once established. He has a huge amount of love to give, to both people and other dogs, making him the ideal companion.

This gorgeous Calico kitty is an exotic beauty with a quiet demeanor and captivating gaze. Jing Jing is about 4 years old, so she’s past the high-energy kitten stage and prefers to spend her time snoozing in a favorite comfy spot. She enjoys being pampered and will offer you a flirtatious glance of her stunningly green eyes as reward and appreciation. Her coat, as beautiful as her personality, is a striking mixture of deep black, rich orange, and snowy white. Jing Jing is happy to share her space with just about anyone, including children and other cats. And her serene disposition is infectious, creating a sense of calm wherever she goes.
