Who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned romance movie?

Ok, lots of people don’t love romance movies, as a genre they are mocked constantly they are not well respected in the movie community. While the Romantic Comedy (Rom-Com) genre has gained some respect with movies like You’ve got mail, Isn’t It Romantic, When Harry Met Sally, etc. the straight romance genre has been regulated to either corny Hallmark movie, uber sexual movies i.e 50 Shades of Grey, or lousy remakes of bad young adult novels. And while Finding You does partially fall into the last category, it is based on a YA novel, there are some redeeming qualities about this movie that make it unique in its genre.

There are very few DC movies you can watch with the whole family. Most of them are too dark and intense for little ones, or they are so child-friendly that they no longer seem like a superhero movie at all. This has been a source of much angst in my house since both my kids under the age of 5 love superheroes but never get to watch any movies. However, after much searching, I have finally found the DC superhero movie that the whole family can watch, Lego Batman.

Sometimes it is hard to say yes, most of the time it is way easier to say no. But for Allison (Jenifer Gardner) yes was always easy….Sky diving? Yes! World Travel? Yes! Line dancing? Yes!

After Allison said yes to marriage and kids, her yes became no. Her sense of adventure turned into a desire for safety and her spontaneous spirit was traded for lists and overcomplex calendars. Furthermore, when it came to her kids and their wild schemes, the answer was always no.

When Disney’s Raya and the Last Dragon was announced, I, like many others, didn’t care, at all. I had never heard anything bad about the movie, on the contrary, all of the early reviews and such were glowing. I still didn’t care. It seemed from all the previews, that it was going to be another generic movie. I was prepped for the southeast Asian version of Moana with dragons. What I saw, however, was a unique story about trust with well-rounded characters and exceptional voice acting. . This movie rises above the generic Disney animation standard, and… it has dragons!

When it was announced last year that there was going to be a sequel to The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl, I was skeptical. If you have seen Sharkboy and Lavagirl you already know that it is kind of awful. Between the weird story, bad acting and scary graphics (2005 CGI is the stuff of nightmares), it just is not a well done film. However, despite the aforementioned shortcomings, writer and director Robert Rodriguez does one thing really well. He creates worlds that spark kids' imaginations and helps them believe that they can do anything. Thus when We Can Be Heroes was announced, I skeptically wondered if Rodriguez could recapture the world that so many grew up with and if he could recreate it, how would it hold up?
