The last movie I just saw is Wicked in the theaters.
I rate it 5/5.
Back in 2010, I saw Wicked on Broadway and instantly loved it. The movie version did not disappoint. Both Elphaba and Glinda were perfectly casted. Although Ariana Grande was phenomenal in the role of Glinda, it was Cynthia Erivos performance as Elphaba that blew me away. And especially her performance of defying gravity, blew me away. To take an iconic song that so many know and beautifully make it her own, is just proof of her incredible talent.
Besides all of that, all the other cast members were perfect. The sets and all of the dancing were beautiful and unforgettable.
I highly recommend everyone to go and see the movie, even if you have never seen the Broadway musical and/or read the book.

The last movie I saw in the theater was Mufasa: the Lion King. I greatly enjoyed this movie as a prequel to the live action Lion King movie that came out a couple of years ago.

The last film I saw was Speak No Evil, the original Danish version. I liked it a lot, although I was a little shocked with the passivity of the characters. I rate it 4/5.

Rewatched Howl's Moving Castle (in theaters!!! so thankful for my local cinema to randomly choose to show every Studio Ghibli film these past few months haha). This is my favourite Studio Ghibli and one of my favourites films overall, so really I can only give it a 10/10, it's such a comfort movie for me. The story is really good and the images are just purely too gorgeous, I adore Howl and have adored him since I first watched the movie many years ago!

I lasted watched “Barbie” and I would give it 3/5 stars. I think it was too hyped up, so my expectations were too high going into it. I wasn’t very captivated, and it was a chore to finish. However, the message is important so that’s why I gave it as high of a rating as I did.

Recently watched The Lost Boys from back in the 80s. I have seen it before but my wife never has. It really captures a time and a place well. I think that vision on screen of California in the 80s or 90s is one that most people my age have in their head. One thing is for sure, The Lost Boys is much more fun than most films I've seen released in recent years! Anyone who enjoys a bit of vampire-related stuff should seek it out.

The Burbs- it's an 80s movie with Tom Hanks and Carrie Fisher. My husband loves it and watches it repeatedly. It was ok the first time and gets worse each time I am in the room with it.

My boyfriend and I watched Speak No Evil the other day, and we were completely blown away. We love psychological thrillers, and this one was next-level—easily one of the most disturbing, suspenseful films we’ve seen in a long time.The suspense builds so naturally that you don't even realize how deeply unsettling everything has become until it's too late. The tension is suffocating, the slow-burn dread is relentless, and when the plot twist hits—it's gut-wrenching. The performances are beyond phenomenal; every actor delivers with such raw, eerie realism that it feels disturbingly authentic. The film taps into our deepest social anxieties, making you question everything about human nature and trust. It's the kind of horror that lingers with you long after the credits roll—disturbing, thought-provoking, and utterly unforgettable. I highly recommend this movie. :D

I watched Guys and Dolls with my girls last night, and it's a favorite musical for me. I love the songs, I love the story. It's definitely a little dated when it comes to relationships, but I could watch that one over and over again.
