The Beautiful Game

Often I find myself clicking on random titles just because they are trending or new, and have audio description. Such is the case with The Beautiful Game, which immediately gave me mixed emotions. The film is about the Homeless World Cup (yes, Homeless, the film uses that word), that we’ve apparently been doing for some years now, where the unhoused populations of participating countries come together to raise money/awareness for their being unhoused. I’m sure people find this inspiring, but I also think can’t we just figure out a way to help the unhoused without making them play soccer for … Continue reading The Beautiful Game

Role Play

I do enjoy a Kaley Cuoco project from time to time. Not Meet Cute, but there are some other things like The flight Attendant that I enjoyed.

Either way, I’ll admit I fell asleep. Not for the whole film, … Continue reading Living

Arthur Christmas

Sometimes though, halfway through the year, you can enjoy a nice holiday pick-up, like a reminder that Christmas is coming. Arthur Christmas was a nice reminder of that. Somewhere nestled between other Christmas classics like  Polar Express and How The Grinch Stole Christmas is now Arthur Christmas, despite its depressingly low box office. Only 48 million? Really? This film deserved … Continue reading Arthur Christmas
