“White Men Can’t Jump” is a redo of a movie from 1992 that starred Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes. If you haven’t yet heard, it also has the same title. Why it was necessary to construct a remake of this particular film is anyone’s guess.
Still, it was alright, so it wasn’t a terrible idea. After watching, however different, this was on the same level as the first. Buddy movies that work well are entertaining, but sometimes we should just leave well enough alone.
“BlackBerry” is a dramatization inspired by real people and events that took place in Waterloo, Ontario, while creating the BlackBerry phones. ​

This is the perfect movie for Mother’s Day and for the grandmother’s out there who, if they want to go to the theater with the family, often have only the choice between watching a Marvel movie or an action flick, or something for the even younger ones. These types of movies don’t generally interest grandmothers quite as much as a movie like this, but they’ll often go anyway. Hint. Hint.

I’ll be honest. You may not love this film as much as the first Guardians. That’s a tough one to beat. The first one had a killer soundtrack. “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3” has an excellent soundtrack, but the music in the first one was exceptional.
See this at a comfy theater. It’s two and a half hours long, but you won’t get bed sores and it isn’t tiring.​ Rocket (Bradley Cooper) is listening to Radiohead’s “Creep,” which starts things off and sets the tone.
But, I’m sure you didn’t come here to see if the music held up to the first two of the trilogy.

This title may have you thinking you’re in the neighborhood of watching a movie about people being sweet as they pass one another on the street and such.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. IMMEDIATELY, I thought I was in a Quentin Tarantino or Edgar Wright film. I looked up at the sign to make sure I hadn’t wandered into the wrong theater. So, get any loving strangers’ ideas out of your head. ​

Judy Blume was everyone’s “other” mother. Well, she was when I was growing up, that is. Her stories fit perfectly into our lives, explaining to us, in a way the school hadn’t yet, what was happening with our bodies, why it was happening and if everyone was going through the same things. We didn’t want to approach our parents about certain topics or thoughts, especially concerning matters of our attraction toward the opposite sex. Judy Blume made it alright to hold that opinion. What her characters went through, we went through.
She was read by both boys and girls. We needed her voice. We needed her guidance.​
