THE AWAITED REVIEW OF PADDINGTON!

The awaited review of Paddington!!!













All in all, Paddington was a great, cute, funny, family movie.  It's about a bear who visits London, England after living all his life in 'Darkest Peru.' You can imagine how overwhelmed he is!

"London!"

While he is in London, he stays with the Browns, a comical family who made us all laugh so hard!

Mr. Brown,  Mrs.Brown, Jonathon, and Judy.


But danger soon finds the little bear in the shape of a evil taxidermist with one reason in life: To kill Paddington!

Millicent was played by Nicole Kidman.

 My only (small) complaint about the movie is that Millicent's lines and character were a little over done, but that just made us laugh more at it!

Living internationally, I know a lot of people from the UK. So watching this movie I found the British humor even more hysterical.

Paddington and one of his 'antics.'

Something my dad said at the end of the movie that I thought was so funny was that, since he didn't really like the actress Nicole Kidman, he enjoyed her predicament at the end of the movie. I just thought that was funny... :)


Coming up soon, a review of the BBC drama of North & South.....

We DON'T Have Running Water!!!

Image
  With water swishing in the buckets on our heads and dripping down our arms, Tristan and I walked unsteadily down the rocky, dirt road leading to our backyard. Kicking the gate open, we trudged up to our 'reservoir' (a burnt-mustard, fifty-gallon plastic container).  Then we slowly poured our prize inside. Why? Because right now we don't have running water! Our routine has looked really funny the past few days: the water kicks on for literally five minutes and everyone runs around like maniacs filling empty buckets and washing their hair. So trust me, we all stink . This is how we take baths right now....  Doing the dishes and washing our hands is hard enough, but doing laundry is especially difficult. We have to manually pour water into the machine until it works. Drinking water is pretty much taken care of. We have a big bucket next to our sink filled with clean water. If needed, we just buy bottled-water or boil tap water for 6 minutes, although this is our las

MCFARLAND USA REVIEW

Image
Jim White & family McFarland USA 's story was one I wasn't prepared for when I first watched it. Truth be told, I was surprised at almost every turn. Jim White is fired from his position as a football coach; he moves to McFarland with his wife and two daughters. McFarland is a primarily Latino town and  very poverty stricken. When White sees incredible talent in his high school pupils, he decides to start a track team. At first the team isn't serious, but he pushes them to the top. They call him 'Blanco', Spanish for 'White.' Competing.  The team     The seven boys he trains soon rise in the ranks. The family gets their real scare on the oldest daughter Julie's quinceanera (15th birthday) when the parade of cars with her inside is attacked by gang members who are targeting the driver of her car, one of their former members. The story of McFarland was based on an actual story of an actual town of the actual peop
