    Paw Patrol Live at Home

    So most concert films cut to the audience occasionally to prove to the viewers at home that you’re not just watching a bunch of drugged up insane people in an abandoned warehouse with an applause track.

    This one… does not.

    Mad props to Universal-International for putting out what is one of the most simultaneously painfully bland and mind-bogglingly insane movies of the 1950s.

    The Secret Life of Bees

    ★★★

    I kind of wish this movie was less about the pretty white girl's typical 'rediscovering her mom' junk and more about Hudson's discovery and connection to a group of women who embody so many of her own feelings that she could never express before.

    Instead, the dramatic beats seem like less of an awakening than a mishmash. The insertion of contemporary music is jarring, and the overuse of montage covers some moments that would be better left explored. Just kind of unsatisfying overall, though it has a lot of good pieces.
