The world will remember the music of Adam Schlesinger who wrote the Title track of this film and so many others. He died April 1st, 2020.
Zero to hero. Christmas Flint is a tiny girl with a dream. She wants to win the scout medal and be chosen to send her voice out into space on the ‘77 Golden Record. Since her Mama died and became a star, Christmas has been trying to find a way to reach her. So, she bands together a crew of outcasts to win merit badges and perform at the final competition; the prize is a spot for their voices on that Record!
McKenna Grace, Jim Gaffigan, Voila Davis, and Allison Janney lead this perfect cast of misfits to gold.
It’s a rare film that you rewatch knowing that you’ll cry. This one sits up there with family films that I’ll always love, quotable comfort films that changed us and will be overplayed because they heal us somehow, films like “The Kid” and “Hook” and “Inside Out.” Add Troop Zero to the list and be inspired (even through that wild, uncomfortable end scene).

THE FAVOURITE (2018) movie review
Director Yorgos Lanthimos created the most uncomfortable, modern, mean, and sexually charged period palace story you’ve likely ever seen. This throws layers and layers of proper Elizabethan costuming over a simple survival of the fittest – all competing for the favor of one crazed Queen.
The country at war and in uproar, yet she needs constant affirmation about her looks and attention to her needs.
Emma Stone finds herself face down in the mud and must find ways to enter the palace and stay in the good graces of those in power or station above her. Rachel Weisz basically runs the country as confidante to the Queen, played perfectly by Olivia Colman.
Two women play the same game with very different motives, forcing a modern audience into the most modern of period pieces to ask what they would do in dire circumstances like those – save your country or save yourself?
