For our family, transitions can be some of the most difficult times of day – you’re not alone. Time can be so abstract for young children who can only lean into their internal and subconscious urges. As adults, we know time based on our circadian rhythm, the wristwatch or phone in our hand, or the sky. Even for us, time can slip away. Just this week I reminded two members of my extended family that indeed it was Tuesday instead of Monday. With our calendars, charts, and careful planning, we can still feel as if time is unpredictable and cunning. The best moments of our lives seem to be so...…For our family, transitions can be some of the most difficult times of day – you’re not alone.

The casting for this is superb! Front and centre we have Karen Gillan as Sam, an assassin who has to go against orders so she can protect 8-year-old Emily (Chloe Coleman).

[Header: LaKeith Stanfield as Ben Matthias | Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures] “This place is haunted!” 2023’s Haunted Mansion may be the second adaption of the Disney theme park ride of the same name but it is its own movie and bears no connection to 2003’s The Haunted Mansion other than the fact they’re both inspired by the same thing. This means that you don’t have to be familiar with the original to watch this new story. Right off the bat, I have to mention how good the cast of Haunted Mansion is. Some steal the show more than others but they were all so good to watch.

[Header: Maslow Entertainment, Umbrella Entertainment, Ahi Films] “I let you in.” I can certainly see why this movie was so talked about when it first came out (and to an extent, it still is now) and I can also understand why I kept seeing so much praise for it. The plot is kind of ridiculous or at least it starts out that way. A bunch of teenagers create a new party game in which an embalmed hand is used to conjure spirits in order to create a new kind of high. Like with any horror movie, this eventually goes too far with some pretty extreme consequences. From this point on, there will be...…[Header: Maslow Entertainment, Umbrella Entertainment, Ahi Films] “I let you in.” I can certainly see why this movie was so talked about when it first came out (and to an extent, it still is now) and I can also understand why I kept seeing so much praise for it.
