Scoob! (2020)
Post-modern feminist ideology, not a child movie
The movie starts off very well by introducing each of our childhood heros in a positive way.
However, it rapidly derails by depicting all main male characters as weak and incompetent, incapable of getting something done without their strong (and partly diverse) female companions. The women even talk about "toxic masculinity", so how can this be a child movie?
Fred starts out to be a strong and intelligent protector in a knight suit in the beginning, but after the introduction he is continuously being ridiculed. The same is true for the super hero Blue Falcon. The movie tries to convince you that it is about "friendship", but in reality it is about "toxic feminism".
If you do not want your children to be brainwashed by this ideology, you should rather skip this and watch the original series.
Dior et moi (2014)
Interesting pseudo-documentary, but...
... how can you make this film center around this more than unsympathetic Raf Simons? It is painful to see this guy imagining him to be the 21st century version of C. Dior.
White Bird in a Blizzard (2014)
Very dramatic thriller
Although there is not much tension during most of the first 80% of this movie, I would classify it as a thriller. The end is very interesting and stays surprising even to those, who saw some of it coming.
Despite the first big portion of the movie being a family drama, it is far from boring neither. There is something for everyone: the frustrated house wife, who had expected so much more from life. The coming-of-age teenager discovering lustfully her sexuality. And the somehow disconnected father, who seems to make it all work, but spends far too much time at work.
Definitely not a boring a flick and looking at all the reviews a good proof that taste is very subjective and depends on your whole life situation. I do not think that I would have enjoyed this movie when I was a 22-year old single University student, but having my own family now makes the story more relatable.
