To Sir, with Love II (1996)
To Sir, but with not so much love
After almost 30 years, the sequel of "To Sir, with Love" came out. I enjoyed the first movie, so I thought the second film would bring the same emotions. I was wrong.
I feel like they tried to expose and solve to many social problems (problems that Thackeray's students faced) but failed. It was something like: look this is the tragical problem this one has, the issue is miraculously solved, everyone is happy. In addition, the other part of the story that exploits Thackeray's life is very stiff, without many explanations and, somehow, forced. I feel like they could have done way better than this.
However, on the other bright side, it was touching to see how students change for the better thanks to their teacher (something that we saw in the first movie as well).
Orion and the Dark (2024)
Cute but the ending was not it
For someone who was terrified of the dark for many years as a kid this movie touched my heart. The idea behind this film, the message it wants to transmit is great: it's the story about a boy named Orion who is scared of a lot of things, but mainly of the Dark. He gets the chance to spend 24 hours with the Dark and learns how to overcome his fears and that Dark is actually a nice guy.
The ending, though, ruined everything: time machines, including his yer unborn daughter in the fantasy story, the revival of Dark... I feel like this is no proper way to end this great story. It kinda ruined the whole message they tried to build step by step during the film.
But overall it was a nice movie and I enjoyed watching it.
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (2022)
It is one of the cutes Christmas films I have ever watched.
If you got tired of romantic stories that happened around Christmas and you want to try something new with holiday spirit than this short film might be for you, especially if you are a Marvel fan.
It contains jokes that we are already used to when it comes to Marvel, especially when it comes to The Guardians of the Galaxy, and it might have an impact on the story and on the development of the characters later on. Moreover, the songs are great and I just love how they introduce Kevin Bacon.
Many francises failed to bring the holiday spirit in their project, but, in my opinion, Marvel succeed with this one and with Hawkeye.
I recomand this movie if you want to feel the Christmas atmosphere.
