The Secret Garden

 Rated: PG

Runtime: 1 hour 39 minutes

Release Date: August 7, 2020

Director: Marc Munden

Starring: Colin Firth, Julie Walters, Dixie Egerickx

     In this rendition of the classic novel by Frances Hodgson Burnett, Mary Lennox (Egerickx) is an orphan girl from india, who after losing her parents to cholera, is sent to live with her uncle, Archibald Craven (Firth), and his housekeeper Mrs. Medlock (Walters). While there, she discovers that his estate holds many secrets, including a key to a garden held locked for years by her uncle, after his wife had passed away.

    It's pretty good movie, compared to the 1993 version starring Maggie Smith (McGonagall from Harry Potter). But it does have a What Dreams may come feel to it in some scenes. Click here for my review of that movie. But overall, It think it's a good enjoyable film. Parents, this film is family-fun for everyone! I think your kids will enjoy it.

Final Grade:

A+

 Release Date: September 18, 2020

 Director: Sung-ho Hong

          In this parody of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Seven princes that have been turned in dwarfs, seek the red shoes of a lady in order to break the spell, but it won't be easy. It's actually a really enjoyable film, there's a hidden message which I believe is seeing the inner beauty in others. Parents, I think this is an enjoyable for the whole family! Now, you may or may not agree with me on that. I rented this movie from redbox, but it's also available on streaming services.

Final Grade:

B
