I have a lot of problems with the plot surrounding the tween son. The teen babysitter is not great either. But the twist is well done and Jacob/Hannah is truly sweet.

Little Miss Sunshine 2006
A friend, a quirky friend I wish I still knew, once described this movie as the perfect love story.
It's about a bunch of people who can't do any of the things they want to and the other people who love them anyway. Life is messy and that's okay. That's how it's supposed to be.
Also, I love the soundtrack.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny 2023
I have no idea what this movie is about. Obsolescence? Grief? Destiny? That one's in the title I guess.
The plot is seriously "Nazis are bad", which is true but not a plot. Anything else that might be a plot was stolen from Tomb Raider which is some kind of inception given how much Lara Croft owes to Indiana Jones.
There are all the pieces of an Indiana Jones story but they do not make a coherent picture and none of the threads go anywhere. A lot happens but none of it matters. Is Indy back? 🤷♀️
tldr; I miss Cate Blanchett.

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania 2023
Janet Van-Dyne supremacy!
This one is weaker than the other two— more of an action film, not as fun, and while the family dynamics are there, they don’t drive the storyas much. But Michelle Pfeiffer shines and Jan is brilliant and audacious and THE Marvel hero. I love her. Jonathan Majors chews the scenery and the Kang and Jan revelation scene is the strongest in the film. Just excellent emoting in a superhero film. All the stars are for them.
