[Double Feature] Christopher Robin

7/8/2019

 
David: Are there any actors out there that so effortlessly portray boyish glee as Ewan McGregor? I’m a big fan of his, for many reasons, this being amongst the foremost. He somehow manages to interact...
Shannon: Oh. My. Goodness. This is literally the cutest, most sweetest movie I have ever seen. It was so cute that I just wanted to cry the whole time. I LOVED IT. Ewan McGregor stars as grown...

Shannon: I remember in elementary school when Pokemon first came out. Just like I am today, I had the mentality not to jump on the bandwagon just because my friends were doing it… alas though, I... ​Read more

[Double Features] Incredibles 2

5/10/2019

 
by David
by Shannon
David: I fell head over heels for the first Incredibles movie when I first watched it. It has continued to be one of my favorite movies, and I’ve passed on the love of it to my sons. The sequel was...
Shannon: Yay… another Disney movie to watch and review (no, that wasn’t meant to be read in a sarcastic tone, I’m actually always excited for Disney movies). This time, a sequel. I loved the...

[Double Feature] The House with a Clock in It Walls

4/12/2019

 
by David
by Shannon
David: As the years go, I appreciate more and more the freedom I had as a young boy. My parents realized that I was “older” than my age, and I was given a lot of reading material that may have been over ...
Shannon: This movie strictly reminds me of Goosebumps. I’m not sure whether it is because Jack Black is the main adult character, or if it was just filmed similarly, but still they are super...

[Double Feature] City of Ember

1/14/2019

 
by David
by Shannon
David: Sometimes movies have trouble figuring out who to market to. I think City of Ember (and probably the movie tanking at the box office right now, Mortal Engines) are examples of that...
Shannon: I was please when I first popped in this DVD into the player to see Saoirse Ronan and Bill Murray as the two stars of the film. Saoirse is most definitely one of my favorite actresses...

[Double Feature] Air Bud

1/3/2019

 
by David
by Shannon
David: When one of the DFP faithful first sent this in (indeed, the entire franchise – sorry friend, that’s not gonna happen), my heart sank. That’s because I truly didn’t feel like...
Shannon: Air Bud has always been a staple for childhoods when it comes to my generation. I’m not 28 (going on 29 oh boy) and I can still remember watching this movie many many times..

[Review] Sicilian Ghost Story

by Shannon

Against her mother’s wishes, Luna falls in love with Giuseppe. Soon after, the young boy disappears. He is kidnapped by someone who knows his father (which reminded me a lot of All the Money in the World). Luna does not take this disappearance lightly. As the film progresses, she falls harder and harder into darkness. She truly believes that the love they have will bring him back and allow her to find him.

I’m continuing last week’s Anime in Summer Wars with another film from director Mamoru Hosoda, Wolf Children. The premise is said to have come from an interaction with a mother where she stated that it was like trying to raise animals… so what if your kids were ACTUALLY part animal?

[Double Feature] Coco

by David
by Shannon
David: Coco starts off fairly quickly – Miguel wants to play music, but his family doesn’t even allow music. And despite the quickly approaching Dia de Los Muertos, Miguel is unable to...
Shannon: I've had this blu ray sitting in my movie collection since it was released. Finally, I was able to watch it for the first time and my first impressions were that it was super cute and...

[Review] A Wrinkle in Time

3/22/2018

 
Picture

by Shannon

As the movie starts off, we are shown what kind of father Chris Pine is to Meg (played by Storm Reid). How his love for science and his family keep them together. Honestly, it was really hard for me to imagine Chris Pine in this role, even though I was literally watching it with my own eyes. Well, flash forward to four years later, Meg and Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe) are meet Mrs. Which (Winfrey), Mrs. Whatsit (Witherspoon), and Mrs. Who (Kaling). And the group of them go into space to look for their father.

[Double Feature] Sky High

by David
by Shannon
David: After the heavy hitting, dramatic beats of a lot of the Academy Award nominated films, we here at DoubleFeaturePreachers thought it might be nice to do some...
Shannon: Watching this movie for the website really led me to notice that I’ve only ever seen this film when it was airing on the Disney channel. That being said, some of the scenes were still...

[Double Feature] Despicable Me 3

1/5/2018

 
by David
by Shannon
David: Despicable Me 3 came out last year, and it kind of flew into theaters and left, and I honestly can’t remember anyone really talking about it. It was just a bit of a shoulder shrug...
Shannon: This third film in the Despicable Me franchise, and hopefully the last, redeems some of what was lost in the second film, but not much. This time, Gru meets his long lost twin brother...

[Double Feature] Despicable Me 2

1/3/2018

 
by David
by Shannon
David: Ok. Here we are in day two, and we already have a sequel that destroys a lot of what made the original great. Despicable Me 2 features Gru in a settled down lifestyle with his new girls...
Shannon: There’s not a whole lot despicable about Despicable Me 2. Gru has been brought in on a top secret mission to save the world from a vaccine (or potion, whichever word you like)...

[Double Feature] The Odd Life of Timothy Green

12/18/2017

 
by David
by Shannon
David: Walt Disney may have a reputation for taking movies and making them sappy lovey, everyone-learns-a-lesson-about-themselves-fests (something that scares me to death about their...
Shannon: I’ve always wondered what this movie was actually about. Being a Disney movie, I had a feeling it would be more of a family movie, and most likely include magic. That’s exactly...

[Double Feature] Goodbye Christopher Robin

10/12/2017

 
by David
by Shannon
David: Goodbye Christopher Robin starts off with A. A. Milne (Blue) receiving a letter of obvious intent – it’s the Good-Bye in the Goodbye Christopher Robin. Milne (Domhnall Gleeson) throws a...
Shannon: Goodbye Christopher Robin tells us the story of how A.A. Milne created Winnie the Pooh, a most beloved children’s book character. He was inspired by his son’s imagination during the...

[Double Feature] Ratchet & Clank

By David
By Shannon
David: After watching some amazing, hand drawn animation in Spirited Away, I guess it’s only natural that I was going to be disappointed by the next animated film that I watched. But what is...
Shannon: For an animated movie that has some well known actors doing the voices, you’d think that I would have heard of this movie before watching it. Also, for an animated movie with well...

[Double Feature] Spirited Away

8/17/2017

 
By David
By Shannon
David: When I was a young lad, I attended a smaller private school. Because I was the son of two working parents, I sometimes attended before/after care. What do kids do in those when it’s raining...
Shannon: A 10 year old girl, Chihiro (voiced by Daveigh Chase) and her family are moving to a new home. Along the way they come across a tunnel that leads to an abandoned theme park. Her parents...

[DoubleFeature] How to Train Your Dragon 2

By David
By Shannon
David: Stop me if you’ve heard this story before – a movie comes out of nowhere to be a hit. Quickly thereafter a sequel is...
Shannon: At first, I had no clue how they would even begin to make another How to Train Your Dragon movie. Yes, I loved... ​

[Double Feature] How to Train Your Dragon

6/19/2017

 
by David

David: When I first heard of this movie, I was a little skeptical. I think the last time I had watched a movie that was slightly “dragon” related in a family friendly way was 2007’s The Water Horse...
Shannon: Immediately we are thrown into the time and land of the Vikings. Young Hiccup (voiced by Baruchel) is the son of the leader. Hiccup is different than the others though, everyone...
