5 AWESOME MOVIES OR SERIES I'VE WATCHED RECENTLY (AND YOU SHOULD WATCH NOW)

If you know me at all, you know I'm a huge movie lover. Well today, I want to talk a bit about some of the movies I've watched recently and give them each a little review.

THE MAURITANIAN

This movie, inspired by true events, follows the story of Mohamedou Ould Slahi. He finds himself imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay without charge by the U.S. Government for years. 

The film depicts some of the heinous things he was subjected to, all while showing the political prowess of his lawyer in aiding him to get out.

I would recommend this movie for young adults and older, as it has some mature themes. I loved this movie, and really all movies, that shed a light on the issues we so rarely see in our world.

MOXIE

This film, directed by Amy Poehler, shines light on the injustices that still exist for women in today's high school scene.

Vivian is inspired to create a small magazine she calls Moxie and distribute it in the girl's bathroom. She, along with new and old friends, work together to challenge the sexist norm of their high school.

​This is a great movie for teens and young adults. I was really impressed and inspired by Amy's movie.

GINNY & GEORGIA

I am not sure if I've written about this one yet, but I really loved this new series on Netflix. Ginny is the daughter of Georgia, who is a master of manipulation. After moving yet again, Georgia begins to get involved with the mayor of the new town, while Ginny and her little brother struggle to fit in with their peers and find themselves facing the woes of normal child- and teenhood.

I really loved this series because you never really see anything coming next. Georgia is so funny, and Ginny is a typical angsty teen. Would recommend for teens and older!

WANDAVISION

I have just started watching this with Jonathan and I absolutely love it so far. Basically, it follows Wanda Maximoff and Vision, who are in a 50s/60s-era TV show. Black and white and everything. But someone is trying to reach Wanda. The plot thickens and there are enough twists and turns to make you dizzy, and I'm only on the third episode.

If you're a Marvel fan, I would suggest you watch this, as there seems to be a lot of crossover with some of the events from previous Marvel/Avenger movies. This is such a good show, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

THE FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLDIER

I've not been much of a fan of Bucky Barnes since I found out what he did to my main man Tony Stark. However, I love the character and I love the Falcon as well.

I've also just started watching this one with Jonathan, and it also has a lot of crossover with the Avengers world. So far, we know they have some knock-off, bootleg version of Captain America, but that's really as far as we've gotten.

Really think Marvel fans will enjoy it. It seems to have more action in it than WandaVision, at least so far.
