In November 2022. Try Netflix. The Two Popes


 

My Journal Notes

 

If you want a laugh, nostalgia, or feat in the comfort of your home - try Netflix.

Check on the following for a good watch.

 

1.   Like Father – A bit sentimental remembering times with your Dad like singing together, eating together and perhaps running to Dad for comfort. 

After she’s left the altar, a workaholic advertising executive ends up on her Caribbean honeymoon cruise with her estranged father. Kristen Bell and Kelsey Grammer star in this comedy-drama.

It brought me tears reconstructing the picture of my Dad in the present time.  Like nothing to worry about when Daddy is around because Dad’s got you.

2.   Maid in Manhattan –  Hotel staff would love this film.  It is like a dream-come-true love story or a prince falling in love with a humble maid. Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes, a senatorial candidate team up a fairy tale in Manhattan.  Wayne Wang directs the film.

Every lady’s wish is to marry a powerful man, especially if the man would love her in spite of the differences.

3.   Made of Honor -  What are friends for? Best friends forever?  True friends can never separate.  They help each other and let each other prosper and find happiness.  But there comes a time when true friends could answer your heart’s wishes for true love, as if together both of you were perfectly picked for marriage.

Made of Honor is a 2008 American romantic comedy film directed by Paul Weiland and written by Adam Sztykiel, Deborah Kaplan, and Harry Elfont.  Patrick Dempsey is Tom and Michelle Monaghan is Hannah.

If I were Hannah, of course, I’d fall in love with Tom, which in real life is unsuitable because best friends are like brothers and sisters.  But then, of one in a million, it can happen if you are both attracted to each other like gummy bears that get stuck in a hug and sugar.

 

4.   The Two Popes –

 

Jonathan Pryce and Anthony Hopkins garnered Academy Award nominations, for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively, in this movie, “The Two Popes.”

 

Moreover, McCarten's screenplay, received high praise from critics and won Hollywood’s Screenwriter’s Award. 

The movie is an immense inspiration for the clerics and for everyone, what happens and goes around, love is above all.

Says Francis to Benedict,

“The truth may be vital but without love, it is unbearable.”

“Caritas in veritate. Your book.”  (The Two Popes, Netflix)

 

5.   Falling for Christmas – A 2022 film starring Lindsay Lohan, Chord Overstreet, Jack Wagner and George Young, among others. A romantic comedy story, set in Park City, Utah.

Now nearing holiday season, with Santa around the block, the community brings everyone to good times again, celebrating Christmas.
