The Devil Wears Prada

Twenty years after making their iconic turns as Miranda, Andy, Emily and Nigel–Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci return to the fashionable streets of New York City and the sleek offices of Runway Magazine in 20th Century Studios’ “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” the eagerly awaited sequel to the 2006 phenomenon that defined a generation.

Q-tips say: The Devil Wears Prada 2‘ isn’t as clever or biting as the original. But for mature viewers, it could be a nostalgic romp.

Was a little slow at first.. but it quickly picks up!! epic watch for a fan of the original. Devil wears Prada.. I absolutely love the fact that they kept the original cast after all these years- 20 years! They wouldn’t have been the same experience if the characters we know and love the same ones represented in the sequel. Love the old guy.

Pressure

In the tense 72 hours before D-Day, and with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance, PRESSURE follows General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Captain James Stagg as they face an impossible choice–launch the largest and most dangerous seaborne invasion in history or risk losing the war altogether.

Q-tips say: Yes, we did enjoy Pressure. Brendan Fraser and Andrew Scott are just as fierce as the storms in Pressure, an intense D-Day drama that sharply captures a pivotal, life-stakes moment in history. Did appreciate that they show the actual battle on the beach and not just take the shortcut of them hearing what happened in the radio room.

I Will find you

A father imprisoned for his son’s murder receives evidence suggesting his child may be alive, compelling him to escape and uncover the truth. Netflix

Q-tips say: Was ok but not everyone might enjoy it. Recommend watching if you like suspense movies. Might have you on the edge of the seat and just when I thought you had it figured out there was another twist in the story.

Obsession

After breaking the mysterious “One Wish Willow” to win his crush’s heart, a hopeless romantic finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price.

The critics loved it.

Q-tips say: The dumbest movie we ever have watched.

Its massively overrated. Mrs. Q says: Reasons I did not like it:

The Dead Cat, No character development, The Screaming, The Ending & Why did no one in Nickis life ever question her behavior?

Little house on the prairie

The Ingalls of Wisconsin make a new life on the Kansas frontier.

Q-tips say: Yes, we are enjoying it.

A family just quietly battling the prairie alone might get repetitive pretty quickly but the relationships with the people around them are what give the story its warmth.

The Sheep Detectives

In this witty, new breed of mystery, George (Hugh Jackman) is a shepherd who reads detective novels to his beloved sheep every night, assuming they can’t possibly understand. But when a mysterious incident disrupts life on the farm, the sheep realize they must become the detectives. As they follow the clues and investigate human suspects, they prove that even sheep can be brilliant crime-solvers. Prime video.

Q-tips say: YES, we did enjoy The Sheep Detectives.

Very entertaining movie and loved how the sheep talk to each other. Didn’t expect who the killer was, but it was a great movie for the whole family. There is also underlying tenderness and melancholy that elevate the film beyond the conventional family entertainment genre. The sheep aren’t a herd of interchangeable creatures. They each have names, given to them by George, and distinct personalities. And not all is sweetness and light.
