Hocus Pocus: This movie is considered a Halloween classic, most of my friends grew up watching it. This was my second time seeing it. I don't know if you have to grow up watching it to truly love it but I don't love it. There are amusing and entertaining parts but something about it just doesn't sit right with me, especially as a kids movie. It is better watching it with a group of people who love it.

Casper: Kinda the same story as above, although I don't know if it is the same level of a classic. It was okay but I have no real interest in seeing it again.

Meet the Mormons: I really loved this movie, it was such an uplifting movie, I commented to my friend that often one can leave a theater tense or depressed even but I left this movie feeling happy. Perhaps I should give the disclaimer that I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, otherwise known as Mormons. This movie focuses on the lives and experiences of six individuals who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, people like you and me in many ways but people who are also inspiring. If you can find no other reason to see this movie, do it to see Gail Halverson, the candy bomber, he's a truly amazing man. For more on the movie see this and this. If you've ever wanted to know more about the Mormons, this is a good way to find out more, also the proceeds go to the red cross, so it's a win no matter what.
