Antony and Cleopatra: A staging of the play filmed on a replica of the globe stage. It was helpful to watch and read at the same time but it isn't my favorite.

10 Things I Hate About You: I'm of two minds about this movie, there are some great parts and it's a fun modern adaptation of Taming of the Shrew, but it's also a high school movie with accurate high school swearing and other foul language.

I.Q.: I watched this movie on the recommendation of a friend and the coincidence that it was also streaming on Prime. It's an alright movie but I wasn't overwhelmed by it. The premise is that Albert Einstein has a niece who's engaged to a chump and this mechanic falls for her. Einstein and his egg head buddies decide to bring the two together.

Cinderella: This is the more recent, live action, disney movie. I'm not quite sure how I felt about this movie, there were things that I really enjoyed, like Helena Bohnam Carter as the fairy godmother, but there was a lot that I just was not a fan of. I don't know if I'm just getting jade on princess movies or remakes but I wasn't blown away by the movie at any rate.

The Peanuts Movie: This was a fun family movie, that being said, it's pretty much a revamp of the peanuts specials and shows over the years.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (The Original Movie): This movie is not a cinematic gem, but it is a classic example of a 90's movie. If you like TMNT, it's worth watching at least once.

Getting to the Nutcracker: This was a very well made and fun documentary. It was fun to see both life in a ballet school and the staging of a large production of the Nutcracker.
