Jessy and Nessy (2020)
Artistic & Fun
We stumbled upon Jessy & Nessy one day while browsing Prime videos. My three year old daughter loved it from the very beginning. Using a very nicely done form of mixed media artwork, they do a great job of making it feel like stop animation, which I happen to love.
My daughter really enjoys singing along to the songs and the storylines are simple enough for her to follow all the way through. One important aspect which makes this a slam dunk for me as a parent is that the characters are not annoying! There are too many preschool level shows out there that absolutely drive me crazy, but this one is quite pleasant. Jessy is a cute little kid who really does a great acting job. In my opinion, kids tend to over act at her age, especially in preschool shows, but Sophie Feldman comes across very natural. Nessy is also a fantastic character with a charming accent and a fun personality. They really are a combo that works well.
This is an overall great show, and I hope they put out new content soon!
Ghostbusters (1984)
Amazingly funny!
This is one of the most classic comedies of all time. It's right up there with Back to the Future, The Money Pit, and Airplane. The perfect casting goes so well with the directing, music, settings, and storyline. Among other things, however, the one thing that sets Ghostbusters apart from other comedies is the hilarious dialog. It is simply genius. The first time I heard Rick Moranis' (Louis) description of Gozer the Traveler I was in tears!! There are so many lines from this movie that I quote on an everyday basis it sometimes frightens me.
Ulimately, the way that I know that this is one of those movies that will always rank at the top of the list, is the fact that I can watch it over and over, and never get bored with it. I have probably seen it 60 times since I was younger and its still on my top 5 comedy list.
