    Alphabet Movie Draft Playoffs - Round 1

    It is tough to chose between my children, but I did rank Jack Jack's list higher. I feel that foxfire chose some very strong movies to start the draft, but fell into a habit of picking trivial comedies. Jack Jack took some kid movies that he may grow out of, but also took some timeless treasures...

    S = Stranger than Fiction (2006) - PG-13 Of all the letters available, S had the most traffic. This is a fun movie I find rewatchable for the clever concept, execution, and superb ensemble cast. Will Farrell plays a fairly solemn, yet hilarious lead, in what is a funny yet dramatic role. He...

    J = The Jungle Book (2016) - PG This is a "live action" remake of a childhood favorite, and a staple in our family movie nights.
