DECEMBER MOVIES
Aaron Pierre that’s Mufasa
The internet was broken because the Aaron Pierre that’s Mufasa chant from the spirit tunnel at the Jennifer Hudson show went viral. Many eyes were on Aaron from his recent movie Rebel Ridge on Netflix when he displayed his martial arts talent. Aaron has a history in theater and has been acting for a while, however 2024 is considered his break-out year. Debuting as the lead role in Mufasa, a well told story about Simba’s father amplifies the buzz and sensation around him. During an interview Kelly’s Clarkson was blushing and completely distracted in her fetish for his eyes. Overall, the combination of a winning smile, and well thought out answers in his interviews plus muscles are causing ladies and men to lose their minds. Including myself. Aaron is 30 hopefully we will be seeing him for a while. He plays deep and profound rolls, which I learned when I went back to see some of his earlier work. Brother the film I went back to watch, broke my heart. he also played Malcom X in “Genius MLK/X”. Which is on my watch list. He will be the next Green Lantern in 2026.
SONIC 3
It was not fair that Mufasa and Sonic 3 came out on the same day. We went to see Mufasa a day early and made room to see Sonic 3 on opening weekend. Jim Carrey did not disappoint being as crazy and talented as we rely on him to be. Additional characters were introduced letting us know that there will be a Sonic 4.
Tyler Perry’s movie, The Six Triple Eight starring Kerry Washington received rave reviews and positive feedback from the community. The story was about how Charity Adams and her soldiers. How they carried out the impossible mission of sorting through millions of pieces of mail for delivery to soldiers during WWII. The living conditions were deplorable, they faced racism and scrutiny.

Visiting Massanutten
This was my first time visiting Massanutten. I have heard about it many times over the years. We attended a birthday celebration there. The focus of the day was snow tubing. It was labor intensive activity. My boots did not have enough traction and I feel getting my tube. if you can wear boots with traction. Issa had a blast ,and I would go back again. My family stayed at a huge Air BNB with several patios and lots of land to see the night stars.
