The House with a Clock in Its Walls

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) Hey, kids! Let’s watch the new Eli Roth film! Not something most parents would say, eh? But The House with a Clock in Its Walls is a kid movie, so it’s okay…I think. I can see why Roth was drawn to this […]

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Feb 15, 2020 at 4:49pm PST Gary Oldman just makes every film better, doesn’t he? I mean, Bram Stoker’s Dracula notwithstanding, he is AMAZING. Is it totally out of line to say that I think Sirius Black is sexy? I think […]

It Chapter Two

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Dec 23, 2019 at 3:34pm PST Bill Hader is a National Treasure. His portrayal of the grown Richie “Trashmouth” Tozier was the glue that held this film together. Not to say that it was falling apart by any means, but the […]

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

  View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Sep 17, 2019 at 6:50pm PDT Chamber of Secrets? That’s what I used to call my vajayjay back in college… Thank you folks, I’ll be here all night. My children absolutely appreciate any and all mentions of their former abode and […]

Re-Animator

Pet Sematary

A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Sep 2, 2018 at 1:08pm PDT Lily had been begging to see this freaky ass movie for weeks. It’s Sunday afternoon, gross and rainy – so why not? Pet Sematary was the very first Stephen King book I ever read – the summer between 6th and 7th grade. […]

It (2017)

A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Aug 17, 2018 at 6:14pm PDT My procrastination in watching the new It was twofold. First off, It is my favorite Stephen King book and Tim Curry’s Pennywise holds a special place in my heart as the scariest movie villain EVER. If I am scrolling through the guide […]

The Silence of the Lambs

A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Jul 24, 2018 at 12:49pm PDT I am now entering the third phase of my children’s film education. Phase 1 was the off-the-wall kid stuff, like the 60s Batman and Howard the Duck. Phase 2 was the slightly more PG-13 and adultish stuff – everything from Army of […]

The Parent Trap (1961)

A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Jun 17, 2018 at 7:32pm PDT I normally don’t watch BYUTV, but when they’re playing The Parent Trap, then why not? I didn’t intend to drag the whole family into it, I was just trying to be annoying…but they all got sucked into it. These children of mine […]

Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates

Several months ago, I caught Lily watching this movie. I snatched the remote QUICK. I’d forgotten about it until I was chillin’ with my friend Rachel. She lured me in with the promise of a glorious merkin…and y’all know how I feel about merkins. A post shared by Lara (@knobbygirl) on Jan 29, 2018 at […]
