Our Family

Welcome to our family of three! Our names are: Lucas (aged 7), Naomi (aged 11), and Andrew (aged 37.) We like to have family fun with each other by watching movies. So, we thought, why not start a film blog? We want to share our favourite movies and films with all of you guys, so we started this website. Every time we watch a movie, we will share with you all of our thoughts and feelings; as a challenge, we each will describe the movie in three words and rate it out of 10. Stay tuned!!

Back to the Future 3

Date Watched: 7th February 2020

Place Watched: Home, via YouTube

Rating: PG

This amazing movie is the finale of the epic ‘Back to the Future’ trilogy series. Starring Michael J. Fox (Marty Mcfly), and Christopher Lloyd (Dr Emmett Brown), it is an action packed film, about Doc and Marty’s last adventure together. Unfortunately, this is where the series ended, but we highly recommend it, along with its prequels.

Lucas: western, cool, slushy – 10/10

Naomi: amazing, extreme, finale – 9.5/10

Andrew: classic, retro, charming – 9/10

Overall Family Score: 9.5/10
