It's not quite a Christmas movie, but it is a winter movie, and a damn good one, with quite the heartwarming ending. The graphics were beautiful, despite the CGI, which I'm still getting used to. The characters were great, and the story flowed very well. It all hinged on the fact that Anna and Elsa's parents were terrible parents, but that's ( Read more... )

I can't believe it's been over a year since I started this blog. I can't say I've gotten very far in that time, or that I've written many posts, but all the same, it has been quite the year. In the near future, I'm planning on writing up reviews of a few movies I saw fairly recently, but have not yet written up reviews for. In the meantime ( Read more... )

Another movie I hadn't gotten around to watching until recently. Unlike Hunchback, which I had heard consistently described as awesome, except for those gargoyles, I had heard very mixed reviews of Anastasia. Some panned it as a anachronistic mess of a Disney rip off, while others loved it, despite its flaws. I found myself enjoying it greatly, ( Read more... )

This is one of those movies that I really should have seen, but hadn't until very recently, and I must say, it was amazing, except for one little thing... From watching it, I have concluded that it is two movies shoved into one. The first is dark, complex, and probably not for children. The second is a lighthearted and comedic children's movie ( Read more... )

I walked into this movie against my will, expecting one of the many soul-less pre/sequels that the children's movie industry has been coming up with of late. Instead, I found commercials (not just the usual previews) and a movie that managed to surprise me, in a good way.

[Warning: Spoilers Ahead]I must admit, I enjoyed Monsters University. I can't say I loved it, but it ( Read more... )

This is just an observation of mine that I've been thinking about, it's a bit unusual, but hear me out ( Read more... )

Part 1: The Movie

As you probably know by now, I have a tendency to over think things They Might Be Giants is a parody of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, a comedy that came out in 1971. It's about Justin Playfair, a man who thinks he's Sherlock Holmes. I recently saw the movie, and have been thinking about it ever since, trying to figure out how ( Read more... )

I don't watch many movies, despite my absurdly long to watch list, but I watched this one. The premise sounded interesting, a world based on video games, and I was not disappointed. It was a great movie! The video game mechanics were incorporated well, the characters were interesting, with understandable motives, and the twist ending caught me by ( Read more... )

There are many reasons that I don't watch most adaptions of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I'd say this is the largest one. I suppose it's because Holmes's character is rarely destroyed to this extent, he is the main character, after all, and there are certain things everyone knows about him, wrong as they may be - "Elementary, my dear Watson ( Read more... )
