I saw the 1963 Cleopatra (the one with Liz Taylor) on the big screen recently and I gotta say...

HOT. DAMN.

My experience with live action adaptations of this period of history is limited to this movie, HBO's Rome and Astérix: Mission Cléopatre, all of which are excellent in their various ways.

Cleopatra cost about 42 millions to make and every single ( Read more... )

I took my mom to see Ballerina this afternoon. I enjoyed it greatly! It gives great Paris and Félicie is adorable.

I saw it in VF (French ub), because I was under the impression this was the original version. It is not, which actually made me feel better about some nitpicky stuff.

( Nitpicks )

Non-spoilery version: I saw the movie in 2D VOSTFR. I enjoyed it greatly.

Anything else I have to says goes under a cut.

I went to see Moana in 3D VF (ie: in French).

It was very cute! I enjoyed it greatly.

The animation was fantastic -- the CG for the water's amazing -- and I quite liked the songs, but my favourite thing about the movie was Vaiana/Moana. SHE IS THE CUTEST AND THE BEST. And her drive for the sea and to go beyond the horizon -- I feel you, girl.

I went and watched Les Animaux Fantastiques (in English: Fantastic Beasts and where to find them) in VOSTFR 2D yesterday ( Read more... )

I saw it with a group of friends and on either side of me were a Steve/Bucky shipper and a Steve/Tony shipper, which was an interesting experience. They each walked out of the cinema with a new appreciation for each other's ship. I walked out ( Read more... )

I saw Deadpool. It's very much a "for people who like this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing that they like". I am a person who likes this sort of thing! I liked this movie a lot. It was clearly made by people who really enjoyed working on it and it was often hilarious. Would reccomend, as long as the trailer is your kind of thing ( Read more... )

So I saw Spotlight with the rest of the triumvirate today. It was very good!

It reminded me a bit of The labyrinth of silence with the way it handled the sensitive subject matter very gracefully.

It's a pretty hard hitting movie. I was suprised by how much narrative weight was given to Rachel McAddams' character, as the trailer made it look like it ( Read more... )

So I saw La Guerre des Étoiles: Le Réveil de la Force again. You may know this better at Star Wars: The Force Awakens. French movie rebranding strikes again ( Read more... )
