Movies
I've been watching movies lately. Let's go in order shall we?
Astro Boy. While initially skeptical of a western treatment of the classic Osamu Tezuka classic, it's truly amazing. A lovable cast of both robots and humans, it has a surprising depth and a scene that if you're unfamiliar with the classic series, Dr. Tenma's son Toby was killed in an accident, prompting the creation of Astro as a replacement son. Instead of going the original route of Tenma being a few fruitloops short of a entire bowl they created an original opponent, a war-mongering president seeking re-election through force. Definitely good with surprisingly dark incidents.
The Princess and the Frog. While it has a classic Disney tone as it goes back to the original musical roots, it works so well being a new princess movie. The main character of Tiana is quite the energetic young woman in a period peace. The story takes the original tropes and gives it a swift kick in the head.
17 Again. While not perfect, it's definitely an amazing story. it's about turning your life around at any age. It's a lot of fun. Lots of dysfunction and a huge pile of hilarious repercussions.
