I've been going to a bunch of movies lately so I thought I'd talk a bit about the ones out right now that I've seen. With that said, here we go!
Brave
I've seen it twice already and really enjoyed it! It's Pixar's first time doing a fairy tale, their first time with a princess, and their first time with a female lead, but I think they pulled it off rather nicely. The plot isn't anything too extravagant, it's more just a fun, heartwarming, family film. The animation and visual aspects are beautiful! And there's lots of humour and adorableness in it! <3 <3 <3 <3
People Like Us
It was alright, a touching story based on true events sort of thing. I enjoyed it but it's not one I'd want to watch over and over. <3 <3
Snow White and the Huntsman
Another one I've seen twice, I kind of love it. It's so well done, and visually captivating. A lot of the creative team is the same as the live action Alice in Wonderland so it has a similar look and feel, just minus the Tim Burton. I was a little worried about it having Kristen Stewart but I actually didn't hate her in it. I'm not saying I liked her, but I didn't hate her as much as I normally do. And CHRIS HEMSWORTH AND SAM CLAFLIN. That is all. <3 <3 <3 <3 <
Dark Shadows
I'm not too sure what to say. It has the Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, and Helena Bonham Carter trio but was even a bit strange for them. Vampires and magic and the '80s were an interesting combination but a strange one. For the most part I did enjoy it though, and even if I'm not too sure what to make of it I'm glad I saw it. <3 <3 <3
The Avengers
Yeah it's been out for a while but it's still in theatres and all I have to say is GO SEE IT! NOW! DROP EVERYTHING AND RUN TO THE THEATRE!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
What movies has everyone else been seeing and what are your thoughts on them?
DFTBA,

Really.. You liked Snow White and the Huntsman? *shakes head*
ReplyDeleteTHE AVENGERS IS AMAZING. JOSS WHEEDON.
The Amazing Spider-man. I saw it last night. SO GOOD.
I saw Avengers in theaters twice. It was just as good if not better the second time-- and it's a rare movie that does that for me. Also just saw the new Spiderman and loved it!
ReplyDeleteAnd speaking of Joss Whedon, Caitlin-- I recently watched Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog for the 5th time. And then I watched every single episode of Firefly and then I watched Serenity. Good stuff. :)
Overall I did quite enjoy Snow White, I mean there were definitely parts I didn't like (such as Kristin Stewart, and I wasn't a huge fan of the queen or her brother, none of them really interested me and the acting was so-so, etc) but I found enough in it that I liked to make up for what I didn't. Like I loved the score, the cinematography, and the overall look and feel of the movie. I also was really interested in this adaptation of it because I'm so used to Disney's version where the Huntsman has so little to do with anything and yet plays such a crucial role, so I really enjoyed how they put nearly as much focus on him as Snow White in this film and gave him a story and a role.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited for Spiderman so I'm glad you both thought it was good! Hopefully I'll see it this week but I've got stuff going on nearly everyday :S
Speaking of Firefly, I started watching it! It's so good and Joss Whedon-y and wonderful! :)
FIREFLY :D Oh gosh. Don't get me started on Serenity.. I'll end up ruining it for someone, again.
