Happily N'Ever After


As the title may suggest, this is a movie where the "Happily Ever After" stories get turned upside down!I don't think this is "Cheesy", but this movie was most likely intended for a younger audience.
My little sister was the one who wanted this move, I just stuck around so I could have new blogging material. This movie had it's laugh out loud moments, especially when Robin saw the "Handsome Prince" and asked "Is that a man?" I'm not kidding! After assuring her that he is a guy she replied "Wow, I guess the Prince is a drag queen!" By the way, he wasn't dressed in girl clothes. It was just the hair. Another LOL moment came when Cinderella's stepsisters are arguing over who gets to use the perfume first,(each sister saying that she smells bad and thus needs perfume) then Robin came in the room right when one of the sisters shouted "I smell like a dead pig!" Though I had some laughs, I could never forget to poke some fun at a movie! The trolls looked like Smurfs on steroids wearing little rabbit ears! And of course there was (this being a fairy-tale movie and fairy-tale movies are automatically required to have romance) a cheesy romantic song in which the same line over and over again.....ugh! In case you are wondering, the line was "Do I get what I want, do I want what I get?" This line referring to the Cinderella's choice between the "Handsome" Prince who does the Prince thing (literally) by the book, and the dish washing boy who actually likes her. Blech! Big, big Ewwww! I really really hate romance mushy stuff, who doesn't?

The little mermaid



My God! I forgot how annoying Ariel's voice sounded! Oh, right......Movie review, not song review. My memory is a little fuzzy when it comes to the plot and stuff. So I will type the review as the movie plays(I put it on for my little sister Sadie). On the Storm scene......very dramatic...I like this part, the suspense! The ship is on fire and falling apart!!! I have to hand it to Disney, when they're not sexist they are pretty good! But Arel's voice continues to be super annoying! Oh God she's so girlie! Oooooh! Under the Sea! Awesome! The only song worth listening to in this movie! You know...I think this movie is the reason I think the Ocean is so awesome! The music is over, bummer. Sebastian is about to blow it(by witch I mean blab about Ariel in love with a human). He blew it. Her Dad just found her collection of people junk. Aw gees! Why does Disney have to paint parents as the bad guys? The part where the Eels tempt Ariel to come to the Ursala is pretty cool. Who ever did their voices s very talented! Maybe this movie isn't as bad as I thought. Come to think of it, I think the only thing wrong with it is the annoying voice of Ariel! The rest of the movie is great! Especially Ursala's musical number! Oh yeah, and the story is is based on an old story that was around for hundreds of years before movies! all in all this is OK. I'm not going to stoop down to making a negative review just because it's a Disney movie that's not The Lion King. By the way, sorry about the comic. I messed up with the uploading images and got that thing by mistake.

Clash of the Titans


Clash of the Titans, where do I start? First of all, this is the only movie that simultaneously felt like it was five minutes and six months. Secondly, why is Hades the bad guy? Sure he's the God of Death and the underworld, but that doesn't make him evil!!! Third, when Cassiopeia insult Aphrodite you'd think that the Goddess would take care of her herself, but noooo, Hades the GOD has to do a GODDESSES work for her. Come to think of it, none of the Gods besides Zeus and Hades actually did anything besides saying one or two things and sitting in the background. Also, the scene where they find the evil guy who tried to kill perseus when he was a baby, can someone explain how they went from a thriving forest to a desert without a tree for miles around? Finely, I know Zeus is a God, But does he really need a spacesuit?

All in all, not the best remake. Although I do think they made an improvement on the Pegasus, Medusa and the three witches.

Clue


A few years before I saw this movie I heard that It didn't do well in theaters, I feel sorry for those who agree with that firs audience.

This movie should be classified as a comedy/mystery. The beginning and the end where the funniest parts, especially the part near the end where the butler is running around the house explaining how everything happened while everybOdy is trying desperately to keep up!

Maybe the reason people didn't like it was the the multiple endings. I'm not sure how they played it in theaters but when I saw it I was given two options, to play the movie and see one randomly selected ending out of three, or to see the movie and at the end it would play all three endings in a row and say "That's what could have happened." and "This is what really happened." between endings.

All in all, this movie is excellent in my opinion, but may have been a bit to strange for those first few who saw it in theaters.

Delgo


This movie was strange yet enjoyable, almost. The plot was old and over-used, The animation was trying to be original but came off as cheesy(especially the "dinosaur people" and "Fairies") . The end was cut felt like it was cut short, and the bad guy who was stabbed in the chest with a sword lives to (unsuccessfully) attempt to kill Delgo and princess whats-her-name with an arrow.Why did the good guy who was shot in the side with an arrow die when the bad guy lived to be a bad guy? Why couldn't this movie have original ideas to go with the original(but still cheesy) animation? Somehow old plots with new graphics cheapens the whole movie even more than old plots and old graphics! It wan't even my idea to watch this. My little brother and sister were watching it and I was told there where aliens in it so I thought I could just stick around. And lastly, I can't tell if this movie was Sci-Fi or Fantasy.

Where The Wild Things Are


This movie is really,really,really weird. This is even weirder than The Imaginarium of Parnassus . I just didn't understand what the movie was saying. Was it trying to be sweet? Was there a moral? Is this movie just a make-of-it-what-you-will kind of movie? I'm competly confused! At first this movie looks like it's supposed to be sweet. Then it starts getting scary,then sweet,and back to scary. And also, I think that all of those movie writers out there are starting to run out of ideas. If you want proof, just look at some movies. First, they make Planet 51, a movie with the same plot as E.T. ( except a human is trying to go home). There are now countless movies that are just remakes of other movies or books on screen with a lot of tweaks here and there ( but the basic storyline is still someone else's idea). Now they are making Mcgruber into a movie! Come on people, show some imagination! Sure everyone likes Mcgruber, but it's a skit for crying out loud! I'm not saying don't make the movie, but don't expect any points for originality. In short, the wild things movie is weird, and imagination is dead amongst movie writers.

The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus




I didn't like the movie. Not one bit. When it wasn't boring it was confusing,and when it wasn't confusing or boring it was like some kind of twisted nightmare. I think perhaps this movie was aimed at an older audience. I don't have much else to say.

My little sister Elie says that " I didn't like the part where the man fell in a puddle and his face changed, I didn't like the part where the giant hand picked up the man and I didn't like the giant tack. I did like that daughter of the old man, the mirror and the old man." My little brother Izzy said "It wasn't as exciting as I thought." He did like "When he walked with the ladder,like stilts. And I liked the end." I didn't like anything.

As far as I know, my Mom has not seen this movie. Thus I do not expect her to post anything.
