Wonder

My Thoughts:

-    In the book, I imagined Auggie's face looking much worse than it did in the movie. I suppose they didn't want to scare kids too much though.

-    I liked the cast. Everyone was good. Jack and Auggie were SO cute!

-    I liked that Via's boyfriend got a HUGE upgrade. He was kinda dumb in the book, and I like the movie boy better.

-    I thought this was a really great adaptation of the book. The book is more powerful, and I liked it better, but the movie was really good. It captured the essence of the story and the same feelings. 

-    I love that this story is for anyone and everyone. The message is a timeless one.

Mirror Mirror


My Thoughts:

-    The whole movie visually stunning!  The colors, the costumes, and the scenes were really well done!  If definitely looked like a fairy tale.

-    At times, the prince had a nice voice, but then at other times he sounded like Brendan Fraser.  It bugged me.  I'm not sure what to think of the prince, but I wish he had been more useful.  

-    The movie was pretty cheesy.  They were aiming for comedy, but ended up with cheesy and oh brother!  The dwarves were especially annoying at times.

-    Snow White's bandit outfit was awesome!  I want one!  

-    I hated how everyone dropped the T in Brighton's name!!  UGH!!!  They kept calling him Brigh-UN!!! It bugged me. 

-    I really liked Snow White.  She did a good job, and she was really pretty.  I thought she fit the role really well.  

-    I usually don't watch movies with Julia Roberts in them, but she was tolerable in this one.

-    This movie made me want to watch Willow!

Charlotte's Web

I didn't even know I shared a birthday with E.B. White until yesterday.  I watched this the other day and wrote a review before I knew!  How about that!  It was fate.  I think I might do an E.B. White giveaway or something.



My Thoughts:

-    I LOVE the old animated Charlotte's Web.  I used to watch it all the time.  This one wasn't as awesome.

-    Sometimes the CG was ok, and other times it was terrible!

-    Watching Charlotte build her web was cool, especially with the awesome music!

-    The music was the best part of the movie.  Danny Elfman is amazing.

-    I hated the crows!!  So dumb!

-    The narrator thing reminded me of Matilda.  

-    I LOVE the characters from the animated one, and I didn't really get attached to these characters.  Templeton, Charlotte, Wilbur, the Goose, etc:  they just weren't as good as the old ones.  

-    How did the people not see Templeton!?!?!?!  He was out in the open A LOT!  How did they not see him in the cotton candy machine!?!?!?!?  EWWW!!

-    Homer's alarm clock was creepy.

-    What a cast line up!!  I know where they spent all the money.

-    This one seemed rushed, and not as heartfelt.  I think I'm just biased cause I loved the animated one so much.  I didn't feel all the warm fuzzy emotions. 

-    How come Fern's love interest (Henry) only had 2 words in the whole movie?  Why was he there?  There really wasn't a point to his character in this.  

-    I wanted to like this, I did, but compared to one of my favorite childhood movies, it wasn't as good.  If you want to watch this story, go watch the animated version.
