My Little Pony: The Movie

My Thoughts:

-    Gnome was pretty excited to see this, and she loved it.

-    I thought it was okay. 

-    There was WAY too much Pinkie Pie. The showcased her a lot more than the others, besides Twilight. 

-    I thought the movie was too long. I got a little bored in the middle, and I was wondering when the show would end.

-    There were too many songs. I love music and everything, but there were too many songs.

-    I wasn't a fan of the CG animation style. Twilight's face moved weird.

-    I did laugh a few times. There is a lot of humor. 

The Wind Rises

My Thoughts:

-    I can't express in words how heartbreaking it is that this is Miyazaki's last film. He certainly was a master storyteller, and I will treasure his movies forever.

-    As usual, Studio Ghibli provided a breathtakingly beautiful film. The art is unlike anything else. The environment, the characters, the buildings, etc. It is so stunning.

-    This was a very somber movie. It had happy beautiful moments, but it also had a lot of heartache.

-    The story was a very lovely love story. It was very touching and very beautiful.

-    I can't stop using the word beautiful for this movie. It is what it is!

-    The characters were amazing. I loved each and every one. Like all of Miyazaki's characters, they have become dear to me.

-    Everything in this movie was so subtle and beautiful, from the music, to the characters, to the artwork, and especially the story. Only Miyazaki could create something like this.

-    The music was amazing! I love Joe Hisaishi's work!

-    Please don't retire Miyazaki!! PLEASE!! I don't want to live in a world where you aren't drawing and creating movies. 

Into the Woods

My Thoughts:

-    This was a good adaptation of the play. I enjoyed it.

-    I usually only watch the first half of the play. Everything ends nice, and all the good songs are done. Plus the whole play is super long. I was glad they shortened the last half. They cut out quite a bit. 

-    The cast did amazing! Everyone was perfect for their role. I didn't know Chris Pine and Emily Blunt could sing. Red Riding Hood is my favorite.

-    I laughed a lot. The humor seemed magnified in this movie. It was great. 

-    I kinda wished they'd cast Bernadette Peters as the witch, but Meryl Streep did good.

-    Loved Johnny Depp as the wolf!

-    The music was great, the scenery was great, I'd recommend seeing it.
