Daydream4ever (6 KP) rated Beauty and the Beast (2017) in Movies
Jul 17, 2018
Being a lover of Disney movies, while this along with two other movies being my absolute favorite. Hearing they were gonna make another 'Beauty and the Beast' I was ecstatic I immediately went to theaters. I don't think I've ever payed so much attention to a movie in a long time. I usually watch a movie one, maybe two times but I have watched this to many times to count. I personally loved Emma Watson playing Belle I don't know of anyone who could fit the role better. I still don't like Gaston, but I love the movie just as much as I did the original!

Dr. Bree Mayfield-Watson is most comfortable solving chemistry problems and logically looking at things. She never signed up to find her boss murdered in a secured building and is considered the number one suspect. Who wanted him dead and why are they framing Bree?
Unlike most cozy mysteries, Bree is not your average amateur detective doing illogical and impulsive things to solve the mystery. Refreshingly, she uses her brain, keen sense of observation, and trusty notebook to analyze the facts and formulate who is the real murderer.
My favorite part was being caught up in who the potential murder was and then finding out I was so wrong!

Erika (17788 KP) rated Thor (2011) in Movies
Sep 7, 2018
I saw this movie last week in IMAX 3D for the Marvel Studios 10 film festival.
I remember really disliking the film when I saw it the first time. For two reasons, one, I thought Hemsworth was super corny in parts of the movie as Thor, and two, his EYEBROWS. I get distracted easily, so when something is off, it bothers me throughout the film.
This is a fairly normal origin story of Thor. The visual effects are stunning, and seeing it in 3D was really cool, especially when they were on Jotunheim.
My favorite parts were most scenes with Hiddleston's Loki, and Dennings' Darcy.

A Train Wreck
I think its important to mention that this is one of my favorite book series. If I hadn't had already read the books before seeing this movie maybe I would have thought it was a little better. Probably not but you never know. As someone who loves the book series I have to say this is absolutely one of the worst movie adaptations I have ever seen. The story line was off, the characters were completely different, and at some points it was so bad it was laughable. My biggest hope for this series is that eventually a studio will pick it up and actually do it justice.
B (62 KP) rated The 10th Kingdom - Season 1 in TV
Nov 2, 2018
First of all, being a fan of BBC period dramas, I absolutely love the genre of the TV mini-series. And The 10th Kingdom is one of my all-time favorite. I remember watching it our recorded copy on video cassette (hard to believe its that old ?) as a child and I'm pretty sure that it was the source of my fascination with fairy tales. The special effects are actually surprisingly good. It's a pity that it took them so long to make this first series because it would have been interesting to learn about some of the other kingdoms in the second "book." Overall, such an amazing cult classic ?

All over the place. (1 more)
Rings hollow
The best storyline in X-men canon, and they crapped all over it
Don't know where to start with this. If you're going to dig up the greatest story in the X-men canon, you need to bring it. And this film brought nothing. It all felt so hollow. The characters didn't ring true. The story didn't ring true. It was all over the place with many nonsensical choices throughout. I was so excited for my favorite storyline and was disappointed more than I can put into words. This political and social propaganda piece missed the mark by miles.
Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Dream Daddy: A Dad Dating Comic Book in Books
Dec 31, 2019
I received this copy of Dream Daddy from Netgalley and Oni Press in exchange for an honest review.
I'm not gonna lie. Having played the game, I knew I would love this book.
It has 5 stories each featuring The Dad's from the game.
The art is different for each story, a touch I really appreciated.
I think my favorite was "Dungeons and Daddies" which did a fantastic job of exploring the characters in an unfamiliar setting.
I don't think you would need to play the game to enjoy this book.
Just wrap yourself in the fluffy blanket of sweetness that is this book and enjoy!

Dont you feel bad for Cinderella, i mean i did.
"Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo", is my favorite song from this movie.
A classic animation film.

Erika (17788 KP) rated Untouchable (2019) in Movies
Nov 24, 2019
Untouchable is a documentary film about Harvey Weinstein being a dirtbag. The whole situation is still highly disturbing, and the fact that the harassment/abuse was being covered up is disgusting. I found it interesting that people had been reporting it, and nothing was done.
My favorite interviewee was the former assistant that found out about it via court docs delivered to the office and up and quit. There were other assistants that quit too. I like people with conviction to stand up. But, too bad they were all paid off/signed noon-disclosure agreements.
It's an interesting documentary, though it is completely disturbing,

Andrew Koltuniuk (756 KP) rated Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) in Movies
Apr 10, 2020
My sisters and I are going through the whole of the MCU right now so I'm on a roll. Alright. Captain America: The First Avenger was the first film I saw in the MCU. This has to be my fourth or fifth time watching it. This is one of my favorite movies of all time. And it's in my top MCU films for sure. I absolutely love the heart and soul of this film. I love watching it and I'll watch it any day of the week. Chris Evans made this movie what it is and without him, the MCU would not be as strong as it is.
