3.5 stars.

After reading this I'm not sure I get the story title but other than that I liked this.

It was polar opposites attracting; the popular guy and the girl who's different, the loner.

I liked how they both changed. The found hope and a reason to be better, to believe that they could become better with each other in their lives. Overcoming obstacles and the past to hope for a better future.

I kind of wish the ending had been a little longer but knowing that they finally stood up for each other and that Stella was actually giving college a chance was enough for me.

Another nice YA romance from Katie McGarry.

"“I hope to build a house with my films,” Fassbinder famously said. “Some of them are the cellar, some are the walls, and some are the windows. But I hope in time there will be a house.” For me, the front door to that house is The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant. I first watched it when I was home from college one December, and my young and impressionable mind was instantly changed. The use of long takes, the meticulous, ever-moving camera direction, the outlandish costumes, the emotional cruelty, the wigs . . . Fassbinder finds beauty in despair, and despair in beauty, but ultimately knows that the real truth lies in the costume changes."

Great movie that depicts the time just before Episode 4 A New Hope. Tells an in depth tale of The Death Star and how the rebels were able to get the plans. Great background story of the Erso family and other characters to help explain that tie in.

Epic film
Wow what can I say I loved this film from beginning to start. I’ve seen wonder women series in the past and always feel wonder women wasn’t spoke about much till now. She’s amazing character and I hope there is more about her.

Slow to start and begins looking like a generic teen novel but it got interesting with some darker tones and story. Would like to have seen more character development but there is more to the series so I'd hope it happens at some point, otherwise the characters didn't really change or grow much.

I wrote this.
Elephant Shoe is a story of loss and hope; acceptance and forgiveness; family, friendship and first love.

It's a British LGBT YA with mild sexual content, moderate bad language, and some difficult themes.

Enchanted by name, enchanting by nature
This movie beautifully references classic Disney Movie Musicals.
Idina Menzel is criminally underused in this movie (lets hope after she won people’s hearts as Elsa we will get to see her more in the sequel).
Enchanted is like a beautiful tribute to all things timeless and Disney
