2016 | Biography, Drama, History
The story of the women behind John Glenn's trip into space is something of beauty and feeling. A great story of historical value. A movie filled with the lives of great women and their work at NASA. This movie is for everyone and I would recommend it.

"On the flipside, Barry Lyndon, for me, is the most beautiful film ever made, for its beauty and also for its statement about our hubris as a species, in the character of Barry Lyndon being a fool who destroys everyone around him. After that it’s really murky."

I could certainly appreciate the beauty of Wyld's writing, but I'm not sure that this book was the best one for me to start with. Take a look at my #bookreview on my blog here to find out more https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2020/08/28/scottish-shadows/

Waite Clayton writes with a raw fluidity that matches the beauty of England's Lake District to perfection in this sequel to her first novel, The Wednesday Sisters. You can read the rest of my review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/01/06/the-wednesday-sisters-sequel-story/

The Kiss
Sleeping Beauty- Filled with jealousy, the evil witch Maleficent (Eleanor Audley) curses Princess Aurora (Mary Costa) to die on her 16th birthday. Thanks to Aurora's guardian fairies (Verna Felton, Barbara Jo Allen, Barbara Luddy), she only falls into a deep sleep that can be ended with a kiss from her betrothed, Prince Phillip (Bill Shirley). To prevent Phillip from rescuing Aurora, Maleficent kidnaps and imprisons him. The good fairies are the last hope to free Phillip so that he can awaken Aurora.

So i did watch Maleficent and its sequel and i liked them, their were different, a different take on the oringal movie.

Sleeping Beauty is a classic.

Beauty and the Beast (2017)
2017 | Fantasy, Musical, Romance
I was nervous about this remake; Beauty and the Beast is my favorite animated Disney movie and I remember going and seeing it in theaters. Emma Watson is not a singer, especially in comparison with the other cast. Luke Evans was savage as Gaston, and almost made him likeable.

An enjoyable comedy about a beauty pageant in the style of a documentary. It has a great cast in their earlier years here. It has some very funny moments, quite a dark comedy overall not afraid to make fun of its self. Glad I got round to watching it.

A decent rom-com with a quite a few good laughs, a bit different to most. Jack Black is quite a funny guy and the main theme of him seeing the inner beauty only while all around him wonder what is going on is a good comedy angle.

"On the second page, Einstein outlines the principles that guide his life: “The ideals which have lighted me on my way and time after time given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been truth, goodness, and beauty.” Three simple words, yet full of mystery and light."
