Trungy (7 KP) rated Beauty and the Beast (2017) in Movies

It was a hard shoe to fill
Whilst a glorious live action version of "Beauty and the Beast". One of the better ones and set a decent bar for the few to come. The music was wonderful and the world they created was magical. My only issue is that the singing just didnt sit well with me - perhaps just personal taste. I just felt like it didnt quite capture the same beauty as the first.

interesting concept/ structure (1 more)
for those who enjoy YA novels, this is a solid read
i read this book to try to gauge my personal opinion of John Green's writing and how much his ideas vary from book to book: reading this after The Fault in Our Stars made me give up his work. i really did try to get into his writing as such hype has surrounded it but i just think it wasn't for me

This book comes from the founder of the nonprofit organization To Write Love On Her Arms. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has ever struggled with depression themself, or perhaps has been touched by someone who has. Throughout the book, Jamie talks about how the organization started in the first place, some of the friends he's made and lost along the way, and his own personal struggles despite what he's fighting for every single day.

This is a contemporary love story about how two people try to overcome their own personal issues to find true love.
It is an easy read with interesting characters and a well-put together story that lovers of this kind of book will really enjoy it.
I am personally not a huge fan of this genre, but that didn't stop me from enjoying it and I won't be so quick to dismiss a book in this category again.

spoiler: jar jar is now working as a clown at an orphanage. highlight of the book. just kidding.
great wrap up to the trilogy even though I didn't fully love the final romantic pairing for sinjir, but that's my personal preference. sinjir + jas imo lol
love how it explains what's on Jakku and how it may explain where snoke may be from, and the battle that happened on jakku, which we see the remains of in the force awakens.

The first time I watched this movie I was really drawn into the plot. I would have liked a little more background, but that's just my personal preference. The plot is angsty and can be kind of dark. The language can be offensive depending on your views, but I feel it fits the movies tone well. The acting was alright, but felt forced at some points. Overall it was a very good movie and would recommend watching it.

Antoine Fuqua and Denzel Washington are always a winning pair. I think I may have liked this movie more than the first, mostly because it brought more of a personal story for Denzel's character. The beginning set the tone, and for a bit of the movie, you think it's just going to be Denzel righting wrongs, but then it finally gets into the story. I think my favorite was the end, the cinematography during the hurricane was amazing.

A Wonderful Reimagining
questions readers may have had from the original work. Elizabeth is a dark, yet delightful character who literally "takes care of Victor" to the very end.
We get to meet the monster on a more personal level and information is tied up quite neatly through the existence of two journals. But, no more information shall I reveal lol. Jump in and read for yourself this story of teens true meaning of freedom

One of the first books by King I read, as a relative newbie to the genre of horror I was not left disappointed. The gripping plot has stuck with me and it remains a personal favourite. In a traditional for King manner things are never as they seem, the reader is left guessing. Without spoiling the plot, I would definitely recommend it as a lovely bit of literature to keep one busy on a cold day.
