Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (2009)
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (2009)
2009 | Animation, Comedy, Family
Still hilarious as hell. Its breakneck energy, spastic animation, and frenetic joke-ifying forever influenced the current playing field for fast-paced children's blockbusters such as The Lego Movie(s) and its subsequent clones - good or ill. The inescapable hype around this back in the day was totally deserved because we'd seldom really seen anything like this at the time, and it's truly sad this is looked upon less fondly today just because it isn't as revolutionary as it once seemed. It still very much is imo, and how can one even try to deny that voice cast and role subversion?
  
Kindergarten Cop (1990)
Kindergarten Cop (1990)
1990 | Comedy
Early 90s (1990?) effort by the Austrian Oak to soften his tough guy image, playing the role of a tough cop who has to go undercover in a nursery school to track down and protect the former wife of a drug dealer.

And, of course, 'hilarity' ensues.

Or, at least, what the screenwriters thought would be hilarious, as Arnie finds himself struggling to cope with a class of 5(?) year old while also starting to fall for one of his colleagues.

Actually, to be fair, it's not all bad: it is enjoyable enough, just not laugh out loud funny.
  
Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)
Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)
2001 | Comedy, Romance

"I’m also a big fan of comedy as well, so even things to this day like Bridget Jones’s Diary, there was just something about Bridget Jones that I thought … And I guess it’s [Renée Zellweger‘s] performance. I remember there was a lot of talk about the fact that they cast an American in that role, but I think she captured the sensibility of a repressed English girl who was desperate to fall in love so beautifully And as an actor myself, often you caught slack if you’re playing a gay person and you’re not really gay, or you’re playing an American and you’re not really American, or you’re playing whatever it happens to be. I just think if you can find the essence in a character and pull it off, then it doesn’t matter where you’re from or what your nationality is, etc. There’s something to me about that film that’s like the perfect romantic comedy. I just think it’s a bit hard to put my finger on what it is, to be honest. It’s just beautifully executed. Everything’s so well balanced. Often whenever I read a romantic comedy now, I’m comparing it to Bridget Jones and if it’s planned well."

Slightly too long and drawn out (0 more)
I really enjpyed this book, i have been meaning to read it for some time. I watched the film first which I don't usually do but that inspired me to buy the book. I have given it eight stars because i enjoyed the storyline and the development of the characters, even down to the school bullies. I love the character of Macon Ravenwood as much as I loved Jeremy Irons playing the role of him in the movie. My only criticism would be that it is perhaps a bit too long and drawn out, especially as it is part of a series.

I like Telegram a lot because it's useable around the world for no charge. You can send voice messages, text messages and pictures to people for literally nothing. There are a lot of bots that you can interact with; I can play Werewolf, Taboo or Spy with people everywhere any time I want.

Additionally, it's easy to create your own chat or group and doesn't cost a thing. I use it for role-playing and D & D every day, and intend to continue doing so.

You can also have your own sticker packs created (like emojis) or steal ones that you like from others!
  
Beauty and the Beast (2017)
Beauty and the Beast (2017)
2017 | Fantasy, Musical, Romance
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!

I really enjoyed this book,I have been meaning to read it for some time. I watched the film first which I sont usually do, but that inspired me to buy the book. I have given it eight stars because I enjoyed the story line and the development of the characters, even down to the school bullies. I love the character of Macon Ravenwood inasmuch as I loved Jeremy Irons playing the role in the film. My only criticism would he that it perhaps a bit too long and drawn out, especially as it is part of a series, I think 563 pages is a bit too long.

Kind of a silly plot! (0 more)
Mediocre Film
Ok so Justin Timberlake is a bit of a shit actor however Amanda makes up for his rubbish! She is super at playing her role.
The plot is very out there however who knows where the world is heading!
If you are thinking of watching it just do it you may like it more than I did.
Basically everyone has a clock with time on there arm when it runs out your dead simple the police no longer exist it's Time Keepers.
So basically if your poor your clock is shit if your rich you could live forever.
It comes down to the subplot of social class!
  
Black Swan (2010)
Black Swan (2010)
2010 | Horror, Thriller
Twisted Swan
Black Swan- is a excellent psychological horror thriller. Darren Aronofsky does a excellent job playing the views minds. Natalie Portman does a excellent job.

The plot: Nina (Natalie Portman) is a ballerina whose passion for the dance rules every facet of her life. When the company's artistic director decides to replace his prima ballerina for their opening production of "Swan Lake," Nina is his first choice. She has competition in newcomer Lily (Mila Kunis) however. While Nina is perfect for the role of the White Swan, Lily personifies the Black Swan. As rivalry between the two dancers transforms into a twisted friendship, Nina's dark side begins to emerge.

Its a excellent film and a must watch.

It was all the words I put in the heading of my rating. I loved Andrew Garfield in it as the main character. I think he did an AMAZING job playing the role of Desmond T Doss. It is rated R but I really liked it. I was leery about it because it's rated R, which I am about ALL rated R movies but I really enjoyed it. Sam Worthington is also in it. He plays the lead male character in AVATAR. I think he did a really good job in it too. It also stars Teresa Palmer who is also in The Choice. Overall, I really enjoyed it! I would watch it again AND HAVE!
