Movie Review: Mr. Peabody & Sherman

I always enjoy a good animation! This is not the ultimate best one, but it’s fun and entertaining with beautiful historical scenery. It has time travel, soo it’s good hehehe!

It’s the story of super smart genius dog, Mr. Peabody (v/ Ty Burrell) who adopts a boy, Sherman (v/ Max Charles) and Mr. Peabody is so smart he invented a time machine which he calls, The Way Back (I thought that was pretty smart). Everything is great until Sherman starts school and in the first day he ends up in a fight with Penny (v/ Ariel Winter). To fix it Mr. Peabody invites her and her parents (v/ Stephen Colbert and Leslie Mann) and during dinner Sherman and Penny go into the Way Back and get into a lot of fun trouble!

Other than the flawless animation, the movie highlight so many important events in the history of mankind and its entertaining and educating for kids to see, though as an adult you have to explain what really actually happened hahaha. Also the movie sends a great message, which is the acceptance of the difference between people and how the normal life to someone is unnatural to someone else, but it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. I like that. It’s a good thing to teach the young generations.

The only odd thing in the movie for me was how, Ty portrayed a very smart and poised character in the movie hehehe I’m used to him being funny and clumsy in Modern Family, so it took me a minute to get used to it. But the movie is still a good fun!

Halloween Movie Review: Hocus Pocus

I end my Halloween theme reviews with Disney’s classic Hocus Pocus!! The movie is about the ugly three sister witches who eat kids to be young and beautiful! It’s such a classic story and the perfect ending for Halloween!!

The story of the Sanderson witches, Winifred (Bette Midler), Mary (Kathy Najimy) and Sarah (Sarah Jessica Parker) who were resurrected after being burned to death 300 hundred years ago. The kids who brought them back to life try their best to fight the witches and save the children of Salem!

The movie brings the spirit of the 90s and especially the golden years of Disney movies!! It’s the type of movies I grew up watching so I loved it! Such a trip down memory lane! It’s short, fun and super funny! A great relaxing movie and perfect for family movie night.

The witches are hilarious and Bitty, Kathy and Sarah were brilliant! I always enjoy Bitty’s performances and it was such a blast to see Sarah Jessica in a whimsical character.

This movie is a true landmark of Halloween adventurous movies! The costumes are colorful and not overly done, it’s a bit of a musical and it has all the right element of a clichéd witches stories!

It was such an awesome fun! I wasn’t bored while watching it and it made me smile! I truly enjoyed it and like I said a perfect movie to end my Halloween movie reviews weekend!

Enjoy your day and don't forget, It's just a bunch of Hocus Pocus ;)

Till the next one!

Movie Review: Matilda

The movie review I am bringing to you today is that of Matilda (Mara Wilson). A fantasy movie from the year 1996 and a perfect watch for the family at home on a weekend. It's hilarious, enjoyable, and also has its own share of exaggerations but I am sure you will enjoy it.

Based on Roald Dahl's popular book, this fantasy explores themes of youthful independence and personal identity. Personally, I have always been a fan of Roald Dahl stories and this is just another one.

The fun comes through the exaggerated situations and roles in the movie. Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman (Matilda’s father and mother) portray the ultimate self-centered, dysfunctional, TV-addicted adult living. They don’t let Matilda go to school because they think she is four. She is really 6 1/2. When stuck for a real answer to her valid arguments, daddy DeVito’s best response is “because I’m big and you’re small. I’m smart and you’re dumb. I’m right and you’re wrong.”

She does get to school eventually, but it’s more of the same. The principal is a big, strong, surly woman who throws boys out of windows and swings a sweet young girl over a fence by her pigtails. It is cartoon-style violence; no one is ever really hurt. In the midst of her troubles, Matilda develops a “miraculous” power.

There are few people who don't sometimes feel unappreciated, misused, and misunderstood. Those are the feelings that Matilda recognizes and confronts. Young Matilda has a hard time with a family who don't seem to understand how special she is. Yet she never lets this get her down for long, always making the best of whatever situation she's in.

Matilda is a good film for all ages to enjoy. The story includes a lot of cartoonish violence, nearly all of it perpetrated by a bullying school principal. Children who displease the evil principal are put in "the chokey," a dark closet lined with nails and broken glass. When Matilda's parents aren't neglecting her, they're berating her ... so she decides to punish them. But she also stands up for the principal's victims.  The violence depicted in the story is very unrealistic and truly exaggerated. Hence, there is no harm in children watching it at all.

It’s a good movie for all the ages.
