Movie Review: Into the Woods

The Disney musical is finally out and its just super awesome! I was laughing the entire time and just enjoying the movie! If you’re not into musicals or fairytales, this ain’t for you, but if you were like meee, loving all the magic in the world, then you will LOVE it!

The movie is about five fairytales coming together as the main character of each story travels through the woods. You have, Jack (Daniel Huttlestone) going to sell his cow, Cinderella (Anna Kendrick) who is sneaking into the ball, Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford) going to visit her grandma and the Baker (James Corden) and his wife (Emily Blunt) who were sent to the woods to collect four items for the village Witch (Meryl Streep). There’s also Rapunzel (Mackenzie Mauzy) who was a bit useless in the movie hehehe.

From the first scene, the cinematography and the beautiful use of colors in the costumes and the setting caught my eyes! It was very pretty and just puts me in a magical mood. The story as well is mixed in a great way. All the characters are blended in one big coherent plot. And I also was happy to see that the versions of the fairy tales in this movie kept to the original tales, the ones with some bloody details.

If there was one thing that made it work in this movie, it was the cast!! Such a brilliant ensemble!! Johnny Depp was perfect, PERFECT as the Wolf! Even though his part wasn’t that long, but he nailed it! Chris Pine played Cinderella’s Prince and he was super hilarious! He really over played the prince charming and was even comical about it. I loved Emily Blunt. She was supper funny and her role was so genuine. She’s already nominated for a Golden Globe. Meryl Streep is nominated as well and in this movie she tops them all!! I LOVE HER!! She’s a genius actress, no one is like her! In this movie she is AMAZING and her voice and the way she sings, it’s awesome!

The movie as well is full with all the good messages that each fairytale had, like be careful what you wish for and other. They are more than just a story, they really do have nice messages to deliver.   

So, if you enjoy fairytales and musicals, this is the movie for you! For more info and to watch the trailer, please click here.

Movie Review: Big Hero 6

OMG!! This movie is sooo awesome!! I soo enjoyed it!!! If you could see me right now, you’d see me jumping and clapping from the excitement!! I mean the animation was sooo good that the kids in the theater were super silent and soo into the story! I never seen that happen before! That’s how good it was. I mean, of course it would be, it’s a Disney movie!!

It’s the story of the kid genius Hiro Hamada (Ryan Potter) and the bond he develop with the cutest robot ever, Baymax (Scott Adsit)!! And how both of them with the funniest four nerds became super heroes! 

The movie is so so hilarious! I keep laughing every five minutes! And beyond exciting! I was clapping and squealing! The script and the plot are so smart, witty, so nerdy and just awesome! It’s such a blast from the first scene! Baymax is so cute as well, you’ll be saying, “I want one!!” he is amaaaaazing!!

The animation is brilliant! So colorful and the details are beautiful! I don’t know what else to say hahaha I was as well so hooked into the story, I just enjoyed the ride and didn’t write a lot of reviewing notes ><!

But this review is to tell you whether it’s worth the watch or not, so if you’re into good animation and a fun action super hero story, this is THE animation for you! It’s awesome!

And as always, before the movie a short movie was played. I love them; they’re always cute and have a fun message. This time it’s called Feast and about a dog that love to eat. I loved it. The animation is so artistic and enchanting! Love it.

So, I do recommend this! One of the best animations I saw in years! It’s as good as How to Train Your Dragon and Despicable Me. For more info and the trailer, click here.

I really hope to watch Interstellar, so let’s see if I can catch it this week!

To the next one!

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: Maleficent

So, for me, this was either going to be a totally lame movie or an amazing new classic! The first 10 minutes of the movie set the tone and guess what Disney fans, IT’S TOTALLY EXTRAORDINARY AMAZING!!!

From the beginning with the beautiful scenery and moving soundtrack, it just takes your breath away!! I don’t think I should mention the plot of the story; it’s the Sleeping Beauty fairytale with a twist! This story this time is told through the eyes of the fairy we all grew to fear, Maleficent (Angelina Jolie).

This twist gave a life to the somehow lame sleeping beauty story. I mean in the previous Disney animation Aurora (Elle Fanning in this movie) does nothing but grow up and get pricked by the spinning wheel and then she sleeps. This time we hear the heartbreaking story of Maleficent and how she became the evil fairy that she is and Angelina Jolie played her part beautifully!!

The thing we don’t know is that Maleficent was good, but she was turned evil because of betrayal. That scene when she switched from good to evil gave me the chills! I mean talk about raw emotions! It made me cry to be honest! Angelia did more than delivered, she was Maleficent and I applaud her! You can see her shift in her eyes, her tone and even the way she walks! Chilling I tell ya!

I’m so happy we saw this side of Maleficent, it explains a lot! I remember I knew her story from an episode of Once Upon a Time, but not like this! At all! This was different and totally awesome!

The production side of it didn't fail as well! The magical creatures, the forest and everything was mesmerizing! It's a fairy place indeed! No wonder this world came from two time Oscar winner Robert Stromberg. This is actually his first movie to direct, as he dealt with visual effects before only. No wonder, the movie is dazzling.

Fun fact if you haven’t known yet, the 5 years old Aurora is actually played by Angelina’s daughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt. She was just so adorable!

I wanna say so much more, but I don’t want to ruin it for you! And to all those who are waiting for my verdict I say, RECOMMENDED!

Oh, one thing that I loved from the previous animation is the song, Once Upon A Dream. It’s just so special to me, and guess what?! An all new haunted version of the song by Lana Del Rey, hear it here.

This made me happy! For more info, click here.

Till again ;)
