Beauty and the Beast was enchanting. I still prefer the live-action Cinderella, but there's enough in Beauty and the Beast to delight people who grew up watching the animated classic.
Before I start on this review proper, buckle up for a not-so-brief history of how Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (from now on referred to as BVS) came to be. It'll help you understand why BVS rubbed me wrongly from the get-go, and why I went into it with derisive feelings. My friend accused me of being biased against the film, and so even if it was good, I wouldn't say so, but that's not true. *If* it was good, I would admit it -- in tones of absolute surprise, yes, but I would.
Here's how the Marvel Phase One & Two limited edition box sets look like. Marvel hasn't released Phase Three's. Here's hoping it'll be out soon!
This is a post on my feelings after watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens. I won't mention any plot points, but even so, if you haven't watched the movie, BACK OUT NOW, because the moment you watch the movie, you'll know what I'm talking about before the thing has happened yet.
Many people went to watch Jurassic World last weekend; and by many, I mean the whole world. It had the biggest global opening weekend ever at US$511.8 million -- though I'm pretty sure the Avengers would have come out tops if Disney hadn't staggered the global rollout of The Avengers and Age of Ultron, whereas Universal Pictures released Jurassic World in all territories at once except Japan.
Having posted my "must-see" movies of this summer a few weeks ago, here's the long-delayed Part 2 where I list down the movies I'm less enthusiastic about. I started this post in April, so a few of these movies are already in cinemas, or have finished their run. But I feel the same about them as I did before, so I've let them remain.
There are movies that I like, movies I love, and movies I *love*. The first are movies I think are good and will watch again, maybe once, at the most twice, such as Kingsman: The Secret Service, Birdman, The Divergent Series: Insurgent. (Anything else is overkill.) The second are movies I’ll gladly watch a few more times, like The Lego Movie and Whiplash, though I need some distance between each viewing. The last category belongs to the films that have won my heart and mind entirely, the ones which after I finished watching them for the first time in the cinema, I immediately wanted to go back in and rewatch them a second, third, fourth time. Cinderella belongs squarely in the last.
After watching Frozen a second time whilst on holiday recently, I realised that I've not done a review of the movie, which is surprising. Or…
