Coco Before Chanel

Coco Chanel is a very famous lady, having changed the fashion world forever, in more than a few ways. She starts out in this movie as a very poor girl, barely getting through life by sewing during the day time, and singing at night time, working with her beloved sister. Coco is no typical girl, however. She is totally against the 'silly, ridiculous' styles of the day, and wore mens clothing instead of the corsets, feathered hats, and crazy skirts. She makes some friends, but after her sister moves away to someday get married, she moved to the house of a man she met while working one night, and from there learned how to ride and care for horses, made more friends, and started making hats and such for the ladies who at first throught they were too plain, but then came back more and more as everyone loved the style. This movie is all in the French language, with a couple British words, but not many. haha It is something you would want to wait to see till you are a little older, I think. I had it filtered, as it is rated PG-13 for many, many scenes and crazy sensual things in it. Oh, and some smoking. lol I actually found it annoying how much smoking was in this movie. It is 105 minutes, has amazing actors, including Audrey Tautou, Benoit Poelvoorde, and Alessandro Nivola, who you have probably not heard of, but are all extremely talented. haha  This is actually a really, really good movie, that is very touching and helps you see what type of life people had back then.  Not one of my favorites, but this is still very good, and I plan on watching it again, someday. =)

Alice in Wonderland

Wow. I am very much surprised at my reactions when watching this movie. Once again, I re-learn the 'don't judge a book by it's cover' saying. I thought this movie would be a very creepy, terrible movie. I also thought that they completely butchered everything about the book and original movie. No, that is not the case. This movie's time frame really takes place when Alice is a 19 year old girl with many obligations. She has the same dream over and over every single night of Wonderland, a place with talking animals and crazy queens obsessed with red roses and cutting off heads. But after being proposed to by a slightly disturbing guy, Alice runs off to think about it, and falls into a hole after chasing a rabbit wearing clothing and holding a watch. This movie takes her through the Underland, what she had called Wonderland before. I shall not tell you what happens. =) This movie may be slightly disturbing in a few ways, and kinda scary-ish in others. And no, they did not chop up the story or her original dress. This is the continuation of the first movie, and the reason she wears different dresses is because she shrinks and gets big again, over and over. It has Johnny Depp (who, might I add, was a very good Mad-Hatter, and was totally hilarious at times =) ), Mia Wasikowska (a very new, beautiful and amazing actress), Anne Hathaway, and many other amazing actors and actresses directed by Tim Burton. It is rated PG, mainly for scary action scenes and disturbing images, and is 108 minutes long. I very, very much enjoyed this movie, and it is now among my favorites. =)

Planet 51

=) I love this movie. I've been talking about it aaaaaaaaall day, and singing the really fun song that is played in a scene. haha =)  This movie is about a planet located in the rings of Saturn, where beings live. They fear that aliens will come to their planet and turn them into zombies or eat their brains for dinner. They are aliens, by the way. They think that any beings that are not themselves are aliens. Just like we do. haha Anyways, the day arrives when a spaceship lands in the backyard of a family with a son who is learning astronomy. The 'alien' ends up being a normal, random astronaut who just came to play some golf on the planet before taking off and becoming famous. My goodness, this movie is full of really funny jokes, some of which making my brother and I laugh for a full minute, though some are suggestive humor.  This is a great kid movie, and one adults and teens would enjoy. It is rated PG, has some mild action, and is around 90 minutes long. Very much worth taking time to watch it. =)

Dear John

Of course you have heard of this beautiful, sad, romantic story by Nicholas Sparks, author of The Notebook, A Walk to Remember, and more. Psshhh, who could miss it? ;)  jk So this PG-13 movie is one my friends have talked about forever and a day, and became something I was very much looking forward to seeing. Just last night I was at RedBox and saw that it had come out THE day before, so I didn't even have to think before selecting that movie. x)  The story begins with a soldier in the Army. He is on a 14-day leave, and has gone back to his small, comfy home-town for the time, to spend surfing and just chilling, perhaps getting a couple words out of his coin-collecting, quiet, lonely but happy father. While there, he saves a bag a girl he spotted accidentaly drops in the water, and quickly becomes friends with this relaxed, fun, kind girl. They instantly click, and become lovers within 2 weeks. You probably know what happens, but if you don't, that is fine. You should really watch it. =D There are (I believe, but not positive) some words in this movie, and a scene you should skip, but it is really good. Not saying it's my favorite, or half as good as everyone said it was, but Nicholas did a great job. I love his books. =)

Tinker Bell 2

Awe, this is such a cute movie. Of course, once I found out (while watching Phineas and Ferb on the Disney Channel) that Tinker Bell 1 and 2 were playing last week on Saturday, I just had to make sure our Comcast system recorded them. I wanted to watch them, but was busy. So we did, and I watched it. Adorable! This movie has a very good lesson in it about how important friends are, and about how you should take the initiative and say sorry first, because you may have had something to do with what just happened. Tinker Bell is asked to be the Tinker fairy that makes the cepter used in the Blue Moon celebrations held every 8 years, which is responsible for producing blue pixie dust, which keeps Fairy Hollow alive, really. After an accident involving her best friend, Terrence, Tink goes off by herself, feeling anger and abandonment, in search of a magic mirror, which, according the the legends, will grant you a wish. Little kids just adore this movie, and I also enjoyed it. It was well-made, has great characters, a good story, and lots of beautiful, magical things. =) =)

Tinker Bell

Haha Yes, I watched Tinker Bell. And I am proud to have. =D I love fairies, and this movie was just amazing in how it portrayed them. Their beautiful, magical world full of nuts, squirrels, dew drops, tiny pots, light rays and more was just stunning. Tinker Bell, a new Tinker fairy, is a very helpful fairy. A little too helpful, sometimes. After learning that Tinkers do not go the the Mainland, where all the other talented fairies go at the turn of every season, she set her mind on learning to do the things other fairies do. After trying to catch light, hold dew drops, train baby birds to fly, and much more, she ends up ruining all the Spring preparations every fairy had been working on for months. Watch it to see the details and find out what happens. Super cute! Very kid-friendly, something that will amuse you when babysitting (;D). =) =)

Finally!!! It has been months and months since this movie came out in theatres. Everyone it seems went to see it, except for us. The first month was crazy because everyone was excited, then they got bored, and went to see the new movies, Alice and How to Train Your Dragon, both of which I want to see. x) Anyways, we just got it the other day, and oh my goodness, is it amazing!!!!!! Aaaaah! It is too cool. =D =D In this film Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation and Clash of the Titans) and Zoe Saldana (Star Trek), and many other famous and talented actors and actresses tell the beautiful story that took at least 5 years to create. This movie is PG-13 and has lots of language, intense epic battle scenes, sensuality, and 'smoking', according http://www.imdb.com/ haha Anyways, it was soooo worth the wait! I could go on and on and on about how much I love this movie. It made it's way to the top section of my favorite movies. =) And no, I am not going to tell you the story. It is too good to read about it. Go watch it if you have not, and watch it again if you have!!!! lol =D
