Movie Reviews: Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald



Because I watched Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, a good ten days after it's nation-wide release, I was exposed to a string of articles and videos whose titles implied that the film was not the spectacular film I anticipated it was going to be. As a result, I was a little less excited about what I might see. In hindsight though, if The Last Jedi was any indication, I should have known better than to let them influence my pre-viewing thoughts. But this I was waiting for this movie for two years and I wasn't going to make any judgments until after I saw the movie.

Can you guys believe that the day we've been waiting for for the past two years is fast approaching?! I certainly can't! I've even recently bought a Hogwarts uniform- complete with the robes, Ravenclaw tie, pin, and scarf- to celebrate the momentous occasion. Yes, I will be wearing my …

Movie News: The "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" First Look Discussion

Before we dive into the first look discussion, I want to avert your attention to the post header image for a second. As you can see, the word "trailer" is crossed out and replaced by "first look". Well, that's because I initially thought that the anticipated date of Novembe…

Bridget Jones: The Film Trilogy Review

Disclaimer: I have not read the books on which the films are based.

I've only fairly recently watched the Bridget Jones movies for the first time and I think it's safe to say that my infatuation with Colin Firth has not yet, and likely never will dissipate. If anything, this series of films…

The Fantastical Beasts of the Wizarding World: Part I

In celebration of the recent release of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, I decided (many months prior) to publish a post relevant to the film. In this post I'll be breaking down the list of the fantastical creatures that exist in the wizarding world (as the title suggests). So, without…

Movie News: The "Fallen" Trailer Discussion

After years, not months or weeks, but years of patience. The trailer for the Fallen movie has FINALLY been released, along with an anticipated release date, but I'll address that issue later. I've been a fan of Lauren Kate's Fallen series for quite a long while now, I'd read the ve…

10 Of My Favorite Movies Of All Time (Thus Far)




While your going through the movies I've listed, you probably think: "Seriously, those are her favorite movies of all time?" So before you go on reading this post I feel I need to defend choice of films and preferences. I enjoy strange and usual movies. However, while I was editing this post, I did notice that a lot of these movies are ones without "happy endings", which is quite depressing, really. I mean what does that say about me? Nothing bad I hope.

I absolutely love love love this movie! Its so fast-paced, and puzzling. You have to watch it from the very beginning and follow along closely to really understand what's going on. Robert Downey Jr. is naturally funny and his role as Sherlock Holmes was incredible. Jared Harris, who plays the evil and conniving professor was also amazing. (F.Y.I, he also played Hodge in City of Bones movie.)
At first, I would always only watch bits and pieces of this movie, never really the entire thing. But when I finally got around to watching the whole film, I really enjoyed it. Who doesn't want to watch Bradley Cooper and the debatably already crazy (in the best way possible) Jennifer Lawrence play deranged people? I especially loved this movie because it portrays all of the characters as imperfect and a little insane themselves, which in my opinion, is the reality of life. Everyone has something about them that makes them abnormal and off their bonkers. In the case of this movie, Pat (Bradley Copper) and his obsession with getting back together with his wife, Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence) and her depressingly poor social skills, Pat Sr. (Robert DeNiro) and his obsession with Philadelphia Eagles, etc.
If I had to choose favorite animated movie, it would definitely be Brave. I love this movie because it tells a story about a princess who doesn't want to conform to the standards of what a princess is supposed to be. She constantly tries to explain to her queen mother that she isn't the average princess. I also love her triplet troublemaker brothers.
I've always loved the Pirates of the Caribbean series, but lately I've overly obsessed. I watched the first three (?) in one sitting. I cannot emphasize enough how much I love these movies, and At World's End is my favorite. I think that's because this one is the darkest out of the first three. That is truly troubling. I cannot wait for the fifth one to hit theaters next year. I think it's the film I'm most anticipating in 2017.
Yes, I realize that Keira Knightley and Jude Law are each in two of my favorite movies. But to be fair, they are arguably two actors that you just can't avoid (not that would want to, anyway). The first time, I watched this film, I was kind of weirded out by the way it's

Movie News: The "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" Trailer Discussion

You, my dear readers, might not yet know this, (how can you not have figured it out by now) but I LOVE Harry Potter. I love the books, the movies, EVERYTHING. Harry Potter is my childhood (and adulthood, absolutely no shame there) And when I found out that there's going to be another movie, …

The Force (Re)Awakens: A Star Wars Post








In celebration of the new Star Wars movie-for which I'm absolutely stoked for- I decided to write a post on the evolution of the Star Wars film saga.




The first ever Star Wars movie came out in 1977, it was entitled Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope. The plot of this film focused on the Rebel Alliance, led by Princess Leia played by Carrie Fisher and their effort to destroy the Death Star (the Galactic Empire's Space Station). This conflict interrupts Luke Skywalker's (played by Mark Hamill) quite farmland life, and he accidentally gets involved by taking robots that have plans for the potential destruction of the Death Star.

The sequel to Star Wars: A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back was released in 1980. This followup is set three years into the future of A New Hope when the Galactic Empire's has fallen under the rule of Darth Vader and the Emperor Palpatine. Luke Skywalker's is taken under the wing of Jedi Master Yoda to study and master the Force. In the meantime, Darth Vader is on a mission to eliminate the Rebel Alliance whose purpose is to bring him and the Emperor Palpatine down. Ultimately, Luke has to decide whether to finish studying the Force and become a Jedi Knight or cast it aside and come to his friends' aid.

Star Wars: The Return of the Jedi (1983) takes place a year after The Empire Strikes Back, the dilemma in this one is now strictly the Emperor Palpatine whose plan is to build a second Death Star to get rid of the Rebel Alliance one and for all. Meanwhile, Luke (who always seems to be doing his own thing) is trying to bring back Darth Vader, who turns out to be Luke's father Anakin, a formerly fallen Jedi, from the Dark Side of the Force.
