Film Friday: New Year’s Eve

Title: New Year’s Eve Year: 2011 Rating: 4 out of 5 fairies Thoughts: The beginning is funny, but not spectacular. The second half of the movie is really the saving grace for this movie. Trailer:

Film Friday: How the Grinch Stole Christmas

Title: How the Grinch Stole Christmas Year: 1966 Rating: 5 out of 5 fairies Thoughts: This movie is as much a holiday tradition in my family as the Charlie Brown Christmas special. I love the narrator and the animations. Dr. Seuss has always had a place in my heart....

Film Friday: Corpse Bride

Corpse Bride Absolutely love this movie. I bought it the minute I found it on DVD. I’ve watched it so many times it’s gotten a little ridiculous. The animation style is beautiful, but what really gets me is the amazing soundtrack. Just the Stats Directors:...

Film Friday: The Nightmare Before Christmas

A Halloween Classic I don’t remember when I first saw this movie, but I know I was young. I was at a neighbor’s house (she was babysitting and her daughter and I were semi-friends). He daughter had just gotten The Nightmare Before Christmas on VHS...

Film Friday: Sleepy Hollow (1999)

Why Sleepy Hollow? Until I started writing this post I honestly didn’t realize HOW MANY awards this film received, and it definitely deserved all of them. I LOVE this film. I watched it when it came out because of Johnny Depp and Tim Burton (my...

Film Friday: Peter Pan (2003)

But there are SO MANY film interpretations of the Peter Pan story, why this one? Out of all the ones I’ve seen, and I’ve seen quite a few (I absolutely love the story), this one seems to be the closest to the Peter and Wendy tale. (Which...

Film Friday: To Kill a Mockingbird

An oldie but a goodie. A great interpretation of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, Robert Mulligan’s 1962 film is a great companion to the book. It captures the injustice, the pain, the poignancy of the book.

Film Friday: Horton Hears a Who (2008)

Absolutely loved this movie. It came out while I was in college, and I went to see it with one of my friends. Seeing Dr Seuss come to life through digital animation was amazing. If you somehow haven’t seen this movie, you really need to....

Film Friday: It (1990)

Book vs Movie The book was absolutely terrifying for me. Until yesterday, I’d never seen the movie. With a new version of it coming out in 2017, I thought I should finally conquer my lifelong terror of clowns (which started long before I ever read...

Film Friday: The Notebook

Isn’t this a little cliche? Yes, yes I know. It’s a chick flick. And chick lit. BUT it’s also an amazing love story. It’s inspiring. Noah is someone who embodies many attributes and ideals that I aspire to but know that I will likely fall...
