Beauty and the Beast (2017)
Better than the original!
I watched the classic version a million times as a kid and now, as an adult, i'm almost as obsessed with this version! I think everything about this movie is spot on. It's cinematically stunning with beautiful sets and powerful musical performances that top the ones from the original movie. Emma is the perfect Belle and luke and josh couldn't be a better fit for gaston and le fou!
Ojing-eo geim (2021)
Binge watched it in a day
I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I committed a whole day in front of this show but it really caught me. Episode 6 had me bawling my eyes out. However, I feel like the last episode was a little disappointed. They tried to make you understand that you won't find happiness in money, but I just feel like the pace and the vibe were a bit off compared to the rest of the show. And such a shame to learn that the character whose "death" you mourned the most showed to be the evil guy all along.
Dune (2021)
Potentially epic franchise
I thought the move was cinematically beautiful and you like the main character and are interested in knowing more of his dreams and zendayas character etc. Although, I thought it was way too long for it's rather slow pace and I couldn't stop giggling at the way skarsgard was floating around (:
No Time to Die (2021)
Amazing
Rami is astonishing in this! The plot is great, the combination of action, humor, and drama was perfect for me. I don't really understand the negative reviews, but then again I'm not a hardcore bond fan :-)
Blades of Glory (2007)
A classic
I've seen this way too many times and Now I have such a long term relationship with the movie that I just can't give it a lower score despite it not being the best of movies. To me, this is a must see and there are so many iconic scenes that I just love too much. If you're in the mood for a silly and uncomplicated movie, I would definitely recommend picking this one up.
HOWEVER, I see that there are sooo many reviews saying like "I'm not homophobic, but..."
Y'all are nothing but bigots. How can a movie about two men (both portrayed as straight even) who are skating together make you so uncomfortable?? And what makes you think it's not for un-queer people?? They could easily have made at least one character queer, but no, everyone is straight as a pole and people are still complaining about it because "ew, two men skating together". Y'all need to understand that the queer community never get their representation in movies because of the producers being afraid of getting reactions from the audience like the ones you express here.
Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020)
Love it!
I love Eurovision, and I love will Pharrell. Many people might think this movie is immature or is mocking Eurovision in some way, but I disagree with that completely. This movie is all I ever want from a comedy, and the plot is entertaining. I mean, seeing Demi Lovato being blown to pieces and Mikael Persbrandt stabbed my an elf is just my kind of bizzare humor... people should stop taking the movie and Eurovision so seriously and just enjoy the entertainment of a phenomenal movie!
Love and Monsters (2020)
Surprisingly good!
I'm not a very big fan of action comedies and I feel like movies with wired monsters easily can feel pretty blah. However, the plot was very interesting and Dylan O'Brien is naturally a funny person so he is perfect for the role. Boy is also the perfect sidekick! I especially liked the first half of the movie when Joel heads out on his adventure and learn all the different life lessons etc. Although, I would prefer if they cut out the kissing scene in the end since it felt kind of cringey and cliché. Also, I for some reason find the title a bit trashy.. Other than that, I enjoyed the whole movie and had a very good time watching it!
Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood (2019)
Somewhat disappointing
I love the vibe and style of this film, but the plot was not very enjoyable. They could have cut out all the parts with sharon Tate since it didn't add anything exiting to the story and have the movie to be at a reasonable length. I loved the bizarre ending however! Very Tarantino which you just gotta love.
The Queen's Gambit (2020)
Surprisingly captivating
I actually started watching this purely because of Thomas Brodie-Sangster but stayed for the very addictive and fascinating plot. All characters and the story of Beth was remarkable and a delight to follow. Sat through the whole series in one day. Beth truly is an interesting character and I did not expect all the twist and turns in the plot at all. One of the best mini series I have ever seen. Even put up our old chess board on display on our side table because of inspiration from queen's gambit!
The Emperor's New Groove (2000)
The absolute best
This is my all time favorite Disney movie. It came out at the perfect age for me and I remember just watching it again and again on the dvd and playing the little games that were included that you could play with the tv remote. The plot is amazing and the jokes throughout the movie have always been very funny to me, and still are to this day at age 26. I know all of the lines in this movie and I will always have a little crush on that self absorbed kuzko.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
One of the greatest
I don't know how many times I've seen this movie and I remember me and my friend learning all the lines and the little dances during the oompa lompa songs. I love this move from start to end and Johnny Depp portrays the role of Willy winks amazingly in his own quirky way. Since it's based on a children's book, there are not much variations of the side characters as they are portrayed as 100% bad or 100% good with no grey area what so ever. The plot is predictable but still very captivating.
Glee (2009)
Fun and important for me
I watched this series between the age of 14-17 and to me the series provided me with joy but also some life lessons sort of. As a teenager at the time, Seeing all these other teenagers grow up and facing all the different difficulties of high school etc was very relieving. Glee is also the first series I watched with significant queer representation which I think many series and movies lack otherwise.
Hairspray (2007)
My guilty pleasure
This movie is one to pick up whenever feeling down and low. It's cheesy, yes, but the best musicals are! I love the songs, the characters, John Travolta as the mother and the beautiful message of inclusiveness and acceptance of each other. Don't you just wish that you lived in the 60s Baltimore when watching this movie?
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015)
Great
I ended up rewatching the first maze runner movie after many years, which also made me watch this movie and the last one for the first time. At first I missed the setting from the maze, but I'm a sucker for zombie-content and this movie has a great deal of it. I also liked the plot twist with WCKD and Teresa. This movie answers a lot of questions from the first movie and never fails to entertain.
The Maze Runner (2014)
It has grown on me
I remember seeing this in the theaters in 2014 and having the feeling that this was a meh wannabe-hunger games. Now, watching it again while I'm a little older I actually really enjoyed the plot and all the different characters that you learned to love. The obvious set up for sequels made me crave watching the two other movies that I've never seen before and now I consider myself a hardcore maze runner fan! This first movie leaves you with sooo many questions that might be considered by many as plot holes, but in my opinion you get these questions answered in the later movies. I also love the dynamic between Thomas and newt and love seeing their relationship build throughout the series. This move made me laugh, cry and hold my breath in excitement and I just want to watch it again and again.
Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)
Breathtaking !
I loved this movie!! It's action packed but still portrayed important relationships and character development. I just love the evolution and journey of Newt and the message he left for Thomas. Although, it was very sad to see him go the way he did and I didn't quite understand Thomas's affection with Theresa after all the betrayal, the movie itself is remarkable!
