OZ: THE GREAT AND POWERFUL - 08/03/2013

Directed by - Sam Raimi
Screenplay written by - David Lindsay-Abaire and Mitchell Kapner. Based on the Original books   the 'Oz' series by L. Frank Baum

A small-time magician arrives in an enchanted land and is forced to decide if he will be a good man or a great one. 


So me and my girls decided to take a trip to the cinema to catch Oz: The Great and Powerful! 
We were really in the mood to see something magical and something enchanting, and with this movie, that's exactly what we got! I Looooooved it! Director Sam Raimi filled every inch of the screen with phenomenal images, you really felt like you were in the wonderful land of Oz! One of the things I was mostly looking forward to was Mila Kunis's transformation into the ugly Wicked Witch... I mean come on, how is it even possible to make Mila Kunis look remotely bad? Well they had the best make-up artist ever, as Kunis freaked the HELL out of me! 
After watching this film, the innocence of Oz is no longer there, and it is replaced with evil creatures and flying monkeys gorilla's. You fall in love with the charming characters, and even more so, you fall in love with Oz. 

"How hard can it be to kill a Wicked Witch?"

MIDNIGHT IN PARIS - RELEASED 10/06/2011

Directed and Written by - Woody Allen

While on a trip to Paris with his fiancĂ©'s family, a nostalgic screenwriter finds himself mysteriously going back to the 1920s every day at midnight. It's about a young man's great love for a city, Paris, and the illusion people have that a life different from theirs would be much better. It stars Owen Wilson, Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard, Kathy Bates, Carla Bruni, among others.

I was so excited to see this film, considering it had won an Oscar AND Golden Globe for Best Original Screenplay. I Adore Paris and everything in it, so I figured this film would be the perfect type of Rom Com to cuddle up with a blanket next to the fire with a few of my girls. However, I was slightly dissapointed! I felt like the story came to it's climax, but suddenly plummeted down into... well... nothing.  

Don't get me wrong the concept of the film was perfect combining all the most iconic 1920's characters like Mr and Ms Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway and T.S Elliot. You could see that [Woody] Allen wanted the audience to fall in love with Paris as much as the main character Gil did, but I just felt like the film was watchable, not something that instantly made me want to replay it. Sorry Woody!

"Paris exists and anyone who could choose to live anywhere else in the world will always be a mystery to me"

WRECK IT RALPH - RELEASED 08/02/2013

Directed by - Rich Moore 
Written by - Phil JohnstonJennifer LeeRich MooreJim ReardonJared SternJohn C. ReillySam J Levine.

Ralph is tired of being overshadowed by Fix-It Felix, the "good guy" of their game who always gets to save the day. But after constantly seeing all the glory go to Felix, Ralph decides he's tired of playing the bad guy. He takes matters into his own huge hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade to prove he's got what it takes to be a hero. He meets the tough-as-nails Sergeant Calhoun from the first-person action game Hero's Duty. But it's the feisty misfit Vanellope von Schweetz from the candy cart racing game, Sugar Rush, whose world is threatened when Ralph accidentally unleashes a deadly enemy that threatens the entire arcade. Will Ralph realize his dream and save the day before it's too late? 

We never get to see a tale from the point of view of the 'bad guy', but Wreck-it Ralph conveys this perfectly. I could watch this film over and over and it would never get boring! You grow to really love the characters (in my case, especially Venellope - the "glitch") of this film. Wreck-it Ralph had been highly anticipated and long awaited, this project by Disney could have gone phenomenally wrong. But luckily with the Director - Rich Moore - (who also directed The Simpsons) the controller was completely in the right hands! Wreck-it Ralph is definitely for all the family, and is a delight to watch. 

"I'm gonna Wreck it!"
