Two years. It has been nearly two years without a new Marvel film. And, finally, we get one that fans have been asking for for years. Black Widow stars Scarlett Johansson reprising her role as Natasha Romanoff aka the Black Widow. Taking place between Captain America: Civil War and Infinity War, Black Widow follows the titular character on the run from the United States government for violating the Sokovia Accords (the … Continue reading Black Widow (2021)
Exiled into the dangerous forest by her wicked stepmother, a princess is rescued by seven dwarf miners who make her part of their household. If you know anything about me, you know that Disney films are ingrained on my heart and have been since I was a small child, which you can thank my father for. But, I’ve never particularly had a love for this … Continue reading 34. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937)
My hands covered my mouth and my eyes welled up with a of couple tears with the last line and shot of Disney/Pixar’s newest film, Soul. I don’t know what I had been expecting, but I at least should have known that this film would affect me emotionally, just like nearly every other Pixar film. Written by Pete Docter, Mike Jones, and Kemp Powers, and … Continue reading Soul (2020) : A Small Step in the Right Direction
There are so many things about the film The Santa Clause and the series as a whole that just makes no sense whatsoever. I know what you’re thinking: “Kristen, it’s a Christmas movie. Most things don’t make sense in Christmas movies.” And to that, I say, you are correct. HOWEVER, The Santa Clause has so many plot holes, that I can’t look past them any longer and they … Continue reading Something Has Been Bothering Me For Literally Years.
The Nightmare Before Christmas is a film that I have always been reluctant to say I enjoy. Does that have to do with the film itself? Absolutely not. It does, however, have to do with the culture surrounding the film. I’ve noticed a trend. Those that love The Nightmare Before Christmas really LOVE The Nightmare Before Christmas and it seems to become nearly their entire personality. The diehard … Continue reading Revisiting Disney: The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Fun fact: I’m nearly 30 and Bambi’s mother getting shot by the hunter still makes me tear up. That’s up there with the death of Mufasa, in my opinion. Bambi has never been one of the Disney films that I go back to and, honestly, I’m not entirely sure why. The film itself has some beautiful animation. In fact, the only film that even comes … Continue reading Revisiting Disney: Bambi (1942)
The Rescuers is definitely one of the Disney animated films that deserves more love and to be pushed more into the mainstream. For those unfamiliar with the film, The Rescuers is the tale of two mice of the Rescue Aid Society who search for Penny, a little girl who was kidnapped by treasure hunters trying to find the world’s largest diamond. The film features the voices … Continue reading Revisiting Disney: The Rescuers (1977)
Atlantis: The Lost Empire was one of the first films to come out after the Disney Renaissance Period ended, with only Dinosaur and The Emperor’s New Groove preceding it. It followed along with Disney’s new approach of a non-musical film. It was the first animated science-fiction film that the studio tackled. And, upon a rewatch, the film does hold up, for the most part. Atlantis … Continue reading Revisiting Disney: Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)
This review will be in two parts. The first part will address the film itself. The second part will address the fandom. So, here we go. I am a person who enjoyed The Last Jedi. Say what you will about me for enjoying it, but I liked the restoration of hope in the galaxy and the idea that anybody could possess the power of … Continue reading Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker : There’s No Pleasing Everybody
I’ve mentioned the podcast You Must Remember This before on this site. For a film lover, it is an absolute must. I wanted to briefly talk about the most recent series done on the podcast, “Six Degrees of Song of the South” about the Walt Disney film of the same name. If you know anything about the film, you know that it is rooted deeply … Continue reading You Must Remember This and Six Degrees of Song of the South : Some Thoughts
