Pickled Wookiee

Swan Princess is an animated film based off of the story of “Swan Lake”. It was recommended to me by a 6 year old girl, and I was surprised that it was a decent movie. It was a fun movie. It didn’t measure up to some of Disney’s princess flicks, and a few of its musical numbers were tedious and out of place. The story’s message only scratched the surface of what it could have been, but it was a kids movie, and I suppose you can’t get terribly deep with kids before you lose them. On its good side, it had humor,  sweet  fairy tale romance, and it was clean. With a beautiful princess, and handsome prince, and a group of cute and witty animals, this movie certainly will appeal to younger children, especially girls. (continue reading…)

This is the story of an older Alice who returns to Wonderland long after her trip as a young girl, and mixes with the book “Alice and Wonderland” and “Through the Looking Glass.” Directed by Tim Burton it is an artsy and rather dark tale compared to the whimsical story by Lewis Carol. Some people loved it, some people hated it. It depends on what you’re looking for. If you’re looking for an eye opening film that goes skin deep, you probably won’t find it here; but if you’re looking for great entertainment with laughs, epic 3D, and great characters, Alice and Wonderland is definitely for you.

As I came out of the theater I felt very content. No life change, but it was a very enjoyable movie. Beautiful score by Danny Elfman, and Johnny Depp and the rest of the cast were all great.

So entertainment wise, you will really enjoy the ride. (continue reading…)
