It's a good film, but different from the book. It's been a while since I've read the book, or until today seen the movie. It's well acted for the most part. I thought the father didn't do that great of a job. But other than him well acted, we directed, well put together. I do have a question though. How is it possible to regain your memory in two seconds like the father did? That part I don't get. I liked how dark they made the head mistress staying true to the character of her. And I love that they made her a sweeper at the end. Good punishment. The sister was probably my favorite with her love affair with the milkman. Very charming and cute. I really enjoyed the movie and would recommend it to anyone.

Staying closer to the book, I thought this verison was better than the other two, though the other two are good too. But this one touches the heart strings a little more as unlike the other two, the father does die in this one. While this one is a little darker than the other two it plays more with your emotions. You laugh, you cry. You smile, you frown. You could tell how much of a struggle it was for Sara and her father to be a part, and how joyful she was to finally find a home in the end, where she once again would be loved. This is the better of the three and a fine good adaptation of the book. I would high recommend it for all who have yet to see it.

I went souley because I'm a huge Hugh Jackman fan. But the movie I thought wasn't bad. I love Hugh of course and thought that he put his all into it, but I also think that all the other actors did too. I could have done without the bear scene. I'm not really sure I understand the point in that was, but oh well. I enjoyed the action and humor in it, and thought it was a well put together film. But of course my favorite part was Hugh. It's a movie that my little brother who doesn't like the X-Men movies loved this one. It's definitely a movie I would recommend to anyone wither or not you've seen the other X-Men movies or wither or not you are a fan of the other movies or not.

I really like the movie. I love Hugh Jackman and most of the films he is in. But this one is one of his best. I love the storyline of the father and son learning and growing together. I really liked the part where Aunt Deborah comes to get Max and Charlie tells Max that Max forgot who Charlie was. When in reality Charlie grew up some and become almost a whole other person. Though I have to say the ending was my favorite part where Charlie tries to tell Max how he feels and Max says the secret is safe with him. I enjoyed the action of the robot boxing, but liked the human side of it better. I'm not much of a boxing fan. It was well shot, edited and directed, and all the actors were great. If you haven't seen this film yet, I suggest you go rent it. It's totally worth watching.

I wish that it had lasted longer. I grew up watch re runs of Bonanza with my mom and as an adult still watch it. I just started watching Ponderosa on youtube recently and I have to say I really enjoy it. I think that it probably could have lasted at least another season had the cost of it not been so high. I love how it shows more of a connection with Ben and the boys. I often found more of a connection with the boys with each other in Bonanza. I also like the inertactment with Adam and Joe cause in later years you can tell that their relationship was a bit strained. Though I do think that some of the story lines waver far from later on in Bonanza it's still a good show and I have great fun watching it.

As I watched in the theater a little girl in front of me started to be frightened near the end when it looked it was the end for the toys. I've talked to a few other people and they said that their small children had similar reactions when they saw it for the first time. This makes me wonder if it was a little strong for children of a younger age. No matter what though I enjoyed it whole heartly. And the end almost had me in tears. I was a young girl when the first one came out so in many ways I grew up with those toys. So at the end it was very heartwarming and touching. Tears almost filled my eyes. I cant wait to see this one again.

I love rewatching things after not seeing them in a long time and just falling in love with it all over again. And that's what happened here with Little Women. I was a young girl myself when it came out in theaters and I enjoyed it then, though honestly I don't recall if I had ever read the book before then. I don't have any sisters so I don't know the true relationship between sisters but I imagine it's a lot like brothers and I have three of them so I could relate in many ways to the relationships between the four of them. I think that Jo and Laurie would have made a great couple, but Jo was right. Laurie needed someone more like Amy than herself. Jo and Laurie were too much alike. The combination of Laurie and Amy matched together similar to Jo and Fredrick.Amy was calm and Laurie outgoing and Fredrick was calm and Jo outgoing. I can't think of anyone I know who has seen this movie and not cried when Beth passes away. A scene that sticks in your mind even days after watching it. Cuddle up in a blanket with your popcorn and enjoy this wonderful film.

I love Disney always have and probably always will. But The Lion King in many ways stands out from the rest. And it's not just cause the prince is a lion. You feel the pain and hurt and betrayal along with Simba. You learn and grow along with Simba. You love along with Simba. As with most Disney animals their facial expressions say more than words could say and when Timon laughs about the Kings of the past being in the stars, Simba really needs to say nothing at all. It's all there written in his face and they way he carries himself as he leaves. It's almost a coming of age story. As a young cub he had the world at his paws. Then he sees it slip away with the death of his father and being driven out by the hyenas. Only to later on come back and see that Pride Rock is really home and fight for what is rightfully his. Pop some popcorn and sit back, relax and enjoy!

For a modern day musical it ranks among the best. In fact for musicals period Newsies is one of the better ones. I just resaw it for the first times in a long while and fell in love with it all over again. I love the interact and respect that all the newsies have for each other. And at the end it's very clear how they all feel about Jack and how Jack feels for them, especially David and his family. Even if you don't care all that much for musicals it's still one to watch for it will still entertain you and make you cheer right along in the end. Newsies is a classic in my opinion. I grew up on it and it was something I shared a common interest in with friends and family. It may not go down in history as one to remember but in my book it already has.

I don't think that before viewing this I had ever seen a Hitchcock movie. It wasn't what I truthfully expected it to be at all. But I'm not saying that is a bad thing, I actually liked the movie. I admit I watch older films but mostly musicals. I've just started to watch the non-musicals and of the ones that I've seen this one is one of the better ones. I thought it carried your attention the whole way through, which is always a good sign in watching a movie. It also made me want to see it again. For it not being what I expected it's an interesting film, I will give it that. If you haven't seen it yet go to netflix and watch it. I would definitely recommend it.

Though I strongly feel that SITR is the best Gene Kelly movie, but this a pretty good one. I liked the music and the dancing and the ending on how Gene got the girl. My favorite part though without a doubt is Gene's dance with his alter ego. I love watching two Gene Kelly's for the price of one. It shows what talent Mr. Kelly really was. It is a movie that I think that everyone should watch at least once in their life time. So you have not seen it go out and find to watch it today! I'm sure that everyone out there has a Gene Kelly friend that has this movie in their collection. So go over to their house and pop some popcorn and enjoy!
