Sense and Sensebility(1995)

Directed by Ang Lee

My cousin (Christie) has always said I am like Marianne and she is like Elinor. And it is so true. Elinor's sense is so much my cousin's, and Marianne's willingness to express her feelings is much like my own way that in many things I would be like.(In love I am a little more cautious than Marianne).

I watched this movie when my moms friend came over for a girls night with her daughter. Whitney and I went down stairs to watch this and I was happy we chose this to watch.

If I am not wrong this is also my  aunt's favorite chick flick. And I can see why.

The story of two sisters who are very close, and how they cope with disappointment in men. Eventually Elinor and Marianne found their happily ever after, after much tears.

I loved this movie. It is a classic. I didn't want to stop watching it for one second. I love this movie. Everyone should see it.

Pride and Prejudice(2005)

Directed by Joe Wright

Well, I am not a classics kind of girl. Give me a fantasy book or an action movie and I'll be content.
I actually watched this movie to make it easier to read the book(which I never finished). I do enjoy some Jane Austen books and movies(one of my favorite movies is Emma) but I am not a fan of Pride and Prejudice. Nor am I a fan of Keira Knightley. Don't get me wrong she is a good actress but I don't enjoy her work, the only films I really enjoy that have her in them are the Pirate films.

Well anyway, despite those facts, I believe this was a good movie. I know a lot of people who love this movie, and it is a good movie. Whether or not it is a good representation of the book, I cannot say. But I thought movie was good despite my dislike for Keira Knightley.
Don't take my word for it, check this movie out.

Alice (2009)

A SyFy mini series

This is a fantastic movie, but definitely not the original book nor story at all. It happens in the modern day, with a grown woman. The best part of the movie is watching her grow and reconcile with her past and move on past her fears. She loses a man she thought she loved, but falls in love for real. She must choose between her past, her present, and her future, all symbolized by different men that she has varying degrees of attachment to.

On a side note, my personal favorite part of the movie is Hatter. He is an amazing character and the end makes me exuberant.

Actually, every character in the movie is well-done. In particular, Alice, Hatter, the White Knight, the Queen of Hearts, and the King of Hearts (who was given much more attention than in the cartoon version).

Overall, this is a fantastic movie and I heartily recommend it. However, note that because it's a mini TV series, it is three hours long, so prepare for a good long watch.

Titanic(1997)

Directed by James Cameron

So this is the Second Ranking movie of all time, the only movie to surpass is Avatar another James Cameron movie. And Honestly I think this movie should still be at the top. I did not enjoy Avatar and I did enjoy Titanic.

Its the classic love story of a third class young man and the first class young woman. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Jack Dawson, a young artist who wins ticket for the titanic in a poker game. Kate Winslet plays Rose DeWitt Bukater, a young girl who feels trapped in her own life.
Rose is betrothed to an unlikable rich man, and meets Jack when he saves her from falling overboard. Her betrothed, Cal, then invites Jack to dinner the next night in thanks of saving Rose.

This movie is a very classic love story. And it is done beautifully in this film. Leonardo DiCaprio has made into my favorite movie actors, I love his acting. Kate Winslet is is a superb actress. This movie had a very talented cast and crew.
The only thing I would change about this film is one scene when Jack is sketching Rose, there could have been discretion for that scene, and there was another scene that I didn't really enjoy.
And the ending I wanted some how to be different, but knew it wouldn't be. And seeing an interpretation of how the Titanic went done was just unreal. We read about the Titanic and study it in school, but when I watched Titanic and when the ship went down is was chilling. I don't think we know the magnitude of the Titanic Disaster unless we were there, or had family members survive it.
This movie does have inappropriate scenes, it is not a childrens film.
This movie is a good movie nonetheless.

Peter Pan (2003)

Directed by P.J. Hogan

So I just wrote a review about a Peter Pan that I did not enjoy, well this is the opposite.
I absolutely love this film. It is a more traditional Peter Pan. The effects are reasonably good, not the greatest but they are good. The plot is wonderful, it is recognizable as a Peter Pan plot.

Jeremy Sumpter who plays Peter Pan, is, in my opinion, the perfect person to play Peter. He acted so much like Peter that it would be hard to see him as anyone else. He should the right amount of arrogance, and self-centered-ness, and acted very naive. I think that that mix with a bit of wittiness and charm makes the perfect Peter.
Wendy was good to, nothing exceptional but good.
Captain Hook was great. Exactly what Captain Hook should be.
The rest of the cast was good to.

The plot itself was good. There were a few things that weren't that great. Like the kissing there were two kisses. One between Peter and Wendy, that one did not bug me so much because the whole movie was leading up to it. Then there was a kiss between Tiger Lily and John, that was the kiss that could have been left out. Tiger Lily kissed John because she wanted him to open a gate, and because he just saved her life, but it was unnecessary.

This film is one of my favorite Peter Pan stories, it is extremely good.

Peter Pan (1953)

Directed by Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske, and Jack Kinney

Well I sure most of you have seen this film, maybe all of you. Peter Pan the story in of itself is a great story, but I do not enjoy this movie much now as a young adult.

I love Peter Pan, almost any Peter Pan rendition, I'll ripe apart in no time. As a little girl I loved this movie. Most kids do. But now I don't like it as much. It is very different from the book and I don't like some of the changes. Disney made a story that could be scary into a family film, and that I think is fine. But If you are like me and love the book, then this film is not the greatest.
 But for families it is a fine film.

The Dark Knight (2008)

Directed by Christopher Nolan

Now my last post was one of a movie that I did not like. Well this is the complete opposite. I was bugged by the inconsistency of Tron: Legacy,  this film is the exact opposite, the consistency of this film shows true marksman ship. I can not find problems in the production of any of Christopher Nolan's films so far.

This movie is the second of the Batman movies produced by Warner Brothers. The first, Batman Begins, shows how batman started and left off with him becoming Batman, Gotham's Protector.

This movie start with the introduction of the most popular villian of all time, The Joker (the late Heath Ledger). It is not at all the introduction I would like to be apart of. In this film the Joker is not a man who had plastic surgery that went wrong. He is a psychotic man who loves to cause other people pain and fear.

Batman is in a dilemma. Bruce Wayne enjoys being Batman, but he also wants to have a normal life. A normal life with his life long friend Rachel Dawes. When a new attorney starts showing his face in Gotham City, Bruce is excited. he is the kind of man the Batman has been looking for to take his place(not as batman but as someone who will put villains behind bars).

But before Batman can retire he has to deal with the Joker, who is killings people that Batman cares about. One Night when Bruce is throwing a party for Harvey Dent(the man that Batman needs) the Joker shows his face. This scene is like one of my favorites. Rachel is talking to Harvey (they are dating) then all of a sudden Bruce comes up behind Harvey and puts him in a closest, telling Rachel (who knows he's Batman) that Harvey is in danger. He then has to go become Batman. And Rachel has a very cool scene. Because the Joker decides to show his face at the party. Rachel stands up to him, And eventually kicks him. And the Joker says something along the lines of "You have atttitude, I like that." Then Batman appears out of nowhere and says "Then you'll love me."
That is a cool scene.

This movie is absolutely amazing. I can not find production errors at all. That is why Christopher Nolan is my favorite director. You must see this movie. Well after you have scene Batman Begins otherwise it will make no sense. And also once your older and parents say its okay. This is not a little kids film. The Title says its dark(i know that is in context with Knight) and it is dark!
But it is still an awesome movie.
