Miss Congeniality (2000)
Kicks butt!
Okay, full disclosure: I'm pretty sure that if I had to go undercover as a beauty pageant contestant, I would be terrible at it. That's why I have mad respect for Sandra Bullock's character in 'Miss Congeniality.' She not only manages to keep her cool while wearing a big ol' ballgown and high heels, but she also kicks some serious butt in the process.
This movie has it all: a fish-out-of-water premise, a tough-as-nails protagonist, and of course, some hilarious one-liners. (My personal favorite? 'I'm gliding here!) Plus, who doesn't love seeing Michael Caine play a posh yet sassy pageant coach?
The Others (2001)
Gripping plot twist
It is a captivating and suspenseful film that will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. With its masterfully crafted atmosphere of mystery and tension, it skillfully plays with your expectations and keeps you guessing until the very end. This psychological thriller is defined by its remarkable ability to maintain an unsettling sense of unease throughout, leaving viewers constantly intrigued and anxious. The thought provoking nature of this film will keep you hooked until the very last second, not knowing who to trust. With a gripping plot and a memorable twist that will leave you astounded!!!
Barbie (2023)
Think Pink
"Barbie" is a delightful film that successfully blends humor with a heartwarming message. The movie captures your attention with its witty moments and leaves you with a sense of positivity. The storyline, combined with the charming characters, draws you into Barbie's world and keeps you fully engaged throughout. While some aspects might be familiar, the film's unique twist and overall execution make it a standout. With its combination of humor and a touching message, "Barbie" earns a solid 8 out of 10 rating. It's a feel-good watch that's perfect for anyone seeking an enjoyable cinematic experience.
The Little Mermaid (2023)
Leave things untouched
The new "Little Mermaid" movie does have some intriguing elements. Halle Bailey's portrayal of Ariel is spot-on, and her performance shines. I can't even bring myself to discuss flounder! I can understand the confusion with the setting, as it's meant to be Denmark but resembles the Caribbean. It's interesting that they've given Prince Eric more character development, and his song is a nice addition, although it might feel a bit out of place. The acting isn't the best, the effects are good and the songs we know and love but it's not going to be a Disney classic. Overall, it's fun with a whimsical Disney flair, but sometimes classics are better left untouched.
Annabelle: Creation (2017)
Horror movie masterpiece
" Annabelle: Creation" is probably my favorite horror movie of all time. It's incredibly creepy, and that doll is absolutely terrifying. The addition of children to the storyline adds a whole new level of spookiness. The subtle movements and head turns of the doll, along with eerie background actions, keep you on the edge of your seat. The storyline and cast are top-notch, making it a truly chilling and memorable horror experience. It is and always will be one of my favourite horror movies. The children acting the roles of the orphans are exceptional. They truly fulfil their roles as being terrified.
Room (2015)
Emotional masterpiece
"Room" is an outstanding film that goes beyond the surface. It masterfully captures the struggle of being kidnapped and living in captivity, but what sets it apart is its exploration of the aftermath, which is often overlooked. This movie hits you right in the gut with its emotional depth. Young Jacob Tremblay's portrayal of his character is incredible and adds to the film's powerful impact. He is hilarious in his statements and really makes you believe he has never been outside, a truly wonderful feat for such a young actor. Brie Larson is also incredible in her role, and plays the emotional part exceptionally. A truly exceptional and thought-provoking work of art.
Peter Pan & Wendy (2023)
Missing magic
Peter Pan & Wendy" is a decent adaptation, but let's be real, it's nowhere near as good as the original. That said, it's still a lot better than some other Peter Pan adaptations, like "Pan." It's true that we've seen so many versions of the story that they start to blend together. The acting was okay, but it didn't make me believe they were the characters they said they were. Nothing felt magical or fantastical at all. While it doesn't capture the magic of the original, it's a reminder that some classics are best left untouched. Now Disney, keep that in mind for your upcoming Snow white movie please.
Greatest Days (2023)
Musical madness and sadness
At the beginning, it seemed to embrace a cheesy, boy band-like vibe that might not be everyone's cup of tea. However, as the story progressed, it underwent a remarkable transformation, taking a surprising emotional turn that genuinely tugged at the heartstrings.
The movie beautifully captured a range of emotions, and the shift towards the end was both unexpected and deeply moving. The change in tone, from lighthearted to heart-wrenching, left a lasting impact.
Despite its initial cheesiness, "Greatest Days" managed to resonate on a more profound level, making it a film that takes you by surprise and leaves you reflecting on the poignant moments long after the credits roll.
The Lion King II: Simba's Pride (1998)
Like father like daughter
The Lion King 2: Simba's Pride takes us back to the Pride Lands with a fresh twist. It introduces us to Simba's daughter, Kiara, and Kovu, who adds depth to the story. While it may not quite reach the heights of the original, it's a solid sequel. The film maintains the classic Lion King elements, including memorable songs and the circle of life theme, making it a worthwhile addition to the Lion King universe. I personally love getting to see Simba as a father and Nala as a mother. It's a beautiful connection to the first film. If you're a fan of the first movie, this one's definitely worth a watch.
The Girl Who Believes in Miracles (2021)
Hope
"The Girl who believes in miracles" is a heartwarming film that beautifully captures the essence of faith and hope. It had me in tears throughout, with its touching story and powerful performances. If you're looking for a movie that will tug at your heartstrings and leave you with a sense of inspiration, this one's a must-watch. It's a moving tale of belief in the extraordinary, and it's bound to leave a lasting impression on you. Make sure you have a box of tissues handy though because my goodness does this film make you cry! This film is cheesy and by no means full of great acting, but it's a lovely story about hope.
Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace (2020)
Tugs on your heartstrings
"Lucy Shimmers and the Prince of Peace" is a heartwarming film that beautifully promotes hope and faith. The young actress in the main role delivers an outstanding performance that will tug at your heartstrings. This touching movie left me in tears, reminding us of the power of belief and the beauty of innocence. Is it the best movie I've ever seen? No. Does it warm your heart? Yes! It made me wholeheartedly believe in the power of friendship, hope and faith. Yes the acting from the adults isn't the best by any means, the little girl outshined the lot of them. But if you like a movie that tugs on your heartstrings, give it a watch!
Don't Worry Darling (2022)
Plot twist
Had no clue what to expect with this film. Chosen at random. I was Pleasantly surprised. I love a film that keeps you guessing until the very end and this one did just that. Great acting from Florence Pugh too! I won't spoil anything just watch it. Also love the 50s decor. It truly starts out a bit confusing but it kept me completely hooked trying to figure it out with my boyfriend. It's very much stepford wives, Truman show vibes, so if you love those movies you will most probably enjoy this one too. And if you're a Harry styles fan, it's worth a watch just for him, he actually acts really well in this especially near the end.
