i just saw tangled.


Eeeeeeeeeep!



I just got home from watching Tangled! It only came out here TODAY in Ireland. Terrible, huh? But it was certainly worth waiting for.




It was adorable. Really truly. It had such a sweet story!




It was also really funny. Hilarious. I could barely keep myself from bursting into a loud fit of laughter at times (but thankfully I didn't do that. Because it's really embarrassing to burst out laughing when the rest of the cinema is almost dead quiet. Talk about awkward. I can't wait to buy it on DVD so I can laugh my head off all I want.)



And the animation was so gorgeous. I usually prefer movies when it's all drawn, but I really didn't mind the computer animation in this one. In fact, I think it's way better that way. Oh, and Rapunzel's dresses were so pretty.



And Flynn was awesome. *smiles*


I wanna see this movie again so badly! I'd watch it right now if I could.


This is such a great movie. I think it's the best movie Disney has made in a long time. If you haven't seen it yet, then I think you should. Like, as soon as possible.

movie quiz answers




Thanks to everyone who commented their guesses to my movie quiz! Here's the answers:





Emma (1996 version):


Mr. Knightly: Emma, you didn't ask me to contribute a riddle.

Emma: Your entire personality is a riddle, Mr. Knightly, I thought you overqualified.








Madagascar 2:

Alex: Mary, it looks like this is it! I just want you to know, you're a one in a million friend!

Marty: Thanks, Alex! You are a true friend!

Alex: And I'm sure you won't mind when I tell you...

Mary: What? Tell me what?

Alex: I broke your iPod!








Toy Story 3:

Woody: Look, I just need to get out of here...

Buttercup (the unicorn) : [dramatically] There is no way out!

Buttercup continues: Just kidding. Door's right over there.








LOTR - The Fellowship of the Ring:



Aragorn: Gentlemen, we do not stop till nightfall.

Pippin: What about breakfast?

Aragorn: You've already had it.

Pippin: We've had one, yes. What about second breakfast?









It's A Wonderful Life:


Clarence: Your brother - Harry Bailey - broke through the ice and was drowned at the age of nine.

George Bailey: That's a lie! Harry Bailey went to war - he got the Congressional Medal of Honor, he saved the lives of every man on that transport.

Clarence: Every man on that transport died! Harry wasn't there to save them, because you weren't there to save Harry.





Remember the Titans:

Alice (Nurse) : Only kin's allowed in here.

Bertier: Alice, are you blind? Don't you see the family resemblance? That's my brother.








The Patriot:


Martin: Before this war is over, I'm going to kill you.

Tavington (evil dude in the picture): Why wait?

Martin: Soon.







Enchanted:

Robert: Would you like me to call someone for you?

Giselle: I don't think they would hear you from here.





Congrats to Karalee and Heather who both guessed the most correctly!

my review - the voyage of the dawn treader





Last night I saw The Voyage of the Dawn Treader for the first time.

I want to start off by explaining just how much I love the book. But I can't. I think it is impossible to express just how incredible and magical the book is.
It's a masterpiece.

Ever since I listened to the radio theater and heard the story for the first time I've wished that they would make a movie out of it. And even more so after I read the book for myself. You have no idea how excited I was when it was finally in the making.



I walked into the cinema not really knowing what to expect. Would it be any good? Would it be anything like the book at all? Did they leave out or change the things I loved most about the book?

And I have to say - it was very different than the book. It was just loosely based on the book. But since the book has so many different adventures that make up the main one, it would be pretty impossible to squeeze it all into a 2-hour movie. So they rather cleverly joined them together, and I think they did a really good job.

There were lots of things I really loved about this movie. One thing was that lots of the characters were just perfect. Two that really stuck out to me were Eustace and Reepicheep. They were both so funny and were almost exactly as I have always imagined them to be like. Eustace was a terrible nuisance - just as he should be! Another thing was that the scenery and the music were really beautiful.

I am pretty sad, though, that my favorite character - Aslan - didn't seem to play as much of a part in the story that I wish he had.



Overall I think it was a great movie and that they did a wonderful job on it - I think it was my favorite out of the three movies! I can't wait to see it again.

a movie quiz!


A few other blog that I follow have done movie quizzes, and they are always SO fun to do. So I've decided to do one of my own! Here's how it all works:



Step 1: I make a post with different quotes from movies I love, not telling what movie it is.

Step 2: You can try to guess which movie each quote is from and comment you're guesses - you can ask family members to help you guess but please don't cheat by looking them up on Google! ;)

Step 3. I won't publish the comments, so that other people can guess. And then in a few days I will post up the answers!


Hope you have fun with this!
