Hello readers,
Sorry, but I’ll be traveling in the upcoming days, so taking some time off this blog! See you in 2 weeks!
Postponed till Next Week
Sorry readers, but been busy. Will update next week!
Peter Pan & Wendy (2023)
(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)
Amongst the multiple live-action remakes of animated films being made by Disney, one of them was Peter Pan. Now this one felt a bit more palatable since it can be seen as a new adaptation of the Peter Pan story (something that has been done so many times in film and TV) rather than a remake of the animated 1953 film itself. Directed by David Lowery, the film debuted on Disney+ rather than going to cinemas. Is it a wonderful thought? Read on for my review of Peter Pan & Wendy!
And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!
Guess the Movie I’m Reviewing on May 19, 2023!
Popeye (1980)
(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)
Who would have thunk that Disney would have made a film about the spinach-loving cartoon sailor, Popeye? Well, in a rare co-production with another studio (Paramount Pictures, in this case), they did! Growing up with the Popeye cartoons, I always had an affection for the characters: him, Olive Oyl, Swee’Pea, Wimpy, and Brutus (I was more familiar with the antagonist being named Brutus rather than Bluto). I never read the actual Popeye comic strip until much later in life. How does this Robert Altman-directed film hold up as an adaptation? Read on to find out!
And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!
Post Delayed!
Sorry readers, but I’ll be postponing my review until next week.
Guess the Movie I’m Reviewing on April 28, 2023!
Chang Can Dunk (2023)
(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)
It seems like every year, Disney puts out at least one sports-themed live-action film. Today, we take a look at the Jingyi Shao-directed basketball film, Chang Can Dunk!
And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!
Guess the Movie I’m Reviewing on April 14, 2023!
Summer Magic (1963)
(If this is your first time on this blog, I ask you to read my About page first! Thanks!)
I’ve already reviewed five of the six films that Hayley Mills made for Disney, so it was inevitable that I would eventually complete the set.
Directed by James Neilson, Summer Magic is a Sherman Brothers musical set in early 20th Century Maine. I hadn’t seen it before, but heard good things from many of my Disney friends. Did I agree with them? Read on for my review of Summer Magic.
And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!
