Taking a Break!

Hello readers,

Just to let you all know that I’ll be taking a break from this blog for the rest of the month to recuperate and enjoy some time off. I plan to resume posting on this blog again in January. Don’t worry, I’ll still be around the blogosphere; I’m just taking a writing break from this blog. Take care!

Ah, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day! This was a book that most of us Americans read at least once in our lives growing up. And when we heard they were making a film adaptation of it…I don’t think many of us really cared that much. The story itself seemed unable to be adapted, but then again, I thought the same thing about LEGOs.

And look what they did with that!

So, could Disney pull this off and make this book into an awesome film? Or would the film’s quality reflect its title? Let’s take a look at Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day!

And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!

On October 6, 2015, we lost another live-action Disney legend, Kevin Corcoran.

Gonna miss you, kid!

Known best for his childhood appearances in Disney films, the actor was 66 years old when he passed away. To pay tribute to him like I did for Dean Jones, I decided to review one of the films that he was in. I’ve already reviewed two of his films before (Pollyanna and Babes in Toyland), so today I’m doing a film that many find beloved: The Shaggy Dog. Do I find it beloved? Well, let’s find out!

So, Disney and their live-action remakes of their animated classics…

here we go again

Ever since they became popular, I’ve been staunchly against these remakes and thought that the first two of these films, Alice in Wonderland and Maleficent, were just horrible! Now, comes the third in the series, Cinderella, and they say third time’s a charm! Is this one any good? Will it change my views on these live-action Disney remakes? Let’s find out!

And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!

On September 1, 2015, actor Dean Jones passed away at the age of 84. Disney fans were quite saddened by this as the lovable actor with “boyish good looks” was a staple in many live-action Disney films acting in 10 total!

He's probably the actor who's acted in the most Disney films. Could somebody verify that for me, please?

To pay tribute to the man, I thought it appropriate to review one of his films. I’ve already reviewed one of his films on this blog already, The Love Bug. This time, I’m reviewing The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit.
