Gets two full points for Jennifer Lawrence.

How about a spoiler alert?!

To what? The entirety of cinema?

Also, there's no way Buff is popping a space movie into the DVD player. No way in hell.

Leguizamo is good in everything. no sure who pratt is offhand. Its' been a while since I've viewed, remember that I just really enjoyed the story.

he certainly seems to be holding something back. probably not his type of movie more than anything

I think Legs is kind of annoying.

Goodness is something to be chosen. When a man cannot choose he ceases to be a man.

I'm not the biggest fan of Marvel, but I've liked the Xmen over the years. The movie was ok.

He's also a highly overrated director, in my opinion.
Most of his stuff is so intentionally over the top and pretentious that I find it hard to watch.
I found 2001: A Space Odyssey especially hard to get through.

Kubrick is awesome. I'm not a huge fan of A Clockwork Orange though. 2001 is a great one but you gotta be in the mood for it I think. Dr. Strangelove is classic.

Paths of Glory is Kubrick at his best.

Beauty and the Beast (2017)- 10/10

When I think of Disney movies I really don’t think about stuff like Cinderella, Little Mermaid, or Beauty and the Beast. Most of what I grew up with were stuff like Fox and the Hound, Song of the South, Lady and the Tramp, or Sleeping Beauty. I had seen the original BATB at least once but it has been a very long time since then so comparing the two will be fruitless for this review. Being a Watson fan I obviously took interest in the idea that she would be starring in this picture although I was initially disappointed that Del Toro had backed out of the project originally. While im generally not a fan of musicals either there are few out there including this one that work for me as a viewer.

So for those who are not familiar with the story of Beauty and the Beast the synopsis is simply about a prince who became cursed as a beast because he was such a jerkoff. He is to remained cursed until he can learn to love and find a woman who can love him back before a single rose in his possession loses all of its petals. In the process some of the people who were part of his posse also got cursed as objects within his castle like a clock, piano, or tea cup. Belle (played by Watson) is a young girl who lives in a nearby tiny village with her widowed father and is looked upon as not your average ordinary girl because she likes to spend time reading or creating inventions. Soon after her father is imprisoned by the beast for trying to steal a rose from his personal garden.

Soon Belle searches out for her father and then offers to switch places with him as a prisoner of the beast to live out eternity. However, unknown to the beast the posse he has are desperate to release the curse and become human again so they try many different methods to make Belle see the beast for more than what is on the outside. Lost in all of this is an arrogant character named Gaston (Luke Evans) who tries mightily to win Belle’s affection without any luck. With this in mind Gaston then tries to imprison Belle’s father into a mental institution until Belle is freed from the castle due to the beast’s love for her. Gaston upon seeing Belle alive and being shown that a beast actually does exist decides to form a mob to attack and kill him.

With some good singing, great acting, and very good graphics this movie shines in all the right places. For me this is the best EW movie I have gotten to witness. It even moves beyond the Potter movies for me in so many ways. Whether or not this role is good enough for an Oscar for her remains to be seen an im not even sure if its quite up there. But if she does manage to win one than I wont be disappointed at all. I think she put a lot of great effort in this role and executes it perfectly with some really solid talent around her in Ian McKellan, Emma Thompson, Kevin Kline, and Dan Stevens. Some of the negative reviews I have seen to me are really nit picking what I think is a great great movie with its own merits. To me the complaints if any are very small and im generally one who is pretty hard on Emma’ acting work as the last couple of movies kind of left me with a blah feeling. But not so here, I think she absolutely shines as Belle and I think this is the type of character that she was made to be.
