Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Disney at it's best
This is one of those movies that you either love or you hate. I think movie is very misunderstood by those who hate it. You have to understand that there is always a magical aspect to Dinsey films and very symbolic too. It is that good deeds (Belle's love/ the Beast's ability to learn to love, etc...) result to good things (the Beast becomes a handsome prince/ lived happily ever after). It may not be the way life works, but teach some morals. And this film does that very well! It is very entertaining musically and can bring out a variety of emotions. Yes, the characters are not developed as well as films like Lion King, but it is still very entertaining. The characters are still much more developed than movies we see nowadays. I say this is a must see, adult or child!
A Walk to Remember (2002)
It's better the second time around
I read the book before watching the movie. I have to say, the book isn't very good. The style of writing did not fit in with the mood. So, it wasn't very thriller, although some parts of the book were tolerable (like the relationship between Jamie and her father). I watched the movie right after reading it, and i hated it (it was better than the book for sure). I couldn't imagine how someone who is going through so much could have so much faith in god, in life. I certainly wouldn't. So I decided to watch it again this weekend and I have to say, I get it now. This is a story about how two people learn and sort of complete each other. Some lines are very corny and it's mixed in with some bad acting, but the story isn't half bad. You will either sob through the movie or turn it off half way. It really all depends on what sort of mood/light you watch it in.
I would give this movie 6.5/10, but I can't.
